I was addicted to smoking and was desperate to quit. I tried several methods and all of them failed. After several failed attempts , I really feared that I'd remain a smoker all my life. I was lucky to find the book 'The only way to stop smoking permanently' by Allen Carr and found it surprisingly easy to quit smoking after reading the book.

All one needs to do to quit smoking (or any other substance dependence ) is to basically do nothing - just not have that next drag(or sip) ever. However, it cannot be done unless one reaches a mental state where that particular action not only seems the right thing to do, but it is also the easiest thing to do. Reaching this mental state is not a process, it won't take days or months. It happens in an instant when one knows exactly what one needs to know to reach and then be in that state forever. The book helped me reach that state.
