Re: My last resort
The smoking book worked for me, I quit just like that and so did my boss who told me about the book 60+ a day.
I think that the behavoiur modification also helped in quitting the booze although no doubt my health issues also helped with that.
It cetrainly changes your view on smoking after reading the book. For example I had a wry smile to myself when coming back from Greece and watching everyone buying their "duty free" allowance of cigarettes to save money. When they could save all that money and more by stopping smoking as I had by then
Anyway good luck which ever method you use. I got a copy of the easy way to control your drinking by Alan Carr but never got around to reading all of it. One of the things I think he does say in it is don't read it if you are too drunk to understand it.
