Hi, has anyone read this book.

Allen Carr The only way to stop smoking permanently..?

My friends mum passed this book over to me as she stopped smoking 3 years ago with it and has never craved a cigarette again.

Its not one of the scare tactic's books its really good!

Not got the the end yet far from it but am wondering if anyone else has read it and stopped smoking..?

Fab book which helped many people I know give up. I went to one of his sessions too a few years ago.

The book alone won't make you a non-smoker, you have to want to give up.

I haven't smoked for about 7-8 years and woner why I made giving up so hard for myself.

Give up and don't be obsessed with wanting a smoke. Just move on and enjoy being a non-smoker - you CAN do it! xx

I think anything is worth a try...I've tried acupuncture and hypnosis and DID give up, but piled on the weight so started smoking again...

Then, when I was 28 I got ill with a nasty chest infection, so gave up again (not being able to breathe properly helped) but again, 5 years later started again because I was sick of the weight gain.

Now, as of Mon 19th Jan, I will start week 7 suffering from pneumonia, have a chest x ray at the hosp to compare the last bad one, and will probably get my 6th course of antibiotics tomorrow too. So, I gave up smoking again over 4 weeks ago, now, because I know what makes me start again, AND I know the WW diet so much better, I am so determined to do it this time...I have 2 or 3 ice lollies each evening as a treat when I want a cigarette...

I was told if I don't give up the cigs, they will finish me off and win...scary thought

Good luck to anyone who is trying to give up, and congrats to those that succeeded, I consider myself always to be a very serious smoker who thoroughly enjoyed them but knew the long term effects, so I know this has to be it now, my lungs are more than likely damaged now because they are struggling to kill the infection (they actually might admit me this week for IV antibiotics)

Hi, my partner stopped smoking with the help of this book, he swears by it! He has given the book to his brother who then passed it on to another brother who then passed it to one of his mates and they all gave up ( and are still not smoking) I believe the book is still in circulation!
My partner got himself another copy and if he feels tempted he starts to read it again.

Yes both my husband and I stopped 6 years ago using this book.

I was an extremely heavy smoker and had smoked for 26 years thinking I would never give up.

I gave up after reading this book....unfortunately it was only for 8 months..

Its a great book and i smoked while i was reading the book (as it tells you too) and i was half way through and couldn't wait to finish the book so i could smoke my last ***...it worked for me, but my will power around other smokers was week so 8 months later i smoked again and within 2 weeks was hooked and back on 20 a day...what an idiot

I stopped for 3 years then started again..... hvnt read the book though and i think u have really got to want to give up to do it....

If you are in the right mind set you can give up with anything...

Its great to hear diff opinions on it!

So scarey as i know what its doing to me, my father also died from c.o.p.d amoungst other things and he was a heavy smoker but still i light up!

I'm trying to get in the right frame of mind and hope the reading of the book will distract me away from thinking to much about it if ya know what i mean.
