Your participant code
Justin gave you a code that looks like BO-001. It keeps your sessions linked to you without putting your name anywhere in the data.
Not in the trial? Skip this. Everything still works, your sessions just stay on your own phone.
Wellness At Hand
Breath Override
Shorter than a cigarette. Stronger than the urge.
Cigarettes, vapes, pouches, gum. One technique.
Language
Your Future You Is In Your Hands
Step 1 of 4
What are you done with?
Same technique for all of them. This tunes your tracking and wording.
Step 2 of 4
What should I call you?
Optional. The sessions feel better with a name.
Step 3 of 4
A quick health check
The full technique uses a full, calm unforced exhale and a strong whole-body contraction. Tick anything that applies to you.
No problem. You get the gentle version.
Your sessions will use the slow-breathing components only. No maximum-effort exhale, no strong contraction, no pelvic floor engagement. Still genuinely effective. Speak with your doctor before using the full technique.
One more thing
Your quick start
When a craving hits, you can skip the rating and go straight into a session. Which version should that run?
Full technique
The complete 10-step Override. Full, calm unforced exhale, Internal Embrace, the works.
Gentle version
Slow breathing only. Softer, still effective.
Step 4 of 4
Let's make it pay
Every urge you override is money back in your pocket. Set it up once, watch it climb.
Suggested: one year of what you were spending. Edit anytime.
Buy now, get more
Purchase Impulse mode, included
You just felt it work. Buy the app now and Purchase Impulse mode comes with it free, normally $19. Same engine, aimed at the itch to buy. Run an Override before you tap Buy Now, then log what it would have cost. Watch the money you did not spend stack up next to the money you are already saving.
Why it is in here. The first weeks are full of little rewards-to-self. Some are fine. Some are $140 you did not mean to spend. This catches those ones.
Before your first Override
How this works
A lot happens on screen at once the first time. Here is what you're looking at.
Rate the urge from 0 to 10 before you start. That's just so you can see your own progress later.
Tap Start. The ring in the middle breathes with you: it opens on the in-breath, closes on the out-breath.
When the anchor icon lights up top right, touch index finger to thumb on both hands. That's your anchor, hold it until it turns off.
Read the words as they change and follow the number in the ring. It's counting down the step you're on, not the whole session.
It runs 3 rounds, around 6 minutes. Stay with it to the end, even if the urge fades early.
Rate the urge again after and tell the app how it went. That's it.
As many times as it takes
Use it as often as you need to. As many times as it takes, back to back is fine. Keep going until you have overcome the craving. This is the whole point.
From Justin
In my first days off the smokes I did this method more than 35 times a day. Those first hours it was done for every single craving, one after another, over and over.
That is it working. That is the method doing exactly what it is built for. The craving turns up, you override it, and you go again when the next one comes.
They get further apart. They get weaker. And one day the gap stretches from breakfast all the way to lunch.
One thing first
The intake form
This is the one form that has to happen before you start. It is the baseline everything else gets measured against, so it only works if it is filled in now, before your first Override.
Three minutes. Your code is already filled in. It opens in a new tab, so the app stays right here.
Doing it later means the trial loses your starting point, and your results lose the thing they get compared to.
Welcome back
Override the urge. Around 6 minutes.

Enough to not act on it?
What would it have cost? Optional
The urge often is not hunger. Water, air, rest, a pause. What does your body actually need right now?
Still sitting above a 3. Worth running it once more while you're already in it.

Safety. Skip the maximum-effort exhale and full contraction if you have heart, blood pressure, eye (glaucoma or retinopathy), aneurysm or pregnancy conditions, pelvic floor issues, or recent abdominal surgery. Trauma history: use only with clinician support. Ease off if you feel light-headed. This app is a wellness tool, not medical treatment.
