About the Book
You can quit smoking! It is not impossible!
I use to say, "I don't want to quit smoking" I asked myself, "What if this was the addiction?" I then thought, I want to, want to quit. What could make you want to quit?
My biggest motivation came from not wanting to be controlled by this nicotine. I wanted to be in charge. This book is about how to transform one's thinking while simultaneously getting ready to quit.
"This book gives you a step-by-step plan that will show you how to get ready to quit. Quitting smoking is like going into battle. With this plan in place you will be ready to win!
You will learn how to develop your willpower and tap into an incredible source of "Self-Power." This plan shows you exactly what to do.
How to Quit Smoking Even If You Don't Want To is in textbook format with ten brainstorming exercises you must do. People who smoke are often on "auto-pilot-thinking." This plan interrupts the "auto-pilot" and shows you how to re-write the script.
It is true that you do not have to want to quit smoking but you do have to want to change something about how you make decisions. It is not complicated. As a matter of fact it is all very easy. By doing the exercises and following through with the plan you will "see" exactly what is holding you on to cigarettes. When you "see" what is keeping you addicted it becomes a whole lot easier to let go. This book will show you how to eliminate 75% of the nicotine fits, if not more. When you are all done the brainstorming exercises you will have made a one-of-a-kind, custom-made tool that will tell you what to think, when to think it, what to do and when, and how to act and how not to act. You will use this tool when you open your last pack.
I often hear people say, "I have tried everything." My response is, "Have you looked in the mirror?" The answers lie inside you, not in the drugstore. This book is about transforming yourself from the inside. Some of the exercises can help you change other areas of your life that you are not completely satisfied with.
My plan and method is about transforming your mind into one that can do what it could not do before. This is a serious subject with a twist of humor. I am sure you will enjoy it!
Do not be afraid of trying to quit smoking. Be afraid of what will happen if you do not!
Be free! Go for it!

They'll tell you that in order to quit smoking you have to want to. You must, however, admit you are willing to change. Quitting smoking is about changing, period. In order to change you must have a plan. What are you going to do first? This book is the master plan that will help you to get started.
The first segment allows you to continue to smoke while you examine what obstacle you might encounter when quitting, such as your ritual cigarettes Also, what do you find is the most difficult part of quitting? What is the best time to quit? What could motivate you to change? That question and more are dealt with. You will learn how to be a happy nonsmoker. Getting ready is an important part of this program. How can you do anything if you are not ready?
In the seconded segment I'll tell you one of my favorite secrets, one I highly recommend, even though many quit smoking programs do the opposite. This secret can help you deal with approximately 75% of your withdrawal episodes. You'll have to trust me on this one. Try it and you'll see that I'm right. Also in this segment you'll learn why many smokers procrastinate and you'll learn about will power. You don't have to worry if you don't have any because I'll show you how to get it, grow it and fine-tune it.
You'll have to look at and examine your beliefs that make you who you are. You will uncover what really motivates you. It does take some effort to do this work but I assure you it is better than the effort it takes to live and die with cancer. I will also share one of my most powerful visualization strategies that did wonders for my motivation. It scared the heck out of me! At this point you will anticipate quitting.
Part three of my program is where you will learn about the power of suggestion and a never before seen type of self-hypnosis. For those skeptics out there, please give this a chance because it's different from what you might expect. This whole program is about learning and changing from within. When you're finished you will end up with a one of a kind product made for you and by you. Throughout this program you will have to do several exercises that will give you all the information you need to make a one of a kind audio. This book contains my exact script that could help you with creating yours.
It will in fact be the most effective tool you'll need to get you through the tough times. When you're finished all the exercises in this book you'll have something concrete you can carry with you. I give very specific instructions on how to create this program. There is no wrong way to make this except not to make it.
Because this is not a cold turkey program you will have a formula for your final days as a smoker. This powerful formula makes quitting more comfortable than you could ever imagine. So do not dread quitting. By the time you get to this part you'll see and feel how easy it can be. I hope along the way you enjoy the humour.
For those of you who say you don't want to quit smoking please see page 45 (below) I understand how you feel about not wanting to quit. This section will shape you into the person who will choose to make empowering decisions.
When you have finished the exercises in this section, go back to the beginning of the book. For those of you with even a small desire to quit, please read this book in the order it was written, as this is a step by step plan that start now. Good luck, get ready and hang on. You're going on a ride that will change everything!
