33 year smoker here. I'm now done

After 33 years and not a day without, I'm finally done. Granted, I'm on day 3 but no matter what kind of cravings I get I know I'll never smoke again.
Please, don't delay. Even if your only considering quitting soon as I was... when I started listening to this book I thought the guy was whacked to be honest. Quitting smoking FUN AND EASY? ENJOYABLE? Ya right, dude, throw in a bridge and some snake oil whlle your at it.

But who can argue with success. I'm no different then you when it comes to smoking. Our habits may vary but we are both addicted to nicotine. If I can do it after smoking since 12, you can do it. And this is the book that did it for me.

Grateful doesn't begin to explain how much I believe in this. Give it a shot. Hey. What do you have to lose? If it doesn't work then get a refund. And what's five hours compared to how many potential years you could save of your life.

Brainwashing? sure.

Brainwashing? sure it is, but if you're a smoker your brain probably could use a good scrub.

the rules has changed!

I've had my own rules to quit smoking.. never understood what was my mistake! I thought I didn't have the will, but actually I didn't want to lose the pleasure of it. Until this guy comes to convince me that you won't lose the pleasure, but you will gain it. Sir.. you are right! life has never been this bright! thank you for saving me, my family, and even my community

So Easy It's Scary

Would you listen to The Easy Way to Stop Smoking again? Why?

Maybe. There isn't much need to listen to it again and again. Once your stop-smoking revelation happens, you'll never need to turn back.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes.

Any additional comments?

It's almost unbelievable how easy it was. Not only easy but actually uplifting and enjoyable. I immediately spread the word to my Dad and he too has quit after smoking for over 40 years.

Impressive

It's boring, it's repetitive, it's a drag, I came close to dropping it many times. I listened to that book every day for 20 minutes on my commute to work, all the while smoking and thinking it would never work.

One day it ended, the book was finished, and that was also my last cigarette. I never smoked again. It has been a year and not a craving, not one time did I think to start again.

I'm not easily impressed, but this takes the cake.

Everyone might benefit from this book

Smokers and non smokers, this is a book that tells it like it is. I smoked 50 years and was scared to death to attempt to quit again. Why? Because every time I attempted in the past I became ill and it was so difficult. When I realized it was all the things I was using, the gum, patch, lozenge ,___, _____,____, name it, to assist me in quitting, that was making me ill each time, I simply really "heard" Mr. Carr when he said (nothing bad will happen to me by quitting smoking). I believed him and after 3 times listening through, I quit. It's been 5 months now and I'm doing great. Hard to believe! I recommend you only tell those who may have skin in the game. The other's just do what you can to avoid until you have a handle on it. There are people who just can't help but try pull you back down again. Sadly. Even them asking how you're doing can trigger you. I've a list now of people I know I can't trust. Like I said it's sad but it's a real behavior we can witness in those we otherwise would believe to be really great people. Crab Potting they call it. Do what you can before hand so those around you are prepared themselves and understand they could either support you in this or wreck it. In the end it's about you and you can do this. Wishing you all the best!!!
