Summary: the best method ever!
Review: Allen Carr's books on stopping smoking are hands down the best method ever no matter how many ways you've tried in the past. The absolute best thing about this is the fact that you don't give up anything at all!! If you are a die hard smoker......... this is for you! But, I'll warn you......... don't read the first couple of pages and think its nuts. Keep reading, read the entire book and enjoy your cigarettes while you read! The only thing I can say about these books....... amazing!!! Buy several and pass them on to friends or family. You'll wish you'd found these years ago!

Review: I didn't want to quit. I needed to quit. I bought the book and because I didn't want to quit I put it away until the cough was, quite simply, embarrassing. Then I thought, with this huge tug-of-war going on (I don't want to quit but I must quit for my health!), let's see if it's as easy as he says it is.

He deals first with the fear. I NEVER even tried to quit using 'willpower' before because of the fear. I was just too terrified of losing my friend, my companion, and all my coffee/cigarette rituals. He immediately acknowledged that we all think like that. But in fact we have invented these rituals as ceremonies for our next "hit".

He points out that we don't feel normal any more unless we're smoking because we are drug addicts and in a constant state of withdrawal that makes us feel empty and insecure and which can only be cured by another 'hit'. That nicotine, far from relaxing us in reality, actually makes us anxious because of what it does to the nervous system over time. But the 'hit' creates the illusion of relaxation because it's so much better than the feelings during withdrawal!

He points out a lot more and does it gently, rationally, entertainingly and never ONCE tries to scare us. And by the time I had finished the book I really was ready to jump to the other side of that proverbial line and say, "Yippee! I'm a non-smoker!"

This is key: you're supposed to smoke the whole time you read the book. So I'm sure a lot of people read really slooooowly. That's not a bad thing, that's a good thing. This is a book you want to literally live with for a few days, focus on it, re-read it again if you need to, and let it really sink in so it can change your thinking.

I am so thrilled about this method I called the UK clinic to see what it took to open one of Allen Carr's clinics in the US. I've researched and read a lot of other methods that emphasize the white-knuckling most people go through. This has got to be the BEST method on the market. Allen Carr does a number on your brain - he de-brainwashes you so you simply don't feel deprived when you quit and that means no white-knuckling!

This book is for women - he has others. Read one of them! This method works!

Summary: It really does work!
Review: I was one of these smokers that began socially smoking only to find myself hooked and not being able to quit which left me feeling extremely frustrated and angry. I tried lots of different methods (nicotine replacement therapy, cutting down, willpower) but everytime I would go back to smoking, feeling deflated and a failure.

A friend of mine then suggested this book. At first I thought "reading a book is going to be useless" but I was proved wrong. The book makes you see cigarettes in a different way so that you no longer feel dependent on them. It's like having a map to a maze so you can escape and I've not looked back.

I would highly recommend this book to anybody who wants to stop smoking.
