Real Accountability Throughout Your Journey

Stay motivated and accelerate your commitment to quit. Post your progress, share challenges, get encouragement when you need it most. Jon is active in the community providing guidance between calls.

Build Your Own Plan - Quit at Your Pace

You don't follow a one-size-fits-all program (they rarely work). And you don't figure it out alone.

You create YOUR plan - when to start, what pace works for your life, whether you take big steps, baby steps, or both. Jon guides you through it - helping you shape a plan that actually works, avoiding the common pitfalls, and supporting you through the countless ways you can get derailed.

There are millions of ways to fail at quitting. There are proven ways to succeed. Our unique quitting community can help you find your path through it all.

Q: How do I know if the ABQ community is right for me?

A: Which of these best describes where you are with your smoking or vaping?

A

You want to quit someday, you just keep putting it off.

You feel stuck (like 99.9% of the smokers and vapers on the planet). You're scared to even try to quit. But you have this nagging feeling inside.

That's okay. Join now. Use the community and weekly calls to build your confidence and readiness. There's no pressure to quit on day one. Just show up. You'll move forward.

B

You're finally "ready to quit" and want to set a quit date

You've decided - this is it. You want support through the first days, weeks, and months. You may have no idea how to proceed, or you may be crafting a plan.

Perfect. You're in charge and we can help get some quitting time under your belt. The community gives you accountability and expert guidance exactly when you need it most.

C

You've already quit but want to make sure it lasts this time

You stopped smoking or vaping, but you're worried about going back. You need accountability to stay quit.

You're in the right place. The transformation from temporary abstinence to permanent non-smoker / non-vaper is where most people need the most support. Real transformation takes months. We will be here for you.

D

You relapsed and want to get back on track

You had some smoke-free or vape-free time, but you went back to it. You are on the "quit-relapse" treadmill and you want to get off it.

Don't let shame keep you out. This is exactly why ongoing support matters. Come back, get motivation from being in the community, fix the things that tripped you up, and start moving forward again.

Whichever you picked - the answer is the same. This community was built for exactly where you are.

If you're struggling to quit smoking or vaping on your own, joining the ABQ community is the right decision.

Full ABQ Community Membership

$97/month · 3 months, $291 paid up front

Three months is a commitment to yourself and to the process of quitting, which takes time.

After your 3 months, you can continue at $37/month if you wish. We reduce the price because we want you to stay for as long as you need to - many people need the accountability, and plenty of them simply love the community.

Your commitment to transformation is 3 months. After that, it's up to you whether you continue. Why three months?

  • 24/7 access to community support
  • Community Support Calls - usually one a week, schedule published at the start of each month
  • Access to call recordings + ability to ask questions beforehand
  • Accountability check-ins (voluntary and without shock collars 🙂)
  • Expert guidance on withdrawal, mindset, and behavior change
  • Quit at your pace - no rigid timeline to follow
  • Positive, committed community (no lurkers or trial members)
Join the Community

Just Start.

The ABQ community is an insane value. Most people spend hundreds a month on smoking or vaping - you'll save hundreds of thousands over your lifetime by quitting.

You're already spending the money. Every day you make a CHOICE to give money to companies that are making you sick. Today can be the day that you make the CHOICE to change that.

It took me nearly six years to build the courage to find a specialist and I am unbelievably grateful it was Jon. If you have reservations about investing in a coach, I cannot recommend Jon enough. The impact he has had on my life is transformative.
KatherineKatherine · One Year Vape Free
Jon's non-assuming approach and meeting me where I was at was really helpful. Having the support and the accountability - it's kind of two sides of the same coin. That was probably one of the pieces that I was missing.
KaitKait · 9 Years Sober, Now Smoke-Free
I've invited Jon to teach about tobacco treatment to my "Health Counseling" university class for 9 straight semesters. His presentations are informative, entertaining and inspiring.

Common Questions

Who can join ABQ programs and community?

This community is for people who smoke or vape and want to quit - or who recently quit and need support to stay quit.

You're welcome to join if you are:

  • Currently use tobacco, nicotine, or vaping products and want to quit
  • Recently quit but are struggling to maintain it
  • Relapsed and need support to get back on track

To maintain a focused, supportive environment, we don't allow:

  • Healthcare professionals (unless you're personally seeking help for your own tobacco/nicotine use, and inform us of it)
  • Anyone affiliated with the tobacco, nicotine, or vaping industry
  • People looking to learn our methods for their own coaching, training, or business purposes
  • Anyone misrepresenting their tobacco/nicotine use status

Why? Our community thrives when everyone is genuinely focused on their own quitting journey. This creates the judgment-free environment that helps people succeed.

Violating these requirements results in immediate removal with no refund, as outlined in our complete Terms and Conditions.

Note: If you're interested in our training methods for professional purposes, we offer separate consulting and training services. Feel free to contact us directly to discuss those options.

When do the Community Support Calls happen? What if I miss one?

Current Schedule: Community Support Calls are scheduled at the beginning of the month. There is usually one per week, sometimes more.

Please note: We try to choose different times of the day so that both US and international members have a chance to attend. We publish the schedule at the beginning of each month.

Can't make it live? All calls are recorded and available to watch later. You can also submit questions ahead of time, and Jon will answer them during the call even if you can't attend live.

Plus, you have 24/7 access to the community where you can get support, ask questions, and connect with others any time.

Why do you require three months?

Two reasons. The first is you. Quitting is a process that takes time, and the hardest stretch usually comes after the newness wears off - which is exactly when people walk away from support. Paying up front means that decision is already made, and you're still here for the part that matters most.

The second is everyone else. A three-month commitment means the people in the room are people who mean it. No lurkers, no one dipping a toe in for a week. You'll be alongside others who have made the same decision you have, and that changes what the group is worth to you.

If you'd rather not commit to three months, that's a completely reasonable answer - and a one-time $97 session with me is probably the better place to start.

How long should I stay in the community?

The short answer: as long as you need. The realistic answer: real transformation typically takes 3–6 months, especially for longer-term smokers and vapers - that's exactly why membership starts with a 3-month commitment. Let's face it: things are going to come up. If you want the best shot at quitting for life, don't focus on quitting the community. FOCUS ON QUITTING smoking or vaping for life. That is the end game. After your first 3 months, you can continue at just $37/month if you wish - and how long you stay is entirely up to you.

What's your subscription, cancellation, and refund policy?

Your membership: ABQ Community membership is one payment of $291 - $97/month for 3 months, paid up front. All 3 months are yours and the payment stands; we don't offer refunds for any reason. This isn't because we don't stand behind what we do - it's because transformation requires commitment, and an "easy out" encourages giving up exactly when things get challenging. After 3 months: your membership ends unless you choose to continue. If you want to stay, it's $37/month for as long as you like - just let me know and I'll send you the link. What we guarantee: the delivery of weekly Community Support Calls, ongoing community access, and Jon's guidance. What we can't guarantee: that you'll quit. Your success depends on factors under your control - your mindset, decisions, commitment, and how you navigate the challenges. We provide guidance, accountability, and support, but we can't execute the process for you. We think you can do this!

Is this community confidential?

No, this community is NOT confidential like a doctor's office or therapist's office.

Here's what that means:

  • Other members will see what you post in the community
  • Other members will hear what you say on Community Support Calls
  • We can't control what others remember or discuss outside the community
  • This is peer support and coaching - not medical or therapeutic care with confidentiality protections

Only share what you're comfortable with others knowing.

If you need medical care or therapy with full confidentiality protections, please seek those services from licensed healthcare professionals.

Finally become the non-smoker or non-vaper you dreamed about.

Imagine waking up breathing freely. Not thinking about when you can smoke or vape next. Not hiding it or making excuses. Not spending hundreds every month on something that's hurting you. That's what transformation looks like. You can do this.
