Yes, and I had tried several times before, without success. The difference is that earlier I just wanted to stop smoking for health reasons, but I still loved smoking. After reading the book, I don’t want to smoke because I just don’t like it anymore.
Yes, I think it was where he explained that you don’t really feel better when you smoke. What happens is that a smoker feels worse in the times they don’t smoke, and then a cigarette brings them up to normal again for a short while; so while you’re smoking you feel as good as a non-smoker feels all the time. But I don’t know if just reading that would have done the trick without the rest of the book.
