Hey more4me
A friend of mine read a book that made him throw a full pack away and he has never touched them since. His girlfriend too.
I’ve messaged him asking what the book was called. He has been smoking for about 15 years so if it helped him it may help you. Will get back to you when he tells me
Good luck!
The book I bet is by Allen Carr – I know a lot of people that read his book and stopped – It isn’t magic or anything it simply takes you through the steps and educates you about how illogical smoking is. It sounds like common sense but although I didn’t stop immediately after reading the book I use a lot of what he said to help now (On my 11th week).
I stopped in July after so many attempts, the ban in the UK helped loads because you aren’t tempted by others smoking around you plus I just decided it was time, that and a bet with my g/f that she has to go skiiing if I stop. There was several times I nearly smoked in the first few weeks (mainly when I was out at a bar or party) and thankfully my smoking friends refused to give me one which I was really happy about in the morning.
I am on the gum and find it helps loads – It doesn’t stop you wanting a ciggerette but take the edge of it and stops me going crazy!! :crazy: Just use things for motivation, whether it be the fact your cough will go, you won’t have to stand out side or your mum, keep that in your mind all the time when you are tempted.
Good luck!!
