Allen Carrs EASY WAY to stop SMOKING? -
My bf is 24 and has mild emphysema as he-s been smoking for over 10 years, smoking once /hr or so.He keeps trying to stop and now he-s into smoking black - milds, ...i think he-s doing this because he feels like he wants to quit but doesnt want to feel guilty when he does smoke, so he just gets one smoking-item instead of going through several, despite that he-s still smoking the same amount of tobacco, etc...
anyway, I bought him the -Easy way- audio book and I was thinking of giving it to him with some cigarettes.
I thought about doing this for 2 reasons.
1. the book encourages you to not feel deprived of having cigarettes and says you can even smoke while listening to the CD
2. though the book allows for cigarette smoking, I doubt he-ll actually give in and buy a pack bc he-ll feel guilty....so I want to help him get out of this mental rut associated with trying to quit so he can do so w/o feeling deprived....so, I-ll just provide them
IF YOU KNOW ABOUT THE -Easy Way- do you think that providing him with the cigarettes will be a good idea? or do you not think that it will have any effect?
I came out of an eating disorder not too long ago and learned that self-deprivation sometimes can make quitting a bad habit worse.....so I really want to help him out since he seems a bit conflicted with his situation.
ANY advice would be great! THANKSI didnt/barely read your question, only the title (Yes I know..ignorant eh?)
Anyway, if you want to stop smoking.
Don-t go out and buy the most recent version of a book written by a complete dope..
Edit:
I glanced through your question, and to be honest matey.
Everyone has their own way of stopping.
That is no more true than in Drugs.
And obv cig-s are drugs so...
Let him find his own way.
The idea of an audio book is ok.
But if it doesnt work don-t stop trying.
It just takes something small to click inside a smokers ideology about smoking to get the right message.Ah mate, for all the smokers, and now non smokers, that I know (a brave few), there isn-t one that said -Right, im not smoking after today, and that-s it!!- And actually did it.
It takes a good few tries, some people I know even had about 6 tries giving up smoking in their lives so far. ^.^
