Meagain I am so glad you bought the Allen Carr book. I first bought that in 1994, but i didnt read it all the way through, as it knew it was working, and I told myself i didnt really want to quit smoking.
How stupid is that? if I didnt want to quit smoking I wouldnt have bought the book, my copy is a tiny one which fits into small carboard cigarette type packet, you can carry it around instead of smoking. from my experience, for me, that book works more than anything as it will wash out your mental thinking
1. You want to smoke
2. You are just having a puff
3. About using NRTs
4. That you are just kidding yourself.
You are not doing yourself any favours smoking, and you know it. Lose the fear meagain, you can do it.
ALL methods take will power, so you have to want to do it. You will need to stay focused on why you want to quit and stick to it. You need to see the benefits.
GET RID OF THE CIGARETTES!!! I cannot say this clear enough if you dont have any, you cant smoke any and tell everyone you know to not offer you one, and even if you beg for one to refuse.. If you dont you are wasting your time, because you WILL get weak times... if you are never going to smoke every again, why would you want to keep them anyway.. throw them away, or smoke them, and really take in every single filthy drag on that cigarette, how it feels, how it makes you feel... think about it.
Its up to you, but you will need to be determined because nicotine can play tricks with your mind and you need to stronger than it, to succeed long term.
