Quitting Smoking: 100 Days Smoke Free - What I've Learned So Far 

Great job, Colleen :) Wishing you many more smoke free days ahead!

Congratulations! :) I still remember how good that felt! :) Keep up the great work!

Thank you, Tracy. I'm glad you're finding these videos helpful :)

Amen to that :) It's been a year of getting rid of the things that no longer serve me (and some of the things that I realise now never did!), food and people included!

😂😂😂

Thank you, Xou, what a beautiful comment to receive. You're very welcome and I do hope this video provided some help to you. Best of luck to you on your quitting journey, I'll have more videos coming soon that will hopefully provide more encouragement :) Have a wonderful day.

Thank you! Hope it's going well for you. i just passed the seven month mark :)

Best of luck my friend - Absolutely no reason why you can't make it! Check back in and let me know how you get on!

Thank you! Yep you're exactly right - I realise now I never felt good when I smoked - only after I quit. Congrats on one week - that's good going! :) Keep in touch and let me know how you get on!

Thank you sir, I realise what I'm doing to my system and there's no way I'm going back, thank you for your encouragement I really appreciate it, it's mind over matter, I will definitely keep in touch with you because you make a lot of sense.

Hi Bertie, sorry it took me a while to reply! Hope your smoke-free journey got off to a flying start! You're absolutely right, if we can get past our addiction to smoking there really is no stopping us!

So glad you found the video helpful, Edina - well done on 12 days smoke free..keep up the great work! As of today I'm celebrating 1 year smoek free, if I can do it anyone can!

Hi Ben, hope the quit is going well for you so far! Yes, definitely feeling the benefits of being smoke-free...trust me, if I can do it, you definitely can! Keep me posted on how you do.

Hi Lynx! Really glad you found the video helpful! I've posted lots of other videos about quitting smoking that you may find useful too :) Best of luck with our quit journey - keep in touch and let me know how you get on!

Will do, thanks Chris! :)

Thank you very much, yes I'm proud of my journey so far - over a year smoke free since this video was published. Glad you found it helpful!

Thanks man, one step forward!

Thanks Samantha, hope life's being good to you!

Great news, best of luck with your quit attempt! I was actually thinking of making a new video for those preparing to quit, I'll let you know if I get it up, and do send me your video soon as it goes live, I'd love to see it :) Have a wonderful day.

Glad it helped, Marie :) Keep up the great work!

Hi Nicki, glad you're doing good after quitting :) I tried Allen Carr's book but wasn't successful with the book alone. It does change the way you think about smokign but for me that wasn't enough. As long as we all get there that's the main thing!

I listened to the audio of Allen's book and it worked for almost 3 years and I went back to smoking during relationship troubles. I would recommend this book for those that haven't tried it yet. I don't like taking drugs but after reading his book and nothing happening 2nd time around, I am on day 3 of champix.

Congratulations on three days, Bakkasur, that's a great start, don't give up now. Yes, headaches, tension and sleep issues can be some of the side effects of the nicotine and all the gunk getting out of your system, but I promise you they don't last long and things do get better. Hanging on through this tough period will certainly be worth it. For the headaches and sleeplessness I drank chamomile tea - i find it has a very calming, soothing effect - plenty of water can be a big help too. Best of luck to you and keep in touch to let me know how your joueny goes!

I feel sleepy and haven't stopped smoking yet. Day 3 of champix

Best of luck with your quit journey :) gets tough but it's so worth it - I'm actually just firing up my camera now to do another video about champix. Keep in touch and let me know how your quit goes!!

Chris Skoyles how many months till insomnia stops ??

Rat Man 44 years? Why stop after 44 years?

@@joanofarc33 Why? LOL. Well, in 2017 I thought I was terminally ill, but my doctor said no. Doctor said I'd be dead by 2019 if I didn't stop smoking. Doctor also said that I can live a long time if I stopped smoking. I haven't smoked for 33 months now and I'm completely over it. I'll never smoke again. I can breathe so much better. My cardio has improved a lot. I've gained a lot of muscle mass. My quality of life is good and even though I'm living with moderate emphysema, I'm still doing a lot of heavy lifting, walking, pushing and pulling. I'm still; working 60 hours a week and I'm still healing and getting stronger. My quality of life is good. If I hadn't stopped smoking after 44 years, I'd be dead now, but I'm alive and doing very well. Does that answer your question?

Really glad it does, Carrie! Thank you for watching :)

Excellent! Great job, Cynthia!

Congratulations Sammie, so glad you made it to day 100 :)

If you enjoy smoking, nobody's going to stop you! Enjoy them if that's what you want to do :) As for the "It keeps me stress free, we're all going to die one day" stuff, I've covered this exact thing in loads of other videos, including this one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2DSDn8ZeuYo.html

Sammy. If i may. The thing is many long term smokers arent lucky enough to die. The physical ailments and diseases are at risk. Not being able to run or walk not being able to breathe. Being on oxygen tanks. Being in hospitals. Not having energy to enjoy children or grandchildren. I smoked 43 years. Just got out of the icu almost died pneumonia collapsed lung. Im 100 days smoke free now. My grandson 7 yrs old was devestated. Hes so happy that i quit

@@yolandapacheco9198 I know what you mean. Also, my comment is 6 years old!

Hello Ilona! Yes I'm still smoke free - over a year now. The biggest challenges - and there's been some big ones - getting over bereavements with the loss of grandparents and friends without smoking again - and dealing with cravings in the early going. I spoke about some of these challenges in another video I made here - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d8n5DecIPJY.html Also if you look on my chanel I've posted a few more videos talking about challenges when quitting smoking :)

Hi Chris, thank you for your answer. My problem isn´t quitting smoking, the challenge is staying smoke-free while there are some heavy smokers around the table. The other drug addicts/smokers are the problem. How do you deal with that?

That is a tough one - honestly, the only solution i found was to walk away. With other quit attempts, I had friends/family who smoked and I would just follow them outside or wherever to enjoy their company - I always ended up smoking again. this time, I just had to move away and let them get on with it - I found I ended up making new friends because i was putting myself in places were smokers weren't. People who care about you will understand and be accepting that you're trying to do something great by quitting smoking. If it's not an option to walk away completely - is there an option to at least spend less time around them? that really is tricky and I don't think there's an easy answer. I'll give this some more thought though.

nao TV I'm on my third of fourth day after smoking for 5 years straight, pretty heavily. I'm 27 now. I noticed it too. I'm positive it's just that I feel it now. My body is reaching for more air and noticing how difficult it's become and how weak it is now. I feel like my heart and lungs are full of glass but beyond that I really do have more energy and I feel much healthier. I got out for a run around the park and quickly realized I'd be walking most of it. That's ok, don't force anything. Take it slow. Good luck to ya. I'm excited about playing more basketball and being generally less dead lol.

I'm feeling the same

I went from a few a day to ten, to twenty and upto 30-40 per day. Trust me, if there's something missing from your life, cigarettes aren't it, all cigarettes do is take even more away and add nothing...

Cos I'm a loser, baby? ;)
