Day 2.....Allen Carr stop smoking method....

I received this book yesterday and I had finished reading it within five or six hours. I REALLY wanted to quit and didn't want to waste another day smoking so I decided to read it as quickly as possible., I have been struggling for the past twenty years on and off smoking trying different things but all the time miserable and letting my anger spill over...because inside all i was doing was yearning for a ciggie...what a horrible way to live life ....I found this book...call it fate or whatever....

I went and bought the pack of fags thinking the idea reading a stop smoking book and stopping smoking is crazy but what did I have to lose, I was going to follow his instructions to the letter.his take on cigarettes is totally different....he doesn't scare you as we know the horror stories but we carry on.....we know the risks...they are printed on every pack but we look at it and then light up!!!!..but he basically tackles all the reasons why we make an excuse to stop and through the power of repetition, bit of hypnosis...physcology trains our subconscious to not want it anymore and see that we can deal with life without a cigarette... I forced my way through the final cigarette that Allen Carr tells you to smoke, and then threw away a half a pack of straights!!!!! I am a little irritable and by no means am I 'elated' but I am feeling much more confident......I had a fight with my brother and normally that would've been my cue to run to the shop faster than Usain Bolt and buy a pack and smoke two or three to escape! But I said what will that achieve, the fight will still have happened so address that...I said sorry to my brother...he said sorry to me....no cig smoked.,....flippin sorted!!!!!!!

It won't hypnotise you into never wanted to smoke again, but if you remind yourself of what Allen Carr says in the book every time you get the urge to smoke, the urge is not a command and it really will be easy to rationalise and bat away.....much love to you all x :)

Hello huni.....by no means am I saying is a work for all, everyone must find their own way to quit.....hence the amount of failures...what matters is to keep trying till you find your own way....the best thing is I'm not a raving lunatic...well about 30% less ;)

I agree NMCE, and I didnt mean that you were saying it should work for everyone.

If we were all the same we would need a lot of punch bags :D :D

Take care. :) xx

Dear NMCE

there is saying in our country .. which goes like this ..

The win and loss is decided by mind , if you lose the battle in mind you will lose it at ground as well for sure , but if you don’t give up and do not accept loss in mind .. it will ultimately bring victory on ground as well ..

all the best 👍
