Is it Possible to Quit Smoking While Reading a Book?

Smoking is one of those bad habits I would like not to have. I wrote, that since this Monday I started to quit smoking. The first day was horrible. I was able not to smoke until the afternoon. The day was quite stressed, because I had an exam in the evening, so I smoked quite a lot. It was a difficult and unsuccessful beginning. So I still smoke.

I think that many people, who decide quit smoking has the same problem. It is possible not to smoke for several hours but it is very hard not to smoke for a longer time. I found another solution. I have some friends who told me, that there is a wonderful book, that helped them not to smoke anymore. It is Allen Carr's Easy Way to Quit Smoking. I do not believe in miracles, so my attitude to this book is quite skeptic, and I am not sure if this will help me. I started reading this book in Monday evening. I have a translation of thins book to my mother-tongue. The translation is terrible but I keep reading it. I have an idea of reading this book in English, and I believe that I will do this if reading the translation will not help me. But I want to believe (sound like Fox Mulder from the X-files) that it will help me. If you have some experience with this book, I would be glad if you could share it with me.

If you want to join me reading this book, you can find in on the Amazon store. I prefer holding paper books in my hands but the Kindle edition is available too. I do not guarantee the result, but there are many friends of mine, who claim that this book was the only thing they needed to quit smoking. Well, we will see this in approximately one week, when I will finish reading it. By the way, there is one strange thing about this book. Author tells the reader not to stop smoking while reading the book. So, I am doing as Allen recommends (sounds miserable, isn't it?). 

Starting Today

It is said, that the worst thing is to start something tomorrow. Remember this when you start thinking about making to do list for the next year. Make this list today. There may be only one small task to do, but you should start doing this right now. If you leave this for tomorrow, it might be that you would never finish it.

I suppose I should write more about myself. But I do not consider this at the moment, because I'd like to leave a little secret for the future. I have several bad habits such as smoking, drinking coffee and others. I am a little bit overweight (~20 kg). So, the first changes I would like to challenge myself are solving these problems. I eat unhealthy, I do not exercise. I dream of running my online business, I want to visit Greece and so on... There are many thing I would like to change in my life to obtain better life quality. I would like you to join me. Changing yourself step by step may lead to perfect results.

The first thing I will try to challenge myself is to quit smoking. This habit not only cost much money but also is very unhealthy. Anybody, who would like to try quit smoking with me, please join this little challenge. I will share my own experience and useful material that I will find on the internet to help you (and of course myself). Happy reading, and I hope that you will find this information helpful.
