A nice book to look into

by AnonL, Mar 15, 2007 12:00AM
Well I can't sleep and I'm craving like crazy so I decided to read a book my mother had gotten me a while back. It's called Easy way to stop smoking by Allen Carr. I'm just on the first few pages but I really think this is a good read and it can be applied to many other things instead of cigs. Just trying to be helpful, enjoy the read and good night.

Reading is an excellent distraction when sleep won't come.   I found that doing household chores was a way of keeping distracted and helped me get exhausted enough to finally sleep.

I think the worst thing is to just lie in bed and think about W/D.  Thoughts usually wind up saying, "If I took one pill, I could sleep...and, I could start over tomorrow."   That is a dangerous thought...the old three steps forward, then two back method of quitting.
