Yep I agree it is mostly mental. The physical withdrawal from nicotine is so slight that most people don’t notice it - the author mentions that it HAS to be this way, since most people go 8-10 hour each day not smoking, and they aren’t awakened in the middle of the night, etc.
I’ve always been one that could quit using willpower, but I would always go back to it days, weeks, months, or even a year later. This book helped me removed the urge to smoke. I’ve already forgotten that I was a pack and a half a day smoker up til the weekend
I struggled with the habit of it- triggers- meal, coffee, wine…. It took me years to no longer think of a cigarette at those times. I used patches and acupuncture. If you can get passed the urge which usually only lasts a minute or two you are well on your way. I love not stinking like an ashtray especially in winter. It’s been 19 years next month for me. Perfume or cologne is not a mask. Your lungs and teeth will recover. Keep quitting!
I quit seventeen years ago. Tough at first, but I don't miss it. The weird part is that I occasionally dream that I'm smoking, and really enjoy it. I've never once wanted a cigarette when I wake up though.
Smoked for 25 years. Substituted with water. Quit, and only had to focus for about 7 days. Haven’t had a smoke for over five years now. I HATE the smell of smoke, now, much to my still-smoking husband’s chagrin. Changing the habit itself and why you have it, is the key, not the cigarettes themselves, imho.
The one thing I hope the book mentions, is to be aware of the Addict Dreams. These took me by surprise. It wasn’t until an ex-heroin-addict told me about them, after I had one, that I recognized their significance. When you “win” those dreams, that means your subconscious no longer considers you a smoker.
The 12 month success rate for participants are 95%. I read this book four or five years ago, and quit effortlessly. I fell into the trap of cigars, which led me back to cigarettes as heavy as ever. I read this book in one day, and quit that same night. No withdrawals, no urges. It sounds crazy, but I think this is the only way to quit.
It works by removing the urge to smoke. If I can do it, you can do it!
It’s hard to say, outside of the fact that the book helps remove the urge to smoke. It’s a matter of quitting smoking and feeling like you’re missing out on smoking, versus not ever missing it whatsoever. It was like magic for the the first time I quit, because I quit a full year before ever know about this book. Every day was a struggle because I still wanted to smoke. This book took that feelings of wanting to smoke away from me, so it’s not difficult to not smoke.
This book worked for me 15 years ago. I was a pack a day smoker and had been at it for 15 years. I’ve never smoked since and have had zero desire to smoke since then. I’d just as soon eat a skunk sandwich. I thank God for Mr. Carr and praise God for releasing me from the death sentence of smoking.
Amen- plus you have an advantage of understanding addiction. I have an elevated sense of compassion for addicts because when things grab ahold of you like drugs and alcohol it takes more than will to quit.
My TV is only used for watching videos from bitchute and rumble. Haven't even played a video game in over a year. All the game stations are in a box, tucked away.
Same. This book helped me too, years ago. Can't explain how it worked. No withdrawal symptoms whatsoever. Be careful though. Works well only for the first time. Don't pick up smoking again.
Oh my gosh! Congratulations. I used to buy copies of this book to give out. Unfortunately, none of the people I gave the books to ever stopped. I don't even know if they read it, but I got the idea from a friend who had stopped by using the book. I found that amazing! So glad for you, fren.
I got really frustrated during my quitting process at my own lack of resolve. When did I become so weak willed? So gol darn it I did it. I quit! I try to tap that resolve now to get myself going sometimes. Get the fuck out of bed, go do the physical challenge I have waiting for me outside when it’s cold! I never wanna be weak like that again. Good on you too, for quitting. It’s a nasty habit.
Here's what I do. I quit smoking numerous times cold turkey, so take it how you will:
When you stop smoking and you feel the emotions of it, try to keep to yourself for 24 hours. For me, once I am over that 24 hours, I don't feel the cravings as intensely, and I haven't lashed out at any one for not having one.
yea I'm reading through all these comments like, "so we're just gonna breeze past that Ellen quote"... figuring she's DS and this sounds like a subliminal thought alteration book I wonder what else is in it.
I smoked since I was 8yrs old and quit for almost 6 years, when still in the military, until I went to Dyess AFB as my last enlistment. "Leaders" there pissed me off so bad it was either start throwin haymakers or calm down with a cigarette. Seeing as I had 20 years in at the time, the cig won out....didnt wanna throw out a squeaky-clean honorable career over a patch of f'kin idiots.
After 24yrs, I retired in 2012 and, unfortunately, am still smoking. I know I need to quit but still working in a high stress job as a DoD contractor. There's still a few asses I wanna kick and a "f-you, I'm out for a smoke" calms me down enough I can go back and endure more BS.
I dunno, if anyone has anything else I could do besides a smoke to calm down, while at work and in 5-10 minutes....I'm all ears.
The nicotine makes you think you are experiencing more stress than you are. As the levels deplete your blood pressure begins to rise. With that comes stress/anxiety until you can smoke and raise the nicotine levels to your blood/organs and decrease your blood pressure. You are physically addicted. I marvel at how I never stress out anymore like I did when I smoked. I quit by using nicotine patches and followed the directions exactly. I struggled with the physical reaction to not smoking which is why I wasn’t successful before. So find what works; some have used vaping. Just do it.
I no longer eat shit food, drink beer or smoke tobacco. I feel like I have my life back. They lied to us all and enslaved us in vice and poison. Joe Camel and Spud Mackenzie was a total fucking psyop on an entire generation. Anointing oil literally saved my life. The same oil that D.A.R.E. told me would make me a criminal, deviant and most likely a fried egg.
I quit years ago by simply switching to vaping, and over a period of weeks, kept lowering the nicotine in the vape juice until it was zero, then one day I just said, "Fuck it" and never looked back.
I’ve “quit” smoking dozens of times in the past, but always went back to it. This book removes the smokers’ urge to smoke. If there’s no urge or craving, then it’s easy not to smoke. That’s the key difference
The truth is that yes nicotine is very addictive but it’s also easy to quit it’s metabolized quickly. Allen points out that all we know of smoking is a lie- it’s not enjoyable in any way, we’ve been brainwashed (a lot easier to appreciate now that we’ve seen the brainwashing of Covid and vaccines and all the other junk) into thinking we like it but it’s only that we are battling the withdrawal symptoms of nicotine that happened within minutes of finishing a cigarette. It’s that nagging feeling of almost like hunger, that’s what nicotine does it has you in constant anxiety to be relieved. Like hitting yourself with a hammer only to enjoy how good it feels when you stop. People who don’t smoke and never did smoke cannot understand that feeling. Smoking isn’t enjoyable- smoking relieves the anxious nagging feeling being addicted to nicotine creates. That’s it. I always marveled at people that I worked with, how the non smokers didn’t Need cigarette breaks. I was practically pulling my hair out by the time I got my break. Well I quickly realized after I quit that they didn’t feel like I did at all. The had no reason to relieve an anxiety that they weren’t experiencing.

The author recommends that you continue to smoke as you read the book, and that helps a lot.
It felt like magic the first time for me, because I was waiting for “something” and it never came. It was just that I crumpled up my last pack of smokes and that was it.
So glad to hear that you’ve read it and made the conscious decision to be a non-smoker! I am still a non-smoker since I made this post, and I’ve had temptations from that little nicotine monster. But every time I get one, I know that it’s just dying little by little.
I agree that the book is not written well, and the author even tells us that at the beginning of it. I think what really drove home the messaging for me, was how he related heroin users to smokers. Heroin junkies aren’t addicted to the needle, they’re addicted to heroin - the needle is just the delivery device. In the same manner with smoking, the cigarette is just the delivery device for nicotine. That clicked for me.
I learned just last week that I can go running. I’ve been a smoker for 20+ years, so I’ve always avoided running. But I was able to go running for several miles, and it was the first time that my legs gave out well before my lungs. I wouldn’t make it a quarter of a mile before I was wheezing and coughing as a smoker. I’m less stressed at work because I’m not jonesing for a smoke break. I feel so free and alive, and I don’t ever want to go back to smoking.
Keep your focus and determination. Re-read some of the book if you’re feeling tempted. Awesome things are coming you’re way - make sure you take full advantage of them
Yes, that's exactly how I did it. Also long walks helped. Day after day I would become happier and happier , freer and freer. I amazed myself when I saw victory.
Excellent. You could have a career as a smoking cessation specialist!

Congrats on quitting!
Didn't see your post when I posted about still dreaming about having a smoke now and then. I don't crave it all, even after those dreams.
Probably not for everyone, but I work outside, so I don't get that heavy lung feeling.

#3 is tossing your TV forever
My TV is only used for watching videos from bitchute and rumble. Haven't even played a video game in over a year. All the game stations are in a box, tucked away.
awesome! I really just had to decide that sports are worthless, Rush knew, even though he too loved the NFL
Starting my 7th year without one, never going back
Keep brains healthy, NO TV!
100% this worked for me 20 years ago.
After trying everything else that failed.
This oddly worked.
I have smoked off and on for almost 30 years. Quit several times and keep going back to it.
Just ordered the book will let ya'll know how it goes.
Awesome, I pray it works for you the same way it’s worked for me and many millions like us
Congratulations, fren. This is quite an accomplishment. You should be proud of yourself. 😊
Same. This book helped me too, years ago. Can't explain how it worked. No withdrawal symptoms whatsoever. Be careful though. Works well only for the first time. Don't pick up smoking again.

10 years after quitting I'm still sucking on mints.
Congratulations Anon it is a fantastic book. Read it myself maybe 17 years ago and have not wanted one since or missed them one bit.
Helped me stop after many failed attempts. For me, this book showed I was playing games with myself by not stopping.

Saying no after that has always been pretty easy.
I mean heck, if Ellen Degenerates recommends it, it's gotta be good.
Ellen rapes kids
yea I'm reading through all these comments like, "so we're just gonna breeze past that Ellen quote"... figuring she's DS and this sounds like a subliminal thought alteration book I wonder what else is in it.
Ha I know…I guess it helps pedos and lizard people quit nicotine just like the rest of us

I started vaping and eating cannabis/RSO.

Tell us what it was that convinced you?? Self talk, thinking of horrors? What??
