5.0 out of 5 stars Most Important Component of My Quit, April 30, 2000
By Stephen Remer (Acworth, GA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have now been an ex-smoker for almost two years. I smoked 3.5 packs of cigarettes a day for twenty-five years. This little book of short, focused readings absolutely revolutionized the way I thought about the process of quitting, the cravings, the mental gyrations, etc., that all quitters are intimately familiar with.

I believe that this book was more of a factor in my success than the nicotine gum or Zyban, both of which helped immensely. After four failures (never lasting over three months), this book changed my THINKING and THAT was the real key to success. If there was a 100 star rating, I'd give it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Support for a new way of thinking, December 18, 2000
By A Customer
This book is not a how-to-quit book, but rather a how-to-stop-deluding-yourself-about-smoking book. It gives you the tools to think honestly about smoking again (after years of addictive thinking), about the struggle involved, and how to master it. I found it enormously helpful in reorienting my thinking, so that when I wanted to slip back into smoking, I was able to talk myself out of it and refocus on what I really wanted: to remain smoke-free. Also, unlike many quit smoking books, it doesn't talk down to smokers, but rather helps you feel positive and hopeful about the quitting process.

5.0 out of 5 stars Out of Ashes, February 9, 2000
This is an excellent resource for folks who have stopped smoking or are planning to stop. There are absolutely no do's and don'ts (no nagging). This is a portable book that can be taken with you everywhere for excellent motivational tips. I take it to work, school, and read a couple pages before bed. This is not a preachy type book thats what makes it so nice, it's written by two people who have stopped smoking for today. I highly recommend this book!
