What Did They Do To You To Make You Quit Smoking?

A common question posed to graduates of my stop smoking clinics was what the clinic did to the them to make them quit smoking. The video explains that as a clinic, we did nothing to them to make them quit. All that we did was provide the participants with information that helped them to understand what they needed to do to quit. It is the same information that provided freely on the Internet, through Joel's YouTube channel as well as through information and support available at the WhyQuit.com site.

"It's Inevitable, Some Smokers Are Going To Relapse" 

If you are a member of any quit smoking support group, whether it be online or a live program, it is likely that some members of your group are going to fail. You should not interpret this fact to mean that it is likely or inevitable that you are going to fail. Video spells out the major difference between people who relapse and those who don't.

Are Doctors Taught About Nicotine Recovery?

Sometimes the response people get from their doctors upon finding out that they had quit smoking is less than enthusiastic, often expressing great skepticism that the people will be able to sustain their quits over the long-term. The former smokers are often left discouraged and at times begin to question their own ability to stay off. Video explains why physicians are often pessimistic of people's ability to quit smoking and stay smoke free over the long term.

Joel's Halloween Fearfest

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=IPynhryM2RY

 

Halloween is a holiday where people try to scare themselves. It is a perfect holiday to address irrational fears people have regarding quitting as well as the frightening realities faced by people who smoke and do not quit. For those looking for blood and guts, some of the videos linked below will meet those needs too. What is really scary is that all of the stories and pictures related in those videos are real. Scaring yourself to death is really pretty hard to do. Smoking yourself to death isn't. Don't use fear to trick yourself into not quitting--treat yourself to a healthier and happier life by making and sticking to a personal commitment to never take another puff.

Does It Take 21 Days To Break The Smoking "Habit"?

A common misconception is that smoking is simply a habit and that if you can go 21 days without using you will break the habit . Video discusses how smoking is more than a habit, it is an addiction accompanied by associations with many events and activities encountered throughout life. Experience, not time is what is going to determine how long it is before you break all of the different associations that you may have with cigarettes.

I Will Control My Smoking Now

One of the major reasons why some people relapse is because they have been off smoking a significant period of time and they begin to believe that they will now be able to control the way they will smoke.
Video explains the full power of the grip that nicotine can take on an individual once it is administered and how they will likely end up smoking just as they had before and possibly even worse.
