Customer Reviews

This book works if you're a need-to-know type

This book prepared me for what to expect -- what stages my cravings would go through and why, and for how long. It let me know why I might or might not gain weight and what I needed to do to counteract that. The book provided the tools for understanding the physical repercussions of quitting. I guess forewarned is forearmed.
