Should have gone to an expert!

I have been helping smokers for the last five years using the 'Phoenix system' developed by DR Barry Neale PhD. This system was ten years in development and has one of the highest success rates of all methods. IN A STUDY CARRIED OUT OVER A TWO YEAR PERIOD, OF 300 SUBJECTS WHO WERE CONTACTED 1 MONTH AND AGAIN 6 MONTHS LATER BY TELEPHONE 95% HAD NOT RETURNED TO SMOKING. This makes it one of the most effective stop smoking systems in the world! '1-2-Free' is the only version of this system available in print and on CD and now downloadable. I Have developed this system for download as I know how effective it has been for my clients. And I have been asked by many smokers if there is a cheaper alternative to a private session. As I signed on the dotted line when I paid for the training to use this system, I was reminded me of a nasty experience I had years before, but also filled with a sense of relief...

It was with a horrid feeling of revulsion that I recall the experience of my first and last attempt at plumbing. It was when I moved into a small apartment, I had just signed the lease, which was quite a big step for me, and a little scary as there were so many rules I had to stick to. There were some shared facilities, the toilet and the kitchen being used by two other people. I had no idea that I was about to make foolish mistake. I had just graduated from university with hardly any money, just enough to pay the rent and eat. One day I came home a bit stressed and became irritated by the dripping cistern in the toilets flusher unit, so I decided to 'have a go' and fix it by trying to do it myself. I stood on the toilet and before I knew what had happened, it started to wobble and I cracked the seal around the out pipe. This meant that whenever it was flushed 'stuff' started leaking onto the floor. Now what? I didn't want to get in trouble so I went to local store and bought some filler to seal it. I read the tube and it said, “remove all lose material and clean down before applying”. OK, so out with the few tools that I had. A hammer a screwdriver and a small multi-purpose gadget. I got behind the WC and started chipping away at the seal. Once I had a few bits out it really started to stink, YUK! Anyway I soldiered on, braving the horrid smell, then disaster! One too many chips... the tube itself smashed and all of its contents went over my hands and onto the floor. Luckily it was mostly water but the pipe inside was coated with god knows what! By now I was cursing myself thinking,

I SHOULD HAVE GONE TO AN EXPERT, BORROWED SOME MONEY FROM MY FOLKS, AND GOT IT DONE PROPERLY... WHY DIDN'T I GO TO AN EXPERT ?

I think panic had started to set in, what was I going to do. What would the landlord say? Would he kick me out? That's when I made the decision to sell my graduation present, a TAG Chronograph watch, then buy a new WC to replace the old one. Nobody would notice and I had a week before my room mates got back from Holiday. I went to a watch dealer and got two hundred for my watch, way below what it was worth. I felt really upset about it but hey what choice did I have? Yes I know ...

I SHOULD HAVE GONE TO AN EXPERT PAID HIM THE MONEY!!

I took the money to the local plumbers merchant and bought the exact same WC and lugged it home strapped to my bike. When the coast was clear, I got it up to the third floor, I was absolutely exhausted, it was so heavy. What the hell had come over me to make me try to fix it on my own....?

WHY DIDN'T I GO TO AN EXPERT PLUMBER?

The next day after the landlord had gone out I started chipping the old WC out well I say chipping it was really just a case of smashing the bend and undoing the screws around the base. I wish! I got the horrid smelling old WC off after about five hours. But then more problems.... once it was off, I looked into the pipe which was thick with, well lets just say it was brown and slimy and smelt like your worst nightmare. I had to clean off some of this awful stuff, I had no gloves and only a kitchen knife would move it. It took me about an hour to scrape the stinking sludge away, Finally the join was clean, but the whole room smelled like a dead animal mixed with garbage. That's when the landlord decided to come home early.. Oh my God I couldn't do any banging or screwing a until he was out again. That was about a day and a half.! A day and a half spent in what could only be described as an open sewer. The whole room was foul smelling. How was I to go the the toilet, I had to use a bucket and carefully tip it down the hideous brown hole. I think by now I had learnt an important lesson. If you want a job doing properly.....

GO TO AN EXPERT!!

Once the landlord had gone out again I fitted the new WC to the filthy brown pipe and sealed it up replacing the screws from the old base and putting the seat from the old WC back on... now all I had to do was get rid of the old WC... how was I going to do it without being seen. There was only one way. Smash it to small bits and dispose of it in various bins. The last insult was the smashing, the first whack made a splat of the brown sludge fly right in my face...I thought that I was sure to die from some hideous disease, I don't think I felt clean again for a month after! I'm not sure if anyone ever noticed the change but I sure as hell learnt a big lesson. If you want an important job doing then whatever you do ....

GO TO AN EXPERT!
Which brings me back to my system. Now there are lots of different methods for stopping smoking. And if you are really lucky then you might stumble upon one which works. But statistically only seven percent of people who are having trouble stopping smoking will manage it on there own by doing it themselves. The rest need help! There is a multitude of stop smoking advice to choose from, ranging from ridiculous patches,drugs to plastic cigarettes to weird gel to help forums and support groups,NHS clinics etcetera. Now I was a heavy smoker around twenty years ago. I was desperate to give up smoking as my fitness was starting to suffer and I was at quite a high level in Athletics. How mad was I to smoke? But I started with a bunch of my friends when I was around eleven and by my twentieth birthday I had been hooked into around forty a day. It was on April the 9th 1985 that I was shocked into making the decision to quit smoking . My Mother died aged 49 from the result of smoking. I was heart broken. That was the final straw, I knew I had to quit. Little did I know that I was to spend the next eight years trying... I tried everything , patches which were useless, I had a patch on and still wanted a cigarette! NHS group clinic, I found depressing which made me smoke more. Cold Turkey which seemed to work until I got stressed out. Plastic cigarettes, what a joke. I think I tried pretty much everything with out any real expert help, just doing it myself. "You know what that can lead to", I always thought! Finally a friend of my Mothers told me about a guy she had been to see to help her quit. I knew she had been a non smoker for about eighteen months since seeing him. He was a specialist using a system called "The phoenix system", I went to see him paying his £250.00 fee. The morning before that session I chain smoked fifteen. They were the last cigarettes I have ever smoked.! He was brilliant. He showed me why I had found it so hard to quit and implanted some great techniques and suggestions which completely changed that old habit. I knew that day that I've finally quit smoking and cigarettes were a thing of the past. I rang home and told my Dad I've wiped out my smoking habit. He was over the moon too.


Now forget about that horrible toilet thing just remember, you don't need to go down the lengthy route that I went down because you of course are totally free to choose which method you use to stop smoking you could try to do it yourself and good luck to you if you do, or you could.....

Go to an expert, get some effective advice and quit with specialist help!

That was an important lesson for me way back then. It kind of changed my life, I wish I had applied it a bit quicker!!
