I finished the book last night and it filled me with the same optimism that Slinky has.

I put my last few cigarettes, tobacco etc in a drawer, washed the ashtrays and stacked them away 'for guests'.
I turned off my air washing machines and threw open all the windows.

I managed to NOT have a cigarette from waking until 3pm. I have smoked for 50 years so I am making silly excuses to myself that I am more addicted than most people, even though after reading the book I know that such excuses are not valid.

I will try again -- because the cigarette that I have just had tasted awful, made me dizzy, and made me feel a failure.

I can see the benefits of being a non smoker - today I have been less breathless.

I will have to read the book again. I can see how his method works - I have spent the day (until 3pm) explaining my cravings to myself as 'there is a little demon named addiction inside me and the little b****r wants feeding or it will die'. I have said to it all day - 'starve you little**** '.

Perhaps I made the mistake of not throwing out the ciggies I had left.
I intend to try again.
I have found a webpage where it is possible to download his latest book

Allen Carr's Easyway Worldwide: FREE DOWNLOAD OF ALLEN CARR'S LATEST BOOK 'SCANDAL'

and will be reading that to see if it helps.

Now I have fed that little devil with a dose of nicotine it will be harder to resist its demands for more. To visualise addiction in this way does seem to harness personal resolve to fight it.

My battle against addiction is not over yet - I have 'retreated to regroup my defenses'.

Hope you manage to do it Margaret, did you go into it with the same resolve as Slinky? It is so hard to give up just hope you manage it in the end!!

MargaretR · 03-11-2007, 15:42

According to the book I shouldn't have felt cravings. Perhaps I read it too fast. The method of visualising addiction as a parasite that demands feeding is a powerful one. I do have confidence that I will defeat it yet.

BERNADETTE · 03-11-2007, 15:44

Just stick at it Margaret, think if you are determined it will come right in the end.
