Has anyone else tried any of the quit smoking (free) self hyonosis youtube videos? I have found them to be quite useful. Also very good for meditation and relaxation.

Nicotine dependency recovery can be our greatest personal awakening ever. Imagine destroying needless quitting fears by understanding them, and thus being able to better notice and savor the beauty about to unfold before you. No longer afraid, imagine noticing your breathing improve and the richness sensed by rapidly healing taste-buds. Imagine discovering that white flour and rain drops have ...

I am away from home and cannot smoke around my family, so it's easy not to smoke at all. I can't understand my own self, as I'm afraid that when I get home I will start again. I know all of the reasons to stop, and it makes me feel so much better - even did a 7.5 km run this morning - twice as far as my most recent pathetic efforts. Every single one of my previous quits has failed, obviously...

No smoker enjoys being a smoker. Life is infinitely more enjoyable as a non smoker. All smokers feel stupid. It's easy to stop, and enjoy the process. Once the little monster leaves your body, the awful feeling of insecurity ends. Your confidence returns along with a marvellous feeling of self respect. Don't mope. Rejoice.

2 weeks and two days (almost) down. I really don't want to smoke but am needing to "do something else" instead. I imagine sucking down a cigar and the effect it would have on my throat, the bad smells blowing around the neighbourhood, the effect on my wallet. I've saved $175.00 already, and that's not including the alcohol that I didn't have to buy to make the fags taste less foul. I look forw...

Day 8 yet again (and hopefully for the last time). I really cannot imagine myself smoking again - it's like being in a nightmare and not being able to wake up. I am very afraid of starting again, as I have do many times before. Now, I try to imagine the pleasure of having a smoke, but I can only imagine the stink, the discomfort in my throat, the shame of polluting my neighbours environments, th...

Hunger for food, hunger for nicotine. Food craves, nicotine craves. "Aaah" wanting satisfaction while taking bites, "aaah" satisfaction while replenishing nicotine reserves. Welcome to the addict's world of nicotine normal, a world built on lies. For if we don't eat food we die, while if we stop using nicotine we thrive! I now feel so much healthier and happier than I did three days ago, is it...

Recovery is good, not bad. It needs to be embraced not feared. The good news is that everything done while under nicotine's influence can be done as well or better without it.

Nicotine dependency recovery can be our greatest personal awakening ever. Imagine destroying needless quitting fears by understanding them, and thus being able to better notice and savor the beauty about to unfold before you.

There is no such thing as withdrawal pangs, just an empty feeling that returns about an hour after every nicotine hit, causing us to light up. This is the little worm. Every time you ignore the worm, you are starving it to death. It can't survive without being fed. The empty feeling is real, but guess what - non smokers don't have this problem, so we won't either, once we free ourselves from tha...
