I actually wasn’t planning on stopping smoking, I was procrastinating. I knew I was going to quit about half way through this book. Mainly because the author makes you feel really stupid for smoking. Read the book in 2 days and had my final cigarette about 3pm. The rest of the day was easy. I was filled with positivity... Then I woke up the next day. No physical withdrawal Alan??? I had a constant headache, blurred vision, I stunk, I hated the taste of food and coffee, I was Googling ‘does quitting smoking make you blind?’. On day 2 I rolled up some green tea and smoked it. You name it. Oh and the crying. I’d obviously used smoking to mask emotion to some extent because 7 years worth of tears poured out out my eyes. Anyway, it’s a good job I had a week off work. When I got past the first week things were significantly easier. I’m 33 days smoke free as I write this with no intention of having a smoke. I won’t say for life cos it’s overwhelming, but for today. The thing the book does, or did for me is leave a reminder in your mind that you’ll be stupid if you go to the shop and buy some cigs. Passing it to a friend next.
