Ebook only, which saves chopping another tree down. Anyone can quit smoking right? Well, a lot of people will tell you its not as easy for everyone. And if you are one of them I strongly suggest you take a look at this book.
If you are ready to quit right now then go straight to Synergebooks and buy your copy. I quit smoking in April 2005. I smoked over 20 a day for 28 years. Like all smokers I argued that it was my right to smoke and despite frequent chest infections found every excuse under the sun not to quit - even when the sensible part of me was screaming to stop.
Having realised that there was no 'easy way' for me I was willing to take all the help I could get. But despite using nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) and a lot of support from an internet forum, I was still responsible to find a way, any way I could, to beat my addiction.
'Stop Smoking: Diary of a Quitter' can become a powerful tool for you in your effort to quit smoking. It is the book I would have wanted to read if it had existed at the time. It discusses what happens when you quit from day one to the end of your first year. It looks at what works and what doesn't. It discusses what quitting is really like for the majority of smokers. It explores the reason why 'will power' is not necessarily enough to beat your addiction to nicotine. And because the book is written in 'real time' you will be able to see what I was actually thinking and feeling at that moment of my quit. It can be really powerful stuff to help motivate you on your own personal journey.
Add to the mix a little bit of humour and my penchant for silly poetry and you have an entertaining book that helps you quit smoking while desperately clinging on to what little sense of humour you may have left.
There is no in depth discussion about medical diseases or chemical substances. I am not medically qualified and, quite frankly it doesn't help you quit smoking. 'Stop Smoking: Diary of a Quitter' helps you to find out what does help you quit smoking.
I feel pretty confident that buying one book is pretty cheap compared to what you burn in a week. In fact the only thing you've got to lose is a smoker's cough.
Excerpt
I stood up to stretch my legs and wandered outside. It was then that a little voice in my head said, ‘You’re on holiday. You haven’t smoked for three months and one won’t hurt Go on, you deserve it.’ I remember feeling a bit bored and restless but certainly not craving for a cigarette. For the last twelve years I would usually have filled up that moment of nothingness with a cigarette. Perhaps it was only natural that my head filled in the blanks and like an idiot (I can now state in retrospect) I succumbed to the notion and bought a packet of ten.
The transition from not smoking back to smoking was incredibly easy. The first puff spun my head so much I almost lost balance. The cigarette tasted ghastly but for some strange reason I wanted to smoke more, thinking the strangest of thoughts that, in order to appreciate the pleasure of smoking once again, I would get used to it. I took another puff and then another. It was only after I had finished that one cigarette that I considered seriously the consequences of what I had just done.
