    Stop Smoking Paul McKenna - read the book, listened to CD - woke up the next morning a non smoker - that was 14 April 2001 - only craved cigs 3 times since then but never enough to actually have one - best thing I ever did! Didn't subsistute cigs for food either :)

    Cold turkey-ish about 2 years ago :happy:

    I had quit in the past again cold turkey. I remember I was in my final month of my Masters' degree and I was writing up my Dissertation. For some reason I looked at the cigarette and said.. "I don't need you" and didn't smoke for the next two years. A bad moment and there I was looking for a cigarette. I smoked one, then the second one and before I knew it I was back to smoking.
    My fiance was also a smoker at the time so quitting was not an option... most of our friends were smoking as well. :grumble:

    In March 2010 I had a very bad cough and found it ridiculous to smoke and complain about the cough at the same tim :huh:
    So I just stopped smoking for a couple of days, then weeks, months :wink:

    My fiance stopped as well last September, through Alan Carr and he's been clean ever since!


    Good luck to anybody's who's trying to quit... :flowerforyou:

    And remember... if you really WANT to quit you will (either cold turkey or by attending seminars, reading books... you will find the way because you want to)... if you DON'T WANT to quit you'll just wont quit!
    It's really up to you!

    I quit 26 yrs. ago. I gradually quit. The way i did it was, i kept a pen and paper next to my pack of ciggarettes and every time i lit a ciggarette, i kept a count of how many i smoked each day for a while and each day i smoked one less than the day before till i was down to not smoking much and then one day after counting cigarette for a few days i picked up my cigarettes, lighter, and ashtrays all and threw them in the creek in my backyard and watched them float away.
