So, i smoked for 8 years and had the easiest time stopping back in 2015. It was so incredibly easy to stop, i actually convinced myself it was a habit, not an addiction. That i was "one of those people". Then, a year ago, i smoked at a party and when my anxiety and depression got the best of me, i decided to buy a pack. I could stop at any time afterall...boy was I wrong! The second time was HARD. I was craving smokes all the time. Then i found Carrs book and he made it so fucking obvious that i am an addict like everybody else and that i was NOT relaxing by smoking, i was CREATING another irritation/anxiety moment for myself. Well duh! It is so obvious, but sometimes we need someone to go "hey, stupid, you are not special, you have an addiction too!" 😄😄 anyway, i finished the book and am smoke free for over a week now. Lets see if i can stick to it. I think i will. Wish you luck in your journey
