Yep,It really,really helped.I cant recommend it enough,dont think I could have quit without it

Has anyone found that the Allen Carr books really work? I bought one today and am scared at the prospect of never smoking again. I just want to get back to being a social smoker...

How long after you finished it did you stop and how long have you been stopped for and have you been tempted since?

 

[jimmybreeze]

About two weeks,I read the book,then used patches (niquitin,I found nicorette made me feel horrible) to get out of the habit of smoking,then it was easy street from then on out.
smoked for about 7 years,bout 25 a day (I was really good at it!) quit as the smoking ban came in,and havent been tempted at all since.

Best thing I ever did.

I've been off fags ages now. It's fuckin deadly. I completely love being a non-smoker. Best of luck Weeeeeeeeein.

I had to go home on saturday because i could'nt breathe.

I cant remember the last time i enjoyed a fag. But i'm not drinking much and i'm off doobs.

Alternatives?

I'm off them three years this month from the book. Was smoking around 60 carrolls a day. Had my last fag as i finished the book, haven't smoked a thing since. I think about it now and then, would love a few spliffs truth be told, but i really don't fancy being back smoking mad amounts of fags again, and with my willpower it's never gonna be a once off.

Did you consciously say to yourself that it was going to be your last fag?

He told me last Saturday in the oak that he really misses his best mate since he moved to London. Pretty sure he said his name was Aaron too.

I know a few lads who've read the Alan Carr book and been back on them in a few months(cigarettes that is).

wow, what a co-incidene.

again, im the big spoon.

my da quit for a long time after reading that book. he's back on them now but he was off them for a long long long long time.
i must give it a read. smoking is "great" and all but its pricey and there's no positive effects for your body.

Well yeah. See the way the book works is it goes through pretty much every reason you could start smoking (except doob) and points out how it's stupid, then every reason you continue smoking, and points out how they're stupid, then points out every reason you should quit, and how they're great. It basically brainwashes you into thinking fags are shite, and at the end the second last chapter is "go outside and smoke yer last fag", then the last chapter is "woo hoo, you're a non smoker. Fuckin sweet or what". And it is, it really is. I never got withdrawals or cravings or turned into a prick (well, any more of a prick than i already am) cos i was so happy to finally be shot of 'em.

I know a few lads who've read the Alan Carr book and been back on them in a few months(cigarettes that is).

Aye, the first time i read it i got eight months off them, then back on for about three years, now off for three years. Another mate used to read it every sunday, staying off fags all week, going out getting trolleyed and waking up sunday morning with half a twenty box in his pocket. A book's a book, tis up to yourself to stay off 'em at the end of the day.

PS gay jokes are so oppressive dudes, get your heads out of the nineties.

i'm off the smokes a few days now, feels like i lost my best friend.

is this what being a non-smoker is like? emptiness, boredom and irritability? was close to 20 years as a smoker. this is not as tough as i thought it would be. still kinda sucks though.



siiiiiighhhhhhhhh.
