Approx 6/7 years back 3 of us (mum, bro in law and myself) all quit new years eve. Mum had got us the books for ch.., "off santa". Unknown to us, Mum had started again after a few months. Bro in law n Mum lived close by. I visited after 6 months having quit and she confessed she'd started again (im not giving the reason why). I gave in there and then after 6 months. I had done it just as easily as giving up smoking ganja (been on that for 16 years daily) Bro in law to the day still hasnt had a fag since.
Mum got diganosed feb 05 with throat n lung cancer, died oct 05.
He can't cure everybody you have to want to do it yourself but I promise anybody who reads this, if you want to do it you will and getting hold of one of his books will help you big time.
Im going to have another go this new years eve, not because of the money (I smoke imported rollies), not for Mum, not for my daughter but due to new legistation due in next year. I suppose its a mixture of all the reasons mentioned and not just the last one to be fair.
Id say that within my family and those that have tried quitting using his book that I passed the book onto he has a 80% success rate. His logics are simple. Theres a tobacco monster in your stomach, feed it and it will live. Its an addiction but nobody has ever woken up in the middle of the night as they need a fag, where as when awake most people cant go an hour without one or so they like to think.
I cant emphasise how good his books are, so this Christmas if your stuck for a present which costs the same as a cd, by somebody one of his books that you love and see if you can help save a life.
