This time last year……..
All the people below
were smokers just like YOU.
Convinced they would not
succeed
Convinced it would be a terrible
ordeal.
TO-DAY they are
Non-Smokers.
The lesson: it REALLY can be done!
And it need not cost you anything.
Our entire online is totally FREE
This time next year, you will be free of all of this
We have printed here each e-mail as we received it. Here is a selection of quit smoking testimonials

Dear John,
Thank you so much for all your support in helping me become a non-smoker. I haven't had a cigarette in 25 days and don't have any desire to start again. I will stay focused and will recommend your program to anyone who wants to quit smoking.
You are giving people like me the best gift you could give, the confidence and support to quit smoking.
Thanks once again.

hello there,
and thank you for the wonderful program, it has truly helped change my thinking about smoking and I am happily on my 22nd day as a non-smoker. But as I do really look forward to reading the support emails every morning I am hoping to receive continued emails. They really do aid in reasserting my desire not to smoke. So if I could start the 21 day email support program again that would be great.
thank you,
jennifer

Hi John,
Just wanted to let you know how fantastic your course is. I have been smoking for 45 years, and never thought quitting could be so easy. It's just too bad I waited so long, as it seems that the damage is already done. But, I guess better late than never. Thank you sooo much, Sincerely, John C Peet

Thanks John, I am telling everyone I know about your site. It is the best thing I've come across in years. It is even better than Allen Carr's book. Without this site and your emails I would have struggled much more than I did. It has been challenging to change this pattern, yet I did it and now I want to show other smokers it will work for them too.

The website is absolutely awesome. Finally!!! Someone who can tell me to do about the little monster in my head.
I've told people over and over "if I just could shut off my head, I could quit smoking". No one ever had one suggestion for me
It took me hours to read through the web site and when I started my hands kept clenching into fists. I had to consciously make myself relax by the end of reading the information on your website I was through smoking.
I kept looking at my ashtray and cigarettes and thinking "I need to quit". I'd feel a twinge of panic so would go on reading and look at them again. When I could look at them without feeling the panic or anything at all I threw it all out. And I know without any doubt in my mind that I'm finished thanks to you.
I did donate what I could. I'm on disability so can't afford a lot.
I got day one of the e-mails from you but haven't gotten anything today from you.
Thank you,
Ona Hardy

Hi, I wanted to take this time and thank you, as I am now a non-smoker. It will be 4 weeks in a couple of days. I followed your program to the T and it was really rather simple. I have been smoking since I was 13 or 14, quit long enough to have my kids and started up again. I am 57 years old, a two pack a day smoker and have finally taken the chains off. Everything I did revolved around a cigarette. I couldn't do anything unless I smoked. The only thing I really feel is a little like a lost someone real dear to me. Like I am grieving someone's death. That I am coping with really quite well, but it's funny that I don't have a physical craving for a smoke, just a lonely feeling and trying to cope with the loss. Lol. I can't really explain it. But I wanted to thank you very much.
Linda

Hello John,
My name is Mary Young I smoked for over 50 years and have been smoke free for 1 year now.
I have enrolled in your course for couple of reasons, first to reinforce my quit, and second because I am a chat host for COPD-International Quit Smoking Now chat, we meet each evening for one hour to support and help those of us who are still smoking and trying to quit.
The hosts are James-UK, Jackie-NY and myself (Gal-TX) are covering your program in our chats and encouraging our chatters to go to your web site also.
We feel that your presentation is the best, in fact this it the first site we have recommended to our people. The positive way that you have presented the course is such a great help.
So thank you so very much for all your hard work and your effort to connect with others.
Live Simple ,,,, Love Generously ,Care Deeply ,,,,, Speak Kindly ,,,,,Leave The Rest To God !!!!!!
Mary

> John, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you so much for your advice and tips on your website. I had stopped smoking, proir to finding your online workbook, but I was having a hard time fighting the mental part of all of this. The physical withdrawal symptoms ahve been NOTHING compared to the emotions, the self-pity, etc. I found your website through another site, and went straight to it. I read all of it, taking in each thought and really feel it has helped me get through these past few days. I now don't allow myself to react to these silly cravings- they happen of course, but I make as little to do about them as I can. I really do feel that if I had not found your online workbook, I would have relapsed for sure. Today has been so much easier than I thought it would- I guess you are right when you say it FINALLY feels worth all the effort.
Many thanks again John. KIMMY

Dear John:
Thank you for this. Even though I'm sure this is computer-generated, it felt like a personal note to me. I, too, read Alan Carr's book a few years ago, but it wasn't until May of this year that I was able to finally quit. Today marks four months for me and I NEVER could have done it without quitsmokingonline.com
Since quitting, I have shared your URL with many others and I use the relaxation techniques and mantra's daily. My personal favorite gets me through all sorts of times: "There is no great drama – no great pain, unless you want to create it." I am a better person because of what your site taught me.
Thank you and god bless,

Hello, my name is Angela and I quit smoking almost 22 hours ago. I am quitting cold turkey and I am sitting at home reading your literature and thinking I knew this, but it took a complete stranger's written word to validate this knowledge in my mind. I am a Registered Nurse and have a significant Psych background. This all makes sense to me and I as sit here listening to my little voices in my head, I acknowledge these voices, validate their feelings and continue with my day. I can't say it is always easy, considering the fact that I am home with two children and attempting to change careers from nursing to marketing (just completed my MBA in May) in a state that is in poor economic health (MI).
I do want to thank you for sharing your knowledge. I didn't know you existed until one of the other individuals on the American Lung Association website gave me your website as a resource. I will definitely pass on the word. Once my family gets out of this difficult financial rut we are in, I would like to give you a donation and I will definitely use some word-of-mouth marketing to get the word out on your website.
Once again, thanks and take care.

Good morning, John!
I just wanted to thank you for this message. I love the whole idea of spending time and enjoying the time with my cravings because soon they will be gone.
I really have found your emails and the whole program so helpful and POWERFUL in that they have really helped me to see this whole idea of quitting smoking in an entirely different light. I have the control not the other way around. Just to let you know, I was referred to your site from the American Lung Association's Freedom From Smoking online site, and also refer others to your site.
Really, thank you, thank you, thank you for making this available. Have the greatest day possible! You've helped me to.

Successful Quitter – So Far, So Good!
Dear John,
Words of immense gratitude are hardly sufficient to thank you for the impact your quit smoking programme has had on me.
I was a ‘60 a day, full tar’ smoker (perish the thought) having started the unnecessary habit about 50 years ago. To quit seems an impossible task but it is an honest reality, my friends are all truly amazed by the transformation in me.
Your programme is so powerful that, after 5 days since quitting, I feel your e-mail support to be a little bit depressing with the constant references to ‘withdrawal symptoms’. I do not have any problems at all as I followed your programme to the letter.
Once again, my heartfelt thanks to you and all the team at www.quitsmokingonline.com
Regards,
Ian M. Carter

Subject: The Course
Hello May 2, 2006
I just wanted to thank you for this course. I’ve been trying to quite for a little over two years, and I’ve finally done it. Nicotine free after twenty years. I did a smoking cessation class and used the patches, which I had done before. Your course just made it so much easier for me. I’ve have been nicotine free for three day’s now and I haven’t smoke a cigarette in 32 day’s. I work for the county and have let the Doctor at the health department know about your site. Thank you again.
Gratefully
Beth Esposito

Subject: Please change to day 3
Hi,
I clicked on the link to let you know that I relapsed and needed the e-mails to start all over again. Only 1 new e-mail was received and now I'm getting day 21. This is day 3 and if possible I would appreciate it if this could be updated. Having difficulty thinking and hope I'm making sense. But counting on your e-mails.
Want to share with you about your book. I've told many people who are ready to quit to go to your site and buy it. It has helped me so much!!! I've been a smoker for 40 years and never thought that I could do it for 1 day. This is my 3rd attempt to quit and after reading your book I really feel that I can do it!! Reason for the change in date is that I was still reading the book and actively smoking. You have helped me so much I am grateful. My doctor is amazed that for 3 days I haven't smoked. Being disabled, living in chronic pain, on a daily basis is very difficult. I never thought I could stop smoking as I always looked at it as my one and only friend/vise. Now I look at smoking in a whole different way and much of that is due to the different concept in your book.
Once again, I am very grateful AND I will spread the word about your book to everyone who is thinking or attempting to quit. I promise and I have told many.
Thanks again,
Barbara

I want to thank the people @ quitsmokingonline for the book and email support. I have been signed up on Quitnet and that is where I heard of you folks. The book was a godsend for me and really put me in the mindset for becoming a non-smoker. I hesitate to say it has been easy…but I certainly can't say it has been hard. Most of my family and friends don't understand (or believe me) when I say I know I will never smoke again…ever. I want you to know that I have recommended your site to at least 50 people and received emails from several thanking me. Again, thank you for the freedom you have helped me obtain! I will remain vigilent, on-guard and most of all a non-smoker!

Subject: Quit date 31 March
Hi from Portugal
Just wanted to drop you a line to let you know that I quit smoking on the 31st March 2006 and today is 18 days! Thanks to your online information and daily emails, I can honestly say that you and your info has been the main reason I have managed to get to this stage and going strong!!! Best 20.00 donation ever spent!
What I wanted to ask you is regarding the email you sent yesterday. How come we get "surprise attacks" for no rhyme or reason??? I quit for nearly 3 years and even after all that time, I got a major attack and started smoking again. I think I was CONVINCED that I had beat the habit so I let my guard down. I smoked for 2 years after that and on the 31st March decided to stop. I did your course 3 days after I quit and it was like a walking stick….boy did I need it. What chemical reaction is happening for the surprise attacks to happen? Any info will be welcome because I don't want to fall again.
Anyway so far so good and to try and avoid gaining weight I have joined a gym where I go every day!
Anyway thanks again!
Ginevra De Rose

Hi John,
I just wanted to say thank you! Your timing of sending emails that deal with urges is perfect. Mine started this past Sunday for which I went to bed for the entire day, however, when I read your email yesterday, it mentioned the breathing. Sure enough, last night and this morning coming to work, I did not but the deep breathing and thank you…I made it to work and stopped at Starbucks rather than the corner store. Thank you!

Hi John, I have quit smoking using a few resources including John Ryans book, Quitnet.com, and of course your book. I am now going through your 21 day email support program and am getting many wonder insights. I appreciate all the help everyone has given me and you are absolutely right, it is not hard once you understand what you're really up against. I only wish my dad could have had this information before he died back in 1990 at 55 years of age from lung cancer. He tried so hard to quit so many times, he was a strong, christian man and I don't think I could see how I could quit if he couldn't. It took a lot of convincing. Well, thanks again, Anna

Thank you SO much for your website. And so far, so good. No failures… no “oooops”….. no slips this time.
Your Program really helped a lot. However, I will remain diligent and focused…. and will remind myself whenever necessary that “there is no such thing as one cigarette.” As a matter of fact, I have those words printed and hanging up at my desk at work and at home to constantly remind me.
I think I’m going to beat the addiction this time. Finally. Thank you again!!
