Its a shame Allen Car is not alive so i can call and thank him for saving my life. Your reading these reviews like i did 3 weeks ago. And believe me its not that i didnt think it would work, but i was afraid to try it, not ready to quit but yet wish i didnt smoke. It was 10$ almost the cost of my daily pack of American Spirits. I ordered it and was quite excited when it came in the mail. I told everyone i was going to quite this time! I am 23 years old and smoked almost a pack a day for 6 years. I am a well rounded person, pretty (just saying), smart, and WAS very athletic. Over the years i have not done a single sport, nor ran any type of long distance. My body could only handle walking, and even then walking up the stairs i was out of breath. At 23?... I hated when people would say you dont look like a smoker (which i thought was always rude). I would hide smoking from people who didnt know, because in todays society it is seriously looked down apon. Sometimes smoking makes you feel like your in prison. But no matter how embarresing it is or was, I never stopped. Not my mother crying or my boyfriend of 4 years telling me that smoking was a serious deal breaker for our future. In my body i was a smoker, in my mind i wasnt. I never wanted to be a smoker. In highschool i had some friends who were smokers, and i started cigarette smoking after weed. I thought ill never get addicted to these. These taste like s*** ! But it isnt till 2 years later i tried to quite, becasue at the time my boyfriend did not want anything to do with me as a smoker. It was hard. I rushed out of the house after a night together and the first thing i tried to do was light up a cig. I would spray my car, make my friends smoke outside in the cold after getting to school instead of smoking in the car. I wanted him to believe that i didnt smoke anymore, and i wanted to believe that i didnt. But i did. That did not stop me. It made me aggravted, which is prob why we broke up. I countiued smoking, at that point they seemed even more pleasurable for the next few years. I finally met my soul mate my senior year of highschool. he was a college boy. He has never forced me to stop but i know he hates it. occasonally hell have a cig when were out drinking. I envied him. How could he not smoke but have one almost every weekend. THats what i wished for. So i tried to quite again after 3 years together. I put on the patch and said thats it! IT WASNT BAD AT ALL.... However after reading this book i realized it wasnt bad because i was still getting nicotine. After i decided i was strong enough to take it off. I would have a cig every once in a while ( THIS IS ALL IN A 3 MONTH PERIOD ) ... I was able to control myself and i thought this is nice. But i still desired them. Finally one night something pissed me off so badly that i bought a pack. I was that mad that i felt that the only thing that could make me feel better and relieve my stress after all the good ive done would be a cig? well you can guess where that ended up. Once you buy the pack you mys well finish it right! so i smoked again for another year 1/2 untill 5 days ago 14 hours and 54 minutes. This book is amazing. Its amazing because its a side to quite smoking that no other person has ever tried before. No scare tacktect! You smoke throughout the book. Which i was confused at times because he never really told you to light up .... so when you do read it ( BECAUSE YOU WILL ) Smoke as much as you want, 2 -3 cigs a chapter if you want!. This book basically debunks all of the thoughts and feelings you thought smokeing was and it reveals the real truth about smoking. Once you know the truth ( and i dont mean what it does to your body ) i mean once you no the truth about what smoking really doesnt do for you, you wont want it. One of the biggest thing the book says it that. Smoke cigerettes... the cigerttes itself contains nicotine (we all know) but did we all no that NICOTINE is the most highly addictive drug known to man kind. NICOTINE IS MORE ADDICTIVE THEN HEROIN, ALCOHOL,CRACK,.... Looking back on why i could never quit it made sense. s*** i went crazy without it. But why? its not like they taste like lobsters. If i were to be forced to eat lobsters everyday several times a day for 6 years i would hate them! i would prob kill myself. They would taste like s*** by then. But yet, we smoke cigarettes and they didnt taste good in the first place, and we have them everyday for years. why? because NICOTINE is a drug addiction. Every smokers wishes he/she never started. so take that wish and see what can come out of it. read the book. I actually read the book and had 1 chapter left, which was the "LAST CIGARETTE CHAPTER" ... i closed it had a cig and said maybe ill read that chapter in a few days. I actually wanted to wait also becasue it was the weekend and i wanted to enjoy myself. lol its sad. it made me realize wow smoking controls your life. and controls how you read books for god sakes. So i was on youtube and came across the DVD. Oh by the way i at this point unlike other reviews who said OMG IM DONE SMOKING AND I AM ONLY HALF WAY THROUGH. i was no where near that. i was still afraid, i understood everything in the book but still something hadnt clicked! it made me upset... i thought to myself omg is this is it? am i going to be a smoker for the rest of my life :( ... well i started watching the dvd.... i watched 10 minutes of the hour long period. I paused it once it got my interest. THe book was amazing and i am so glad i read it, but the dvd i could tell was helping as well because although i read everything and understood. the dvd reviewed everything just like the book but it picture for. I was able to grasp it that much more! So i had to go to work of course. told my boyfriend and called my mother that i was going to smoke my last cigarette. It felt so good to say it. I was confident. somehting clearly had clicked thank god. I went to work came home at 11... watched the hour long dvd from the start. I had my final cigarette at 12:50am when he told me too. Tossed the fresh 10$ pack in the trash (after breaking each cig) (boyyy would i never have done that one) and went to bed a non smoker! I must admit and share my story with you because when i read others there so positive and i had a different story. mine was still positive but it helps to hear a full story especially with the fear you must be having thinking of buying this book and quitting. So the follow day and the next was HORRIBLE. Now i had slight pangs and thought about cigs alot. But it also was a stressful two days beings my boyfriends grandfather has been in the hospital sick with stage 4 cancer. I was depressed and miserable. out of control crying. I was missing something. Was the feeling i got .... really missing something. that night my boyfriend was so fed up with me i went to a friends house. still havent smoked i asked for a cig. she put the pack infront of me. I talked out my feelings while looking at the pack. I was craving one. but would it help me? would it help my situation? I finally left and told her i would have one on the ride home thanks. I got in my car to go home. It was pouring out. I put the cig in my mouth went to light up and said "you know what no" (exactly those words) I threw out the cig and from then on i swear to god. I have not been miserable. I have been happy and joyful. I know i beat the addiction. I am now fearful of every smoking again because i realized how addicting they really are. I know that when im stressed cigarettes will not make the stress better, they would have just released the stress from the previous cigarette. ( youll learn all this in the book ) today although its only been 5 days i went for my first run. I ran 1/2 mile non stop with no pain. It felt so good i could have kept going. I only stopped to turn around, and when i did i was all smiles. Its crazy 5 days ago i would not have been able to do that. It goes to show you how presush our bodies are and how much poisn we put in them to feed our addiction. Our bodies bounce back to how they are supposed to be in a matter of no time. So do not be fearful of this. buy the book and dont question yourself. Remember if you bought it, it means your really READ AND WILLING TO QUIT. I do also recomment trying to find the DVD if things havent clicked like for me they didnt. They did though. And besides those two days (where i feel my body was breaking down for giving myself such harmful poisions all these years ) it has been easy!!! no with draw pangs since. I am so glad i picked up that cigarette and said no. it proved to me that i was truly a non smoker. thanks allen car for saving my life, and thanks to all the wonderful people who wrote the reviews. it helped myself gain confidence in defeating this awful addiction
