I dropped a bit off the topic of quitting smoking, although there were still a lot of articles in the plans, from informative to based on personal experience. In the fall of 2017, it will be three years since I stopped smoking, which is probably why I stopped remembering this habit, although in the first months the desire to share the greatest joy did not leave me. Overall, I decided to finish the work I started, especially since there will soon be new cycles for health and self-development. I have already achieved something, I will achieve something in parallel with the readers. I really hope that in recent years I have started to write a little better, which means that this and other articles will be seen by people who will find them useful.
Many people have started trying to quit smoking with Alan Carr's book The Easy Way to Quit Smoking.Why buy when you can just read online or download from torrents? This is your right, but I am still in favor of legal methods, apart from spending even a small amount of money, you will have a great incentive to read the book to the end. I will write about buying or stealing a book at the end of the article. And now I would like to talk a little bit about the methods described in this book.
When you first get to Alan Carr's book The Easy Way to Quit Smoking, it looks like it's in your bag, now you're going to read a smart book and life will get better. The promised way is easy, which means you don't have to work at all. It may be so. Quite a few managed to give up the bad habit just by reading through. Unfortunately, the habit returned to many after a short time. And all this because they did not read carefully, freely and thoughtlessly, relying on the Russian language perhaps. By the way, the author of the book is a foreigner, so you should not count on a 100% hit.
I wrote in a separate article about other books on the same topic that will help you get rid of other bad habits. Do not flatter yourself in the hope that quitting smoking will solve all your problems. In fact, you will embark on the path of cultivation only with confidence in your abilities.
What's the magic of Alan Carr's easy way to quit smoking? Is it really in a special writing style? Of course not. The book helps you think about your habit. Shows the real face of the enemy without scaring with horrible stories about various wounds that threaten the smoker, for which there is already a lot of material on the web (in the article: "harm from smoking on the human body" - I tried to reveal this topic as much as possiblemore, without unnecessary horror stories). Alan calls smoking simply an imposed need that spends a lot of money enriching corporations. Just think that the state is not trying to introduce a complete ban on tobacco, although it could, the church says nothing about smoking, although it would be worth it - they just need smokers. Early dying, sick people paying extra tax on the right to destroy themselves voluntarily.
In The Easy Way to Quit Smoking, Alan Carr emphasizes that there is essentially nothing to quit, you don't give up something important and useful, you just stop paying corporations by committing suicide. Remember that as a child you did not have to smoke a cigarette after dinner to get extra pleasure, it was not necessary to light a cigarette while talking to friends, you felt great right after sleep. Cigarettes, according to Alan, and it's hard to argue with him, all this takes away from the smoker, whose life consists of two periods: the desire to smoke and smoking itself - the only pleasure is to satisfy his need for nicotine, which immediately arises again, it's worth throwing your ass. The most amazing thing is that by saving your life from tobacco, you will get rid of the need to consume it, ie if you stop smoking, you will stop wanting to smoke.
The book is written in a very simple and accessible language and is translated with high quality, so reading it is not only useful but also enjoyable. So, do not hesitate to buy the electronic or paper version if the issue of smoking is not yet resolved.
Who and why helps reading Alan Carr's book
First of all, the book The Easy Way to Quit Smoking will help those who will really quit the habit. I took everything seriously and sought help where possible, for example, I personally used the book as an additional source of motivation, as well as an opportunity to divert attention from smoking to something else.
According to statistics, about 80% of Alan Carr's readers quit smoking. But don't think that they are all so weak in character and that the writer is a great mystic and hypnotist. People just start thinking and sooner or later come to the conclusion that quitting smoking is really easy. "There's really nothing to throw away" - that's why Carr likes to express herself in her own book, all you need to do is stop being subjected to daily torture and poisoning. And to leave, you can pay corporations to destroy your own health.
So, smoking is not won by weak-willed, frivolous people, but, on the contrary, clearly thinking and caring for their own health and the health of their own children. The high percentage cannot but rejoice - this means that the world has not yet gone mad and most people still know how to reasonably assess the situation. And even me and people like me to quit not ONLY thanks to the book "Easy way to quit smoking", but it was not without it.
Why buy Alan Carr's book
I came across a theory that the smoking cessation method doesn't work until you pay for it. This triggers a subconscious trigger, driven like a child, according to which nothing is given for free, for example, the principle of the saying "you can not easily get a fish out of a pond. "It is very possible that I, like many others, have ever been exposed to this effect, because for the first time they gave me the book "Easy way to quit smoking" friends who wanted to help, respectively, I did not see any effectfrom the book. In the same way, the pills that at least half of the former smokers quit did not work in time, because I also received the first pack for free. As a result, the process of quitting smoking dragged on for five long years from 2009 to 2014. However, I will tell my story another time.
Among other things, as a legal blogger who advocates for the rule of law and the "start with yourself" principle, you are simply not ready to give advice on theft. On the other hand, I believe that every work after the author's death should become the property of the audience. So decide for yourself, the most important thing is not to read online. One reading of the book will probably not be enough, so it's always a good idea to have it on hand for any new experience.
For example, it took me three readings, the last one was more of a distraction from the desire to smoke, but extremely effective. I read that you can smoke at any moment, I had a pack of cigarettes against all advice, I knew that at any moment I could give up my plans, the stronger and more confident I became in my desire to give up tobacco. My affirmations and motivations worked, and Alan Carr's penny book, The Easy Way to Quit Smoking, worked. Even if the method was not the easiest, the goal was achieved and the next step was taken.
