Quit Smoking Today: Without Gaining Weight

I really like Paul McKenna. I ordered this because it said it came with a CD (it does not). The downloadable version can only be listened to on a web page (cannot download to computer). Besides, the reason I ordered this was so could listen to the CD in the bedroom (not everyone has mobile devices!). Does it work? Time will tell (considering returning the book because of the lack of CD).

God Bless you Paul!!! My husband and I both have been smoke free for 6 months now. I have been a smoker and wasting my money for over 3 decades and my husband has smoked for almost 40 years. We were very skeptical but purchased "Quit Smoking Today". My husband was smirking and smoking a cigarette when he started reading Paul McKenna's book. That was the last cigarette he smoked. We listened to the CD twice a day for two weeks. It took me three days longer to quit than my husband, but honestly I never thought I could quit. I figured I would take my last breath holding a cigarette. The money that we have saved by not smoking went towards the purchase of 2 new bikes. We completed a 20 mile ride last night. If you would have told me that six months ago that I could bicycle 20 miles without a stop at the ER I would have called you CRAZY! Buy this book if you want to stop smoking. It works!!!Follow up: 2 years later and still smoke free! We broke our record last fall riding our bikes on a 50 mile ride!

I purchased this book wtih high hopes for some effective changes in my tobacco dependency let's call it. His advice is sound but he's also a die hard hypnotist and I'm on the fence about hypnotism most of the time. I downloaded the little guided session he provides to use in conjunction with the book. Not blaming him for my failure to benefit from his wisdom but just as with the "not one more puff" guy both of them are lifelong non smokers and have no idea what it's like to wake up one day and realize you're in a situation called "addiction" and you don't know what you need on a personal level to break free of it. The truth is the book is sitting unused and I am still in the same boat as I was before. Don't know if it's him or me or maybe a little bit of both.

I have held off on committing until I had time to see if it works.¡¡LOVE the hypnosis --- That part is GREAT!!The first time I listened to the CD, after reading the book of course, I was really excited because I actually found myself puffing my pipe but one time the whole day!My son listened as well and instantly cut back on the amount of cigarettes he normally smokes in a days time.However, when I listen the second time it seems to have acted in reverse ...lolI began puffing my pipe more!Why?I wrote an e-mail to Mr McKenna, but no return reply.I will return to update my review---

I found it helpful. I threw all I could into the attack, because I couldn't breathe anymore and it was debilitating. I also used EFT ("tapping.") It wasn't easy, but I COULD do it. I DID do it! I quit. 9 weeks now. I know I am over the hump. I tap when I get cravings (not often, now, but there were days when I tapped a whole lot!) and I read this book and I listened to the hypnosis CD every day for 2.5 weeks. The hypnosis added a new weapon to tapping and it felt good to be backed up with several methods. The book is beautifully written and extremely shrewd, showing how a very well-informed performer/salesman has a much better take on the psychology involved than many health professionals.

This is amazing. I've tried to quit smoking so many times, using so many different methods that never worked for long. I've smoked for over 40 years. Using this book and audio tape I quit smoking 6 weeks ago, and have had very few cravings or desire to smoke. And I feel so good. This is a completely different approach. He is helping you to "feel good about living without cigarettes"! So instead of missing it you're happy that you're no longer interested. I know 6 weeks smoke free may not be a long time, but it's the longest I've ever quit, and I believe I'm done with it.And I've only gained 1 pound.

On TV I saw a small segment of Paul helping a woman lose weight. I listened to his suggestions and tried it and actually gave up wine. I hadn't even read the book! So when I found his Quit Smoking book I bought it right away. I smoked my last cigarette on a Sunday afternoon read his book that night and listened to his cd Monday morning. I haven't had a cigarette since. You must be dilegent by listening to the 25 minute tape for 2 weeks, but it is worth it. There are also tips in the book as to what to do when you get a craving, and you will, but they go away quickly. My son is very proud of me and I hope to be around a lot longer to enjoy my grandson. I highly recommend this book.

I have not had the opportunity to use the cd that came with the book (which was a surprise in itself -- I did not know it was included!). The book is written in very easy to read and understand style with many exercises to do as you progress. I must admit that I read the excercises, but did not really do them. Still, even with my lack of totally using the tools that I received, I find myself not liking my smokes nearly as much as I did, being more conscious of each time I light up and putting them out after just a puff or two. I am sure that once I actually do what I am supposed to do, the title of the book will be absolutely accurate and I will quit in one day without gaining weight.

I bought this with the full intention of using it at some point. It then gut stuffed away in a cupboard and forgotten abput. I was a smoker 0f 40 cigarettes a day for over 20 years.Fast forward a few months and I'm having one of my habitual quit attempts using patches, only this time I am having really bad agitation and withdrawal.I found the book and CD in the cupboard, put the CD on and fell asleep.When I woke up, I threw the nicotine patch away and have not had a cigarette for 40 days.I'm not going to lie and say it was easy. The first week, I certainly had cravings and had to listen to the CD every day to relieve the anxiety. Also, I have definitely put on 10kg from over eating.But.... the most important part is that I have finally stopped smoking, I have had so many failed attempts over the years using NET, Allan Carr etc... this is the first one I've come across that actually works.I'm going to try the gastric band one now th deal with the weight I've gained

Listened as instructed for 14 evenings-think it was the 2nd day i stopped-smoked for almost 40 years!!!! Why didn’t i do this before? Maybe I wasn’t ready? But i am free of this addiction-been 3 months now-attended parties,weddings etc etc and not once have i been bothered at all-the smoker in me was a different person and has been banished forever-if you’re serious about it-buy this-listen and achieve-Thanks Paul McKenna

Bought for my wife who has smoked for 30 years. She has tried hypnosis which worked for a month. Tablets which sent her bonkers ,patches, alan carr etc. Wasnt optimistic. Book is very thin. She read it in no time. Fell asleep every night listening to the disc. Hasn't smoked foe 10 months. Unbelievable. She gives me grief if i have one on a night out!!!!!

Can’t download the audio for the book, as it keeps coming up server error, so pretty disappointing, as each chapter tells you to listen to the audio for 2 weeks, I will continue with the book, and if need be read it again.....why can’t you purchase the book along with a CD or something ......pretty disappointed

It gives you a link to follow to get access to the audio CD that accompanies this book but it doesn't exist! So no point i. It then! Now trying to find out how to get a refund!
