THIS IS A REPOST: The seminar/scam is set for Sunday and I am worried...what if I don't succeed? $400 is a lot of money to prove you can't quit. Besides, I already know I can't quit! Nevermind...nothing to do but do it.
I have signed up for Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking.
Sounds like a scam, don't it? Yep, that's what I thought. But my niece keeps pushing me to because she knows more than a few people who have successfully quit after attending this 5 hour seminar.
I checked with her "source" and found that the seminar is not at the Air Canada Centre with 400 other people but is held in small groups of 15-20 people. Apparently (yes, I'm still skeptical) the group leader uses techniques of cognitive behavioural therapy to help you "see" your way to quitting. The "source" says that by the end of the session, when he was asked to go have one last cigarette, he didn't even finish this last cigarette. He has never had a craving for the evil weed since even though he is around people who smoke.
Here's the kicker: MIracles don't come cheaply. The cost of the seminar in Toronto is $424. Thats right -- four-hundred-and-twenty-four smackeroonies!
What! Can it be true? Who knows, but I'm willing to give it a shot. At the rate I smoke, I will recover the money in four months. Not to mention my damn alveoli.
Man! All this typing has totally stressed me out....better have a smoke and relax while I still can.

I have heard of these "fly by night" people too who come in and talk to you and before you know it you aren't smoking anymore. If you listen to what they say and not be so critical of it and really want to quit anyway, then I bet it would work!!
Good luck with it and let us know how it works out.
