CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 4.0 based on 5 reviews)

It really really helped by AJ (San Diego, CA) 5 Stars
September 14, 2009
I quit a couple of years ago and this book was essential in helping. These are some great stories. I laughed at recognizing my behavior in some of the stories. There were so many different stories of different times, ages, situations, and places. Well, I relapsed recently and needed to quit all over again (because you seriously can never have "just one" as I found out the hard way at a high school reunion). I remembered this book, which I had since lost, and was thrilled Amazon had it. Once again, it really helped. I'd read it anyways for the interesting stories. The devotionals/inspirationals didn't do anything for me, but it was worth it for the stories alone.

I Am Not Smoking..... by Nicotine Addict (Albuquerque, NM) 5 Stars

This book has helped me day by day to not smoke... one day at a time.... This is a huge accomplishment after smoking for almost 50 years.

I AM NOW A NON-SMOKER 5 Stars
May 04, 2004
I bought this book 16 years ago, after being in A.A. for one year. I stopped smoking the day I started reading it. It is great motivational reading. That book, along with a subliminal tape to quit smoking helped me finally kick the habit. I am forever grateful for the courage and strength to quit. This book is AWESOME!!! Keep an open mind and take it One Day at a Time! I lended this book to someone a year after I quit and it was never returned to me because, sadly, that person died shortly after with cancer. I am buying it again to give to someone who is ready. Good Luck...this book will help!

If only I could not have bought this book. by eric 1 Stars
September 21, 2003
I recieved this book in the mail yesterday, and today it is ripped up and sitting my kitchen garbage can where it belongs. I didn't even want to take it to the used book store and get a couple of bucks for it because I did not want someone else to waste thier money on it. The index is very decieving. It appears that the author is going to cover all of these topics, but all she did was compile a bunch of peoples stories about their struggles with cigarettes and put them all togother and call it a book. The stories are pretty lame too,at least the ones I read. Admittedly, I did not read the entire book-my urge to put this trash where it belonged was too strong. If I had as much distaste for cigarettes as I have for this book I would never smoke again. This review is my last bit of closure and now I can get on with my life.

Great Motivational Material 5 Stars
October 20, 2000
I read this book when I quit smoking and it helped me so much. It is written by someone with an AA background and is written in that kind of a format. Each day for the first few months is a story about someone's struggle with smoking. Then there is a short devotional. I would read a chapter each night before I went to sleep. Somehow that really reinforced my resolve not to smoke for one more day.I give this book a 5 star for helping you keep the resolve to not smoke!!
