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?).
