I am 27, and have been smoking for 11-12 years now (almost a pack a day and tried to quit multiple times). I am so disgusted by smoking, but so addicted.

I am starting to smell smokers. Like, a lot. Everywhere I go. From like, 20 feet. I never noticed it before. Was I just accustomed to the smell? Or was I literally unable to smell it?

Part of Allen Carr's method is to actively think about what the nicotine is doing for you as you take it in. Really feel for it.

18 months of being released from the prison of nicotine addiction. I have saved over $20,000 (Australia) and I’ve never felt better. What helped me the most was saying ‘this craving will pass just like the last one’. If I can do this, so can you!4yr ⋅ PrincessMay ⋅ r/stopsmoking
