The Magic "Quit Smoking" book

joethetrainer.com


According to research, around 80% of quitters try to quit on their own with no help, but research shows that just 3-5% of such quitters are still smoke-free a year later.  Most don’t even make it a week.

My good friend Jeff and his wife Andrea just had a baby and they both were smokers for years.  When Andrea became pregnant last year, Jeff continued to smoke and obviously Andrea stopped.  Since Jeff and I both umpire, we're on the road almost every weekend February to November traveling for baseball.  Smoking drives me crazy as it just smells gross and gets all over your clothes...not to mention what it does to your insides!  Anyhow, as a previous smoker myself, I know how hard it is to quit.  I have asked Jeff since Andrea got pregnant when he was going to quit and he just couldn't stop himself.  He told me that it drove him crazy and definitley wanted to for his son, who is now 6 months old by the way. 

I just saw Jeff today and asked him the same question "did you quit smoking" and today he said YES!  It has been two months now and he said he owes it all to a book he read, Allen Carr's Easy Way to Quit Smoking.  Basically, he said the author encouraged him to KEEP smoking and even smoke MORE until the book was finished?!?!?!  Jeff told me after reading the book, he has no more desire to pop a ciggy in his mouth and he is done for good.  Well, the fact of the matter is that I am super proud of him and excited for his new fresh lungs.  After listening to Jeff today, I would highly recommend this book for anyone looking to quit smoking or knows anyone who still does.  Oh yeah, it worked for Ashton Kutchner too...check it out at http://www.theeasywaytostopsmoking.com/ today!!
