I don't understand do people walk around thinking drinking is healthy or improving? Im basically a cog in a machine run by elites who control everything and my life is basically worthless besides to those around me. If it were between me and saving 10 million dollars the world would choose 10 millions and distribute it evenly. This is hell and im gonna have a drink til im gone. Tried to sober up and nothing improved, I just got very incomplacent but nothing to do with it. You can try and go invest in stuff good luck there's plenty of people already trying that and with a lot more resources than you. If you don't have savant talent or dumb luck you're basically screwed. I've been a wrestler and muy thai fighter, went to school for electrical, worked a variety of jobs but I can never be complacent with my situation. There is no true freedom. It's an illusion. The truly free are the ultra rich who can go to any country any time and stay anywhere they want and not be bothered. Those people are truly free. And they don't have to lift a finger. Ima drink til I'm gone from this hell hole
I read Easyway to Quit Smoking 15 years ago, and dropped smoking easy as pie over night. I didn’t even feel withdrawal after 12 years of smoking. I read Easyway to Quit Marijuana 6 months ago, and am currently high as balls scrolling TH-cam shorts. You win some, you lose some
@@daymi5817 you don't need a book, or anything. If you really want to quit, just stop. Its that easy, the real trick is to not start again, that's the hard part....
@@Pilatus_Musicthey have good point though. Because unless that person knows they have a problem even if they don’t fix it that is a huge help to getting them to stop. I’m sure this book helps but like with my mom she still tries to hide her drinking and refuses to believe she has a problem even though it’s lost her, her family, drivers license, car, marriages, security of having a place to live, ect. She’s not reasonable like the person stated.
Presumably, if someone is at the point where they're willing to get and read this book, at the very least they are acknowledging that they have a problem and are looking for help. That's half the battle.

I stopped drinking 5 months ago today. I saw this clip awhile back and watched the whole podcast because I wanted more info. After that I, decided to read the book. This book works, if your even considering reading it, do it.
I quit smoking 30 years ago, with the help of nicotine patches. At the time, they were prescription only, and your first box contained a pamphlet, that offered tips to make the experience easier. At the bottom of every page, there was a single sentence in bold type that read, “Remember: The cravings will go away whether you smoke or not.” That one sentence saved my life.
It’s been just a few days shy of a year for me. I still miss it like the death of your best friend, but overall I feel much better and I’m $2,500 richer because I quit.
I quit smoking and drinking cold turkey..37 years and I decided I was done.. you have to be ready, no book is going to help you if you arent ready to stop
I smoked when I was a teenager and I was addicted I was three yrs in. I read a study that teenagers that smoke after graduation are most likely going to smoke the rest of their life.. So I made it a mission to quit and I quit that same yr. I cold turkey too.. Addiction runs in my family too, my dad has drank every single day since before I was born.. I'm 30, he's still alive but it's bad now he's retired and was a functioning alcoholic when he worked he drank when he got off work, since he doesn't work anymore he drinks a 24 everyday. He would always say " I'll quit when the Dr tells me too" that's cap though because he never goes to the DR. And he would say when I was younger "I pay for my alcohol" 😂.
@@agency_tv No it in fact isn’t once your body is dependent on it you could die without it and you have to take micro doses until you don’t have to anymore although I’m not really to sure about cigarettes but I know for a fact that drugs can have that affect.
Yeah, me too. And it gets easier every time. Until you finally run out of reasons to make the one mistake of starting again. It has been 12 years for me now and I am still so happy to have finally gotten rid of it💃🏻
Perhaps for some they know the excuses are invalid but not exactly why theyre invalid, and maybe if they knew exactly why then every time they thought about one of those excuses they would think thats invalid because.. instead of just thats invalid.
I listened to this podcast at the beginning of the year I have been drinking at least 3 times a week for the last 35 years, I read this book and haven't had a drink for 7 months.
At some point an addict gets to a stage where rationality means nothing. He knows it's wrong. But he can't stop. I'm in that position... And I doubt someone will be able to reason me out of it...
Stop arguing on the wrong side of the equation. 2.5 packs a day. Finished 8 years ago. Everybody picked me most likely to die by cigarettes and least likely to quit. Get the audio book and focus intensely while listening to it. I failed first time then nailed it next time and it was surprisingly, "easy".
It really can work. Especially if you do the meditation at the end. It worked for me at one point two years ago. I think I would have stayed sober if I had continued with the meditations.

And *much gratitude* to Allen Carr for writing his books and helping so many people see through the lies of their addictions.
I started smoking when I was 13 because a neighbor used to steal smokes from his dad. I quit after smoking for over 20 years after reading the book. It's legit. Long story short you wanna smoke because you smoke but you don't really want to, you convinced yourself you want to so you don't have withdrawals from the pain of quitting. Thing is there really isn't any pain of quitting, it's all just hyped up in your head. Just quit and you'll be alright. And it's true. Plenty of people are fine not smoking every day. You'll be fine too.
Have you tried phenibut? Granted it's possibly "replacing one addictive substance with another" but phenibut is non-toxic. Alcohol is unbelievably toxic. I truly believe phenibut is the hidden gem for curing alcoholism. Just get the capsules since it tastes disgusting. Phenibut raises GABA significantly but for a much longer period of time than alcohol.
Because you're not on your side. That's the most common issue I came across. Even if I was your friend and gave you a step by step solution, you would try to prove me wrong with all your might to tell me "It's not that simple". Simplest way to explain this concept is: Imagine there are two teams fighting it out in your subconscious. One is the addiction, the other one is you - the healthy man, the one who's got power to make choices. And each time you say to someone "can't be done" you're literally fighting for the bad guys. And believe me inside of you there's a self-persuading mechanism and it takes a lot of fuel to keep that mental addiction going. It has to essentially fight off all the good tendencies in you. The key is to realize it, and withdraw all that energy from that side of you. Just cut off it's resources and starve it, by no longer fueling that part of you and put all that energy into believing an opposite. Fight for the other team, the people who try to tell you it's possible. Just be on your side, make it important, remind yourself every time the enemy wants you to buy a bottle and you will be victorious. And after you will you can carry that momentum and pride into other areas of your life.
Is that bc you tried and you’re still in the loop? It’s there if ya wanna stop but let’s be real we would rather drink then to enjoy the silences of a dark room, and observing our thoughts. I say that bc we’re not our thoughts. They’re just there to make decisions. Sometimes we end up making piss poor decision but that doesn’t define who we truly are
I HAD a family full of smokers. Yep, had. My friend and her husband quit because of this book. I bought copies of his audio CD of the book as Christmas gifts for every smoker in my family and my husband's family about 10 years ago. I heard nothing for a long time. Then I found out everyone in my family, except my sister, had QUIT! My dad had tried everything, even traveling to do hypnosis in a neighboring state. My husband's family didn't sound like they read it/listened to it. His grandma was later put on oxygen from smoking before she died. Some of my family were even loaning it to others though. I'm not a smoker. I just wanted everyone to have their best lives and I'm glad I didn’t even care who I offended on Christmas. I feel so much gratitude to Allen Carr. ❤
For the comments that believe this b******* no book is going to stop someone from drinking or smoking by telling them their reason for doing it is b*******, Y'all do realize that's not how addiction works right, an addict don't smoke because of anything but it feels good they like it they love it and want some more of it lol but fr though that's not how addiction works. But hey if Ashton Kutcher says it's true....
Used to smoke 2 packs a day, read the book, kept smoking, but after a few more months it just made click in my head, extinguished a cigarette half through and haven't had any trouble not smoking at all, completely easy going, was like i never smoked before So if you don't quit instantly, just give yourself some time, you haven't failed just because you haven't stopped right after the book
I read this book after watching this JR podcast. Didn't know it when I started reading it, but I had already had my last drink. 6 months no drinks and perfectly happy about it. It's not something I even have to think about anymore.
Exactly right about the effect, I read the book personally but towards the end of the book I really didn’t want to smoke even though he says not to quit until the book is finished 😂
oh that's too bad. now your gonna live until your late 70s or 80s maybe even 90s. and your going to watch your self waist away little by little every day. your body will break down cognitive abilities. then in the end you'll be remembered for being febal weak and old. smoking is gonna kill me early so I won't have to deal with it. and when I get cancer. I will be remembered as tough and a fighter. legacy means everything. too bad for you.
@@ploppyjr2373 no I just don't want to fade away. slowly. you won't remember who youre children are. or your wife. old and feeble. no thanks. once my good years are gone thats if for me. people too scared of death. we shouldn't be. everyone dies. I am perfectly fine with dying before I become demented.
@@EonAlpha i did try that too, and it did work for me as well.. kinda blew my mind how a book set your mind in correct state to just quit, i'm able to set that specific mind set on my own, at the end i return to smoking, but that cause of my own stupidity, i could easily not do that
I quit smoking cold turkey on a thrusday 5 years ago. Had a pack a day for 10 years habbit. Other people still smoke around me, the guys id ride to work with still smoked. It didnt bother me, i didnt need a book, i didnt need to be hypnotized. I just decided i was done. Everyone has this power inside them. Most will never know it.
I smoked steadily pack a day for 17 years since I was 15. After loving it for years and finally being ready, I read this book almost to prove it wrong? And it completely helped me quit smoking forever. I can confidently be near a smoker or talk about the subject and know I won’t ever want another one again. Life changing.
I kept on asking my wife for permission to drink, then one day she tells me, “I give you permission not to drink”… For some reason that made me laugh so much, that I accepted that as a reason to not drink. God I love her.. lol we were at Costco passing the tequila..
I read allen carrs book to quit smoking. I was heavily addicted for 5 years. Quit cold turkey without any problems or relapses. If the thought of quitting ever crossed your mind do yourself a favor and order this book. Best decision i ever made.
Thank you for making this a short. I quit with Allen Carr in person group session. 6 hours and you're done. So easy after 17 years of smoking. You don't even have to try. It's a shame on the medical community they don't take it seriously.
@@ArizonaAkinTv It's not. Worked for me as well. Didn't think a book could help me quit when nothing else did. But it has been over 12 yrs now and I'm still so happy and thankful that I got rid of it.
So I was wrong. This is a miracle book. You buy this book, and by the time you're done reading it, you have quit your habit. The bottom line is it is your choice to do something or not? And I suppose this book gives you the will power to do so.
@@Flat-Whitethat does literally nothing to help you quit especially if you don't want to quit. Everyone with an addiction knows why we have that addiction and why we do it.
@@StoneyBaloney69 Ok great. You’ve tried everything. And now you’re face to face with a book that tells you the easy way. You’re arguing about why a book wont help you quit your addiction when you haven’t even read it. Why are you making excuses? What do you have to lose?
The first 50 pages of the stop smoking book are about how good the book works. I was so irritated that i threw the book away and also never smoked a cigarette again.
I did this course in a roomful of people smoking and quit that day. I loved smoking. I was very sad because I had to breakup with a bad friend that was making life crappy. That’s was the key for me. I think it’s been 20 yrs now. ❤
I do not have any excuse. I feel like shit, I am tired, depressed, lost and I just want some chemicals in my brain to stop this feeling for a few seconds so I can get on with my life again.
Yeah but i feel you man... you have to overcome withdrawal... after that its day at a time, fuck it go 15 minutes at a time, but you can stop, i was so heartbroken, my girl left me, i was in debt, didn't pay my rent, had to move, stopped working for a year and just took Xanax Valium, and OxyContin. But this february my new girlfriend talk me to go rehab, and since then i have been sober, 11months right now. My new girlfriend also left me and i don't have job right now, but im still feeling okay cuz im not wasted on benzos and opioids, you can stop. You just have to want to
my god. does internet not have any oither fucking soundtrack than this and the another wich is in every fucking video. Something fucking new once in fucking millenia TY
My mom have quitted smoking thanks to that book 10 years ago, same my father. They gave it to their friends and they quitted too. Today as a smoker I’m starting to read it and I’m sure it will help me quit.
I stopped smoking because of Duolingo I was super stoned and had a unit that kept telling me to stop smoking. I took it as a sign from the universe that something bad would happen if I didn’t stop lmao Dumb reason, but good outcome lol
Smoked 17 year and tried to stop twice and managed for 6 months with the worst cravings and anger issues for at least 3 weeks. I then read the book, haven’t had a cigarette in 10 years. No cravings, no wish ever to smoke again. I would recommend this book to anyone.
This is absolutely truth, I smoked from age 12 to 32. I didn't want to smoke anymore so I just stopped buying cigarettes and it was tough. After the second week, I bummed one, smoked half of it and got tired of it, two weeks later I bummed another one and realized I didn't like it anymore, that was in 2005. I haven't had a cigarette since. When I walk by other people that smoke I ask myself. I can't believe I used to smell like that.
I read it. It worked perfectly. Last page, last cigarette and I quited with a big smile on my face. I danced and sung for 15 minutes straight after that. It was magical.
the easiest way to stop drinking, its 300 blank pages and on the last page is one sentence "Your parents think drinking is cool." Bam. Instantly never want to touch alcohol again.
Totally on board and have lots of love for a person who can stop anything detrimental by reading a book. However, you’d be lucky to get a true addict to put on his/her shoes in the morning let alone get them to sit still and read a book. High octane problems require high octane solutions.
This is how I stopped smoking!! I was smoking 2 packs of Marlboro Reds, and over a bottle of wine, I read the book and quit. She's right: at the end of the book, he writes "if you aren't already smoking, light a cigarette" and I couldn't! The thought of lighting one seemed so repulsive I couldn't do it. There were no side effects, no weight gain, not a single withdrawal. This book saved me.
An addict will not kick their addiction until they themself want to quit. They'll never quit because someone else wants them to. I started smoking at 14. 43 years later (2009) I decided to quit my pack and half a day habit. No gum, no patches, no pills, just me and my determination to kick the habit. Non smokers often become non skinny. So 2 years ago I started riding a bike 6 miles a day and watching what I ate. Lost 83 lbs that year. @71 I still ride that bike when the weather is nice.
Wow crazy that people have been researching addiction for centuries but this one guy found the cheat code to fix everyone without any effort. Never heard that story before.
I used the stop smoking book and went from about 20 a day to zero and have been smoke free for three years… and I haven’t become one of those people who think they’re better than others who haven’t stopped… And I regularly socialise with smokers who smoke in front of me and I have no cravings to smoke at all… I’m actually not that big a reader so I got the audiobook and listened to it while cleaning the house

For real bro, i use norwegian tobacco, I dont have an excuse, I just do it even tho I dont want to..

💪 congrats! 12 years for me💃🏻
Congrats I'm a lifer. I'm not a quitter.
I started smoking when I was 13 because a neighbor used to steal smokes from his dad. I quit after smoking for over 20 years after reading the book. It's legit. Long story short you wanna smoke because you smoke but you don't really want to, you convinced yourself you want to so you don't have withdrawals from the pain of quitting. Thing is there really isn't any pain of quitting, it's all just hyped up in your head. Just quit and you'll be alright. And it's true. Plenty of people are fine not smoking every day. You'll be fine too.
This is what Alan Carr would say to promote bis book
I read the book 4 years ago, I tried lasers and drugs. I still drink to this day. Addiction is far darker than words on a page could ever heal.
Exactly a book won't stop the shakes and seizures people get from drinking
Have you tried phenibut? Granted it's possibly "replacing one addictive substance with another" but phenibut is non-toxic. Alcohol is unbelievably toxic. I truly believe phenibut is the hidden gem for curing alcoholism. Just get the capsules since it tastes disgusting. Phenibut raises GABA significantly but for a much longer period of time than alcohol.
Because you're not on your side. That's the most common issue I came across. Even if I was your friend and gave you a step by step solution, you would try to prove me wrong with all your might to tell me "It's not that simple". Simplest way to explain this concept is: Imagine there are two teams fighting it out in your subconscious. One is the addiction, the other one is you - the healthy man, the one who's got power to make choices. And each time you say to someone "can't be done" you're literally fighting for the bad guys. And believe me inside of you there's a self-persuading mechanism and it takes a lot of fuel to keep that mental addiction going. It has to essentially fight off all the good tendencies in you. The key is to realize it, and withdraw all that energy from that side of you. Just cut off it's resources and starve it, by no longer fueling that part of you and put all that energy into believing an opposite. Fight for the other team, the people who try to tell you it's possible. Just be on your side, make it important, remind yourself every time the enemy wants you to buy a bottle and you will be victorious. And after you will you can carry that momentum and pride into other areas of your life.
No you want to be a victim get over yourself
Is that bc you tried and you’re still in the loop? It’s there if ya wanna stop but let’s be real we would rather drink then to enjoy the silences of a dark room, and observing our thoughts. I say that bc we’re not our thoughts. They’re just there to make decisions. Sometimes we end up making piss poor decision but that doesn’t define who we truly are
I HAD a family full of smokers. Yep, had. My friend and her husband quit because of this book. I bought copies of his audio CD of the book as Christmas gifts for every smoker in my family and my husband's family about 10 years ago. I heard nothing for a long time. Then I found out everyone in my family, except my sister, had QUIT! My dad had tried everything, even traveling to do hypnosis in a neighboring state. My husband's family didn't sound like they read it/listened to it. His grandma was later put on oxygen from smoking before she died. Some of my family were even loaning it to others though. I'm not a smoker. I just wanted everyone to have their best lives and I'm glad I didn’t even care who I offended on Christmas. I feel so much gratitude to Allen Carr. ❤
For the comment section: The book helps people trying to quit, not people not trying.
Pfft....if someone wants to quit, u can quit. These celebrities r idiots plain and simple. Need help spending money
For the comments that believe this b******* no book is going to stop someone from drinking or smoking by telling them their reason for doing it is b*******, Y'all do realize that's not how addiction works right, an addict don't smoke because of anything but it feels good they like it they love it and want some more of it lol but fr though that's not how addiction works. But hey if Ashton Kutcher says it's true....
Fake news
Well yeah, why would you buy the book if you weren't trying to stop
Lololol
Ashton and Ellen oh my. Just waiting for Oprah, and I'm in 😂
Nahh man I over hear waiting for Danny 😂
Me too, not convinsed otherwise-
Read it a couple of years ago, before then I was smoking a pack a day for 15 years. I’ll never smoke again and I couldn’t be happier about it.
Used to smoke 2 packs a day, read the book, kept smoking, but after a few more months it just made click in my head, extinguished a cigarette half through and haven't had any trouble not smoking at all, completely easy going, was like i never smoked before
So if you don't quit instantly, just give yourself some time, you haven't failed just because you haven't stopped right after the book
Micheal Thanks for sharing your journey. One quesiton, Did you notice hair quality changing when you quit?
@@WakkereNederlander I'm not sure, I don't think so
But i both started and quit at young age, so i haven't had really any hair concern
Alright thanks anyway @@Michael-qv7pn
I read this book after watching this JR podcast. Didn't know it when I started reading it, but I had already had my last drink. 6 months no drinks and perfectly happy about it. It's not something I even have to think about anymore.
Congratulations. didn’t work for me
I quit tryna quit. That works
effectively too
The audiobook is more powerful in my opinion, I had to force myself to keep smoking till the end. He red pills you about smoking essentially
he calls it reverse brainwashing if i remember correctly. briliant book,
Only Americans fall for this shit
Exactly right about the effect, I read the book personally but towards the end of the book I really didn’t want to smoke even though he says not to quit until the book is finished 😂
His next book: “the easy way to stop smoking crack”
Yeah I can’t wait for that one to drop!
Read his easy way to quit smoking , haven't had a cigarette in over 12 years and I was smoking over a pack a day .
This book helped me too. I have stoped smoking after 20 years. In one day. Ot has been 7 months now without cigarette
Congrats💪, keep going! 12 yrs for me and still very hapy about it💃🏻
oh that's too bad. now your gonna live until your late 70s or 80s maybe even 90s. and your going to watch your self waist away little by little every day. your body will break down cognitive abilities. then in the end you'll be remembered for being febal weak and old. smoking is gonna kill me early so I won't have to deal with it. and when I get cancer. I will be remembered as tough and a fighter. legacy means everything. too bad for you.
@@MrChris7582dude really said “my ego is so big i wanna slowly kill myself so i look cool”
@@ploppyjr2373 no I just don't want to fade away. slowly. you won't remember who youre children are. or your wife. old and feeble. no thanks. once my good years are gone thats if for me. people too scared of death. we shouldn't be. everyone dies. I am perfectly fine with dying before I become demented.
I listened to the audiobook and it helped
This is probably just an advertisement
Helped isn't worked? Or did it work?
@@EonAlpha i did try that too, and it did work for me as well.. kinda blew my mind how a book set your mind in correct state to just quit, i'm able to set that specific mind set on my own, at the end i return to smoking, but that cause of my own stupidity, i could easily not do that
I quit smoking cold turkey on a thrusday 5 years ago. Had a pack a day for 10 years habbit. Other people still smoke around me, the guys id ride to work with still smoked. It didnt bother me, i didnt need a book, i didnt need to be hypnotized. I just decided i was done. Everyone has this power inside them. Most will never know it.
I finished the book and it was so good I had a drink to celebrate the fact I found a great book.
I smoked steadily pack a day for 17 years since I was 15. After loving it for years and finally being ready, I read this book almost to prove it wrong? And it completely helped me quit smoking forever. I can confidently be near a smoker or talk about the subject and know I won’t ever want another one again. Life changing.
I kept on asking my wife for permission to drink,
then one day she tells me,
“I give you permission not to drink”…
For some reason that made me laugh so much, that I accepted that as a reason to not drink. God I love her.. lol
we were at Costco passing the tequila..
Remember when men used to be men. asking permission 😂
So do you still ask?
After this video i need a cig and a glas of whiskey it stressed me out
Me to i may start smoking again
They should make a book on working
The easy way to STOP working! 😅
They do make a book, I'm working. They send it out to you every April.
Groovy thank you
I'll look in to that
They wouldn't read it.
I read allen carrs book to quit smoking. I was heavily addicted for 5 years. Quit cold turkey without any problems or relapses. If the thought of quitting ever crossed your mind do yourself a favor and order this book. Best decision i ever made.
There should be another one saying.. Easy way to not kill yourself
Killing yourself is not an addiction
But that’s kinda funny
Thank you for making this a short. I quit with Allen Carr in person group session. 6 hours and you're done. So easy after 17 years of smoking. You don't even have to try. It's a shame on the medical community they don't take it seriously.
Can’t tell if this is a satirical comment or not
@@ArizonaAkinTvit’s not. This book definitely works but Peterson didn’t explain it well.
@@ArizonaAkinTv It's not. Worked for me as well. Didn't think a book could help me quit when nothing else did. But it has been over 12 yrs now and I'm still so happy and thankful that I got rid of it.
I also did thr seminar and yesy 5.5 hours and I'd stopped smoking
@@joshf9074 do you think that was Michaela Peterson in that short 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Thank you dr. Carr. I quit smoking thanks to your book. And I did smoke that last cig. And it was even more cool tkat way.
Real addicts know they're addicted and there's no excuses, it is what it is...
It's not "it is what it is" human nature is being destined to change, you can do anything that is humanly possible if you will just try.
Thought the same, I don't really have any excuse for smoking
@@099las then don't
It is what it is ,is a copout. Such thinking is detrimental and only used by people who are weak minded
@@elad2054not “just try” but really want to, and keep trying
So I was wrong. This is a miracle book.
You buy this book, and by the time you're done reading it, you have quit your habit. The bottom line is it is your choice to do something or not? And I suppose this book gives you the will power to do so.
The book explains why you think you need a cigarette.
It's specifically not will power. It takes no will power at all.
the book removes brainwashing. No Willpower.
@@Flat-Whitethat does literally nothing to help you quit especially if you don't want to quit. Everyone with an addiction knows why we have that addiction and why we do it.
@@StoneyBaloney69
Ok great. You’ve tried everything. And now you’re face to face with a book that tells you the easy way. You’re arguing about why a book wont help you quit your addiction when you haven’t even read it. Why are you making excuses? What do you have to lose?
I've been reading this book for 7 years. Almost through the first chapter. It's so nice to drink while I read
This book was written for people who use alcohol as a coping mechanism, such as abusers/heavy abusers/the physically addicted etc. not for alcoholics.
Man having nicotine and caffeine for breakfast is the only thing I enjoy in life
Username… doesn’t.. checkout?
I'm with you on that 💯 legit. No one can talk to me unless I have a coffee in my hand and a cigarette in the other
@@Warrior_games666dats sad asf fr😂
Maybe get a life
@@BeforeThisNovember😂😂
Me too amazing 👏 stopped smoking! brilliant
The first 50 pages of the stop smoking book are about how good the book works. I was so irritated that i threw the book away and also never smoked a cigarette again.
the 50 pages really are that?
Paying money for a book that circle jerks itself would have me do pissed I’d roll a ciggie with its pages and smoke up!
I did this course in a roomful of people smoking and quit that day. I loved smoking. I was very sad because I had to breakup with a bad friend that was making life crappy. That’s was the key for me. I think it’s been 20 yrs now. ❤
Reading these comments gives me hope
Yup. The book totally helped me quit smoking. I was really skeptical but it actually worked. Just try it. You have nothing to lose.
I stopped smoking thanks to his book! I smoked for 8 years, now it's been 6 months since the last cigatette. Truly a blessing 🙌
I do not have any excuse. I feel like shit, I am tired, depressed, lost and I just want some chemicals in my brain to stop this feeling for a few seconds so I can get on with my life again.
thats an excuse
Yeah but i feel you man... you have to overcome withdrawal... after that its day at a time, fuck it go 15 minutes at a time, but you can stop, i was so heartbroken, my girl left me, i was in debt, didn't pay my rent, had to move, stopped working for a year and just took Xanax Valium, and OxyContin. But this february my new girlfriend talk me to go rehab, and since then i have been sober, 11months right now. My new girlfriend also left me and i don't have job right now, but im still feeling okay cuz im not wasted on benzos and opioids, you can stop. You just have to want to
my god. does internet not have any oither fucking soundtrack than this and the another wich is in every fucking video. Something fucking new once in fucking millenia TY
Ellen needs to read a book titled “How to treat your employees”
One prayer freed me from cigarettes; every time I would feel the temptation, the Holy Spirit would come upon me.
You must have been absolutely covered in gods Jizz by the end of it.
I'm glad a celestial bukkake helped.
Which prayer was it?
@@xavichuvy9047epic cringe atheist comment
My mom have quitted smoking thanks to that book 10 years ago, same my father. They gave it to their friends and they quitted too. Today as a smoker I’m starting to read it and I’m sure it will help me quit.
I stopped smoking because of Duolingo
I was super stoned and had a unit that kept telling me to stop smoking. I took it as a sign from the universe that something bad would happen if I didn’t stop lmao
Dumb reason, but good outcome lol
Smoked 17 year and tried to stop twice and managed for 6 months with the worst cravings and anger issues for at least 3 weeks. I then read the book, haven’t had a cigarette in 10 years. No cravings, no wish ever to smoke again. I would recommend this book to anyone.
The Allen Carr book on quitting smoking was amazing as well.
This is absolutely truth, I smoked from age 12 to 32. I didn't want to smoke anymore so I just stopped buying cigarettes and it was tough. After the second week, I bummed one, smoked half of it and got tired of it, two weeks later I bummed another one and realized I didn't like it anymore, that was in 2005. I haven't had a cigarette since. When I walk by other people that smoke I ask myself. I can't believe I used to smell like that.
I know there’s no science I just like it
What?
I can't imagine stopping drinking... Part of the pleasure of life. 🎉
Petition to write : "the easy way to stop scrolling"
smart
Literally
I read it. It worked perfectly. Last page, last cigarette and I quited with a big smile on my face. I danced and sung for 15 minutes straight after that. It was magical.
I stopped smoking, everything, after reading two of his books. My lungs are forever grateful to Allen Car (RIP)
the easiest way to stop drinking, its 300 blank pages and on the last page is one sentence "Your parents think drinking is cool." Bam. Instantly never want to touch alcohol again.
If that works on you, you're probably still 12 and don't drink anyway
This book also cured my cancer and made me win the lottery.
You too? Damn...
Yes true, I read book about smokingi stopped smoking. Then read book about drinking, well I stopped drinking also. Over a year ago.
Me, who has never smoked and will never smoke: "Wow, I need that book 🗿"
My dad was a smoker for 40 years...he tried everything to quit...reading this book did it
Totally on board and have lots of love for a person who can stop anything detrimental by reading a book. However, you’d be lucky to get a true addict to put on his/her shoes in the morning let alone get them to sit still and read a book. High octane problems require high octane solutions.
It may work for people who are easily manipulated, but if your mind is stronger than that of other people, the only thing to make you stop is you.
The best way to stop drinking is to never start in the first place👍
Makes no sense. How can you stop drinking if you never started drinking in the first place? You cant.
@@Chaotic_Observer the same way you swore abstinence even though you were never gonna get laid in the first place
@@beefyboi.230 what are you on about?
@@Chaotic_Observer idk lol I'm just having a laugh mate
@@beefyboi.230 😶 k
50 years ago I stopped smoking because of this book! Worth every penny 💰
This is how I stopped smoking!! I was smoking 2 packs of Marlboro Reds, and over a bottle of wine, I read the book and quit. She's right: at the end of the book, he writes "if you aren't already smoking, light a cigarette" and I couldn't! The thought of lighting one seemed so repulsive I couldn't do it. There were no side effects, no weight gain, not a single withdrawal.
This book saved me.
She the type of person to tell a homeless person to just buy a house.
An addict will not kick their addiction until they themself want to quit. They'll never quit because someone else wants them to. I started smoking at 14. 43 years later (2009) I decided to quit my pack and half a day habit. No gum, no patches, no pills, just me and my determination to kick the habit. Non smokers often become non skinny. So 2 years ago I started riding a bike 6 miles a day and watching what I ate. Lost 83 lbs that year. @71 I still ride that bike when the weather is nice.
"How did this book work for you"
"I saw that a bunch of celebrities read a different book"
"A piece of paper cant decide my future"
A counter to his counter arguments
I’ve read this book really helps. I’ve stopped smoking and only do crystal meth now
I real the one for smoking. I can't explain it.. it just works. It's incredible
“Go have a cig”
“Ok”
*puffs vape in room*
I quit smoking 20 years ago and I still recommend this book. It's magic. For real.
I don't want to quit drinking....ever...love it...everything about it...wether it kills me or not...dgaf
He turned his stop smoking book into a ds game it’s wild
I read this book and quit smoking after 20 years. Its amazing for real.
My husband did the smoking one and it worked.
I listened to the audiobook almost 4 yrs sober now.
I actually stopped smoking thanks to that book. His method helps for anything you want to stop doing.
Wow crazy that people have been researching addiction for centuries but this one guy found the cheat code to fix everyone without any effort. Never heard that story before.
I used the stop smoking book and went from about 20 a day to zero and have been smoke free for three years…
and I haven’t become one of those people who think they’re better than others who haven’t stopped…
And I regularly socialise with smokers who smoke in front of me and I have no cravings to smoke at all…
I’m actually not that big a reader so I got the audiobook and listened to it while cleaning the house
This Alan guy needs to make, “How to not disappoint your father@
Literally read the book a week ago, I'm just as happy that I could drink while reading. Now I read more often while drinking.
