I'm desperatly trying to stop smoking, and It's hard. I was looking thru Amazon.com and found this book :Stop Smoking with Allen Carr. All the reviews were 5 stars and said that it helped them tremendously. I was just wondering if this helped anyone or if and one was not helped by this...

YES!!!!!!!!!!!! geititgetitgetit! In September of '03 I was told to quit smoking or quit breathing--I bought the book and have been smoke free since February '04--that's 920 days! Believe me, I did not want to quit, but I didn't want to carry an oxygen tank around with me, either. I still get tempted occasionally, but 920 days!!!! I don't want to start counting again! Good luck to you. It can be done.

Actually, I've heard RAVES about that book and has worked for some people I know .. I think you should go for it .. what's it cost - the equivalent of a coupla packs of smokes.. DO IT!
on an aside, my own perosonal technique involves filling a small jar with the contents of the ashtray and adding some water. Seal and shake. Then, when the craving hits you - open the jar and take a good whiff of the putrid, festering damp butts - not only does it remind you just how disgusting smoking is, but also gives you something of a "nic - hit"... worked for me!
good luck!

Never read it, but then I would probably smoke while reading it. I am getting hypnotized on Aug. 29 to stop. Comes with a lifetime warranty. Figure that it will not hurt and I'll recoup my loss of monies I spend in about 4 months.

Allan Carr is very good. I was smoking 100 cigarettes a day and stopped with the help of his book. I haven't smoked now for 5 years.
Best of luck.

Quitting smoking is really hard. If you really want to quit it will work if you don't then it won't. I tried to quit several times with several methods and none of them worked I am still trying...it is all in the mind....and right now i just can't get it done...hope you have a stronger will than me.....

Keep up the good work...if you're desperate you'll do it!! Just don't give up...Don't know about the book...I quit with a program developed by the Mormon Church (Really) and I haven't smoked now for a year and a half. Hang in there...it IS hard.

Don't know the book but hope you'll go for it!! I quit 30 years ago, did 3 packs a day, best thing I ever did in my life. Also the hardest but well worth the effort.. Good luck, and if it doesn't work this time, try again!! Don't ever give up trying...

A friend of mine read it and effortlessly, immediately stopped smoking.
I read it and thought, "I don't get it", and went smoking merrily away.
That's one for two.

Trying to stop smoking is very difficult, but it can be done. There is no single method that works, and often the most successful strategy is to combine approaches. You may try to stop and fail, but don't let that discourage you. Many people have to try many times before they finally quit smoking. Several things may need to be addressed: 1) Motivation. Keep reminding yourself why you want to quit. Every day. 2) Craving. Start off with a combination of nicotine patches or gum along with decreasing the rate of your smoking. Eventually supplant your smoking completely with the gum (it tastes bad, I know, so chew it along with a regular gum). 3) Exercise. Regularity of exercise is key to good metal health even if you are not trying to quit. This will help with your energy level, decrease craving and irritiability, and make you feel better. It will also remind you of what smoking has done to your body, but you will get better as you exercise regularly. If you're out of shape, start off with long walks (~1 hour) with a friend or companion around the neighborhood or the mall. Take the stairs! 4) Support. Find a support group. This is key. 5) Find a hobby that is NON-STRESSFUL. GOOD LUCK!!!!
