has anyone heard about the book called "Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking" ?

Question

I really want to stop smoking, I have tried several times but they have not been successful. I have tried cold turkey, patches, gum. I was told that this book is a great way to stop. A person who read it said that when her and five of her friend read it they never smoked after that. That was 15 years ago.

I want to know if anyone else has eather red the book or if they have heard of it.

thank you

First, I must tell you that I did not read the book. Second, I must tell you that you do not need a book, hypnosis, acupuncture, patch, gum, lozenge, etc. etc. etc. If you are truly ready to quit smoking, you do not need any crutch. You just need sheer determination. You need to remind yourself constantly that you are ready to quit smoking and are doing it now. No more excuses. Acknowledge the pain. Don't ignore it. Delve into it and tell yourself that your starting a bad habit has resulted in your body reacting in this way when you quit. It is normal. You can handle it. You also need to acknowledge that you honestly cannot have just one cigarette. You have to acknowledge that you are addicted and cannot have even one little cigarette or you will be back to smoking again. I smoked for 50 years and tried everything on the market to quit and kept going back to smoking within a day or two. I refused to accept the fact that I was addicted and so, kept lighting up "just one more time". I had the beginning stages of emphysema and a tumor. I made a pact with God that if the tumor were not malignant, I would quit. Well, when I was told the tumor was not malignant, I pitched the half empty pack of cigarettes. I have not touched one since and it has been over a year. I want one but I won't so much as take one drag. Cold Turkey. It's the only way to do it. Most important of all, you have to be convinced that you CAN do it. It is not that hard. We go back to smoking not because we couldn't give it up, but because we didn't WANT to give it up.
