    I just finished this book in about 3 days after being recommended it here on the forum and found it incredible. I highly recommend it as well to recent or soon to be non smokers. Even those with more days under their belt will likely benefit. It is amazing because even as I read and new it is clearly using techniques brainwashing, he is using them for good. I likened it to a braincleansing, as we have a number of murky thoughts instilled which need to be scrubbed of we want a happy and easy post nicotine life.

     

    As smokers, and even now that we are free, we are all subject to the brainwashing propaganda of the tobacco companies and public conception of smoking. We build up all of these intuitions and concepts of smoking which are not true. they are all just lies to help pull you into a world and keep you there.

     

    Alan Carr recognizes that the most powerful force behind a quit isn't "willpower" or tolerance to physical withdrawals, it's perception,attitude. Throughout the book he breaks down ideas I was unaware I was holding onto as false truths, and in there place builds up a framework that transitioning back to being a non-smoker (we all were once) is an easy, pleasurable and exciting thing. We're not giving something up, we're gaining a better life in so any ways.

     

    As you can tell, I'm a huge fan, but I want to know what you all think? Anyone else read all or part of easyway? What are your thoughts. Anyone curious have any questions? Let's hear it!

    First of all, welcome to you all and I hope you get comfortable here quickly. We are all seeking the same thing, to beat this terrible addiction.

     

    Please note, especially for those with "young quits", that we do have an SOS page here. You'll see it at the top of the main board page. Read the pinned intro there please (it's short and to the point). You'll also see a pinned thread called "Pre Respond to Your Own SOS". I would recommend that you post something up there that you can quickly go to and read should you ever have a moment of overwhelming urge to smoke.

     

    My recommendation would be to make your post long enough that it takes you a while to read it. Enough time for the urge to die down a little and have some content in there that will be compelling to you. Doesn't have to mean anything to anyone else - only you.

     

    Hopefully, you never have to use this but, it's there to help save your quit :)

     

    thanks,

    R.

    Good advice for you Newbies x

  8. I was told by a smoker yesterday , a packet of her Cigarettes cost her £ 13 70 pence .

    This is crazy money ..

     So I agree that amount of money each day would pay for a great holiday 

    But 

    Being on a ship for 37 days ..

    Thirty of those days I would have my head down the Loo ..lol..

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
