That's actually really interesting about the psychology side, maybe there's an element of that in the book - one of the parts that stayed with me is to not use the phrase "I quit smoking" or "I gave up smoking" - because we associate quitting or giving up with failures, and we relate those phrases to enjoyable things or having to relinquish something we once enjoyed. He recommends using "I stopped" instead. I'm actually really conscious of not using those phrases, it's mad how it gets in to your brain! xShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08809692683188179587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711575350710344963.post-16308898582754177922013-06-13T22:07:56.530+01:002013-06-13T22:07:56.530+01:00You definitely do, every other time I tried, I was...You definitely do, every other time I tried, I was setting myself up to fail before I even started.

So fascinating :) I'm really happy the book helped you xxxEmmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00125182689219835768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711575350710344963.post-19249268373401507442013-05-30T23:15:08.344+01:002013-05-30T23:15:08.344+01:00Well done:-) I'm delighted this book worked ...Well done:-) I'm delighted this book worked for you.

He was very against smoking and it gave me the kick up the bum I needed.
