How I Finally Quit Smoking After 20 Years (The Truth I’ve Never Shared)

This week, I’m opening up about something I’ve never properly shared before—my long journey to stop smoking. I was a secret smoker for years, and despite trying everything from hypnotherapy to nicotine gum, I couldn’t stop. In this video, I talk honestly about what finally helped me quit for good—how unprocessed trauma shaped my addiction, the role of therapy, and how one audiobook arrived at just the right time. I also share the story of how addressing childhood trauma during therapy unlocked something major for me, and why Alan Carr’s audiobook finally worked where everything else hadn’t. If you’re struggling with smoking or know someone who is, I really hope this helps. Love, Charlie x Please Note - I am not a medical professional. This is simply my personal story, shared in the hope it might support or encourage someone else.
