I think its called Allan carrs quit smoking, i will have a look when my uncle gets home and let you know.
I was abit skeptical and never thought it would work for DF, hes almost a 2 pack a day smoker and instantly gone to none. ------------- ~ Mummy to a beautiful girl ~ |

The book is good also. It helped me when I was struggling to quit when we first fell Pregnant. Still want a ciggy though.....:( Oh well, hopefully the cravings will go away someday..... ------------- http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wyI1oWn/">

Yep I second the book. While I haven't used it, my sister has and has been smokefree for coming up a year, another friend for 5 years. Didn't work for BIL though - you do have to be in the right frame of mind for it to work long term.
Good on you all!

I gave up smoking as soon as i found out i was pregnant - and haven't started again (so far . . .) the Allan Carr book is really good and he makes a lot of very good points about cravings coming from habit rather than addiction ------------- |

That's great congratulations! I found the book really good too but the issue for many of my family is actually reading it, start to finish, a DVD might be more helpful. -------------

The dvd is only an hour long and it just makes you realize what smoking is in ways you didnt think of before, really hard to explain.
I still feel like a smoke every now and then though. ------------- ~ Mummy to a beautiful girl ~ |
