To All People Out There Who Want to Quit:
(And Even Those Who Simply Want to WANT To Quit)
I understand how it is, I really do. I want to try and help, even if it's something that you've heard a thousand times before. Yes, indeedy, I did have success with this book. I found out that I was pregnant with my first child on January 9, 2012. At age 24 I had been a pack-a-day smoker for almost 6 years. I enjoyed the ritual of taking some "me time" to reflect each day while enjoying a cigarette with an iced coffee. I liked smoking while driving in my car on a beautiful day. If I went out drinking for the night, I could kill a pack in a matter of a couple of hours, no problem. What I really *didn't* like was the disgusting ashtray-mouth the next morning, or, on other occasions, the feeling of panic that would set in if I only had one cigarette left, or, even worse, NONE left. If I was short on money, I'd get desperate, and try any way to get one. I also didn't like the stale taste in my mouth that would linger hours after smoking. I felt self-conscious whenever I spoke to someone really close-up, or when I kissed my boyfriend. I didn't like that when I went on vacation or went to visit someone, I would open my luggage and smell a rank ashtray smell radiating out. I'm sure these are all things you've experienced before.
What really helped me to quit for good (immediately and without regret, depression, or any *real* withdrawal problems) was the imagery in this book about the "Nicotine Monster". The idea that for the past 6 years of my life, I was carrying around this evil little parasite in my brain. He moved in to my brain and made himself comfortable the day that I smoked my first cigarette at a party my freshman year of college.
This book has changed my life. Believe me, I was very skeptical about a book helping me kick my intense addiction to nicotine. I WAS a confirmed smoker and was resigned to the fact that i would never be able to stop and probably die from an illness caused by my conscious decision to smoke. Even after a very serious health scare last year, i smoked, probably more than ever these past few months. I would intentionally schedule long flights with layovers long enough that i could exit the airport terminal and smoke a cigarette, or two, or three. That is how powerful my addition was. After numerous failed attempts, i decided that after 15 years of smoking, it was finally time. Again, i was pretty skeptical about a book being able to help me with the pain and agony of "quitting". Had it not been for the overwhelming positive reviews and the fact that this book cost less than a pack of cigarettes, i figured i had nothing to lose and everything to gain. Boy am I happy I did. The best decision i've ever made.
This book encourages you to continue to smoke while you read the book. I was so thrilled about this! I already had anxiety about quitting smoking, and that put me at ease. I read the book with an open mind. I think that is the key. Just go with it. Its like watching a movie. Suspend your disbelief. I blocked off a few hours on a sunday evening to read thru the entire book. By the time i finished the last page, not only was i completely at ease about "quitting" but i was overwhelming excited that i had finally smoked my last cigarette. It was less than an hour after i smoked my last cigarette, and I already knew that was the last cigarette i would ever smoke. Somehow i just knew.
On previous failed attempts, i would ENVY someone i saw smoking.
