There I was at age 50, a little nervous, and more than a little scared, still smoking two packs a day. I kept trying to quit but nothing had worked; not the psycological confusion of mind doctors, no the well meaning but futile guidance of medical doctors. How could anyone find the patience and determination to slog through 300 sterile pages of print? What I needed was motivation, inspiration and a plan that didn't push me to the breaking point. Frusterated and desperate, I took it upon myself to learn just what makes a smoker tick, and along the way created my own program. I continued to smoke while preparing and programming my mind and found myself, within a matter of weeks, no longer smoking. And even more amazing, not wanting to smoke. It has become my privilege and my pleasure to share this gameplan with smokers looking for a stimulating, sensible, and somewhat comfortable escape from the dirty world of cigarettes.

Good morning JJ, Thanks for "Smoke free & Smiling". I watched the video last night and it left me stone cold sober to the consequences of smoking. I hate everything about it, and it will be nice to one day soon wake up not worrying about these consequences. I feel that the pack I'm on is my last. The booklets really hit home too - I've been looking over them before I light up - it really changes the mood of having that cigarette. Page 29 is very helpful - I know I'll be using that allot - same with the tip book. My parents both had strokes, so the cancer scare is not the only thing weighing me down. I believe that your technique of changing your thought pattern can be used in so many ways - losing weight, attaining goals etc. I even dug out my notes from a Brian Tracy Seminar I'd taken years ago - Phoenix Seminar - something to occupy my mind during the first few weeks. Thanks again JJ - I'll keep you informed as to how things are going. I still can't believe my luck of meeting you on Tuesday - someone who'd designed a program to quit this dreadful nightmare.

JJ, I am proud to say that I am celebrating my one week anniversary of not smoking. I can't believe I have finally quit! Thank you again - I couldn't have done it without your help. I was in a car accident a couple of days ago (no one hurt) and I thought about cigarettes, but I can honestly say I didn't crave one. I don't think I'm eating any more than I was before either.
-- Noreen Nelson

Hi JJ, THANK YOU for designing such a great program! I felt overwhelmed - didn't know how I was going to do it. You told me I could continue smoking for up to 5 weeks - it took me 5 days to quit. I have now quit for almost 6 weeks and never crave. I wake up in the morning excited to start my day. I look and feel like a different person. All I can say is, your program works!!

This old dog learned a new trick. 33 years of smoking and it's finished. No one's more surprised than me. Good program.

JJ, I was going to say that I’m sorry for taking so long on getting a review for this material. I had started to review the program, and picked up “The Bad the Ugly and the Worse”, I got to about page 12 and had to put it down, because I felt so uncomfortable with what I was seeing that I felt a little scared and unprepared to deal with what I was seeing and reading. So if I have been a little slow on getting feedback to you, I apologize, but I let my fear of quitting cigarettes take over for a while.
I sat down and went over the two books and the DVD recently and I must say, Thank you. The explanation of how the conscious and sub-conscious minds work was excellent and it assisted me greatly in realizing how powerful the mind is, and if reprogrammed, is capable of amazing feats. I think that I have really allowed the cigarettes and the fear of quitting to take over my subconscious mind. But I also realize that if I can reprogram my brain, like a computer, to produce a new output. I think this method will work, due to the fact that, I am changing the foundation of my thinking which will effect my attitude, which in turn, will affect my behavior.

I have never believed that a product or service for stopping smoking or weight loss, or even depression could really work, because it wasn’t dealing with the root cause of the problem, it only treated a symptom, or effect. Your system, is not like the other products and I feel great about using it to stop smoking. If I can change the root problem, i.e. my thoughts regarding smoking, then the behavior will follow suit.

I have begun this process and my plan is to quit on Dec 24. I am going to send you a list of my responses to the particular pictures, stories, and quotes from the “The Bad the Worse and the Ugly”. I thought that my responses might give an indication as to which items in the book were most powerful at provoking a response (good or bad). Regarding the video, I think you did a hell of a job. The communication is very clear and easy to understand. Thanks for creating this program and giving me a tool to make a positive change for the future.

For the record, your program really helped -- it set me on the path to quitting. It was kind of weird, when i quit, i just accepted that i was a smoker and would be until the day i died. Then i accepted that i have a choice and i wanted to choose to be smoke free. (and smiling of course) I think i almost hypnotized myself or something. I remember not feeling any fear when i quit (like i used to). I just kind of let it all go. The best way to describe it would be like letting a piece of paper out of your hand, during a windy day, and just watching it float away with no particular emotion one way or the other. I think the term is hang on tightly, and let go lightly. (if you want a reference for the program, let me know and i will be happy to relate my experiences)

I thought the package was great. The narration was well done and the information was well presented. I wish you luck because I think you did a terrific job here JJ.
