    About this ebook

    After giving up smoking on four previous occasions for two lots of four years,and one for two years,and then one for only ten months.
    I realized where i was going wrong.I actually thought i liked smoking,so when i realized that it was an addictive drug called nicotine,i thought it was about time i treated this this addiction seriously.So i thought about it for a few weeks and worked out a plan of action,that i would carry out to the end,and never want to take up smoking again.
    As id used many different ways previously to stop smoking,i thought why not come up with an idea that combined three different methods to work in conjunction with each other.A three pronged attack.
    First phase; would be self hypnosis-dead Easy honest.
    Second phase;Do it in a slow and methodical & controlled way
    Third phase;Using basic maths to come off it slowly but surely.

      Quit Smoking - P.J. Darnbrough

      A TICKET TO RIDE

      When we arrived in Sydney Australia by Qantas in a Boeing 747 which ended up a turbulent free flight. I was allowed to stand in the cockpit for a few minutes and ask a few pertinent questions and it felt awesome, a great experience never to be forgotten. We were taken to a holding house in which we had to stay for three months. Problem was we had to be in by nine p. m. so this was proving a little ponderous to us so we decided that after Rob got a fulltime job we would move out and rent an apartment. As Rob was the only one of us to remember to bring all his documents with job references he ended up with a job first, on the buses as a conductor. We ended up in a townhouse in Paddington which was a two bedroom house. We were both nineteen years of age and we emigrated to Australia on a ten pound assisted package. For the first three weeks Rob looked after me financially paying for food, rent and cigarettes. I had only started smoking at the age of eighteen and it was also at the same time I had my first pint of bitter. I actually had a half of bitter with a bottle of brown ale which I mixed into the half. It was in the Elizabethan Hall at Belle Vue where the notorious Jimmy Savile was the resident D. J. Eventually I got a job as a conductor on the buses as well. At least it was a start for us and we were on our way on a new adventure. Rob would go on to be a mental health nurse in Callan Park hospital and I would go on to join the Railways department in Darling Harbour as a clerk. I went on to do relief work after gaining internal qualifications which would enable me to work in booking offices and goods yards. It was good to be travelling all over New South Wales and ending up at places like for instance, Gunnedah, Tamworth, Burke and then back to Sydney where I was offered a new job in the posh Maquarie Street as an accounts clerk in a whole new set up that was computerised. I was earning good money and enjoyed the work for several years until after a separation with my first wife decided to get on with my life and move back to the UK. We had three children together and that made it very difficult to leave but I had to make a decision one way or the other as I was then very unhappy with life in general. So Manchester won my heart back, and I’m happy now and I feel I made the right decision for the time. The great thing is that I have a great relationship with my children still as we’ve kept in contact through all the years gone by. My family certainly helped me get through.

      A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE

      You have to have the right mentality to stop smoking. People who are weak willed or just plain whingers wouldn’t stand a chance of quitting smoking. Most of those people are normally low in confidence and esteem. Show me a person who’s glass is always half full and i’d tell you that that person would be capable of quitting smoking if they put their mind to it. I used to get them coming into the pub always complaining that life was against them and nothing in life was fair. Life is precious. I have actually talked some customers out of committing suicide by keeping them back at night and talking to them for hours advising them of the good things in life and to concentrate on them and not the negative side of life. You have a lot to live for and it’s always good to always look on the bright side of life. One of my regulars was found in his bed by his mam who couldn’t wake him and his father walked in an hour later and I had to tell him to get home fast and that he should take his friend with him as his wife had just rang with some very bad news. The sad thing was on that last night he ended up going to another pub before he took his own life, I think he did that on purpose as I would have talked him out of it. He was only 28 years old and I must admit when i’d finished my shift that day I went upstairs and told my wife and broke down crying.

      To guide you through to the end, and quit smoking my way the slow way. Some of you might cheat and go straight to the end of the book and read the last pages and just read the method and how it works to quit smoking. But I would urge you to read the book from cover to cover and you will understand why you are stopping smoking and also learn how to keep off it.

      Aesops fables tells us that the tortoise had a race with the hare. The hare was saying that he was faster than the tortoise and the hare ended up taking a rest and the tortoise overtook him and crossed the finishing line as the winner. The moral of this story is always walk before you can run. The slow way is the best way.

      George Burns the American comedian lived to 100 years of age and smoked cigars for eighty of them. When smokers hear stories like that it gives them an excuse to carry on smoking, but let me tell you this, he was a one off, you don’t hear a lot of stories like that because they don’t normally happen. So no more excuses please, just get serious. Smokers who know why they smoke will find it easier to stay off the cigarettes when they finally quit smoking because they understand especially after reading this book why they started in the first place and understand why they are still smoking. They won’t even feel the need for one cigarette or a celebration cigar for the birth of a baby because they won’t feel like one or the need of one because they’ve achieved success the right way and are not suffering withdrawal pangs beause they’ve used my method to quit and it’s pain free. When you start the plan, you will know from the beginning that when you finish my method, you will not be suffering with those nasty withdrawal pangs, because of the way you are doing it.
