Unplaned quit
I was still planning to get home to the coast from work this week and get my champix and get started on my quit next week.
A few nights ago a fellow quiter on this site recomended me to read Allen Carrs book Easy way.
So I bought the audio book online last night and listened to the to the entire program. It was over 5 hours in total.
After finishing the book this morning at 8am i felt it would be wrong to continue smoking now, after everything i had just heard.
Now I havnt had a smoke in over 16 hours because of this book. I didnt plan it to happen like this but this book is good and was well read. I would highly recommend it. I found it on audible.com
I listened hard, certain parts i reveiwed over n over and am trying my best to follow all the instuctions and so far allen carr is right, i am finding it a lot easier than i thought. Normally buy this stage in my day I would of had atleast 20 smokes but ive had zero and not missing it to much.
See how it goes still early days.
Well done PJ I haven't read the book but I am certainly intrigued , we don't have a bookshop here just Big W and Kmart, have checked but neither of them had the book. And because our Internet is so unreliable I don't like ordering on net, but next time I go to Rockhampton I will see if I can get it there. Wow listen to me sound like the worlds biggest winger. Sorry !!!!!!!!! Anyway good luck I work on the idea of one smoke at a time not smoked, hour by hour and day by day, please keep telling us how you are going
Thanks chezzel, yes it is well worth getting. I enjoyed the audio version, found listening to the tone of voice really helped getting the message across for me, kinda of got me in the right frame of mind. I was very proud of my effort.
Im currently staying in a workers camp, I knocked off work this morning and sat down with a few of the other people I work with who all smoke, I stayed strong for a while but unfortunately I gave in and had 3 smokes with them. Now I feel disappointed in myself, I honestly beleive I could of sat there with them and had none. Though I guess 3 smokes in 24 hours compared to a whole packet is a big improvement. I will try again tonight.
