‘How to stop smoking without quitting’
In this book, John English who writes that he was a smoker for 50 years, sets out his method for kicking the nicotine habit. At the time of writing this book, John English has been a non-smoker for 7 years, so this method has clearly worked for him.
Breaking the nicotine addiction is hard, whatever the reasons we each have for choosing to do so. Many of us quit more than once, as did John English. Many of us try a raft of different methods in seeking to break free of this habit, and no single method works for everyone.
So what makes the method in this book stand out? Why might this method be worth trying for those about to consider breaking the smoking habit? Simply, the attraction is that the smoker uses his or her own resources and doesn’t smoke – one day at a time. In John English’s case, one day at a time is now over seven years. Personally, I think that is the key. One day at a time: each day we live is part of a greater whole, but when fighting demons (and addictions) one day at a time is the way to do it.
Well worth considering if you want to stop smoking. Sometimes the best answers are simple ones.
