Hi @blhardin and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.
Not every book is for everyone. We are all so different. That's why I say the only way to quit smoking is the one that works for you!
The reason I liked the book so much is the psychology behind addiction. It was fascinating to me, and I really like the visual image Allen Carr painted using the little monster inside your brain commanding you to smoke.
I also like learning about how nicotine addiction is so different than others and the physical addiction to them is such a tiny part. Practically none...it's all in our heads.
The withdrawal from nicotine is very mild physically. It does not hardly register. Whereas in alcohol addiction, you have real physical withdrawals that you can actually die from.
I'm glad to hear that you have at least tried to read his book.
Are there any other sources you have tried to learn from about quitting smoking that you can share?
Are you still smoking?
