      The Quit Smoking Guidebook - Kevin Baker

      review.

      Introduction

      It took me seven attempts to stop smoking and was undoubtedly the hardest thing I have ever done in my lifetime. My last cigarette was smoked four years ago and the benefits to my health and wallet have been enormous.

      I never did buy into the It's easy, just use willpower general mindset and still think that this is generally just BS, apart from a few lucky individuals who do in fact find it easy. The obvious truth still remains for most people that stopping smoking is hard, extremely hard, but it is also doable . . . it is possible; although it will take more than just the vague term willpower to go up against nicotine. It will take an overhauled mindset, as well as thinking outside of the box and pop culture's hackneyed viewpoints about smoking.

      In this book I want to present concise tips and methods to help you stop smoking for good. This book will present you with many new viewpoints and ways to help you stop. Some methods you will have heard about already, but there will be many tips that will be new to you. Everyone is different and people stop smoking every day in various ways, so I hope that you will find many helpful tips in this book to go to war against your addiction to nicotine and dominate this cruel oppressor.

      My hat goes off to you as you are taking the first step toward eradicating nicotine dependency from your life to gain freedom. I wish you all the success in the world in eliminating nicotine from your life and really hope that these tips will help you, as well as being a valuable weapon in fighting off addiction.

      Never Give Up Trying to Give Up

      Make a promise to yourself and your loved ones right now to never give up trying to give up. It may take you 3 attempts, 7 attempts as it took for me or even 20 attempts, but please do not stop trying to stop. You will find your way, you just have to be tenacious, like a dog which will not let
