If it makes you feel any better, you’re the only person I know who has anything good to say about the caliber of his nanowrimo novel. The rest of us think ours are pure shit.

Also, in case you didn’t know, if you “win” (ie finish in time) you can upload your novel for an official word count, get a code, and use that code to have a single paperback copy of your novel published and mailed to you (absolutely free) within six months. That means you have a chance to edit it first and get a bound copy of your final draft.

“Unhappy, tortured even.” If that’s the case, then I am not sure you ever bought Allen Carr’s argument properly. Is not his whole process based upon removing the desire to smoke itself? If we don’t do that, we will return to smoking.

Hence, after six months you were no longer physically addicted in the least to smoking, yet you still felt “Unhappy, tortured even.” However, you more or less admit that you still feel the same way, although now you feel “Unhappy, tortured even.” w/r/t to “declining health and general physical unwellness.”

Classic double-bind there.

Am interested, however, in your “solution.”

Hope all is well, otherwise.

My hunch, however, is that we all try to quit because we feel like shit when we wake up. We feel like shit for wasting money. We feel like shit . . . at odd times . . . picturing ourselves at that moment of lung cancer diagnosis (or pick your cancer).

For me it had be about these things because I did not mind being addicted to the drug in and of itself. I did not mind inhaling smoke. I did not mind dipping skoal. I did not mind, indeed always have loved, the smell of burning tobacco, though not the morning after smell.

ETC.

Therefore, since you desperately tried to quit, I wonder why you did so?

Interesting topic, this.

As for Pat the bunny – you’re welcome! I hope I’ve enriched your experience…

I used Allen Carr’s Easyway and it worked for me.
