This was literally the most important book I’ve ever read. I’d tried the patch, wellbutrin, nicorette, hypnosis, etc. during my 30 years of 1 1/2 to 2 pack-a-day smoking and hadn’t been able to quit. I finally reached the point at which I gave up as I believed I was just too weak to quit. I thought there was something wrong with me compared to the others who made it through withdrawal to quit. Then, I heard about this book while reading about a new drug: chantix. I ordered the book from amazon and made an appt. with my doc to get chantix. I began reading when I started the chantix. I finished the book in one week and found I’d completely lost my desire to smoke. I couldn’t believe it, I had no withdrawal pangs! I was actually in a better mood…I’m not kidding. People around me couldn’t believe it as I’d always been a huge b*tch when I’d quit before, but this time I was excited and happy. I took the chantix for two months, then discontinued. It’s been 6 months now and I know nothing will ever make me smoke again. I realize one could say the chantix is what aided my quitting, but I firmly believe this book is what made all of the difference. It got my head in the right space. I highly recommend this book to any smoker. I strongly suggest you doubly arm yourself and get both the book and chantix. Using this method you can’t fail.
I am entering this review to pick up an argument with those who gave the book 4, 3, or 2 stars, based on their opinions to the tune of “yes, I quit smoking, but the book is horribly written”, “…there are so many repetitions”, “…the logic is faulty at places”, and such. As if there [full article...]
I had thought about quitting (what smoker hasn’t?), but it wasn’t on the top of my ‘to do’ list. I saw this book on Amazon, read the amazing reviews, and decided I had to see if it really was that easy. Hell, it’s way cheaper than a box of Nicorette or a carton of cigarettes- [full article...]
This book is AMAZING! I started smoking when I was 13 (I turned 25 twenty days ago and quit a week before that) and have quit numerous times. Of course, as they say, “quitting is easy, it’s staying quite that’s hard.” Most of these attempts only lasted a day or two, and every time I [full article...]
