For me personally educating myself on what to expect on my quitting journey has helped me allot. I still find myself listening to the Alan Carr CD on the way to work.
Hey lets face it knowledge is our advantage over the beasts as humans, without our brains why would we even consider quitting? Its a leap of faith to just quit without a bit of understanding. Or why else would we join forums? to vent our spleen? well maybe.The troubles we have seen on this forum have been horrendous, we should be all together in our quits. it isnt easy, its dam hard if we are honest. so maybe im taking a leap of faith in humanity. could we just start over?????? xxx :confused:
Darkside must have been down for essential maintenance last night as well??
This is exactly what i mean. Why..........................
Its these little comments that there is just no need for. As far as i know the other forum is working perfectly well but i have choosen to come here and post. Until NSD tells me I cant I will continue.
Reading AC did me the world of good. It changed my whole perspective in a matter of days.
Reading up on sites like WhyQuit also helped but ultimately it was AC's book that did it for me.
However, I have had a bit of a rocky ride lately in that I get some strong 'thoughts'...reminiscing thoughts mostly...:confused: but I have to say that, yes, education HAS helped me this time round. Quite alot actually.
Do you think that educating yourself about what smoking does to you has been a big help in your quit.
Hell yes. More important than any other factor in my opinion. Whether it was Neil Casey, Joel Spitzer (from whyquit) or others such as truthwillout.co.uk. I would champion it to anyone wanting to quit without a doubt.
