Introduction
I talked to his wife. She thought I was a little crazy. It is an understandable reaction, considering that she was a witness to all my numerous unsuccessful attempts to quit smoking. The latest took place two years before. I was able to endure six months of continuous torment, before I finally gave up and lit a cigarette.
I'm not ashamed to admit that cried like a baby. I cried because I knew that the sentence be a smoker for life. I have put so much effort in the attempt and has gone through so much suffering, I knew that I would never again have the strength to go through this ordeal.
I'm no different violent temper, but if some caring non-smoker at the time would have been stupid enough to start ranting about what all smokers believe that quitting smoking once and for all - easy, I would not be able to answer for their actions .
However, I believe that any jury in the world, consisting of smokers, have mercy on me, justified me committed murder. You may think quite impossible to believe that any smoker can suddenly discover how easy it is to quit smoking.
If so, I beg you not to throw this book into the trash. Please believe me. I assure you, even you will find that quitting smoking is easy. So, from that point two years have passed.
I just put out a cigarette, which I knew would be the last. I told my wife not only what has already become a non-smoker, but what's going to heal the world.
I must admit that at the time of her skepticism greatly irritated me. However, it did not affect my ecstatic state.
I think my enthusiasm from the knowledge that I have become a happy non-smoker, in some way embarrassed her. Now, looking back, I can understand the attitude of my wife's delight Now I understand why Joyce, close friends and family thought I was a candidate for the drug clinic patients.
Looking back on my life, I see that my whole existence seems to have been but a preparation for solving the problem of smoking. Even the hateful years of training and working as an accountant proved invaluable to me since helped to uncover the secrets of the trap of smoking.
It is said that you can not always fool all the others, but I think that tobacco companies are just that. Also, I consider myself the first person to really understand the structure of this trap. If I seem presumptuous, let me add that it is, rather, not my merit, but simply a coincidence of my life.
An important date for me was the July 15, 1983. I do not run away from the Chateau d'If, but I think that those who did it, felt a similar sense of freedom and excitement as I did when putting out their last cigarette.
I realized that I had found something that prays every smoker: an easy way to quit smoking.
Check out his method on smoking friends and relatives, I gave up accounting and began working as a consultant, helping other smokers break free from nicotine addiction. The first edition of this book I wrote in 1985. The reason for this was my bad luck - a man, which I'll discuss in Chapter 25.
He came to see me twice, and each time we brought each other to tears. He was so excited that I could not get him to relax, to understand what I'm saying. I hoped that if I record it all on paper, it will be able to read these records at any convenient time, as many times as he wants, and it will help him to understand my basic idea.
I had no doubt that "Easy Way" will act on other smokers as effectively as me. However, considering the presentation of his method in the form of books, I was very afraid of failure.
I spent an independent market research, and the results were not very encouraging, "How a book can help me quit smoking? All I need - it will power! "" How can a book to minimize the terrible suffering of withdrawal? "In addition to these pessimistic comments, and I had my own doubts.
The clinic often becomes evident that the patient misunderstood any important meaning or emphasis placed by me. But there I was able to correct the situation. And how it can make a book?
I remember well the time of his studies for the diploma accountant, when you do not understand or do not agree with certain ideas in the text, and their disappointment that the book can not ask for explanations. Besides, I was fully aware that many people do not accustomed to reading, especially now, in the era of television and video. In addition, I had another, more importantly, into question. I was not a writer, and was well aware of its limitations in this regard.
I was sure that sitting face to face with a smoker I can convince him how much nicer would meet friends, how much better he or she will be able to focus and deal with stress and how easy and pleasant can be a process of quitting. But if I can bring this belief into a book?
I doubt even if I have the right to express "Easy way" in the form of a book or should I hire a professional writer. I was not sure in the success of the planned business. Fortunately, the gods were favorable to me. I received thousands of letters of appreciation, which contained even such assessment: "This is - the greatest ever written books."
"You are my teacher". "Do you - genius! "" You have to devote a knight. " "You have to become a prime minister." "You are - the Holy." I hope that will not allow such statements turn my head. I am fully aware that all of these statements were made not to make me a compliment about my literary abilities, but rather in spite of their absence.
They were made because the system "Easy Way" (referring you to the hospital or just read a book) works! Today we have a worldwide network of clinics "Easy way", and this book is translated into more than 20 languages.
About a year later by the clinic, you can quit smoking, I thought I knew everything there is to know about how to help smokers. Surprisingly, during the 14 years that have passed since the opening of my way, I learn something new almost every day.
This fact has caused me some concern when I was asked to review the first draft of the book six years after its publication. I was afraid that I will have to change or erase virtually all written. But I need not have worried. Fundamental Principles "Easy way" as effective and reliable today as it was when I first discovered it.
