He even laughed about it, and said that he just couldn't imagine his life without cigarettes. When he was diagnosed with lung cancer about a month ago, he told me he couldn't wait to get out of the hospital so he could have a cigarette. I've had two friends my own age undergo intensely difficult, painful battles against cancer, and i've spent these past few weeks watching a man I really cared about suffer in agony, knowing he wasn't going to get all the years he deserved, probably because of this addiction he'd had since age nine. I'm thirty years old, and I know smoking's gross. I do feel pretty ready for Carr to convince me. I do it because I'm addicted, and I tell myself all these crazy lies about cigarettes, like that they're fun and make me happy, and that I enjoy smoking them. Why do I do this? Because I love smoking!!! No, Allen Carr tells me: that is not why. Drinking gets me every time, as do smoker friends. I can go weeks without touching them, but once I get started, I'll smoke a pack - sometimes more - in a night without batting an eye. I smoke when I drink, and when I do then I binge.

I don't relate to a lot of quit smoking stuff, because my smoking occurs under pretty specific conditions. And it totally worked the first time - but of course, quitting smoking's easy, it's the staying quit that's a drag.
I totally believe this, he's obviously right, and I know what Carr's gonna say because I've read this before.

All the loving I think I'm doing is actually just the insidious mendacity of addiction that is warping my mind and encouraging me to flood my otherwise gorgeous long-distance runner's lungs with carcinogens and emphysema and all other kinds of gnarly. Except, Allen Carr's going to tell me, I actually don't. I can't possibly love smoking because smoking's disgusting! All the loving I think I'm doing is actual Training for the New York City marathon last fall didn't magically stop me from smoking, but maybe watching a beloved client die abruptly and excruciatingly of lung cancer last week will do the trick? In case that's not enough, I've got Allen Carr's annoying self-help book to back me up!
