After smoking up to four packs a day for forty-nine years, author Gary Marsh quit November 21, 1998. In Experience, Strength, and Hope, he shares his story of leaving cigarettes behind and improving himself and his health in the process.
Gary doesn’t discuss how to quit nicotine, rather he chronicles his journey of getting out of the prison of nicotine addiction and his venture into a new life of enjoying freedom, feeling good, and being happy. A compilation of his shares on a Nicotine Anonymous discussion forum and an email pen pal list, he tells how his faith and God and following the twelve steps worked in his life.
Experience, Strength, and Hope offers Gary’s insight from years of painstaking recovery, a recovery he never thought possible after failing at many previous attempts. He credits Nicotine Anonymous for helping him live a life without cigarettes.

Great Read and Inspiring
Reviewed in Canada on 18 June 2022
Hello, I first met Gary in trying to quit smoking myself. In his book he speaks honestly and openly about his addiction to Nicotine and what he has had to do to deal with it. Reading this book is like sitting in a room with him while he shares his experience, strength and hope. For anyone dealing with Nicotine addiction I would highly recommend reading this book.
