About The Author

"If we would not have rainy days we wouldn't appreciate the sunny ones". Smoking produces a lot of rainy days. The biggest lie of them all is that smoking reduces stress, when in fact, the nicotine addiction increases stress levels. It is only relieved during the brief time you have that cigarette lit in your hand. You can even see this in my pictures on the left, if you look carefully enough. The question is: are you ready to set yourself free? Because nobody will do it for you.

Most important tips you’ll learn

This book is basically made of two parts. In the first part, I apply the REDUCE framework against smoking to increase my motivation to quit. While the second part applies REBT (rational emotive behavior therapy) to change irrational beliefs that support smoking into rational beliefs that obviously don't support smoking; quite the opposite.

REBT Workbook

Although I’ve supplied a REBT workbook for download at the end of the book, I highly recommend you see a REBT specialist to help you quit smoking.

Recommended Online Resources

At the end of the book, you will also find a list of resources I have used to help me quit smoking.

REDUCE Framework

An approch into applying the REDUCE framework against smoking. REDUCE stands for Reactance, Endowment, Distance, Uncertainty and Corroborating Evidence. I learned the REDUCE framework from this Coursera couse and I can never thank professor Jonah Berger enough for creating this course.

Introduction to REBT

REBT stands for Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy and I consider it the perfect treatment for smoking. In this book, I provide a short introduction to REBT and also provide you with a practical part - where I apply REBT to myself, by myself.

Sample Pages

To be transparent, I decided to share a couple of pages to identify if "Do You Want To Stop Smoking? Here's My Stop Smoking Story Which May Inspire You" is for you.

The Simplest Approach To Quit

So... you're here to quit smoking right? You don't have to buy the book to quit, the book is just about my quit smoking story.

Here's the thing: I have a Christian priest friend called Roman Gheorghe. And I told him I wrote a book to inspire people to quit smoking. I told him the fundamental idea that thoughts cause emotions and emotions cause behaviors. Beyond this, thoughts are supported by beliefs which can be rational or irrational, helpful or unhelpful. As you can imagine, irrational or unhelpful beliefs support negative thoughts which can get empowered by negative emotions that in the end can transpose in unconstructive behavior. Unconstructive behavior like smoking.

My Chirstian friend already knew that not smoking is all about fighting negative thoughts. He told me I somewhat complicated myself with REBT (Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy). Things can get far more simple than this: how about praying whenever we are bothered by negative thoughts? The idea is indeed as simple as it can be: we can connect with God by praying and negative thoughts will leave us alone. If you don’t try it you may find it hard to believe how fast negative thoughts dissipate. They will return of course, they always do, but we can pray again and again whenever they appear.

So if you want to quit smoking all you have to do is to find a prayer you resonate with and connect to God with it whenever negative thoughts strike. On the other hand if you’re interested in successful psychological stories like mine you can buy my book.
