It doesn't have to be difficult!

Today I am 30 days smoke free! No sneaking a puff here or there... nothing. Not one puff! I have tried to quit several times and this time something feels very different! I feel much more calm and excited rather than fearful and anxious! I think a big part of that is because of the book "Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking: The Easyway To Stop Smoking."

If any of you are still struggling with how you think about smoking and are afraid that you will always will struggle with wanting one, I encourage you to read this! It has honestly helped me tremendously!

That is bloomin' marvellous Griffy :D :D In fact, you are bloom' marvellous, a true winner :-)

Please, please, please do your best to remember how that calm and excited feeling feels as their may / probably will be times when you really think differently and this is when you will need to recall this feeling ;-)

You are doing fantastic and all the other past times have been s=the times that you have learnt from and are now able to use the experience for the main event :-)

Whoop - whoop to you! :D :D :D :D

30 days is an awesome achievement you should be VERY proud of yourself.There seems to be a lot of people on here who have read Allen Carr's book & quit without too much stress.I just think ANYTHING that makes the journey easier is great because it's hard enough in the first place.Keep going,I promise you've done the really hard bit (the first month is a killer I think!) It gets easier from.here on in.

Hugs
