On a day-by-day basis, Comerford tells the reader what to expect for the day concerning cravings, withdrawal symptoms, and psychological attacks that come at various periods throughout the process. Drawing upon his personal thoughts, feelings, and physiological responses, Comerford prepares the reader to face each challenge with the sheer will power and determination of one who refuses to give up on their quest until they have met their goal. All the while, the author gives regular encouragement to keep them on track.

The Cold Turkey Chronicles is a must for anyone who is truly ready to quit smoking. A.O. Comerford is straightforward with his advice based on personal experience.

Straightforward, encouraging, and easy to follow; The Cold Turkey Chronicles will help you stop smoking, period.
