Program details

We spend countless hours commuting, engaging in routine tasks, or simply scrolling through our phones. What if we could use just a fraction of this time to change our lives for the better?

We’ve made it our mission to combine the potential of breakthrough technology and evidence-based therapy to help people who struggle with addictions. We use these tools and methods to address the root causes of addiction, reshaping your habits and mindsets towards a healthier, nicotine-free life.

What is the Quit Guru program?

Quit Guru is an audio-based program utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and self-determination theory (SDT) to combat nicotine addiction. Unlike traditional methods that usually focus on immediate cessation, our program helps you gradually lessen your dependence on nicotine by understanding and modifying your addictive behaviors and thinking patterns associated with nicotine use. Our program therapy sessions are designed to be engaging and require minimal time commitment, fitting seamlessly into your routine.

How is the Quit Guru program different?

Most quitting approaches make you quit right off the bat. They don’t help you find your own honest “why” for quitting. They never tell you that willpower alone isn’t enough. Nor do they teach you how to deal with the challenges that lead to relapse and disappointment.

Quit Guru distinguishes itself by fundamentally changing your relationship with nicotine. We designed the program to eliminate not just the physical aspect of nicotine addiction but also your psychological dependence on the substance.

And that’s why our program doesn’t require you to stop using nicotine products right away. You get to quit on your terms and only when you’re truly prepared.

This involves discovering your personal reasons for quitting, gradually losing your mental dependence, gaining essential anxiety and stress management skills, and finally building up the confidence to quit for good.

We also know that simply stopping smoking, vaping, or using nicotine in any other way is not enough. Immediate and effective support right after stopping nicotine use is the difference between a nicotine-free life and yet another failed attempt to quit.

For this reason, we offer the most comprehensive post-quitting support on the market. This involves practical information and tools to help you deal with any challenges new quitters might face during the first few weeks or months after quitting.

How long does the program take?

The Quit Guru program spans 30 days. Following completion, you gain access to our ongoing post-quitting support program, which has no time limit—you can use it for as long as you find it helpful.

What am I committing to if I decide to enroll?

You’re committing to engagement with short, audio-based therapy sessions and self-assessment exercises. These are designed to fit seamlessly into your routine—whether during your morning activities, commute, or evening relaxation—requiring just up to 20 minutes of your day.

Your commitment is to participate in these sessions daily, for 30 days, at whatever time suits you best. Each program day involves exploring different aspects of quitting. These range from the way your brain is affected by addiction to noticing your addictive behaviors and replacing habits that drive addiction with new, healthy ones.

To ensure every program day makes a significant difference, we enriched the program with interactive exercises such as self-reflection prompts and behavioral tracking. Additional program resources include mood and behavior tracking, regular emails with personalized quitting advice, digital tools for setting your quitting goals, automatic journaling of your quitting progress, mindfulness-based practices, and more.

How is the Quit Guru program structured?

The Quit Guru program covers the quitting and post-quitting (staying nicotine-free) phases.

The quitting phase involves taking part in our 30-day program, which is divided into three main parts:

1. Understanding addiction—here, you'll gain general knowledge about how addiction affects your brain, influencing your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This foundational knowledge sets the stage for the practical application of quitting techniques.
2. Emotional and psychological insights—through questionnaires and reflective exercises, this part helps you dig deeper into your emotions and understand the psychological underpinnings of your addiction. These are short therapy sessions that guide you toward a genuine understanding of your personal nicotine use habits and how to overcome them.
3. Practical application—in this final segment, you’ll engage with a variety of unique practices and exercises designed specifically for this program. These tools are aimed at equipping you with strategies to handle real-life challenges during your quitting journey.

The post-quitting phase involves:

1. Continued support—you’ll reinforce your non-smoker’s mindset and prevent relapse with the post-quitting support program.
2. Emergency support —you’ll have access to immediate help during high-craving and other challenging moments through the app’s Emergency Button.
3. Managing triggers—you’ll learn advanced strategies to handle social pressures and personal triggers.
4. Lifestyle adjustments—you’ll adopt healthier habits and adjustments that support a nicotine-free life.
5. Personal growth—you’ll continue personal growth through self-assessment and setting new wellness goals.

What exactly does the program involve?

The program involves your daily participation in pre-recorded audio activities, which in their essence are counselor-guided behavioral therapy sessions. The daily Quit Guru program audio sessions require program participants to:

• indicate changes in their moods and cravings
• attentively follow the program’s instructions
• when asked to, take time to reflect on their situation honestly

What kind of topics are covered by the program?

The Quit Guru program provides pre-recorded online cognitive behavioral therapy sessions on a specific set of quit smoking topics that help you:

• Understand how you got yourself into the nicotine pitfall
• Learn why you keep on smoking
• Deal with your physical nicotine addiction
• Deal with your psychological dependence on smoking
• Acknowledge your addictive behaviors
• Break your unique smoking rituals
• Manage stress and anxiety
• Project your life after quitting
• Find your own lasting motivations for quitting
• Remove the fear of “giving up” smoking
• Avoid failure and future relapses
• Quit smoking for good

What if I miss a daily program session during the quitting phase?

Taking part in the Quit Guru program is fun, nearly effortless, and only takes up to 20 minutes a day.

While your daily participation is crucial for maximum benefit, we understand that life can sometimes interfere with your daily routine. We designed the program with your convenience in mind, allowing you to catch up at any suitable time.

However, we highly discourage frequent program session skipping as it radically reduces the effectiveness of the gradual learning process built into the program structure.

How do I know the program will work for me?

We’ve built the program to help you understand the root causes of your addiction, equipping you with essential tools and motivation to take the final step. When you are well-prepared, the decision to quit feels exceptionally easy—you know how addiction works and no longer have a psychological attachment to nicotine use. This approach is successful even for those who initially think they're not ready to quit.

On top of that, the success of our approach is reflected in our customer satisfaction: fewer than 3% of the program participants have requested refunds under our flexible "quit or get your money back" guarantee. Our low refund rate speaks volumes about the effectiveness and reliability of our program.

Can Quit Guru help with quitting vaping and other nicotine products?

Absolutely. Quit Guru’s approach works with all forms of nicotine use, whether it involves smoking cigarettes, vaping, or using smokeless tobacco products. The core principles of identifying triggers, managing cravings, and replacing unhealthy habits with positive ones remain effective regardless if you smoke, vape, chew, or snuff products that contain nicotine.

Does the Quit Guru program use nicotine replacements or medications?

No, our program focuses solely on behavioral therapies to combat nicotine addiction. We do not use nicotine replacement therapies (NRTs) or prescription medications. Our goal is to equip you with the mental tools and coping strategies necessary to overcome addiction without substituting one dependency for another.

What happens after completing the quitting phase of the Quit Guru program?

If you honestly follow the program’s instructions and make sure to take part in the program sessions daily, quitting becomes a piece of cake by the end of the program. You also carry forward a comprehensive set of skills and insights that will empower you to remain nicotine-free.

On top of that, you get to access and use our post-quitting support program to make sure you stay on track after quitting. This involves follow-up therapy sessions, stress and anxiety management practices, a dedicated emergency button to help you deal with sudden challenging situations, as well as ongoing access to various other practical tools and materials.

What if I am not satisfied with the Quit Guru program?

We stand behind the effectiveness of our program with our unprecedented customer satisfaction guarantee. If you complete the program in full and decide it hasn’t helped you quit, just let our refund team know and we’ll fully refund you. This policy is part of our long-standing commitment to ensure that all Quit Guru program participants feel supported and satisfied with their investment in a nicotine-free life.
