I was smoker for 9 years - I thought I enjoyed smoking, I can't live without it, etc. A friend recommended a book - Alan Carr's Easy Way. Tried quitting before and it never worked. After reading the book it didn't feel hard, it just made sense. Recommended the book to 2 friends who also quit. Give it a try.
- bbarn 9y agoGood book, but a little on the repetitive side. It didn't do it for me, but I think that's because a lot of the points he makes are things I already thought of constantly.
- pigeons 9y agoThe repetition seemed like some form of deliberate hypnosis. I would read the repetitive parts and my mind would start to criticize how it could be so poorly written, and by the end of the book I had quit smoking after over 10 years and not even thinking I would ever even want to quit when I started the book. (and still quit after 10 more years)

- ambivalents 9y agoI would also recommend this author's "Easy Way" book for quitting drinking, if that's something you're interested in. I read the book over the course of 2 days, and in that time experienced a complete paradigm shift wherein alcohol suddenly lost all appeal to me. Before then I knew drinking was causing me more harm than good, and I knew the deleterious effects of consuming it, yet I never felt compelled to do anything about it. After reading the book, drinking alcohol just didn't make sense to me anymore.
