Q. I tried Allen Carr's book and several others, they only helped me until my nerves won over. I have tried Chantix, the patch and wellbutin and it all worked but I hate taking meds. With Chantix, I had horrible dreams and sleep disorders, and it increased my appetite, but now I have horrible constipation, so my doctor look me off. He told me that he had tried everything now it is up to me. He recommended this book, because it is a spiritual approach to quitting smoking and he said he used it and he has been smoke free for two years. I kind of felt like my doctor just gave up on me. Help! I'm also feeling a bit depressed now that I have been weaned off of Chantix.
Answer
Hi, I think you may have heard this before, but no book is a cure all. In order to quit you REALLY have to want to. I have read the Tao of Quitting Smoking and it is a great book! The book is helps you on several levels spiritually. Basically the book attempts to get the reader to hate cigarettes and to hate smoking, even if you truly don't believe in your heart. It is kind of like, if you keep on believing that you hate cigarettes, than you will finally begin to hate it. Your mind believes what you feed it. I like the book because it allowed me to understand why I WAS addicted to Nicotine. You pick your quit day with the book and you are allowed to smoke while reading the book. The author give you assignments to do when you smoke. The book is also kind of funny. Amazon.com describes
The Tao of Quitting Smoking as a spiritual guide written in a no-nonsense Dr. Phil-like way complete with homework assignments. Examining every level of the smoking experience, Weaver addresses why people start smoking, the effects of nicotine and other poisons in cigarettes, how to use meditation instead of nicotine, and how to say goodbye permanently to tobacco to become a happy, healthy non-smoker. It isn't a well known book, but recently was mentioned by some star on a talk show, who quit smoking. So, I guess it is getting some recognition. I believe also the book was a self-published book.
Good Luck in your journey to quitting smoking. I have quit for about 6 months and I won't go back. No freaking way!
