No fooling! 13 years ago today I quit smoking forever and I did it by using this book! J. Rogers devised a systematic approach to ease the addicted one off cigarettes – it really works if you follow the system.
In 1996 I purchased this book, part of the process was to pick a date to quit smoking – about 4 weeks into the future, I selected April 1st, because only a fool would continue to smoke after that day!
I followed the steps as outlined in the book, steps like keeping track of when and how much you smoke, changing cigarette brands to lower nicotine brands, waiting 15 minutes after you eat to smoke, and so forth. Eventually, all the trigger points are dealt with, and the amount of nicotine entering your system is dramatically less than when you began – making your quit day a breeze. This method will work – buy it for anyone who smokes and knows how to read!
I was so physically and psychologically addicted that I really believed there was no way I could ever quit smoking. I had tried everything: patches, smoke-cessation groups, cold turkey, etc. Finally, I read this book one summer, made lots of notes, kept the charts that are suggested, made myself a diary of why I HAD to quit and all the other wonderful psychological helps suggested in the book. I got all fired up and ready to go. It then took patches and after that the nicotine gum and about 1 1/2 years of antidepressants and….. I’m free!!! and feeling fantastic! I did this in February of 1996, so next February will be 10 years. I know that I never could have done it without this book. I’m buying it now for a friend. Try it. It will help you to succeed.
I hadn’t even thought seriously about quitting when I first read this book. Ms. Rogers has such an understanding and sympathetic view of the smoker that it’s hard not to become encouraged by her method. I followed her instructions to the “T” and lo and behold, 6 weeks after I first read her book, I quit…and it was easy. I never would have imagined it!
This book is jam packed with information that all smokers need to know. 2 months ago, after reading this book, I finally stopped a 1 1/2 pack a day, 23 year old addiction with NO weight gain and haven’t thought twice about it since. You’ll never look at a cigarette or yourself in the same way after this book. It’s not a scare tactic book, either. It’s just good psychology and it REALLY works!
Hey it’s easy to quit smoking-I know-I’ve done it a hundred times. Such was my life untill I read Roger’s book 20 years ago and have been habit free since. It is by far the very best book on the subject that I have ever read and I’ve read a bunch. I’ve just re-read recently and the info is timlessly effective in 2001. I keep several copies on hand to give to all my smoke-struggling friends.
Through a “smoker friendly” approach, Ms. Rogers has found a very gentle and effective way to “stay quit” She herself was a smoker for many years, and has educated herself on the best methods for quitting smoking and has compiled them in this book. Her system has worked for me! I’m now 3 years tobacco free!
I quit after 15+ years of smoking. I read this book 2 times before quitting and then stopped 2 years ago and haven’t looked back since! I was the most addicted person I know. I mailed my book to one brother who used it to quit. (We both are just amazed by this) He mailed it to my other brother… We shall see!!! I would buy these for any smoker I know. I feel like Ms Rogers gave me a new life! You should see how healthy I look! No more sore throats or headaches.
I love this book; it was the catalyst to my quit. It’s written for smokers – it never preaches – just gently takes you down the path to achieving the goal of being a non-smoker. You have to “work the program”, but it’s fun – and, if you do all the exercises etc. – you will feel you finally have power over your smoking. She gives you the tools to see you though too. I’ve bought several copies of this book to give away to smokers who might be considering quitting – this book will help make up anybodys mind if they are afraid of quitting.
This really is a great book. I read it nearly eight years ago and quit smoking after 20 plus years smoking like a fiend. Sadly, after seven years smoke free and losing a parent to lung cancer, a few months ago I began smoking again. I ordered this book and have been working through it, and find it as good as last time I read it. I am having a hard time working through the problems associated with getting up the motivation and willpower to quit – without enough motivation, forget it! – but this is the best book I’ve found to give great, practical advice and the steps to achieve success. Starting smoking again is the worst thing I could have done. Almost immediately, the cigarettes had their evil, addictive tentacles wrapped around me. A good lesson in never having even ONE!!! I do wish she would update the book again, the last version being over ten years old. I think it’s out of print now, but can be found used on amazon. The advice is still great. Good luck!!!
My wife was not all that convinced of quitting when I gaver her the book, she started reading it mostly to humor me, she decided to go thru with it about halfway into the book. It’s been 3 years and she hasn’t gone back. Get this book.
