In June 2005 my partner and I attended an Allen Carr session in Oxford. We’d both been committed smokers for over 15 years and had never really tried to stop smoking before. It would be fair to say that I smoked about 30 cigarettes a day and thought I enjoyed every single one of them. The thought of stopping filled me with dread. How would I ever enjoy a glass of wine or a meal in a restaurant again! If I stopped I would quite obviously never be able to go into a pub again or have a cup of coffee.

That day in June arrived and I remember pulling up outside the hotel where the session was going to be held. I told my other half that I couldn’t go through with it and that I’d wait in the car for her. The session was set to last for about 5 hours but at that point the fear of not being able to smoke again was overwhelming. I was gently, yet sternly persuaded to follow Tracey into the lobby. I wrote out my check for £200 and sat down to await this miracle cure. To say I was sceptical was an understatement. How could I be persuaded by Kim Bennett, who I’d never met before, to stop smoking? She was claiming to be able to do this in an afternoon, in spite of family and friends trying to convince me for years.

I sat through the session, and went out for smoke breaks with the rest of the class as was permitted. Slowly throughout the day the myths surrounding smoking and why I smoked were broken down by Kim and exposed for what they were, myths. I didn’t need a cigarette to enjoy a meal; smoking destroys your taste buds. In a stressful situation having a cigarette will only increase the stress, not relax you. Non smokers enjoy a pint in a pub, so why couldn’t` I without a cigarette. During the session the health and financial implications of smoking were taken as read. Everyone knows they are expensive and most smokers agree they’ll probably kill you in the end. What the session did for me was to make me realise that I was not giving anything up by stopping smoking, I was gaining so much. I would smell nicer, be able to taste food and wine better, not have a car that smelt of an ashtray, not wheeze when I climbed the stairs, not panic if I see that my packet of cigarettes was running low, and not base practically every action and task in my life around cigarette breaks.

I can’t explain how Kim did it, but by the end of the session I threw away my packet of Marlboro Lights and went home. That night I went out to our local restaurant and enjoyed the best tasting seafood risotto and bottle of Chianti and have never looked back since.

After spending eight years of my life being a slave to cigarettes I decided enough was enough and listened to the Easyway audiobook. That was nine months ago and I have not looked back since. I started back at the gym, which was not easy as my fitness levels were dreadul for a 25 year old, the result of smoking 30 a day for too long. Yesterday I ran my first marathon in a respectable time of 4 hours and 9 minutes and despite a few aches I feel on top of the world. I owe it all to Easyway and fell that I have been given a brighter future. Thank you Mr Carr, your legacy lives on.

I have just put out my last cigarette. I’m new. But the comments I read here brought tears to my eyes. I know I’m done. For the first time I know I’m done and they’re tears of joy. So all your comments make me feel like they say “welcome aboard! Aboard the ship of winners that is!” :D I’m 24 and been smoking for about 8 years and a half.

Thank you, Allen!

I bought the easy way Compact disc
and put it on my ipod and took a long walk and listened to it over a few days.
How amazing that you can stop just like that!
My health and energy levels have just sky rocketed.
And the mental freedom, now that I don’t let myself fall into the previous traps, is so invigorating.
Eternally grateful.

After having the Easyway to stop smoking book for 9 years, I finally read it and stopped smoking on 12th February this year and I have not looked back. As Allen said, it was easy and enjoyable. I thought I could never stop – I am convinced I have an addictive personality, yet I managed to stop smoking easily after 19 years of mid to heavy smoking.

Thank you for an amazing book – I am recommending it to everyone. I live in Turkey where 40% of adults smoke and have bought the DVD in Turkish for my sister in law and her husband – I hope they’ll watch it.

Dear Allen,

I quit smoking thanks to your book. I read it in two days and it helped me a lot. In fact, it saved me from my addiction and my fear of leaving it.

Moreover, I suffered anorexy for some years, and my greater fear was the increase of weight. But you have opened my mind, and now I know I do not need substitutes, but to think I’m free.

If you truly want to become a non-smoker and you are not skeptical and are able to read this book with an open mind – this book will work for you. I am 36 years old and smoked for the last 15 years – even after being a non-smoker for only 4 weeks I feel healthier then I can ever remember. It really was the easiest thing I have ever done!!!!! I know I will never smoke again and I reccommend this book at every possible opportunity. Thanks Allen!!!!!

Went along to an EasyWay clinic on Friday 25th April. Went with an open mind and alot of apprehension!
Its now Tuesday 29th and I haven’t had a smoke! I have thought about smoking but I just tell myself that I’m a non-smoker and the feeling quickly passes.
I’ve smoked for nearly 30 years and have tried to quit b4 using various willpower methods, all with no success just alot of stress.
I am so calm this quit, no stress, no cravings, no anger or tears.
Allen Carr has been the best thing thats ever happened to me!

Yipee!!! I’m Free!!!!

Are you kidding me??? This is absolute genius! Before I came to the end of the book I was already a non-user of nicotine after approximately 18 years of devoted love of the nasty poison. I wish I would have come across this sooner. I will certainly recommend to anyone I know who is struggling with this stupid addiction!

I started smoking 3 months after my 12th birthday. I quit smoking 4 weeks ago today, 4 months before my 46th birthday.

It took a while to get Allen’s message to be a part of my belief system (I read the book 3 times), but it is firmly ingrained and I couldn’t be happier. It was a learning process for me.

This quit (my 4th) has been easier than any other. Why? Because I changed my attitude towards smoking. Thanks to Allen and his book. It really does make perfect sense.

I may be slow on the uptake, but as of right now: I have been Free and Healing for Twenty Seven Days, 18 Hours and 29 Minutes, while extending my life expectancy 1 Day and 1 Hour, by avoiding the use of 305 cigarettes that would have cost me $122.33.

Thank you Allen!

As just another successful reader of Allen Carr .. I just wanted to say how much I appreciated the book. I have recommended it to quite a few people all of whom have also stopped permanently … congratulations and THANK YOU! too easy!

If only I had heard about Easyway 20 years ago. I have been trying for that long to cut down/give up. I thought it was impossibly hard and that I was an addict.

Having read the book – it was easy and I haven’t worried about smoking since. I am spreading the word amongst other smokers I know.

Thank you Allen – I’m now reading Scandal – about why a method which works is largely ignored by the “powers that be”!

It is completely outrageous that your book is not featured front page on every publication and health journal about smoking.

I smoked from the age of 12, and got through an average of 30-40 a day for almost 25 years, and much more at weekends.

After reading your book four times I finally quit smoking on Sunday 13th January 2008. Even more remarkable is the fact that with your help, I was able to quit smoking whilst going through the stress of placing my company into liquidation.

At the age of 43 I am absolutely, totally penniless, but on the other hand, I can breathe deeply without causing a coughing fit and I dont make myself physically sick coughing and spluttering in the mornings!

I am another example disproving the illusion that smoking helps cope with stress. I have gone through the most stressful time of my life and quit smoking without any problem whatsoever. Now I know I can achieve anything in life..

My message to smokers reading this..

..Quit smoking, think young, be beautiful, live your dreams!

Heartfelt thanks to Allen Carr for helping me reclaim my life.

I have finally finished the book! I had two previous attempts where I got half way through, panicked, and hid it under the bed, but on the 3rd attempt I got to the end and smoked my last cigarette last night. I know it’s still early days but I feel great at the moment have stocked up on lots of water & fresh veg and I’m genuinely excited at the prospect of being a healthy non-smoker. At 24 I’d already written myself off as a failure or told myself I’d quit when I have a baby, but I feel brilliant now I’ve stopped putting it off. And I smell amazing!

Tomorrow marks four weeks of being an ex-smoker for me after 13 years of hell being a nictine addict.
I’ve owned the AC Easyway book for three years but only finished it – yep FOUR weeks ago !!
Wonderful book, full of common sense. I feel completely free of the nicotine trap and the fear of the damage I did myself.
BUT I can empathasise with Allens plight in spreading the word. I felt so euphoic and couldn’t wait to tell other smokers how easy it is! But it’s a hostile world out there. Even ex-smokers (who still pine for their old friend the cigarette) can’t stand to hear about it and think i’m weird, preachy and (on one website) a ‘spammer’!. Take that as a compliment….
See if I care then, i’m free!
RIP Allen, and to the rest of the team – keep up the great work. I am so happy I don’t have to smoke anymore!

Dear Everyone

It’s two months since I quit the Easyway and I’m happy to say that I rarely think about it now. I actually logged on to look at the Easyweigh to Lose Weight!! Well, why not!

I had tried using the willpower method before and failed miserably. I told myself I would give up either when I became pregnant or when I hit 30. When I became pregnant at age 25 I quit for about 6 weeks during the morning sickness period when I couldn’t bear to smoke – you’d think after 6 weeks the desire to smoke would have gone but as soon as I could bear it I smoked again. I got pregnant again at 30 – my second milestone! But after 12 weeks of morning sickness I started again, telling myself it ‘wasn’t the right time’, I shouldn’t put myself under that sort of stress whilst I was pregant. My partner quit with an NHS stop smoking clinic and ironically, his advisor told him that I was right, I couldn’t really stop whilst pregnant as the NRT’s couldn’t be prescribed!! Excellent, I thought, validation!! He started again seven months later. My daughter is now 18 months old and I visited the stop smoking nurse, she was awful and obviously hadn’t smoked a cigarette in her life. She gave me patches and told me she was there if I needed her. I put a patch on that evening after the kids were in bed and told myself that was it. By noon the next day I was ready to kill myself, I knew I couldn’t smoke anymore and it was killing me. I called the stop smoking nurse and asked for an Inhalator, thinking if i had something to put in my mouth it would help. I wasn’t craving a cigarette, I just couldn’t stop thinking, I’ll do this and then have a fag, I’ll have a fag and then I’ll do the dishes, it was driving me mental. The nurse wouldn’t give me an Inhalator, said it wouldn’t do me any good. By tea time I was ready to kill everyone. It hadn’t even been 24 hours. I was crying, I was screaming. I managed to get out to karate class after tea, that helped, pretending to punch stuff! After that I went to my friend’s house, who coincidentally had given up smoking over a year ago using the Easyway. She listened to my difficulties and prescribed the book!! I read it in three days, ripped off the patch, got in the shower and didn’t look back!!!!

I did have a couple of doubts, thinking that nothing this easy could work permanently. I kept looking at the Quit Meter on the PC and congratulating myself on a job well done, but feeling a bit like a fraud because it hadn’t been much of a job, just a few hours reading. Three weeks ago (ish) I was out, drunk and had a row, and a bit of a cigarette, mostly to hit out. It was awful. I threw it away after a couple of drags, hating it and myself. The next day I knew that was it for me and the dreaded weed, I spent a few hours beating myself up and then moved on I don’t even bother with the quitmeter now, it’s immaterial. I’m more sure than ever now and it’s all thanks to Allen. Thank you so much for freeing me!!!

I just wish my partner and my mum would have a read, me and my friend are like born again non-smokers, going on and on about the virtues of the ‘good book’!! If only the NHS advisors could be the same. I told the other nurse at my surgery and she took a few notes but she won’t tell anyone about it, well maybe friends but not in a professional capacity I just know it. Such a shame.

Many thanks to the Italian Lady (husband from Dublin)I met on the train to Stansted and her convicton in Easyway. I bought the book the day after our conversation. My husband read it 2 days later and 4 and a half months later is still off them. This is after 15 years of trying to give up and almost 40 years of smoking.

I was on my eighth day of nicotine patches when a friend gave me Allen Carr’s book. I wish I’d heard about it years before! I read it the next weekend and used my patch as my final cigarette. I was as relieved to be free of the patches as much the cigarettes, having tried to stop smoking with them umpteen times and failed the moment the patches were finished. I know for sure I won’t smoke again. Like many others here, I can’t explain the power of the messages to get rid of any cravings but I think it’s fair to say that in the five weeks since I quit nicotine, I haven’t had one crave of any significance whatever and I have been truly elated to live life as a non-smoker, jogging and cycling and getting my fitness back after too many years. I had far worse cravings with the patches on! I know this time it’s for real and it’s forever. It’s a bit spooky but it works! I think it’s because it’s all just so positive. Thank you Allen Carr! Two days after I “escaped” I was truly gutted to hear he had died 18 months ago, I so wanted to write and thank him for what seems like a miracle.

Thank you Allen (RIP) and all those who actively promote the Easyway method! I stopped smoking thanks to the book, and I know I will never put another cigarette in my mouth.

I have always known that the only way for me to stop smoking was to conquer the idea that I actually enjoyed it. The book helped me to realise this truth and guide me through how to go about stopping.

My mum works for the Dorset Healthcare initiative ‘SmokeStop’ and it infuriates me that the NHS dosupport the Easyway method and actively condone the use of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT). I will be doing my best in lobbying the NHS and trying to reverse this counter-productive method.

Your book is now the staple birthday present for all my smoker friends.

Thank you again.

Thanks Sam.
I attended the London clinic in January, once with my partner and then subsequently on my own. I initially failed because of the fear of success, almost my whole family smoke and have smoking related illnesses, my sister was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer shortly after I attended the clinic, I felt it would undermine the severity of their illnesses should I succeed in quitting so easily and I felt guilty.
However I stopped smoking easily and I rarely even think about it now except with regret for my family and relief that I have a chance to escape this fate. I also don’t count the days, hours since quitting etc because I don’t smoke and never will again. I did not have a ‘moment of revelation’ as such, just 20 less things to worry about every day, 24 hours a day.
My partner still smokes, he still thinks he gets some form of pleasure from it. This had always been my stumbling block on previous occasions, with other methods, as I felt deprived and jealous if he continued to smoke, which he always did. Not so with Easyway, I feel free as I know the truth. I hope he does soon if my daughter is to have any siblings (the smell), but he may take some time to come around.
I have donated one copy of the book to my dearest smoking friend and left a further used copy in my doctors surgery smoking clinic waiting room in the hope it will catch on there.

Thanks again for giving my little girl her Mummy back and for my future.

Briefly…...I read the book in 2006 and ENJOYED stopping (at the end of the book) my 33 years of torture. Towards the end of last year, I made the stupid mistake of smoking a cigar. I was soon back to a packet of cigarettes per day, and then 30 a day.

Three weeks ago, I read the book again, and was VERY relieved that it was just as easy and enjoyable to stop smoking for a second time.

Imagine a book that could save your life…
Thank God for Allen Carr!!!

I attended the clinics and although I did one main session and then needed three more follow up sessions – I quit after the third follow-up session and have not smoked for 10 months! The best part is that when I did quit it was effortless and I do not miss it at all!

It really is easy – I stopped last night (3 April) at 10pm. It is the second time I have used Allan’s book because I failed on the instruction “there’s no such thing as one cigarette”. I know how great I felt last time I stopped and that has really helped this time round as I never want to feel as down as I did when I smoked. Thank you Allan – I know you are watching over me.

I have been meaning to post for some time now….in December 2007 I was told by a Doctor that I had to quit. At that time I had smoked for 19.5 years and considered myself a ‘confirmed’ smoker who ‘enjoyed’ smoking.

But something in me had changed and I knew I had to stop no matter what. I was frightened of doing so.

To cut a long story short….I would not have done it without Mr Carr’s book. I recommend it to every smoker I know – and even smokers I don’t know! This is my 80th smokefree day – and I feel wonderful to be FREE. Thank you Mr Carr – God bless you; I know it would have made you so happy to see the growing list of thank-you messages on this website.

THANK YOU dear man. x

Day before yesterday @5 in the evening, I extinguished the final cigarette of my life!

This is/was not one of the routine resolutions I make and break on a daily-basis. This was final. I have a pack of cigarette lying in my bedroom. Never felt like having one since I quit. The real “difference” in this particular resolution was “I didn’t quit smoking” BUT “I overcame the smoking trap”. Thanks to Alan Carr and his book “Easy way to quit smoking”.

Some books does make differences. Lately, I read quite a few books that had a fine impression on me. And Alan Carr’s book is one of it. Such is his method. The introductory passage reveals one of the worst smoker’s I have seen/heard of in my life, who happens to be the author of the book. He managed to cut smoking from hundred/day to zero/day in a day. A hypnotist made this possible he says, but that didn’t make up the proper reasoning. His further research on his self materialized into this novel effort, which has saved millions of smokers as claimed.

Its tough to realize if one could make his fortune so easily but his Easyway® clinics are now located worldwide and this book has already seen millions of copies. He was a selfless man, as he reveals in the last paras of the book with a mission to cure people with a disease which almost killed him by a method very much his own.

Shortly after being a non-smoker, having finished his book, I read his biography. Frankly, I wanted to thank him. Unfortunately, he’s no more. The news read he met death due to lung cancer. He had to pay off for the smoke he accumulated over years but he had no confessions. But, in spite of knowing this fact, he spent his non-smoking days in his smoke-filled clinics (he asked patients to quit smoking only after done with consultation- so he says in the book). Was he a saint or a crack? I don’t know but one thing is for sure, and Alan Carr would agree with me here:
Smokers are strong people with high willpowers (but not vice versa :)).

Thinking on what made me quit, I can list out the following reasons:
1. I read the book with a mindset of quitting smoking (Well-preparedness)
2. Realization of the truth of “nicotine addiction”- the “withdrawal pangs”. (Brainwash)

I feel as if recovering out of a disease. Each day, every hour is better than before, and I am no longer “surviving without cigarettes” but “coming out of smoking trap”. The phrase made the difference. Thanks again Alan!

I went to the Glasgow session on 23rd Feb this year and smoked my LAST cigarette at about 12.45.

I don’t know how the course worked as i read the book years ago and although i stopped for a few days, i started again (can’t remember why). All i know is that several pennies just dropped and my understanding of the whole stop smoking process has kicked in and i now loath the whole smoking/nicotine replacement industry.
(Does anyone else think it is their “mission” to try to help others to stop now or is that just me? :-)

Anyway it is just over 1 month and while i realise that this is nothing after being a smoker for almost 30 years i KNOW that i will never smoke again.

The scary thing is i am 43 and can’t even remember what it is like being a non smoker as it was so long ago, all i can do now is look forward to life as a non smoker.

Good luck to everyone else who has stopped (although “luck” doesn’t have anything to do with it).

My wife read the book and stopped smoking before she was even done. she was so happy and really seemed at peace, with no signs of craving, i wondered what the “gimmick” was. so i started reading it out of curiosity, but i told her firmly, i would not be quitting so soon after my latest attempt; i just wasn’t ready. well, i read all the way to the end. i’m now a happy non-smoker, even though i “wasn’t ready to quit.” the book is THAT good.

Hi,
friend of my suggested the Easyway book to me. I was getting ready to go on vacation to Cuba, and looking forward to smoking everywhere! On the other hand I wanted to quit smoking again ( yes I did it for three years and than started again). I bought the book, and read it while laying on the beach. My friends were laughing at me since I had this book in my hand saying Easyway to quit smoking an I had a cigarete in the other hand! When I had my final cigarete I didn’t make a big deal, or said anything to anyone. They didn’t even notice I am not smoking until late that night, after dinner. They did laugh at me, and one said: “O common you don’t even smoke much” I just smiled at her, and said nothing.I knew in my heart that I don’t need to explain anything. Last time when I quit smoking I would go into debate about why I quit and how good it feels, I guess I tried to convince myself more than the other person.
After reading the book, I am confident that I don’t want to smoke ever again, and I feel great.
I just wanted to say Thank you!

Although I managed to quit smoking with Allen Carr’s method I was so foolish to start smoking after 2 years. BUT! I managed to quit with your method for the second time! It’s really incredible! Now I will pay more attention to Allen’s advices for preventing smoking again!

Rest in peace, Allen. God bless you.

I have smoked 40-50 a day for over 40 years. In September last year my wife’s sister lent me the book, which I had never heard of before. I started reading it at 2.30 pm and by 9.00 pm when I finished it,I was a non smoker. if anyone had told me this was possible, I would have called them a liar! Since then i have not had a cigarette, and have no interest in them. I can stand beside a smoker and have no cravings at all. I do not believe I will ever smoke again.

Excellent group session in Brighton, thank you Sam and the Allen Carr’s Easyway team. I must say I was sceptical, although feeling positive about giving up, wasn’t sure the session had worked for me.

However, 4 days later and still a non-smoker, after 18 years of 20 a day, the penny has now dropped and the realisation of the success of Allen Carr’s method has brought a smile to my face. I’m still not quite sure how it worked, but it has and I look forward to the rest of my life as a non smoker as I was before my first cigarette, shame I can’t be 18 again :-).

Thanks

After 10 years of smoking a pack a day, I quit smoking and have not had a cigarette in a year. Allen Carr’s system shows you how the addiction is much smaller than you think!

Dear Mr. Allen Carr;

I was a smoking Turkish citizen 10 days ago.. I found your book in the biggest book store of our country and my girlfriend gave it as a gift to me.. I was a hard smoker I was nearly eating my cigars while smoking them.. I never thought I could give up..

As you’ve told us in your book “I wasn’t so excited to read your book” but I did one night and only the foreword made my brain work.. I read till 5 am that night and the book was over and I was in my bed smoking my last one and giving up.. I was excited and very happy that I could finally give the good news to my girlfriend..
.. I made my friends read your book and 7 people I recruited till now :)) I will continue making people non-smokers.. Thank you a lot again..

After watching the dvd I realised that the worst part of quitting smoking is the fear before you give up. Even though I felt some physical withdrawal, the dvd gave me the tools to break my psychological addiciton. After 10 years I’m finally a non-smoker!

Hi Allen

It’s over three years now since I read your book & stopped smoking, and I am very happy that I did. It has been the platform for a more positive, happy, and successful approach to life for me. It’s like stepping out from a shadow and discovering a freedom you only dreamed of.

One thing I’d like to mention though, because it may be of interest to you, is that I had to read the book twice. I read it once, stopped smoking, felt good, but after a couple of weeks a very close family member died and the stress kicked in. In the end I found myself standing outside the family home after the funeral in the cold, surrounded by about 7 friends & family, most of whom were smoking, and I gave in & started again. I felt bad, but decided there and then that in a couple of months, once the main grief had passed, I’d read the book again. Which is what I did, and a little over three months after the funeral I stopped smoking again and this time it stuck.

I think the message might be that occasionally unforseen & extremely trying events can hit a new non-smoker early in the piece, but that a second attempt with a fresh mind (accepting that the event, whatever it was, was a genuine piece of bad timing)can work just fine.

Hope this is of interest or use to you, and thank you very much for your words and sense, it has changed my life for the better.

I quit 12 years ago after reading Allen Carr’s book. The idea that inspired me most went something like this: everytime a smoker smokes a cigarette they are trying to get into the state non smokers are in all the time! WOW – imagine that! Smoking doesn’t help me think, doesn’t help me concentrate, doesn’t keep me slim, all it does is satisfy the nicotine addiction so that for a few minutes each time I lit up, I was feeling like a non-smoker! Non smokers go through life not craving, not needing to smoke, I wanted that more than anything. And I quit! I have never smoked another cigarette, and I never will. I have no desire to, and each time I think about how I used to smoke, I thank my lucky stars for Allen Carr.

attended session in Edinburgh last sunday (9 March) didn’t know what to expect and at the end didn’t feel anything – but I do know that when I left I really was a non-smoker! I cant believe it-I am so happy, have tried so many times, each time I couldnt wait to fail so that I could have a cigarette again-this time I have absolutely no desire to fail or have a ciggie. It is a wonderful feeling knowing that I wont smoke again-Thanks a million to Allen Carr and his wonderful method RIP

Dear Allen
Thanks very much for showing me your fantastic way of stopping the dreaded weed.I couldn’t believe how easy it was.I am 49 years old,and had a 60 a day habit.Your book was lying around at work,so I took it home,read half of it,thought it made a lot of sense,but put it to one side.Several months later whilst off work,I started your book at 7 in the morning and by 4.30 in the afternoon,I just never lit another cigarette,and as you say,I enjoyed the experience of quitting.3 months have gone now,and I know that I wont smoke again.I am now passing on your name to all the smokers that I know,a lot of them say,that if I quit,the person who never had one out of his hand,then they could.Thanks again for helping me change my life for the better. All the best Allen Peter Walmsley

I had been smoking for over 30 years (at least 30 a day for the last 8 – 10 years. (In the past I have half heartedly attempted to stop. EVERYTHING the book mentioned, e.g. feelings of deprivation were so trues!! Needless to say none of those attempts worked.
I bought the book in September last year, thinking ‘what harm can it do to read it?’ I then didn’t pick it up till November 2007 and only then because it states you don’t give up smoking whilst reading!!!
Let me say I could NOT carry on smoking all the way through the book and I had my last cig on 30th November 2007.
Eveything that helped me in the book helped me stay off cigarettes through the short period of nicotine withdrawal (which by the way was nowhere near as bad as I had expected!!!)
and on my fridge it still says ‘one more cig will cost me 50,000!!! It’s just a reminder now and it makes me smile at how easy it has been to save all that money!!!
Thank you so very much for giving me back everything I was giving up to stay a smoker.

I attended the clinic in Oxford on March 9th. THANK YOU :-) I can’t believe I ever smoked!! And it’s been such a pleasure – I can taste by food better, I can breathe better, I can kiss my 18mth old daughter goodnight and not worry about the smell – and of course my husband loves it too :-) But the biggest thing is that I really really don’t want or need a smoke – it’s just awesome – no other word for it.

The Easyway method does just what it says on the tin!! Anyone thinking about it – you really must try it. You’ve only got your health to lose. (Seriously!!)

Thank you everyone who was there on Sunday, it was great to meet other people wanting the same thing. Here’s to all you lovely non-smokers! :-) And a big thank you Emma.

I attended an Allen Carr Clinic on 13th January2008 with my partner. We had both been smokers for 18 years. It is now March 12th 2008 and we are still happy non-smokers!! I really cannot believe it and really cannot pinpoint anything in the clinic that made me become a none smoker, but it worked and it has made me want to tell the world about how successful I feel these clinics are to smokers out there. Definately worth every penny spent and worth the freedom that I now feel of being a non smoker.

I just wanted to let you know that i have not smoked any cigarettes since that day….

I smoked for over 30 years and have tried many many times to stop, so i am proud of myself .

This is the second time of reading it and, although I thought it the first time round, I’m absolutely positive I will never have another one.

It’s graet. Thanks.

I bought your book the same day it was recommended to me by my sister, who had against my wildest dreams become a non-smoker. It could not have come at a better time since my boyfriend is scheduled for a smoking related surgery next week. We both read the book immediately and we really enjoyed it. I want to thank you, since we are both non-smokers, we are on day three but KNOW we are done. Thanks, for giving us our life back. I have already made a list of people in my life that I will insists they read your book.

I cannot believe that reading a book can do so much good, I had tried patches, gum, will-power, cutting down and each time I failed. I was inspired with confidence and the idea of success right from page 1 with Alan’s book and recommend it to everyone now. I had my last ciggarette on 14th October 2007 and I feel like I’ve never smoked before. I know I will never have another in my life, and for a 20 a day smoker for 6 years thats a pretty big comment to make.

Thanks Alan!!!

Allen Carr is my hero. My only regret is that I never told him so myself or said thank you to him for changing my life and ensuring my health for the future.

I was fourteen years old when I smoked my first cigarette. After a year or so of hard work I was hooked. Although I never admitted I had a niccotine addiction until I was 25 and ready to stop for good.

To cut a long story short I had owned The Easyway book for two years. I had bought it during one of my stop attempts, read that I should continue smoking whilst reading it, jumped at the opportunity to spark up and then closed the book, not daring to open it again for two years as I was afraid to be a non smoker. The next time I decided to quit I did not smoke whilst reading the book. I finished it three years ago now and have been a happy (sometimes annoying) ex smoker ever since.

I work in healthcare and spread the Allen Carr method as often as I can. Word of mouth and sharing our success stories thanks to Allen will ensure that other smokers can stop for life too.

Thanks, Esther x

I quit smoking using your book and I am very, very thankful. The thought process I underwent helped me make other radical changes in my life and perspective. For example: after quitting smoking at the start of this year I went on a 100% raw food diet. Can you please make The Easy Way to Lose Weight available in Canada? We are part of the Queen’s Commonwealth, after all, so it’s only fair – wouldn’t you say? I have friends who are really fat and they could use this book!

I really want to tell you how easy it was to quit smoking – not the first dozen or so times though, only the last time!

My husband and I read Allen Carr’s Easy Way 20 months ago and haven’t looked back!

The awesomely cool thing is that we aren’t ex smokers, we are NON SMOKERS!

Life is so wonderful since quitting, so much less stress, so much more money, so many more opportunities that once we would have thought we were going to miss out on because we couldn’t stop for that fag.

Highly highly recommend it! And I have lent the CD’s and the book to all my smoker friends and the only one it hasn’t worked on is the one who won’t read it!

I did it, I am a happy non smoker! I am sad Allen Carr is no longer around to thank personally, it is possible that he quite literally has saved my life. NRT didn’t make sense to me, something Allen agrees with, so I went with the willpower method having no other alternative. Allen was right, I felt like I was giving something up, I was miserable and he hit the nail on the head when he said I was waiting for something to happen. How true his words are! I was struggling with the will power method and knew NRT was never going to work for me. I was looking for something, some real help and information, I knew the problem was in my head but no one seemed to understand. That’s when I found the Easy Way book. I share his anger and annoyance that the government support is misguided at best, but I hope that one day, and soon, this will change. Doctors need to stop handing out NRT prescriptions, the government needs to stop those cancer adverts. Give out prescriptions for Allen Carr’s Easy Way book! Send people to his clinics! I hope that one day Allen’s dream will be realised, the world might eventually be rid of smoking. Thank you Mr Carr.

I think Alan Carr’s book is brilliant-mind you, I had to read it twice and then the sequel ‘The only way to stop smoking permanently’- it took some time to sink into my thick skull but now I feel that my eyes have been opened and I haven’t smoked for 4 months. My husband has packed in too, (didnt read the book) but hasnt got the same resolve; we both have cravings, but he just thinks it’s inevitable that he will smoke again. I know I won’t- I dont want to! I feel like a black cloud has been lifted, and I feel like I’m a better parent too. I watched both my parents die of lung cancer and never want my kids to go through that. I want to tell everyone about this because relying on nicorette doesnt work! You have to change the way you think about smoking first- and the rest will follow. Cant help sounding a bit righteous about it, it comes with the elation of getting shut of tobacco forever!

Dear Easyway,

This is a miracle. I smoked for 8 years and after Easyway I have been smoke and nicotine free for 8 months now.

This is my story with Easyway as a book.

I inadvertently stumbled across an Easyway book in a chain book store in my hometown.

Remembering my mother said that she had seen an actor talk about such a method on a late night program, I bought it and read it with hope in my heart and at a nonchalant pace while I continued to smoke.

When I finished the book, the tears rolled down my cheeks as I breathed in and out the soot and poison of my last cigarette. As I put it out I sobbed for what had been a vile and disgusting habit of smoking for those 8 years and I haven’t looked back.

How very lucky I am to have found this or I’d still be smoking today.

Thank you! Thank you! for saving my life. Words don’t seem to describe the joy that I feel in being a non-smoker.

I feel as though I can accomplish other healthy habits as a result of my success with Easyway.

I am so grateful for the help you have given me. With Easyway hopefully the smoking addiction will fade away into the distant past for mankind.

Good luck in your all your work and the fight against the organizations that try to keep you down for this is truly an amazing method. Bless you all.

smoked a cigarette since that day. I would like to take this

Feb 25, 01:10 pm #

I started to read the book many years ago after my mother stopped smoking as a result of reading it. I attended however a clinic session here in Brussels and walked out an ex-smoker.

I learned nothing that I didn’t already know – deep down… but what the clinic did was to put everything in the correct perspective without making me feel an utter fool or knocking my confidence further. I was offered a way of managing the fall-out from stopping smoking and the experience since then has been as the group facilitator described.

I left the clinic not wanting to smoke but feeling a bit scared all the same. What the clinic did was expose my addiction for what it was, and then it equipped me to deal with that in a way that left me not feeling deprived at all.

I did buy the book (updated since the first edition that I had read many years ago and not completed) just to run through it all again. My decision to investigate the clinic angle was thanks to a visit to a friend in Australia – he was an even more hardened smoker than I (at worst, I probably racked up 40 a day – at the time of stopping i was a packet a day girl – Ray was more a 60 a day man before he stopped). I wanted to know how he stopped and if he found it difficult. he explained that he attended a Carr clinic in Melbourne and walked out a happy ex-smoker. I was impressed and remembered that my mother had stopped by reading the book – she has stayed stopped for 20 years!

I feel optimistic about staying stopped – I do not avoid smokers now – neither do I wish to join them in a cigarette. Gum always made me feel like I was about to go into cardiac arrest – because of that I didn’t even want to try patches. In any case I didn’t feel that I had any amount of will power, and I really didn’t think I could do it at all.

This method does what is says on the packet!!! My friends – smokers and non-smokers alike – are fascinated.
I am really happy and would be very pleased if this approach would work on my sister. She has been on the patches and the gum off and on for several years, and still can’t kick the ciggies. I’m going to give her the opportunity to attend a clinic in Edinburgh. I think this might work for her.

If you are reading this as you’ve heard of Allen Carr and his method and are wondering ‘whether it’s worth trying’ and you’ve tried stopping smoking before and failed, then like me, you need to read his book properly and understand it. Some people fail because they don’t take to reading a book in which case, it might be better to watch the DVD instead if that might help. Allen’s book has without doubt been a lifesaver for me and I hope others will have the same success and be able to look back in years to come and be glad they did it. Lesson over, now get that book!!!!

Just a note to say thank you – and to let everyone know that it does work! I bought The Easy Way To Stop Smoking book in August 2007 and more than 6 months later I am still a non smoker. It does work. When I tried NRT before this I only lasted 4 days. The best investment of my life. And I have saved in excess of £1000.

I stopped smoking easily about halfway through the book haha, I kept reading the book anyway to make sure I wouldn’t go back and there is no chance of that. I have never felt better in my life.
Unfortunately my partner has tried hypnotherapy and a number of other quit methods, he still smokes a couple of packs a day, but I’m still hopeful he’ll make the change.

I am so sorry: while I was stopping smoking, using the “easy way” method, exactly in November of 2 years ago, Allen was dieing. It’s really a peaty. However, I must testify: the method worked, it was easy to stop. I am still a no smoker. I never suffered for stopping. And I cannot understand why I smoked before. Thank you Allen… so long.

Hi. I’m just starting to use your book, the Easy way to stop smoking, with my students, as some of them made goals to quit. In December 1993, my mum was nagging me to quit smoking. I’d been trying for a couple years, and while I could stop, I couldn’t stay stopped. Mum gave me your book, and I thought “I’ll just read this dumb book to get her off my back.” I was under a lot of stress, and engaged to a smoker, and didn’t think it was the ‘right’ time. Half way through the book, I sat with a friend one day, she’d stopped smoking recently, and I smoked two cigarettes. I had no idea they were my last! I just never had another one. I’ve been a non smoker for fifteen years now. Mum gave this book to every smoker she met, and I recommend it constantly – most of the people I know who have stopped long term, have used this book. Here’s to a smoke-free world! Thanks!

Well yes indeed. Its been 10 months now. I know it is over for good, and I still feel so happy every day that I dno’t need to smoke any more.

I recently attended the Allen Carr’s workshop, and waited for some kind of revelation, euphoria, someting to “click”, that would make me a non smoker. It didn’t – I came home and thought GREAT I’VE JUST PAID A WEEKS WAGES TO NOT SMOKE- that money could have been spent on this or that whinge whinge. Point Being – I have not smoked, and felt sick at the smell of a smoker walking past me. I doubt that I will every smoke again. The cigarette companies have just lost a committed 25 years smoking customer.

In just a few weeks since quitting smoking using Easyway, I can walk without severe pain for the first time in years. What a revelation this has been! I knew I’d breathe easier and feel better, but I didn’t know (despite many doctors visits trying to find out why I couldn’t walk a block) that I would regain my mobility. Allen Carr said smoking deprives our bodies of oxygen, and I see now this is what happened to my legs after 35 years of smoking. Thanks doesn’t begin to say it. My new freedom literally means I can walk again.I can’t wait to help others ‘see the light’!

I just wanted to report that I too have finally stopped smoking after 15 years. I always said I’d stop but always found a reason not too. I became a non smoker 11 days ago and have found it much easier than I ever could have expected. Even during stressful times I realise that I would previously have lit up but now feel strangely relieved that I dont have to! I’m free and cant quite believe it!
Thankyou Allen – you gave so much back to so many people, myself included.

I’m 33years of age. After smoking for 15years and trying to quit cold turkey and other ways, i was willing to try anything. After hearing a mate of mine stopping i had to have a go myself. If he could do it ( would not have expected it from him) so could I!

Its been 3 clean, fresh, energetic, healthy, great tasting & smelling years without the cancer sticks.

One of the most inspiring things that made me pull my finger out was when, the book said “DON’T MOPE ABOUT IT GET UP AND DO SOMETHING ”.....

You know what i did? I dusted the old road push bike and started to ride. I now ride 4 to 5 times a week averaging 100kms. And when i get off the bike i have hardly cracked a sweat nor am i gasping for air.

I want to thank you Mr Carr for saving & giving me my life back. Your book belongs next too every cigarette stand in the world.

Thank you verrrrrrry much

Dear Kim

I attended your session in Oxford on February 18th, came home relayed the whole thing to my husband (at the time also a smoker) and we are both still NON-SMOKERS!! it’s fantastic, and I just wanted to drop you an email to say what a wonderful success it has been for us. The only drawback is that we can now smell everything and quite frankly smokers absolutely stink!

Strangely when I see someone with a cig in the hand I forget it even exists and then think ‘do people still do that’ -how gross !!

Would really like to do the Weight loss one now, can you give me some info please.

Thanks

We bought a copy of the book each and gave up together. After 30 years of smoking we couldn’t believe that anything could be so simple. We pinch ourselves each day and rejoice in how lucky we are to have learned of this simple non patch, non drug way to quit smoking. Where are the NHS? Why don’t they use this method instead of spending millions of pounds in prescriptive, addictive anti smoking aids? We have lent our books out and spread the good word.
Thank you Allen Carr from the bottom of our hearts and lungs :-)

I was so elated to be free, I couldn’t wait to write to Allen and thank him personally.
I was shocked and saddened to learn of his passing in 2006. I feel like he was right here with me while I read his book. I also felt like he had been watching me all my smoking life. He knows exactly what we all have gone through. I am 40 yrs old and started smoking when I was 16. I tried quitting with will power-lasted 1 year, then the patches- lasted 9 months, then the nicotine gum- lasted 2 weeks. I wish I had discovered him sooner. I read his book in 2 days and was amazed at how brainwashed I had been. I truly feel sorry for smokers and hope I can help guide some to being smoke free.

I cant praise this method enough. I read the Only Way to Give Up Smoking Permantely, 11 years ago. It was so easy and I still get frustrated with friends who still feel the need to smoke. I know how liberating life is without cigarettes and can only pass on how great the method is. Thankfully my mother who smoked for over 30 years gave up 10 years ago too. Ive saved approx £15,000, my health, dont have the stress of being a social pariah and I dont smell anymore either!

I began smoking in the late 70’s, and have been a pretty consistent pack a day smoker ever since. On January 28,2008, I smoked my last cigarette after completeing the book. I can only begin to express my gratitude, and would like you to know that I will be spreading the word-there’s already a number of people looking for the book because they are amazed at my success.
It disturbed me to hear about Mr. Carr’s passing, which I found out about only after visiting this website yesterday. My condolences to his family and freinds. Having never met the man, I feel as though we were connected, and I truly feel a sense of loss. All the best to the Allen Carr’s Easyway methods, you can certainly count on my support.

THE MONSTER

For all of us who smoke the weed,
we think we only serve our need,
but lying deep within us all,
a monster roars, we hear his call,
and so reach out for a cigarette,
it’s feeding time for our little pet,
to keep him calm our only aim,
and so we gladly take the blame,
He’s settled now, but not for long,
and all too soon we hear his song,
there’s no escape he needs his meal,
with no regard to how we feel,
he tries to kill his willing host,
but plays it slow, to take the most,
and when we’re gone will look around,
until a new young victim’s found,
he’ll wait until the first one’s lit,
then enter swiftly, there he’ll sit,
demanding food for ever more,
he wants his poison, hear him roar,
the more we feed, the more he grows,
the sad fact is that no-one knows,
don’t keep him close, your little pet,
just let him go with no regret,
starvation keeps his wrath at bay,
‘til the monster withers clean away.
Inspired by Allen Carr with love and gratitude.

i started smoking when i was 14, and at nearly 20, i was smoking 20 a day. i regularly walk to attempt to keep my fitness up, and started to feel that the smoking was having an effect on my health.
i read the book and went walking on the glorious weather that we have just encountered a week after stopping smoking and there was already an amazing difference in my fitness, as i was able to walk up the hill without feeling as out of breath as normal!!! THANK YOU ALLEN CARR!

I read Allen’s book in Jan 08 and stopped immediately. My brother had read it before Xmas and stopped also. Although I was committed to stopping I was sceptical that the written word could have such a profound effect. However, it did and the feeling is great. I cannot believe what a mug I was to smoke as long as I did (22 years – ahhh). Stopping was easy and I would recommend this approach to everyone. Indeeed I have encouraged a number of friends and colleagues to read the book. So far I have helped three others to stop…more to follow I hope.

Thank you Allen and all those who have helped and supported you.

YIPEE!!! I’m a now a non smoker! I’m 25 and have been smoking for 14 years. Now that Ive got a family I thought it important to quit. Not only for my family but for myself also. My father recommended the book and I thought “if he could do it (smoker, 30 years) then I can definatly do it! And I have. Thank you.
I am a professional musician,(Singer/songwriter) and am so exstatic about quitting smoking that I would gladly write a promotional song for any campaign you may wish to pursue in the future.
Thanks for freeing me.

I owned Allen Carr’s book for several years, read it, but I never quite succeeded in quiting. This year I turned 35 and decided to attend a slimming club. As I lost my first stone I decided that I should try to quit the smoking again. I re-read the book and this time the message sunk in. I have now been free for two weeks and see smoking in a totally different light. My desire to smoke has gone up in, er… smoke!

Everyone tells you that you shouldn’t try to lose weight and quit smoking at the same time “It’s impossible!” they say. I’m finding it EASIER to lose weight without smoking. And it’s taken years off me. I keep looking in the mirror as I can’t believe how much better I look, and I feel so much healthier and happier too.

Allen gave me the key to escape the nicotine prison. I was sad to hear he died. I only wish I could thank him personally, I owe him a great deal.

I don’t know what I could possibly say to you to adequately express what you have given me. I thank God for you. I could tell for a very long time that if I kept smoking, it would kill me. It burned and hurt me in a way it did not hurt others my age who smoked the same amount or less. My uncle and grandfather both perished due to smoking (tongue cancer and lung cancer), and I could feel my body trying to beg me to stop. I read your book, suffered for three days against the addiction, and then felt as though I had escaped prison. Thank you.

I smoked for almost ten years until quitting with Alan Carr’s method.

My girlfriend bought my the book as part of a law school graduation package. I did what many recommend against: I quit while studying for the bar. (I gained from quitting; why not gain something during a stressful time?)

Not only did I pass the bar, I haven’t smoked since!

While reading the last chapter of the book, I was walking around the house, puffing my last cigarette, while throwing out all my ashtrays.
I finished the book, threw out the last ashtray, and broke up the rest of my cigarette pack. Its only been a bit over 24 hrs, but I know that I am a non-smoker.

Hi Natalie.

Well I am at the six month mark.
The system has worked for me because
I believe I have handled it emotionally.
This was possible because of the content in the course.
I also believe that if I went cold turkey on the same day I would be back on them.
I feel that all round I handle stress
a lot better too.
I enjoy cycling more and went up market on a new bike with the proceeds of not smoking.
I tried three times over 31 years and this system was what worked.
I am hard core, and don’t care to be told that it is bad and controlling or I will die etc, not interested in the slightest.
I gave up to enjoy sport and to not smell of it whilst doing business.
I felt I was ready, and it appears so.
In any case the all-round benefits are great.

Thanks again Natalie.

I have had Allens’ book for 4 years and started to read it back then and never finished it. Just recently my children asked me when I was going to stop smoking, I replied by saying when I finish this detox I’ll give up. Well four days into the detox my 8 yr old son asked me again, so I picked up the book and started to read it again. I read it and finished it within 5 days, I had my final smoke on finishing the book. For myself I jumped up and down when I put the smoke out and yelled out “I’m a non smoker”. I honestly feel that I have know cravings for a smoke. I feel like I’ve never smoked before in my life. I gave up smoking may times but the little nicotine monster inside kept pulling me back. I was sad to read that Allen had passed on but he has left behind a fantastic legacy to many millions of people who want to take on the nicotine monster. Thank you so much

I was just looking for an email address to say thank you to the great man when i read that he had sadly passed away in 2006.

I sadly started to experiment with cigaretts when I was 9 Years old, my mother used to buy me 5 Park Drive as reward for cleaning the house.

I have just read the Book “The Easy Way To Stop Smoking” By Alan Carr. As I read through the book I slowly lost the will to smoke, I continued to read right to the end. What a Guy this Alan Carr fellow was, It should read SIR ALAN CARR.

Any ways after 40 years puffing on the fags, Alan helped me puff my last puff.

God Bless Alan

Thank you for changing my life! I downloaded Easy Way from I-Tunes in May last year and it was the best money I have ever spent. Having smoked 20 a day since the age of 18 I thought that I was going to be hooked for life. Thinking now of how I used to have near panic attacks if I only had half a packet left on a night out, now makes me laugh – how stupid was I.

Now I can enjoy nights out even more (especially as I don’t have to go outside every 15 minutes) and feel amazing.

Thank you for saving my life!

Dear Allen,

I have now been a non-smoker for 15 months, after having smoked heavily for 14 years. And I just wanted to thank you getting me off the smokes for good. I didn’t think it could be that simple and easy, without cravings or substitutes. I read your book, while smoking, and just bloody-well stopped! Hurray for you. You saved my life and my sanity. I haven’t had one moment where I ever wanted to touch a cigarette again. Cured for life.
Thank you so much,

Hi
Just want to say finished the book a few days ago and couldn’t wait to finish my last cigarette. Its only been 3 days so far, but it has just been soooo easy- no physical pain whatsoever. I am ashamed to say I purchased Allen’s book about 8 years ago and got maybe half way through and never looked at it again until last week when I decided to give it a go. I now wished I had read it all those years ago. But YIPEE – I’M FREE.
Hope you know how many people you are still helping Allen. RIP

I didn’t know what to write here because I have so much to say, so I asked my sister for help. She said just two words-CELEBRATION & FREEDOM!Because that’s what I heard you say over and over. Stopping smoking was a fun and wonderful experience for me and I will never forget. Thank you so much for restoring my COURAGE Allen Carr! Yippee! I’m a non-smoker!!!

As I sit here getting over the cold and the flu I sit in appreciation that I am a non-smoker going though this. I remember in the past, even though smoking would make me feel worse, it wasn’t something that I would consider doing without. That’s when it should have clicked with me how addicted I was to nicotine.

My husband and I have been smoke-free for the past 8 months. We both started smoking at the age of 12, so we were pretty good at it :-)

A friend of mine spoke of this book that a friend of hers read and said that she quit smoking. I said to her, “What the hell is in the book?”. She bought one for me and one for her. I read the book first, very easy reading around the pool one day. I had two packs left in my carton and thought that I would try it Mind you when I got the book, I had no intentions of quitting, I was just curious.

Two days later my husband read the book after he notice I put mine down and he quit as well.

Like I said earlier, it’s been 8 months for both of us. I am so grateful to my friend for getting me the book. She read hers, put the smokes down for a while but went back to them. Go figure?

Here’s a cute story.

I guess my 6 year old grandson listens more that I think because one day a friend was over and she was smoking. Spencer leaned over to me and said, “Grandma, I don’t think she read the book yet”!

Feel free to use my testimony on the website.

Eternally grateful!

Hey there

I have been smoking for like 30+ years, hand rolled Duch tobacco. Did’nt think the cigaret’s you can buy tasted of anything.
Last week I’d finished Allan Carr’s book on how to stop smoking, and the moment I closed the book I gave up the 30 year old habit and become a happy non-smoker.
No problems to that thing at all, I’we always tught it would be hard to quit smoking, but no problems at all.
I have been a happy non-smoker for a week now and I haven’t felt no need at all for a cigarette

Thanks Allan for your words.

Mr. Carr, as most who have read your book I too, am sending my “thank you’s”
I had stopped smoking a week before I read your book- after reading your book I was confirmed in my convictions and “energized” about my decision.
As gifts I have purchased your book for two other friends and expressed to others ( who have asked me ) to read it.
My friend was recently diagnosed with lung cancer – and this news has greatly affected all my friends and family. Your book has been a great comforting support system and I have the checklist on my refrigerator !

In ending I would like to add I now have 4 non-smokers in our cirlcle of friends and the support system has been wonderful – anyone who wants to bash or judge smokers – I simply say read Allen’s Book before you say any more….. Everyone has to come to their on conclusions the deciding factor for me was realizing that I am not giving up anything. Your encouragement to treat life just as you were – was an incredible joyous journey. Im grateful for the wisdom!
Choice is a beautiful word !
Thanks you

After many years of trying different methods, In November 2006 i purchased Allan Carrs Easy Way to quit Smoking.I took my time reading it so that i understood it properly, everyone around me refused to believe this method could work (Smokers mainly)After 2 weeks i smoked my last cigarette and freed myself from this awfull habit.. The following day i heard that sadly Allan carr had pasted away, This gave me more motivation to carry on on my journey in memory to him!! I have not touched or craved a cigarette since that day!! Over 14 months ago.
Thank you so much Allan..God bless you! xxxx lyndsey

I have red the EASYWAY last summer and very painlessly abstained from smoking for 3 or 4 months. However, I enjoy an occasional doobie with friends and that was my undoing! I have forgotten the instruction about taking no nicotine whatsoever..so around Christmas I have started “puffing” on “special” occasions again and at New Years I’ve even bought my self a package.

I have just finished rereading the Book and this time, I am convinced, it is the Real Thing. Evidently I am one of those who find it really easy to stop..and start again. Not anymore! I have also realised that part of the brainwashing about “enjoying” a cigarette on partys was still very much there. I believe I have got rid of it- as well as of the filthy weed!

They say the second try is not quite as remarkable as the first, but I feel that I know more now. I couldn’t actually wait to extinguish my final cigarette- and be done with it! (Unlike the first time where I have postponed finishing the Book for weeks!) YIPEEEEEEE!!!!!! I so wish Allen was with us to read this..no one has even come close to achieving what he has for us ! WE LOVE YOU, ALLEN!! Wherever you might be, you’ll always be in our minds, too…and HEARTS. THANK YOU THANK YOU…WE LOVE YOU.

When we were told that you could stop smoking by rading a book both my wife and I said “pull the other one”. We were wrong, it really does work. My wife had been a smoker for 44 years and I had smoked for 46 years but we both found it so easy to stop after reading “Easyway”. It is only three months for us but we both feel so much better. However, I do not call myself a non-smoker but a smoker who has stopped. The reason being that I know that like an alcoholic with drink, if I had just one cigarette I would be back on the slippery slope.
Ron said,

Jan 26, 01:48 am #

To all the people who have recently become non smokers:
16 years ago I gave up with Alan Carr’s ‘Easy way to stop smoking’,after 30 years of 30 a day and having unsuccessfully tried chewing gum,patches and hypnotism.
I have never craved a cigarette since and have no problem with people blowing smoke in my face at social gatherings.
On the other hand, friends who used the old will power system (some of whom gave up more than 10 years ago) often say things like “I could kill for a cigarette at a party when I’m having a drink”
That’s the difference: once you’ve used Alan Carr’s method you think as a non-smoker and that danger of relapse becomes non existent.

A point in history. Once we thought the world was flat, once it was cool to smoke.
Let’s move on for the sake of future generations. We just don’t do THAT anymore. It just wasn’t right.

Thankyou AGAIN Allen! I first read your easyway in 1995 and stopped smoking EASILY! I took up long distance walking and cycling and camping and even ran marathons to raise money for lung cancer research…and then, like a FOOL, I started smoking again after 5 years of freedom, just to annoy my husband. It worked! We’re divorced! And like an IDIOT I was left holding the babies and the cigarettes!! Another 7 long years later, I get to thank you again, after reading Easyway for women to stop smoking, which I picked up in the airport. I finished the book a week ago, in tears of joy, threw my last roll up onto the fire, sent a text to my daughter to tell her “no matter what happens in my life I will never smoke another cigarette”...and I have started to live again!! Thankyou thankyou thankyou! My only sadness? I just read today that you died, and I will never be able to thank you in person…but I WILL run again, and raise money again for lung cancer research!! God bless you Allen!! XXX

Thank you Allen for your method and your belief that we can all find it easy to stop smoking. You made me realize what a fool I have been to continue doing it. It took me several reads of the book and more than a year for me to finally quash my fears and do it. I can’t thank you enough for showing me the way.
Thank you!

I am a non smoker since 11th Jan 08.
I read the Easy Way to stop first, but wasnt ready to stop. Got The Only way and couldnt wait to light my last cigerette.
I was so scared to try to live without them, yet it has been so easy to stop.
I think that Allen Carr is with every single one of us when we are reading the book.
Bless you and thank you Allen Carr

I smoked my last on Saturday at 3.30 in the afternoon: that’s 3 days and almost 4 hours ago. I have never spent such a long time free from smoking since I fell headlong into the trap 25 years ago. I have not foun dit difficult – in fact it has been surprisingly painless!

I attended a clinic here in Brussels and stubbed out my last cigarette at the end. The other participants and I bonded even though we came from very different pl
