 Thank God for Allen Carr and the Easy Way June 12, 2007

This is the most incredible book which has completely changed my life. I quit smoking almost effortlessly with the assistance of this plan. If you read this book and absorb what it says, you will easily throw away the cigarettes. I will never smoke again and if I ever get the urge, I will pull the book back out. I only wish I had discovered this years earlier.
It Definitely Can Work April 16, 2007

Yes, Carr's book CAN work for you. Maybe not by itself; but then who ever told you that there was a magic cure out there? Oh, you thought that you did not have to put in any effort? Oh, that you did not have to make a commitment?
Carr's process actually worked for me. I mean from day one. But I also had decided to work at it. I joined an online state-authorized quit site. I went to the chats. I read the sites. I kept the online journal. I read the book and kept smoking while I did. I also started checking out health sites; started walking; breathing; doing yoga. Just a little exercise.
By the time I finished the book, I was more than ready and actually quit a day ahead of schedule. My quit buddy on the web site was reading the book at the same time and found the exact same thing! The two of us had no trouble quitting; we had no pain; we were able to handle the cravings without problems; and now a month later we are not even thinking about smoking.
What we did find was the we could not talk to people who EXPECTED the cravings; who fed on the idea of TEMPTATION. We had no such experience and others found it really hard to believe this could be true.
I am a black female college professor; amazed at how simple this was for me. I still go out and have fun. I go dancing. I attend concerts. I have not changed myself. In fact, the problem has been finding this too simple. I must remind myself of my main purpose and goal.

Free at last!! April 16, 2007

UPDATE! I am still euphoric to be a non-smoker. Almost every time I take a deep breath, I giggle a little at the joy of being able to breathe so freely. I will keep updating every so often to reinforce the fact that THIS BOOK DOES WORK!!
I smoked for 12 years, for awhile smoking 2+ packs a day, then for the last year and a half smoked cigars. And I don't mean just puffing on them, but INHALING 6 to 7 every day. The minute I put this book down (January 3, 2007), the world was different for me. The sky was brighter, the air was sweeter and every day seemed to be just brimming over with potential. I knew it was because I was free. It is now 3 1/2 months later, and I am still riding that wave of euphoria. Now if I am around cigarette smoke too long instead of craving one (as with other methods) I get a bad headache.
So don't rush through the book! And don't skip to the back and read (obviously one of the reviewers here did and that is why the book didn't work for them). Debate every aspect of it with yourself, your spouse, your family and/or your friends. Let it be the valuable key to your tobacco prison--you have nothing to lose except your addiction to the "demon weed".

This is a wonderful book. I was not able to stop smoking using only this book, however. One of the problems I encountered was that when I quit, I felt out of step and insecure. So my "quit" only lasted a half day. Allen Carr does not go into detail on handling the insecure feeling. However, I read the book again, bought a CD by Bob Griswold on quitting which you can listen to while you drive and got a prescription for Chantix from my MD. The CD was very important because Griswold actually tells you what to do when you get the insecure feeling which comes when you are quitting an addiction to nicotine. The Chantix makes it easier to get through cravings. And Griswold is right - the cravings don't last more than 15 minutes and after a while, you don't have them at all.
If it doesn't work... February 2, 2007

For the minority of people for which this book doesn't work: Please buy a copy of Allen Carr's The Only Way to Stop Smoking Permanently. I know of some people who have read "The Easy Way" a few times and it didn't work, then read "The Only Way" and it worked. Plus my brother had to read "The Only way" three or four times before it 'clicked'. (although around 80% of people only have to read one of the books just once) Please don't give up! Allen Carr's books are generally very very effective with the vast majority of people!
