Stop Smoking in One Hour: Play the CD... just once... and never smoke again! [Paperback]

OK - I am a sailor, having served in the RN for 20 years. I have smoked since the age of 12, spent the last 20 years on cheap "RN" cigarettes, including special "blue liners" that only we could get, that consisted off sweepings from cigarette factory floors. I know that smoking has been bad for me, for all the above reasons. I am not stupid (I have a BA Hons), I know that logically, smoking is a bad choice, and I can rationalise the exact reasons why I should not smoke. Yet I could do all that, and then go for a cigarette! I work in a smoky culture, in a smoky environment, which is only just changing, and I stopped in one day. I thought this book was going to be the usual "cor, read this and you'll never smoke again" that sometimes goes around warships, but you have a cigarette while you read it.... I have stopped before, but only for a few months at a time, and always investing in patches, gum, lozenges, etc. Even those pretend plastic cigarettes.... I always wanted to give up, but I gave in at the first hurdle, and never understood why. I smoked during the week, and told my family that I had stopped when I saw them at weekends, trying to persuade them that I only smelt of cigarettes because of the people I worked with/the car I drove/the place I stopped. I only ever enjoyed about 2 percent of the cigarettes I smoked. I read the book, played the CD, and I seem to have forgotten that I want to smoke! I don't think about it, I don't need it. I originally used this with patches, but they gave me a bad reaction, and I stopped using them after 2 days. I don't eat more than I used to, my temper is no different, there are no withdrawal symptoms. I still play the CD (mainly because there are a couple of bits on it which make me laugh!), but I can be around people who smoke without wanting to join in. I am not the sort of person you would expect to admit that mindtricks like this work, but it does. It is a simple trick, using hypnotherapy techniques, and word/action association, but it works. And if I'd realised all those years ago, I'd never have started. Buy this book. Simple as that. There is no reason not to buy this book.

I used to smoke around 20 cigs a day (more if I was out) and after reading the book and listening to the CD- only once- before I went to sleep, I can say honestly that I am a non-smoker and I have no desire to EVER start again! Susan Hepburn's formula works like magic. I lent the book to a friend who smoked more (and for longer) than I had, (he didn't believe it would work for him either!) but after listening to it only once he is now a non-smoker too!! I have tried other methods of quitting (patches, inhalators, gum, willpower) and have always found myself on-edge and desperate to smoke- basically it was a struggle- and as a result, I have always failed. This method was so simple, even the breathing exercises (which you have to do every hour for 3 days after listening to the CD) were easy as I found that I did them automatically every hour without even thinking about it!

Yes- I did get "cravings" (these are actually only associations, but you will find out more about this when you buy the book!), but they were really nothing more than a niggle. I found that I was calm (even in social situation and in the presence of smokers) from day one and have now not had (or wanted) so much a puff on a cigarette for 6 weeks...unbelievable!

You may be worried about the hypnosis aspect of the treatment, I, like many others I'm sure, had never been (and was sure I couldn't be) hypnotized, but the whole process is explained well and you are made to feel at ease- you never feel as though you are out of control and you are not made to do anything "silly" you just lie back, relax and listen. Susan likens the experience to when you are just about to fall asleep- totally relaxed, but still able to hear and feel things around you- its very nice actually.

Basically this book is a miracle and even if it were £80 instead of £8 it would have paid for itself by now!!

If you want to give up smoking- give it a go- even if you are sure it won't work for you. You have absolutely nothing to lose!
