Allen Carr's Easy way to quit smoking

Yodifer

Has anyone had success with this book? I ordered it from amazon and it arrived yesterday. I am planning on reading it tonight. I read the reviews on amazon and it seems great but I am skeptical.

I haven't. I just smoked my last one and then have been using an e-cig occasionally.

Today is 10 days smoke free for me.

Good luck. :flowerforyou:

Anything that helps you is great. My experience has been that anyone can quit if they really want to.....anyone. Yes there are rough moments but once you make that decision honestly it will be doable. Eliminate the things that you KNOW are your triggers even if its certain people for awhile until you are through the initial phases and firmly commited to staying a non-smoker.

Yeah I read it when I was... don't know, 19 or something, after a few years of smoking (quite heavily - hey, I'm German, it's legal to smoke at 16 and everyone here smokes!) and quit quite easily. I relapsed a little bit when I had a period of partying in uni (woohooo!) but quit for good a little later. Been off for... 5 or 6 years now.

I never had enough time to become a long term smoker, but the book really helped me understand how pointless smoking is. I think that's where I read something like "being addicted to nicotine and then having a smoke to satisfy your cravings is like banging your head because it feels so good when you stop" - that stuck.

Give it a go, if you don't question things too much it can be really helpful!
