There's no harm in trying Carr's method. I personally think his approach of "you're not craving cigarettes. withdrawal physical effects are an illusion" just don't cut it for me. Take your time. Understand why you smoke, when you do it. Then, start preparing mentally. One thing I used to do was read about the damages of smoking while smoking. Little by little you'll feel that you have enough momentum to quit. Still, you need to understand from the getgo that your brain is going to pull every trick in the bag to get you back to smoking. You need to remember that you were alive and functioned perfectly fine before smoking, and you can do it after you quit. Again, take your time. Its not an easy decision. If you smoke a lot even though you started relatively recently, odds are you're one of those people who get really attached to nicotine because of physical and psychological reasons. Ill actuallt double stress psychological prediaposition. Many on this sub. myself included, feel that mental illnesses seem to make withdrawal allthemore difficult. Nicotine has a weird way of twisting your weaknesses. This doesn't mean you can't quit, but it means it's going to take energy and willpower. You can do it! But please, if you think you're getting too attached, quit asap. Trust me. I smoked for a decade, I still feel just as empty, sad and anxious. Probably even more so. It won't solve it. Smoking won't do anything but make you less healthy.

I only have one really silver bullet trick for quitting: running. Run every day if you can. You have no idea how much it'll help.
