A couple of years ago, I read a book that changed my life forever. Okay, it didn't do all the work but it planted some seeds of change.
With the cost of cigarettes rising and my health declining, I read The Easy Way to Stop Smoking by Allen Carr. (If you're a smoker, this is a must-read. I highly recommend it.) I was determined to sever my addiction to cigarettes and finished the book in one afternoon.
I was 28 then and had been smoking since I was 11 years old. (Oh, wow - that sounds so horrible!) I wished I never started. I didn't want to smoke any more, but at the same time, I was terrified to stop.
I was so badly addicted. The cigarette was my ball and chain. I couldn't go anywhere without it. Sometimes, the craving would wake me at night.
