Easy way to stop smoking.....

slinky · 18-10-2007, 10:32

Well I have quit smoking now!! and I feel very good about myself for it.

I have the help of Allen Carr's - Easy way to stop smoking book and I finished it last night. I had my last ciggie at 9pm and I will never ever have another!!

This book is fantastic. I can't explain how!! ( which is very weird ) but believe me, it is.

Have you ever read it?? or are you interested in giving up smoking?? (( well the latter question is silly really, every smoker wants to give up smoking, who wants to fill themselves with poisonous gases, that slowly kills them))

Please give this book a try!! I promise you will see smoking differently ( a hell of a lot differently ) and if it can help me, it can help anyone....

Please please give it a go!! you will be very surprised, I was and still am.

Try the book margaret!! it isn't about willpower, it's about the way we train our brain!!

Allen carr was a 60 to 100 a day ciggie smoker!! and he stopped .... just like that ..... and with how he explains it all, it is possible. He said the worst way to stop smoking is to cut down, bit by bit, because all day everyday, you are just waiting for that special CIGGIE. And it becomes to control your life!! That is what this book is all about, how to make it stop controlling your mind!!

It's worth a go margaret!! Even if after you have read his book, you can't just give up, you have nothing to lose!!

One of the things it says is don't stop until you have finished the book. I read Chapter 2 about 3 years ago and not got any further, therefore I haven't stopped smoking yet

Yes it does say " don't stop smoking til after the book " although by half way through the book, I didn't want to smoke. So the bit where he tells you to light one up, I didn't because i just really really didn't want to have a ciggie any more!!

My friend only read half of it!! whats the point in that?? lol

I don't know how it works HR!! I am still quite spooked

..... Today has been ace. Usually when I give up, I can't get the thought of a ciggie out of my head.
Yes today I have had the odd " Oh I would have had a ciggie now " like after a meal but, it hasn't been the normal " OMG I need a ciggie, right now "

I would tell any body to give it a go!! I don't know how it works, but as long as it is, I don't care

You want to save some money each week Slinky and treat yourself. If you don't it will just disappear into the housekeeping money.

Must admit when I first read this thread I thought the comedian allan carr from the friday night project had written the book

MargaretR · 18-10-2007, 19:17

I think it may involve a type of self hypnosis. Many years ago I had anti smoking hypnosis with a practitioner - but the effects only lasted 2 days.
Dont pass that book on yet - you might need to read it again
