Comment on Good to see AAFES looking out for my health
DakRalter@thelemmy.club 2 weeks agoYou might try Allen Carr’s easyway book, it’s meant to make you give up in a way that you don’t even want to smoke anymore, rather than fighting the urge. I’m a non smoker so I can’t give my personal experience on it. But it was recommended by some former smokers on the ukcasual community. I bought a used copy for a colleague, but I don’t work there anymore, so I’ll try to catch up with him sometime and find out how he went with it. I’m currently reading Carr’s other book, The Nicotine Conspiracy, and I’m finding it very interesting. (I have an ebook copy of his easyway book if you want it).

This book was how I finally managed to quit smoking well over a decade ago.

Awesome! Did it do what it said on the tin? Did you make the mental shift so that you didn’t want to smoke after? Or do you ever feel tempted?

Yeah it did, it caused a mental shift on how you look at it from giving you something to taking something away from you instead.
I dont really feel tempted at all long term, because I had tried smoking one a couple years later and it was like sucking on an ashtray. Because I was no longer addicted I didn’t get the relief anymore that smoking gave, and that let me move on more fully.
