How to Quit Smoking and Save Your Life

Book Description Publication Date: Feb 1, 2015 What would it mean to your life if you could quit smoking forever? For starters it would mean an extra 7 to 15 years of life itself due to the elimination of a very high risk of lung cancer, heart disease and emphysema. It would also mean a lot more money in your pocket. Every smoker I know knows that and they wish more than anything that they could become... an ex-smoker. We all know that quitting smoking is hard to do but did you know that over 90% of the people who try to quit, don't make it - that smoking kills half the people who do it. But... the fact that you smoke is not your problem... As a smoker, what do you think your real problem is? Your problem is not the fact that you smoke. Sure, that will cause you some other problems if you do not quit smoking but a smoker's most pressing problem is the fact that, they can't quit smoking. Solve that problem and the rest of the problems go away. Why can't smokers quit? Most smokers think they can't quit because they've got a bad habit or they're addicted to doing it. But that's not why they can't quit smoking. That's why they smoke! They can't quit smoking because they don't know how to quit smoking. Think about it for a second. Just about everything you have ever done in your life, you had to learn how to do before you could actually succeed at doing it. From walking to driving a car, from learning how to count to getting around 18 holes of a golf course in less than 100 strokes... these are all things you had to learn how to do in order to achieve any measure of success at doing them. And when it comes to quitting smoking you have to succeed at the 100% level: you either do it or you fail... completely. So what should a smoker who wants to quit do? That's easy. Learn how to quit smoking before you try to do it! That's right... quitting smoking is a learnable skill... just like every other skill you have learned and developed over the years. "Caveat emptor..". You weren't ready man! During the years I smoked and tried to quit, I became frustrated by the universal "caveat" that came with the smoking cessation products and programs that I wasted my time and money on. They all stated something like, "In order for this product or program to be effective, you need to be 'ready' to do it." That way when I failed - as I always did - they could say, "Hey - you just weren't ready to do it and see - it says right here in the fine print that you have to be ready to do it or it won't work. Too bad you just didn't get yourself ready to succeed at quitting smoking forever or it would have worked." But sadly, there was very little real-world, street-smart advice about how to actually do that. Until now... Here's the first thing a smoker needs to know about succeeding at quitting smoking forever... There is nothing - have you got that? Nothing! - more essential to your success at quitting smoking forever than the act of preparing yourself to do it. I see smokers make the mistake of not being well prepared to quit smoking all the time. Heck I did it over 70 times myself. Until I finally learned how to get myself ready to quit, I was like a guy who really wanted to win the Masters Golf tournament and thought I could do it by just buying a great set of clubs. Then when I failed, I blamed the clubs and not the fact that I had absolutely no idea about how to use them. Before you try to quit smoking, take some time to learn how to do it. My book, "How To Quit Smoking and Save Your Life" will teach the five easy-to-learn but very necessary skills to prepare yourself to succeed at quitting smoking forever. It will also give you the confidence and motivation to use your new skills. Remember this: One of the hardest decisions you'll ever make in your life is deciding whether to walk away or try harder. You'll never regret the fact that you decided not to walk away from quitting smoking.
