The Book

I'm just beginning to read the Allen Carr book, and I was struck HARD by this sentence:

"The whole business of smoking is like wearing tight shoes just to obtain the pleasure you feel when you take them off."

WOW. Yes. We called it pleasure when it really was just trying to fill that empty restless feeling that nicotine caused in the first place.  MIND = BLOWN.

I became nicotine-free on Christmas Day 2017. That's what I use as my quit date. I had smoked cigarettes for 45 years, then vaped Juuls for a few months before quitting cold turkey when I used up my supply of pods. I am a retired widow, living in Upstate NY.
