For me, it was absolutely 100% true that the anti smoking got in my head. The marketing blitz done by quit smoking aids truly makes it appear that quitting smoking is the most difficult thing in the world to do. It was a huge mental block in my head without a doubt. Hearing other people that are close to me and their issues with quitting, it appears its the same. Reading Allen Carrs book completely eliminated that mental block. The book just made me look at quitting smoking differently. Once I realized how weak the cravings literally were and that it really isn't that hard to do, it just finally made sense.

This was 11pm last night.

I'll remember that last cigarette. The whole process behind, and what that cigarette meant. Almost two years later and it is definitely a great moment in my life.
