I've broken the cigarette / nicotine gum cycle - 6 months on! - By: traf0305, 01 Jan 2009 
I' been struggling with a cigarette / nicotine gum cycle for years before buying this book. I read the book & listened to the CD every day for about 4 days. That was 6 months ago & I haven't touched a cigarette or nicotine gum since. The book is clear & non patronising / preaching & looks at breaking the habit (nicotine gum is just a different habit). Previously I've always fallen off the wagon when having a drink - however I was out recently with a friend, stood outside the pub with her whilst she had a smoke, & it wasn't till later that I realised it hadn't even occurred to me to want one. Occasionally I miss smoking (not crave, just miss) but then the thought of lighting up actully makes me feel ill. It's fabulous - I can't recommend this book highly enough.
Unbelievable! - By: sophistry, 02 Nov 2008 I have already recommended this to several friends, I just can't believe I've actually managed to stop smoking (since January 2008 - it's now November 2008) after at least a dozen failed attemptsin the past using everything from hypnotism to group therapy, patches, sprays, sheer will power, even pregnancy & my kids begging me to stop couldn't prevent me from falling back into it after three months at best. This time, I couldn't believe how easy it all was! I read the book straight through without doing any of the exercises first, then started reading it again but this time doing the exercises. At the same time, I started listening to the cd & did this religiously every day for two weeks. After the third day I no longer had any desire to smoke - this had been planned as my quit day anyway - &in spite of parties, alcohol, friends tempting me to smoke, I haven't had one & haven't really wanted to. I have put on a few pounds but that's due to me being a greedy piggy! Needless to say I have recently bought Mr McKenna's book on how to lose weight...
Quit Smoking Today Without Gaining Weight - By: G. Kennedy, 14 Oct 2008 This is a great book. Only read the first 3 chapters & listened to the cd a few times before I quit. I'd pop the headphone on & fall asleep each night. I didn't even realise I'd stopped until somebody asked why I wasn't smoking.
I fully recommend this to everybody. Simply excellent!
Didn't Do Me Any Favours - By: A. owens, 31 May 2008 
I had high hopes for this book, The book itself isn't that long, a couple or 3 hours will finish it, Its full of visualisation exercises & a bit of psychology. The CD is about 30 mins long, I listened to it for 2 weeks & it was painful. I found myself getting bored each time about 10 mins in. He tells you to count down from 300, but when you reach 0 thats is, now what do I do??
Didn't work for me at all but may work for you
works for me too - By: L. Gardner, 18 May 2008 it's funny how similar we all are. Like most of the previous reviewers I just gave the book a fast look & went straight to the cd. It's been a godsend, i have still gained weight, but who cares, have not had a smoke since I started listening to Paul.. about 6 weeks. Must admit I HAVE wanted to smoke, usually because I've forgotten to listen that day...At such times I force myself to stop gnashing & listen again to the CD to get my head straight. It provides complete relief, & a real sense that I can indeed accomplish this. Spend the money & take the time to listen at least once a day. You'll be glad you did. L>
