Shehnaz congratulations on your success! Intense emotions are also caused by thoughts (our thoughts affect our emotions and our emotions affect our behaviors) so you can apply the strategies of this video to manage those thoughts too :)

Nasia, thanks a lot for your work. I can’t describe how grateful I am… I’m so happy I’ve found you and your channel because your videos and your method have helped (and are helping) me a lot. I’ve finally managed to see the error of my ways. I’m from Russia, I’m 28 and I’ve been smoking for 11 years. I’ve always thought I would never do this for good. But now (and thanks to you) I really believe that I can do it and that I don’t need cigarettes anymore. My quitting date is today. After thousands of attempts (I’m not exaggerating, unfortunately) And this is my first comment on KZfaq;) I just really want to say THANK YOU. Maybe some day I will tell you this in person;) Thank you

I'm so grateful to you Nasia! You have uncovered the main ticket to quitting that so many smokers struggle to find! Thank you for your videos! I started reprogramming my mind to be a non smoker on jan 1st of 2023. I listed as many triggers as I could think of. I identified 30 daily triggers. I ranked them from weak to strong and divided them up between 4 weeks. The whole month of january has been about tackling my mental addiction and its thanks you your method that I'm where I'm at right now! Week 3 of weakening triggers! My quit date is set for Feb 5th! I've gone from constantly being controlled by smoking to rarely wanting one! I use your advice on every situation! I talk back to my craving mind. I remind myself what I dont like about smoking. I watch your videos whenever I feel to overwhelmed by a craving. You are awesome Nasia! Also curious, where you are from? I've been trying to identify your accent because I love it!

Amazing really helpful video, so many of my problems in my life that I link to smoking is addressed by this video. Thank you for sharing this information. I think understanding the background to addiction helps me, specific techniques I find useful include deep breathing and grounding in the moment, challenging both negative thoughts to stopping and positive associations with smoking by writing down in a small diary I have is also really helpful. Most of the information I have gotten from the CBQ method.

Same for me sir. You have to pick a day and stick to it when you wake up. Have that last cigarette before you sleep if you need it. I literally have quit 5 times and had set backs but I am almost there. I can feel how much I have learned from each time I failed myself. My true problem is to stay smoke free for life. I still cant see me not smoking. The longest I quit was for 3 months and than all of a sudden something bad happened and I went right back like I never quit. It is super hard to stick it like glue. Someone told me dont think about quitting all the way up until I am 60 because that's why I feel it is impossible. One day at a time will set us free.
