I dropped the topic of quitting smoking a bit, although there are still quite a few articles in the plans, from informative to personal experience. In the fall of 2017, it will be three years since I quit smoking, which is probably why I stopped remembering this habit, even if in the first months the desire to share the greatest joy did nothasn't left me. In general, I have decided to finish the work I started, especially since there will soon be new cycles on health and personal development. I have already achieved something, I will achieve something in parallel with the readers. I really hope in the last few years I've started to write a little better, which means this and other post will be seen by people who find it useful.
Many people started their attempt to quit smoking with Allen Carr's book "The Easy Way to Stop Smoking".Why buy when you can just read online or download from torrents? It is your right, but I am always for the legal methods, besides spending even a little money, you will be very encouraged to read the book until the end. I will write about buying or stealing a book at the end of the article. And now I would like to talk a bit about the methods described in this book.
When you get your hands on Allen Carr's book "The Easy Way to Quit Smoking" it looks like it's in the bag, now you will read a smart book and life will get better. The promised path is simple, which means you don't have to work at all. It just might be. Quite a few have managed to quit their bad habit by reading to the end. Unfortunately, the habit returned to many after a short time. And all because they did not read carefully, fluently and not thoughtfully, perhaps relying on Russian. By the way, the author of the book is a foreigner, so you shouldn't count on 100% success.
I wrote in a separate article about other books on the same subject that will help you get rid of other bad habits. Don't flatter yourself that you hope quitting smoking will solve all of your problems. In fact, you will only embark on the path of self-improvement with confidence in your abilities.
What is the magic of Allen Carr's Easy Way to Quit Smoking? Is it really in a special style of writing? Of course not. The book helps reflect on your habit. Shows the real face of the enemy, without intimidating with horror stories about various plagues that threaten the smoker, on which there is already a lot of material on the network (in the article: "Damage from smoking to the bodyhuman "- I tried to reveal this topic as much as possible, without unnecessary horror stories). Allen calls smoking just an imposed need, whereby you spend a lot of money to make businesses rich. Just think that the state is not looking to introduce a complete tobacco ban, although it may, the church is not saying anything about smoking, although it would be worth it - they just need smokers. The early dying, the sick who pay an additional tax for the right to destroy themselves voluntarily.
In The Easy Way to Quit Smoking, Allen Carr emphasizes that there is essentially nothing to quit, that you don't give up on something important and useful, you just stop payingcompanies by killing you. Remember, as a kid you didn't need to smoke a cigarette after dinner to have extra fun, you didn't need to light up a cigarette while talking with friends, you feltwell right after sleeping. Cigarettes, according to Allen, and it is difficult to argue with him, all this takes away from the smoker, whose life consists of two periods: the desire to smoke and to smoke itself - the only pleasure becomes the satisfaction of his need tonicotine, which immediately reappears, it is worth throwing the ass. The most amazing thing is that by saving your life from tobacco, you will get rid of the urge to use it, that is, if you stop smoking you will quit wanting to smoke.
The book is written in fairly simple and accessible language and has been translated with high quality, so reading it is not only useful but also enjoyable. So don't hesitate to buy its electronic or paper version if the smoking problem has not yet been resolved.
Who and why reading Allen Carr's book helps
First of all, the book The Easy Way to Quit Smoking will help those who will truly quit the habit. I have listened to everything seriously and seek help where possible, for example I have personally used the book as an additional source of motivation, as well as an opportunity to shift the focus from smoking to something else.
According to statistics, about 80% of Allen Carr readers have quit smoking. But do not think that they are all so weak in character and that the writer is a great mystic and hypnotist. People just start thinking and sooner or later come to the conclusion that quitting smoking is really easy. "Actually, there is nothing to throw away" - so Carr likes to say in her own book, all you need is to stop submitting to daily torture and poisoning. And to quit, you can pay companies to destroy your own health.
Thus, smoking is not won by weak and light people, but on the contrary, those who think clearly and take care of their health and that of their own children. A high percentage can only rejoice - it means that the world has not gone mad yet and most people still know how to reasonably assess the situation. And although I, and people like me, quit not only because of the book "The Easy Way to Quit Smoking", but it wasn't without.
Why buy Allen Carr's book
I came across a theory that no method of quitting smoking works until you pay. Here is triggered a subconscious trigger, pressed like a child, according to which nothing is given for free and for free, for example, the principle of the proverb "one cannot easily pull a fish out of a pond". It is very possible that I, like many others, have already been exposed to this effect, because the first time I received the book "An Easy Way to Quit Smoking" from friends who wanted to help, I didn't see any effect in the book. Likewise, the pills, which at least half of former smokers quit with, did not work in due time, as the first pack was also given to me for free. As a result, the process of quitting smoking continued for five long years, from 2009 to 2014. However, I will tell my story another time.
Among other things, as a legal blogger who advocates compliance with the law and the 'start with yourself' principle, you are just not ready to give advice on theft. On the other hand, I think that any work after the death of the author must become the property of the public. So decide for yourself, the main thing is not to read online. Most likely, just one reading of the book won't be enough, so it's always good to have it on hand for each new attempt.
For example, it took me three whole reads, the last one being more of a distraction from the desire to smoke, but extremely effective. I read that you can smoke at any time, I had a pack of cigarettes against all advice, I knew that I could give up my plans at any time, the stronger I got and the more confidence in my desire to'quit smoking. My affirmations, motivations, and Allen Carr's “Easy Way to Stop Smoking” book, downloaded for a penny, also worked. Even if the method was not the easiest, the goal was achieved and the next step was taken.
