I had the book, not the audio version.

Hard to explain how it works, it's not brain washing or anything like that, I was so sceptical but I know others it has worked for as well...you just have to read/listen to it and remember that the idea is that you stop smoking when you finish reading it - the idea is to smoke whilst reading it....you'll find out why!

I'd say it was exactly that.  Continual repetition of key points to get them too stick in your mind, so they are the first thing you think of when confronted with certain situations.  I gave up smoking when I started reading it and then it did my head in so I gave up the book and took up fags again.  One bonus is that you can read it really slowly and so postpone the actual giving up.


I gave up by smoking pure weed for a month.  PM me for tips.

Jesus Yeovil, you didn't really believe me did you?

My father in laws name really is Alan Carr, and he does smoke 40 a day, but I don't think he's ever written a birthday card let alone a fucking book.

easy mistake to make...

when travelling with a mate we got chatting to some yanks, my mate went to buy some cigs yet the yanks looked so shocked when I said "He's gone to get us some fags"!

I think i may buy some rollies.

Don't smoke so much then cos i can't be arsed to roll them.


Title: Alan Carrs easy way to give up smoking
Post by: flammableBen on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 17:12:21
Yeah, that's pretty much my logic. Cheaper too. Buying 20 L&B everytime I went to tesco's was putting the cost of my alcohol run to over a tenner. No way I can afford that.
