What matters is that you’re here and you’re trying.

Quitting smoking is possible. Many of us thought we could never do it, but we did.

Welcome to the community. I’m glad you’re here.

We all have something we hate about smoking. Otherwise, we probably wouldn’t be here😃

So what do you hate the most about being a smoker?

I smoked between 40 and 60 cigarettes a day for 10 years, and I quit smoking 5 years ago.

Hey, I want to create a small support/accountability group for content creators and coaches who are using content to build an online business and help other people.

I want to bring together people who are on the same path, because I know how hard it can be to meet others who are building something similar, and how lonely this journey can feel sometimes.

It doesn’t matter if you’re creating content on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook...

What matters is that we have the same goal: to grow, improve, build something meaningful, and help other people through our content, work, or business.

But this is not going to be only about business. It’s also about self-development, discipline, mindset, content creation, overcoming challenges, friendship, sharing knowledge and experience, giving each other advice, and helping each other stay accountable.

We’ll have weekly or monthly Zoom calls to talk, share progress, ask questions, exchange advice, and support each other.

I’ll also create a WhatsApp group where we can stay in touch between the calls, ask quick questions, support each other, and reach out if someone needs help with something urgent.

I want this to be a place where people genuinely support each other, not a place where people only come to use others or promote themselves.

The goal is to help others, share what we know, learn from each other’s experiences, and build real connections.

This group will be free and only for selected people, and spots will be limited. I want to keep it small, serious, and valuable for everyone inside.

If that sounds interesting, feel free to comment or send me a message.

When I was smoking, I had a lot of health problems. Headaches, constant nervousness, trouble sleeping, low energy, and a lot of stomach issues.

But back then, I didn’t realize smoking was the root cause of most of it.

I spent a lot of money on doctors, trying to figure out what was causing those problems and how to fix them.

And every doctor told me I needed to quit smoking and give my body a chance to heal. But I was stubborn, and I thought I knew better.

I kept telling myself, “Okay, I’ll go on a diet, and that will help,” but it never did. My gastritis and acid reflux only got worse over time.

On top of that, I was constantly nervous, and I couldn’t understand why.

I didn’t even have any real reason to feel that nervous all the time. I convinced myself that I was just a naturally anxious person.

Over time, I started realizing that cigarettes might actually be the cause of my problems, and I really wanted to quit.

After several failed attempts, I finally quit smoking in 2021.

And after just a few days, I started noticing a difference in how I felt. My stomach problems got worse during the first week, which is pretty normal, but after that, things got much better.

My sleep improved a lot. I had way more energy than before. And I wasn’t constantly nervous anymore like I was when I was smoking.

It’s been 5 years since I quit smoking, and I honestly still can’t believe how much better my life is now compared to when I was smoking.
