Did you stop smoking using an Allen Carr book or by attending an Allen Carr’s Easyway clinic session? I attended an Allen Carr’s Easyway To Stop Smoking Clinic Session

Briefly describe your thoughts on the book/clinic session: Totally amazing, came out of the session a non-smoker. Just love not being a smoker anymore

Approx date that you stopped smoking? 18.04.2013

Briefly describe the impact on your life of having stopped smoking: Feel better, able to run better distances. Can smell so many things now. It’s like a forgotten world, I’m just glad I had this choice to give up. I’m never going back to that place again!!!

Is there something special which you have achieved since you stopped smoking? I’ve started to ride my bike to work – I’ve never done that before and now I ride 11 miles a day! The reason I stopped smoking was that it had taken over my life and had become an awful secret sin.

So…how is 2013 shaping up for you?

From the desk of John Dicey, Worldwide Director, Allen Carr’s Easyway

New Year is a time most of us take a look at our lives and decide to make an attempt to live more healthily. It’s amazing how, by March or April, our determination to make and maintain those changes can seem to flag.

Allen Carr’s Easyway method is designed to avoid that kind of loss of momentum and inspiration by ensuring that whatever your goal might be; to stop smoking, to stop drinking, to lose weight, or just to eat more healthily you start off feeling great about your decision. The method does this by amending your perception of the issue you want to change. By realising that you’re escaping from something rather than “giving it up” you should feel happy, free, and enjoy a genuine, lasting sense of release.

In a nutshell this is why Allen Carr called his method EASYWAY.

Up in smoke

From the desk of John Dicey, Worldwide Director, Allen Carr’s Easyway

National No Smoking Day; the day we used to be told all smokers decided to quit smoking. Of course – Allen Carr used to crack a wry smile every time it was ever mentioned because he knew it was the one day in the year when most self-respecting smokers were least likely to make an attempt to stop. In fact many smokers would smoke twice as many cigarettes as normal in defiance of being told what to do and when to do it by a bunch of do-gooders.

Having said all that, over the years, National No Smoking Day at least presented an opportunity to have Allen Carr’s Easyway mentioned in the media – especially newspapers and magazines. To this end – we would always play an active role in the day’s proceedings in the hope that at least the smoking public might get an opportunity to learn a little about Allen Carr’s Easyway as a result. To do anything other than that would have been to surrender those media opportunities to the stop smoking quacks and the peddlers of nicotine patches, nicotine gum, Zyban, and Champix.

The fact that Allen Carr’s Easyway To Stop Smoking always more than matched Big Pharma, punch for punch, blow for blow, in the fight for column inches in this annual media scuffle was testimony to Allen’s truly amazing method, the dedication, hard work, and ingenuity of the team he assembled to support his work, and the most important part of Allen Carr’s Easyway revolution – the happy non-smokers it produced – who would happily sing its praises until the cows came home. It remains true even today – most people who use the method do so as a result of personal recommendation from someone who has used it successfully themselves. We remain eternally grateful to the support of those people.

Whisper it quietly – but something is very much awry with National No Smoking Day. For the second year running, the event, certainly in the print media, was…well….a non-event. Of the dozen or so national newspapers we scanned this week only one featured a stop smoking story.

In contrast to the stark lack of editorial coverage of smoking related topics, The Sun, Metro, The Daily Express, and The Daily Star all carried a whole host of adverts for e-cigarettes and other “nicotine delivery devices”. The “Ad Men” are certainly relishing the event.

The only consolation following the second “wipe-out” stop smoking day in succession is that if the many millions of pounds being pumped into the promotion of NHS Stop Smoking Services and a whole array of nicotine products failed to secure any editorial column inches – Allen Carr’s Easyway To Stop Smoking was always going to struggle to succeed where they failed.

Having said that, the book received a fabulous accolade in The Mirror newspaper – as the NUMBER ONE stop smoking book and we’ve been extra busy in the realms of Social Media… with well over 23,000 “likes” on www.facebook.com/AllenCarr versus a few thousand on www.facebook.com/NoSmokingDay it’s still pretty much –
David (well Allen actually) 1 Goliath 0

Another happy non-smoker from…England

Full Name: Kathy Trenwith from Northants, England

Occupation: retired care manager/RNLD.

Have you tried to quit before and if so, which methods have you tried?
I hadn’t tried stopping smoking for over 15 yrs as I had always been unsuccessful. The last time was using the inhaler method.

Briefly describe your thoughts on the method:
I am just amazed it worked because even at the end I was still wondering how it was going to get me to stop.

Approx date that you stopped smoking? 31/1/13

Briefly describe the impact on your life of having stopped smoking:
More money and I don’t feel as smelly. My cough has improved beyond belief.

Is there something special which you have achieved since you stopped smoking? Did you stop smoking for a specific reason? Any interesting angles that you can highlight about your case would be very useful (but not essential):

I didn’t even want to stop smoking but my daughter’s partner used the method and stopped smoking. Then my daughter did it – so I tried it out of curiosity!!! I had not thought about giving up smoking for years.

I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and thought it wouldn’t do me any harm to stop.
I am really happy now I have stopped and keep telling other smokers. I had my 1st cigarette when I was 5 yrs old and have smoked daily since I was about 9 or 10 yrs old. If I can give up anyone can!!! The method really, truly is a miracle for me!

Another happy non-smoker from .....County Wexford, Ireland

Gillian O – from Co. Wexford, Ireland

Occupation: Beauty Therapist

Have you tried to quit before and if so, which stop smoking methods have you tried? I have tried to quit several times using will power & nicotine patches

Briefly describe your thoughts on the method:
I found it difficult to smoke whilst using the method – it was almost like my mind had been opened to the disgusting thing smoking really is… A slow & painful suicide.

Briefly describe the impact on your life of having stopped smoking: I can cuddle my daughter without reeking of smoke, I can kiss my partner without worrying about my breath. I can save more money towards our wedding. I can breath with ease. I’m less stressed because I know I’m no longer killing myself. I no longer have guilt about smoking. It’s no longer a topic of argument at home.
