I didn’t want to quit. I needed to quit. I bought the book and because I didn’t want to quit I put it away until the cough was, quite simply, embarrassing. Then I thought, with this huge tug-of-war going on (I don’t want to quit but I must quit for my health!), let’s see if it’s as easy as he says it is.He deals first with the fear. I NEVER even tried to quit using ‘willpower’ before because of the fear. I was just too terrified of losing my friend, my companion, and all my coffee/cigarette rituals. He immediately acknowledged that we all think like that. But in fact we have invented these rituals as ceremonies for our next “hit”. He points out that we don’t feel normal any more unless we’re smoking because we are drug addicts and in a constant state of withdrawal that makes us feel empty and insecure and which can only be cured by another ‘hit’. That nicotine, far from relaxing us in reality, actually makes us anxious because of what it does to the nervous system over time. But the ‘hit’ creates the illusion of relaxation because it’s so much better than the feelings during withdrawal! He points out a lot more and does it gently, rationally, entertainingly and never ONCE tries to scare us. And by the time I had finished the book I really was ready to jump to the other side of that proverbial line and say, “Yippee! I’m a non-smoker!”This is key: you’re supposed to smoke the whole time you read the book. So I’m sure a lot of people read really slooooowly. That’s not a bad thing, that’s a good thing. This is a book you want to literally live with for a few days, focus on it, re-read it again if you need to, and let it really sink in so it can change your thinking. I am so thrilled about this method I called the UK clinic to see what it took to open one of Allen Carr’s clinics in the US. I’ve researched and read a lot of other methods that emphasize the white-knuckling most people go through. This has got to be the BEST method on the market. Allen Carr does a number on your brain – he de-brainwashes you so you simply don’t feel deprived when you quit and that means no white-knuckling!This book is for women – he has others. Read one of them! This method works!

Unbelievable. I was a skeptical, heavy smoker for more than 20 years, and I’ve been quit now for more than two months. I tried and did not quit with many other methods.

Allen’s way WAS EASY. I swear. I’ve NEVER written a book review before, but felt compelled to share with others. In fact, I’ve even bought four other copies for friends.

I had no withdrawals, no regrets and no cravings. I kept the ideas he said to keep in mind, and like magic, I quit and loved every moment of it. He tought me how to be and think like a non-smoker again (as we all are born). It does feel more natural.

The key? Knowing, feeling and believing (which I found out was true) that being and feeling like a non-smoker, is waaaaaaaaaaay better than how I ‘though’ smoking made me feel (good). I can’t explain any more than that, but it did change my thinking dramatically.

He takes the way we all as smokers ‘think’ about ourselves and our smoking, and turns quitting into a positive. Not the negative that most smokers who want to quit, think of it as. By the time you’re half way through the book, you are joyful at the excitement you have at how great you’re going to feel when you quit. And it just continues!

AND I DO FEEL GREAT.

HE HELPS YOU TO THINK DIFFERENTLY ABOUT QUITTING AND TAKES AWAY THE FEAR.

Go ahead, buy it. You will be elated that you did!

I had tried to quit smoking 5 times, in the 38 years I was an addict. My sister bought me this book, which I let sit on a shelf in my house for six months…I was afraid that if I read it, I would actually quit, and I just couldn’t imagine life without cigarettes…

This book did it for me. It was easy to read, and I can tell you that it will work for anyone who reads it, follows the instructions, and understands what is being taught.

I do not crave cigarettes at all. Every time I had quit in the past, I would drink alcohol, and just HAVE to have a cigarette!

Not this time…I had three drinks the night I quit, and have had several more since then…the feeling of power and confidence is exhilarating, at the very least.

I will never smoke again, and I am loving every minute of it. If you get this book, and read it, as a smoker, you will be able to do the same thing…easily.

I smoked 2-3 packs a day of menthols and tried the pills and hypnosis but neither worked. Read this book in less then 2 hours and haven’t smoked since! That was over 7 years now and saved thousands of dollars not to mention smelling like a dirty ashtray. Please try this book before you blow money on useless treatments like I did. Good luck!

I used this book years ago to quit smoking (successfully now, for 20+ years). Besides the very good advice about how to quit smoking, I especially like the pages in the back where you list your reasons for quitting. You can use this technique for quitting anything, so this book is very handy as a diet book if you want to lose weight. Just keep going back to your list of reasons for losing weight, e.g. health, blood pressure, get into small size jeans, etc. , and you will find it easier to modify your behaviour. The book is small enough to carry in your pocket, like a pack of cigs. Keep re-reading page 109, and your list of reasons, and it will help you quit any bad habits you truly want to change.
