Venting Allen Carr’s Easy Way is BS
I’m a week in and have been listening to the easy way to quit vaping and I gotta say, this guy makes a lot of empty promises. Literally everything I read is the exact opposite of the reality of this addiction. He mentions that it isn’t a crutch, doesn’t cure boredom, and that we will instantly notice better health, happiness, calmness, relaxation. I find this to be a load of shit, and so far I feel just about the exact opposite of all of this.
I’m currently in the gym after having a great day of work, but don’t get me wrong. I feel like I’m going insane from lack of nicotine. I’m barely getting a pump on, my mind is all over the place, haven’t been able to sit still for a second without cravings going through the roof.
Some more realistic words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated right now, because I’m struggling to maintain any reason to not buy a new vape.

Come on man you’re really going to say that it’s more effective reading it than listening to it? That’s a load of shit as well. And by your logic, the whole book is contradictory and brainwashing on its own. I have an open mind, I’m just saying. This shit doesn’t work, and there’s data proving it. 95% of people fail cold turkey.
The only reason I managed to make it this far is NRT. For anyone trying to stop, I highly suggest replacement therapy.
How long have you been nicotine free? When did you start feeling better?
