but i ""FEAR"" so much that i just cannot do it…and this is just gonna be another failed attempt. I ve just started reading allen carrs easy way book….ive been smoking for 15yrs and im 35 now….i want the money for holidays, i wanna go to New York City again and buy shoes there….cos me and my hubby cannot afford it right now but if i stopped smoking we could, but its sooooo difficult.Has anybody out there got any great tips or great advice…to give???? thank you,,,,,, zoe
You already have the answer you are looking for. And you are correct about the fear being the reason you cannot quit. I quit after reading Allen Carr's book. In fact, about halfway through I never wanted to smoke again. It disgusted me that much that soon. But since I felt this book was going to help me and it told me to smoke until the end, I followed it's directions. And then when I got to the part that told me to smoke my last cigarette I thought "Finally!" and I was no longer afraid but excited! The only thing I can tell you is to finish the book. And good luck.
Oh I just wanted to add(so people won't think I was a light smoker that wasn't really addicted), I smoked from age 13 until I was almost 33. Was smoking nearly 2 packs a day at the end.

I think you should stop gradually. Usually people that have been smoking as long as you cannot stop cold turkey. Over a week, calculate an average of how many cigarettes you smoke in a day, and I say cut it down one cigarette every week or every two weeks. Like, if you smoke seven cigarettes a day, cut it down to 6 after a week and then 5 the next week or two. A gradual cutback is usually easier. Good luck!
