Cigarette Countdown 101: How to Use the Cigarette Countdown Tool [Video]

Contents

💡Your quit progress is not defined by how much you are cutting down each day but by how much you are changing how you think and feel about smoking. Simply cutting down does not change your relationship with smoking or remove your desire or need for nicotine.

🧠 Eliminating the desire to smoke is a process that the CBQ Program takes you through, step by step.

🙌 By focusing on the transformational lessons and exercises, you will reprogram your mind into a happy non-smoker and quit smoking easily – no matter how much you still smoke on your quit date!

Then… why do we cut down on the CBQ Program? I explain why in the video you’ll find on this page.
