Hello -
good luck with the book - I tried it and it didn't work for me. Well, it worked for a week and then I was smoking again. However a week was the most I'd ever gotten to! Just don't be too hard on yourself if it doesn't work - you can still give up if you really want to (I haven't yet, so I do sympathize).>
I too am a cynical person, and very untrusting, so maybe that is why the brainwashing didn't work as it should on me.
Good luck with it!

I smoked 3 packs a day for almost 20 years...god awful "habit" and one I have not done now for 18 months.

> I did it with the aid of a book...Easy way to stop smoking by Allen Carr. Its dead easy to read and its intensely powerful, ie it unbrainwashes you while you continue smoking!! I chain smoked my way through the book and put out my last ciggy when I'd finished the book!

> I've suffered from CFS, anxiety, depression and a host of other associated ailments for almost 17 years and stopping smoking is the biggest thing thats helped give me my health back. Its taken a long time and the first year I felt little difference (in fact at times I even felt a bit worse as my brain chemistry changed due to the lack of nicotine) but hand on heart, I can honestly say I *DO* fel better both physically and mentally for not smoking.
