    Hi Jo,

    I have read the Allen Carr book, but not for a couple of years, and it makes some very good points. It was probably the influence of the book that made me decide to try this time without using any NRT.

    I keep telling myself that the only way to quit is to break the nicotine habit, and if I do that by just stopping "cold turkey" then it'll happen a lot sooner.

    Richard

    Rich - if you think that about AC, try 'The Nicotine Trick' by Neil Casey ;) I thought the same about AC, but didn't quite 'get it'. The Casey book filled in all the gaps and gives you some instructions at the end to follow. I did and I can honestly say that, apart from the first few days withdrawing, I haven't had a craving since.

    Its true though. i think Allen Carr says that we all think we are the world's worst smokers who have no will power. Fact is that we CAN do it. All of us.

    Did you take it with food? I found it helps... used to take mine without and was really yucky :(

    Also get some glucose tablets... they help a bit with the lethargy .. remember you are denying yourself a stimulant you've been taking for however long so without it you are going to feel less energetic (for a while at least)
