Smoking is Cool

When I started smoking 42 years ago it was the cool in thing. Almost everybody smoked back then, didn't even think about it. My mom would buy me cigs when I was 15. She figured I was going to smoke anyways. Now this trying to get off them
is the worst thing I have had to do. I am reading Allen Carr's book. I've tried everything else. Now I do realize it is mind over matter. DJ

Had a Bit of a Brain Fart

Hi Trooper
 Maybe you should read the book again. I know you can not bargain with yourself. I have set my quit date but I haven't finished the book and your not suppose to quit until you read it. It might take a couple of times reading to set some things in. You have to get you mind turned around, but has always been my problem when I quit. I can't think of anything else but having one. Now after all the quits I have learn that you have to reverse your thinking. You have to get it out of your mind, can't drill on having one just makes it worse and you can't beat it that way. I have learned that. DJ

Pippy I kind of felt that way last week. Just got on to read, felt like I really didn't want to think more about it.

Your guide to quitting ? But I?ve failed before

Well this is probably about my 10th or 11th try at this. So this chic is a slow learner. I've tried just about everything
they have or had for quitting. Think there is only one way. Allen Carr's book and cold turkey. DJ
