oh yea!!! I will send it out to you as soon as I can. I hope you read it all. I am sure by the time you finish you will WANT to quit! Then you need to give it to someone you know who smokes because you won't need the book anymore. THen maybe you'll start jogging to work :-) I actually used to get headaches several times a week. I'd wake up with neck pains almost every morning. It would take 2 cups of coffee and a good hour each morning in order for me to get moving and be talkative. Since I quit, I haven't had ONE headache. In over a month, not one! I haven't woken up with a sore neck since the day after I quit! I drink only 1 cup of coffee and haven't had a Starbucks, Caribou or Dunn brothers since I quit (I used to drink 1 almost every day!) I also get up at 6 am every morning no matter what time I go to bed, and I have so much energy and can't wait to get out to run and play. It's really unbelievable how good I feel. Anyhow, I'll stop cuz I know how annoying I must sound. I'll send to you soon. Glad you accept it! |

Thank you for the hug, I'll accept. However, I won't need the book anymore. You are supposed to give it to someone you care about out who smokes and they are willing to read a little book. I've been getting together with my family every week and they all still smoke. I still have no desire, no urges, no cravings, no withdrawal pangs. None since I quit because of the book. I see smoking entirely different now. It is not something I miss or long for. I see smokers as people who want to be non smokers and I feel lucky. I don't feel like I'm missing out on something when I see people smoking. I feel (this will sound pompous) bad for people who smoke now. Like I know a secret they don't, but it's so easy to figure out. 6 weeks. |

Got it Friday, will start it on Monday. (Need a few hours to detox from the Ween show.) Thanks Jez, I mean that. I'll keep you posted on the outcome.

Good luck to you. I hope it works for you. If it doesn't, oh well. Maybe you weren't ready. But I think you are. I think you don't like being a smoker anymore. :-) |

Were it not for the myriad of health impacts, I'd smoke like a friggin' chimmney to be honest with you, but I don't expect the medical findings to change anytime soon. I'll keep you posted. |
