The whole process was surprisingly easy once I got a few things into my head. I had read a book titled "How to Stop Smoking the Easy Way" by Allen Carr. I was extremely skeptical when it was suggested to me but I read it anyway. I have tried to quit many times, but this time, it was truly easy to do. He essentailly points out a few things in his book. The first is that the cigarette industry has been brainwashing everyone into thinking that quitting smoking is a horrible experience, and that it will always be a struggle. The second thing is that he convinced me I was giving up nothing. I did not even need to finish the book, I just set a date and quit. He made many other points that made so much sense, that if one understood what he was saying, you would have to quit, and would actually enjoy it.
It is inconcieveable to me that I could ever put another one of those filthy things into my mouth again. I would be willing to discuss this with anyone offline who is wanting to quit, but is afraid of failing.
