Have been a 20 pack a day smoker
For nearly 40 years and stopped cold turkey
On Monday
So have made it 4 days without a smoke
Feel like I am going crazy
And don't want to go near a shop for a while
Until I feel safe to avoid the impulse to buy
A packet
Not easy that's for sure
Solved! Go to Solution.

I'm glad you were able to get hold of it Soul. Now I will pass on my copy to my brother and I hope he will try again. I know he wants to but he smokes more than anyone I have ever known (except for me maybe).

With money I save in the first week, I plan on buying one of those beautiful but quite expensive candles so my home will smell devine (and hopefully I will smell much better too hahaha).
Soul you can smoke whilst you are reading the book and I reckon I got to the half way point and kept wondering when Alan would actually write "stop smoking"..well he never does and believe me that not too many pages later I realised I didn`t want to smoke anymore and I ceased then and there...magic...and success!!I hope the book get`s into your mind and YOU realise how easy it is to stop Soul!!

I hope it works for him joono.
I think there comes a time when you just know you don't want to smoke anymore and I think you're only successful if it's your own decsion, not someone else wanting you to.
I'm really excited hehehehe weird I know !

A hint....take your time reading the book,read it all as he tends to repeat alot of things and you might start to skip it or get bored..perservere and even if you only read 1 chapter a night that`s good going....let his words sink in...
got everything crossed for you....Soul

Okay, I'll take your advice nics. I'm a quick reader, so I'll alternate between this book and a novel.
