Buttkickers

Is your love affair with tobacco finally over? Are you ready to kick butts? Then take names - and plenty of them. Every teacher, every friend, every name in this book shows up with clear intent: to have your back as you Kick Butts and Take Names, your way. Joanna Cummings is a skilled, experienced addiction counselor. She also smoked for over twenty years, starting at age twelve. She tells about her own relationship with tobacco in sometimes aching, sometimes humorous language -- a long, tortuous road familiar to many tobacco users, smokers and dippers alike. Her own liberation - and hundreds of conversations with fellow buttheads and buttkickers - led her to formulate this unique and highly effective response to the challenge of tobacco cessation, and more. When two of the four long-term smokers who read the rough draft of this book stopped using tobacco shortly after reading it, the first edition of Kick Butts, Take Names moved quickly to print. Lives have changed in its wake. This second edition of Kick Butts, Take Names is twice the size and impact of the first. Part how-to, part resource manual and part personal accounts, this is a guide for freedom from tobacco, and from any number of other "restraints" in your life. From the first word to the last resource, Kick Butts, Take Names is jam-packed - with people, support and some surprisingly fresh ideas - for your liberation, for your success, on your terms. Kick Butts, Take Names: It's All About Freedom.
