    I’m 6 days smoke free, but in the last 26 days I’ve only smoked twice, after smoking a pack a day or more for the last 6 years. I started when I was 17 and now I’m 23. For a few months in 2018 I smoked 2.5 packs a day; chainsmoking all the time. I’ve tried to quit so many times, with or without patches, and I’d never made it more than a day before, but after I started watching these videos I finally got to that point where I just finally said, “I’m done. I have to be done.” These videos have helped so much. I’ve already saved $293.92 in the 26 days since I quit, and I’m so grateful for these videos. ❤

    At nearly $30.00/pack, I quit 5 months ago, cold turkey. Smoking is a relationship, not a habit. Ending a bad relationships is easy, but, ending a relationship that you still enjoy is hard. The main reasons for why I smoked was not for pleasure, it was boredom. Even after occupying myself with many other things, I still get cravings because I enjoyed it, hence, missing it. I was, and am a very fit person, able to run 10km a day, even when I smoked. I do not notice any easier breathing, (smoked for 20 years), nor smelling better because I never smoked in my car or house, and always brushed my teeth after. I quit because I know smoking cigarettes is not a good healthy choice, but mostly, the COST!! I smoked 2 packs a week. My overall motivation was monetary. I still miss it, but won't smoke cigarettes anymore.

    ❤ I love how you explain the mental addiction. Rewatching your videos after quitting is so awesome because I now have an emotional AND logical experience for my brain to link positive thoughts with being a non smoker. When I was first learning your method, the logic was there but I hadn't yet experienced the emotional freedom through my own actions. Now, both feel aligned so anytime I rewatch one of your videos, my brain is benefiting even more! Off topic, but I love all your blouses too! So unique! ❤

    • @CBQMethod
      @CBQMethod  8 місяців тому +2

      Being woken up because of the addiction is highly unlikely if not impossible, yet at the same time it may seem true. For example, you may be waking up to drink water, go to the bathroom, or because of an uncomfortable position or alcohol-related insomnia (just some common scenarios) and then your mind is awake and tells you to smoke. Smoking did not cause the waking up, it came as a consequence. What will help next time you wake up mid-night, is to become immediately mindful of what woke you up. You'll know.
