Blowing Smoke Up Your Backside
Hi Scott,
Your financial advice, as always, is second to none … but this short email is to confirm you also scored a bull’s-eye with your suggestion a few weeks ago to Bella to buy Allen Carr’s book to help her husband give up smoking. Years ago, I was so addicted to cigarettes that, even after watching BOTH my mum and brother die prematurely from smoking-related illnesses, I STILL wasn’t able to quit.
But then I bought a copy of that book – and quit immediately after reading the last page. This was after smoking a pack a day for about 20 years and genuinely believing that life wasn’t worth living if I couldn’t smoke. Not to mention the fact that I had tried EVERY SINGLE other method in an attempt to quit.
Keep up the good work, and never stop recommending Allen Carr’s book to smokers. As a former confirmed smoker, I can only describe the feeling of genuinely never wanting another cigarette again after finishing the book as magic. I hope Bella and her husband take your advice and I wish them the same success.
Andy
Thanks, Andy!
I aim to be helpful in these pages. If this helps people escape the prison of addiction, it’s a good day for me. Well done for giving up the darts.
Scott.
