Firstly, congratulations for deciding to take positive action and
move forward with The WINNING WAY Method. There are 3 Zones which
you will enter to slowly and systematically become a non-smoker:
THE CUTTING DOWN ZONE 8 WEEKS, THE QUIT ZERO ZONE 16 WEEKS &
THE PERMANENT QUIT ZONE where you reach your final destination.
Over the years I have had in-depth conversations with countless
smokers who would dearly like to kick the habit, but are terrified
that if they do, they will not be or feel themselves, and that it
would be a quantum leap into the dark unknown for them. - This is
particularly so for long-term smokers. But what I try to get them
to think about is not the unknown - but the known - the time when
they once were non-smokers and felt their normal-selves. There are
so many things in life that seem insurmountable - yet often when we
reach our goals, we look back and see that the fretting and
worrying was worse than the getting on with it and going through
it. You are looking at this book because you want to stop - you
have the will, and by following my unique positive mindset
strategy, along with using easy supports like e-cigarettes,
nicotine replacement methods (NRT), Quit Tea, a hypnosis CD, and
de-stressing inhalers, you have the way. It is possible for
everyone to achieve non-smoking status. With The WINNING WAY method
you do not have to quit right away - it is about small steps that
allow you to gradually cut down your cigarette number. - This makes
the transition phase as calm and un-stressing as possible, and
allows your mind and body to acclimatise. Step by step, I will show
you how to be in a much stronger and successful position to quit
for good and never want to light up again. - With the WINNING WAY
method, smoking will become a thing of the past - a foreign country

Conquer The Habit - The overwhelming majority of books on how to
quit smoking are based on the theory that nicotine is the primary
cause of cigarette addiction. This book approaches cigarette
smoking as a learned habit based upon criteria other than nicotine.
You will learn how to erase this habit to become totally free of
cigarettes as if you never smoked. Those agonizing withdrawal
symptoms are minimized making quitting much easier. No patches-no
gum-no drugs-no hypnosis. Understanding the habit is the secret.

loses its short-lived effects. Then the smoker feels let down or
tired. Yet smokers often convince themselves that they are never
alone, if they have their cigarettes: their little buddy, pal, best
friend who is always there to provide comfort and a pick-up. But
deep down, most smokers acknowledge the truth: cigarettes are
really their worst enemy. What do you have to lose by reading this
