“Give It Up” is basically a collection of arguments for why someone should quit smoking. It starts with why a person smokes, then follows with how it hurts the smoker, the benefits of quitting and then finishes with stories from people who have quit. While this may be beneficial to some people it ignores the fact that for most people the reason they have a hard time quitting smoking is because it is an addiction. Many, many smokers would quit today if they were able to and all the ones I know already know the dangers of smoking and the health benefits of quitting, but that has not helped them to quit. There may be some smokers that benefit from a detailed discourse on how bad smoking is for you and how much better you are if you quit. Still others may benefit by using it as an aid to keep them motivated. If they are on a nicotine patch program, hypnosis program, or some other program then reading this may help to keep their motivation level high and increase their success. However, the greatest benefit of this book may be as a preventative with teenagers to make sure that they realize just how bad smoking can be.

This book is a candid exploration into an ex-smoker’s personal battle with quitting smoking. Anyone who has ever struggled with the enormity of quitting will most certainly relate to this author’s perspective. I read the book several times in order to come to grips with my own addiction to cigarretes. It worked! I have been nicotine free for over a year. As an educator, I also feel this can be a valuable assett to any school district’s health education curriculum. As a parent, I plan to use this book to further educate my own children on the dangers of smoking.

This is a book with a unique spiritual perspective on quitting smoking. The empowering lessons throughout not only strengthens the inner will to quit, it strengthened my entire inner self. There’s a lot here for people who need some help tapping into their discipline – indeed in even recognizing what that discipline is and where to find it in themselves. The CD was especially helpful. I have played it for my teenage daughter and it had a powerful impact on her. She is not smoking and doesn’t plan to. Information from real people (other than her mom) really help reinforce what I’m trying to get across to her about this dangerous addiction.

Giving up smoking was a long, long process for me. A good friend gave me a copy of the book. It was just the right size and came at just the right time. I could tuck it into my attache case and read it on demand. I found “Give it up..” thoughtful and heartfelt and what I needed to stop smoking at last. A wonderful “friend” book. Thank you.

What is better than reading and listening to people just like you who share their smoking experiences?! This book may be part of a quitting plan or it may be all it takes, the most important thing is to read it and get started. The book is an easy read and the audio cd is great to listen to as you fall asleep, dreaming of your soon-to-be healthy lifestyle. I can highly recommend it.

When Anne spoke about my higher power wanting me to be a nonsmoker, that is what got to me the most. I know this intuitively and it resonated within me to hear it verbalized in such a way.
