«I smoked for 15 years. In a nutshell, I would mark this time with anxiety, constant worries, panic attacks, fussing, and a constant sense that something was wrong. Just one negative thought was enough to start chain smoking. Every day was the same. As if cigarettes really helped me. And the most interesting thing: when everything was good and I was happy, I also lighted up a cigarette. This book made me open my eyes. The main thing I came to realize is that cigarettes are shattering your emotional state and solving nothing. After I read it, I realized that I had been poisoning myself with my own hands. It finally hit me. The book is great, and I really like how Nelli has expounded human nature. She has covered everything and approached it from different angles. And it’s easy and well written.»

«I’ve read the book. I don’t smoke anymore. My brain fought back. Today I tried to read it at work, and every time I dropped off in my chair, I tried my best to keep reading. And I’ve finished it. I knew for sure that I would finish it and I would not smoke again. This book helped me very much. It was just like a kick that I badly needed. Everything is now clear and obvious to me. Awesome. Honestly, I’m shocked. Thank you so much.»

«Briefly, I no longer smoke. I didn’t quit smoking. I’m a smoker who doesn’t smoke. How come? How did I kick a cigarette? Read this book and you will understand. An important point is that it makes you feel again, alters your perspective, and removes your blinders. The words are arranged in a way that makes me understand, on all conscious and subconscious levels, what tobacco smoking is to me, why and what I smoke for. Just so you know, I smoked for 27 years. By the way, while reading, I realized the way financial crashes happened in my life. Nelli, thank you.»

«My name is Elena. I’m 36 years old and have smoked for 16 years. A few days ago, I happened to read „Quit Quitting Smoking“ by Nelli Davydova. I could tell it was going to be mind blowing just by looking at the title. The book served as a compass for me, pointing in the right direction. I realized I had patterns in my head: „If I smoke, then I’m cool,“ „If I smoke, then I’m rebellious and grown up.“ If I smoke, my desires that should have been fulfilled long ago remain neglected, and issues that should have been resolved long ago remain unresolved. If I smoke, I lose all my inner joy. I was also unaware of the fact that I was killing myself. When I achieved some kind of result, for example, in my work, I would happily reach for a cigarette that would make my thoughts hectic and prevent me from continuing working. The book helped me find where the energy drain was. The book is very clear and detailed about all the possible options. Nellie, thank you. The book is valuable. And you yourself are very valuable. I’m free and no longer smoke.»

«I quit smoking when I was 25. After that, I didn’t smoke for a long time. Five years ago, I started smoking off and on: I would smoke for a month, then take a break for a year, and so on. The book has divided my life into „before“ and „after“. Nelli, The book is the bomb! I got so many insights! I couldn’t stop reading. And even the part about our fears has settled in the back of my head somewhere, although I was bewildered on an unconscious level. After reading it, I felt so energetic and enthusiastic. I choose to be a non-smoker and free. Thank you for explaining everything so thoroughly. I have a strong desire to live and achieve my goals for the first time in a long time.»

«It’s been two days since I last smoked. I don’t even think about it now. It’s as if I’ve returned to a time when I didn’t smoke and didn’t crave it. It’s as if I have never smoked before. A year ago, I took pills to stop smoking, all in vain. I had it in my head that smoking was a habit, an addiction, not something one could easily give up. It turned out to be nothing but a belief. Nelli, as usual, you blew my mind. I can call this a miracle.»

«Nelli, thank you for this book. The information is detailed and easy to comprehend. Why do I need it? What exactly am I trying to replace with cigarettes? I gave myself a couple of days to complete the pack of smokes after finishing the book, but I broke them down and flushed them down the toilet in less than an hour. The cravings are gone, and if they suddenly appear, I just say to myself, „No, I don’t need it. I will not get tricked again.“ I start breathing deeply, but most of the time I don’t even think about it. As if there hadn’t been 30 years of smoking.»

«It’s nice to realize that I don’t suffer. I really don’t feel the need for it. It’s eye opening. I was also reminiscing about those 4 years of no smoking. It was bliss. I feel so much better without cigarettes in general. There is no addiction anymore, no nausea, no odour… How did I forget that? A week later, I found myself going somewhere with an electronic cigarette in my hand. I took a drag out of habit. I felt so sad right away. I thought to myself, „Why?! What for?“ The despair and sadness jolted me awake. I was happy that it was just a dream!»

«Nelli, thank you for this book. For your hard work and expertise. It all came together for me at last. What was wrong? Why couldn’t I stop smoking? I mean, I could stop it. But I couldn’t resist the temptation to start smoking again. I got trapped in a vicious circle of constant stress. And all I could think about at the time was cigarettes. I can’t tell you how many times this has happened to me. I couldn’t figure out why. But, it’s obvious now. When you have not smoked in a long time, you start to feel bursting with energy, and you’re not ready, you don’t know where to channel it, and you repress yourself – you smoke. Can you believe that I sat down to write a wish list, as you recommend, and I found my old one. „I want to quit smoking,“ was the first wish. Words can’t describe how happy I am. I heartily recommend this book to everyone. It breaks down all the thinking patterns and fears associated with smoking. In addition, it gives clear instructions on how to avoid falling into the trap in the future, as well as what to do if you catch yourself thinking about smoking. I’m finally free. I no longer smoke.»
