Get the Facts
Easyway, founded by Allen Carr in 1983, has the highest independently verified 12-month success rate (75.8% for a smoker completing the program) of any quit smoking technique and a 90% satisfaction rating.
Compare Easyway to other methods and see for yourself why Easyway is called “The Cadillac of quit smoking methods.”
The Allen Carr Method
HOW THE METHOD WORKS
Using psychotherapy, the method works in the opposite way to the “willpower” method. It does not concentrate on the reasons the smoker should not smoke : the money, the slavery, the health risks and the stigma. Smokers know all that already. Instead it focuses on why smokers continue to smoke in spite of the obvious disadvantages.
It is fear that keeps smokers hooked!
Fear the smoker will have to give up their pleasure or crutch. Fear the smoker will be unable to enjoy life or handle stress. Fear the smoker will have to go through an awful trauma to get free. Fear the smoker will never get completely free from the craving.
The Method removes these fears
Smokers quit with the Allen Carr Method as happy non-smokers, not feeling deprived but with a huge sense of relief and elation that they have finally achieved what they always wanted….
TO BE FREE!
What about the terrible withdrawal pangs from nicotine?
The physical withdrawal from nicotine is so slight that most smokers don’t realise that they are addicts. What smokers suffer when they try and quit using other methods is the misery and depression caused by the belief that they are being deprived of a pleasure or a crutch.
The Allen Carr Method removes this feeling of deprivation.
It removes the need and desire to smoke. Once the smoker is in the right frame of mind and they follow the simple instructions, the physical withdrawal from nicotine is hardly noticeable.
No Gimmicks!
The Method does not use any gimmicks, useless aids or substitutes. No nicotine gum, patches, lozenges, tabs, inhilators or nasal sprays! No needles! No lasers! No drugs! No herbs! No shock treatment!
The Allen Carr Method is successful because:
It removes the smokers’ conflict of will.
There are no bad withdrawal pangs.
It is instantaneous and easy.
It is equally effective for long-term heavy smokers and light smokers.
You need not gain weight.
You will not miss smoking.
Medical Endorsements
A personal view from Professor Judith Mackay MBE, JP, FRCO (Edin), FRCP (Lon), World Health Organisation Advisory Panel on Tobacco and Health
“I have no hesitation in supporting Allen Carr’s work. Many clinics use some of his techniques but it would appear that few do it in quite such a successful package.”
Carole Johnson, Coronary Heart Disease Prevention Unit, Tyne Tees
“his success rate was such that, when budgets allow, we continue to use Easyway for work with specific groups and individuals.”
Dr Anil Visa BSc, MBBch., FRCA, Consultant – Royal Hospitals NHS Trust – Royal London Hospital
“I have observed the Allen Carr method at first hand and have found it to be very successful and I wholeheartedly support it as an effective way to quit smoking.”
Dr William Green, Head of Psychiatric Dept, Matilda Hospital, Hong Kong
“It is a remarkable fact that Allen Carr, on his own admission a non-professional in behaviour modification, should have succeeded where countless psychologists and psychiatrists holding postgraduate qualifications have failed, in formulating a simple and effective way to stop smoking.”
Dr Martin Jarvis, Principle Scientist, Imperial Cancer Research
Fund and Reader in Health Psychology, University College London
”...I am more than happy to testify to Allen Carr’s enduring involvement and to recognise the value of the kind of behavioural and cognitive support he provides.”
Dr PM Bray MB CH.b., MRCGP
“I was really impressed by the method. In spite of the Allen Carr organisation’s success and fame, there were no gimmicks and the professional approach was something a GP could readily respect. I would be happy to give a medical endorsement of the method to anyone.”
Celebrity Endorsements
-His method is absolutely unique, removing the dependence on cigarettes, while you are actually smoking. I’m pleased to say it has worked for many of my friends and staff.”
Sir Richard Branson
“Some friends of mine who had stopped using Allen Carr’s method suggested I tried it. I did. It was such a revelation that instantly I was freed from my addiction. Like those friends of mine, I found it not only easy but unbelievably enjoyable to stay stopped.”
Sir Anthony Hopkins
GOOD LUCK
A strong will, hard candy, eating, pencil twiddling, thumb sucking, reading, sleeping, running, writing, cooking, and anything else you can think of...try them all.
I just got myself an iPod, and it-s totally distracting and the best exercise and weight loss equipment ever! Everytime I feel like snacking out of sheer boredom, I grab that thing and go for a walk. I-m addicted to spending money on iTunes, but I-m getting in great shape! I bet it could work for you, too, with the smoking...
umm well, I smoke. I could smoke for you! hehe sorry!
My dad told me that chew on something helps (gum, pen etc)
try that!
It isn-t good to replace one addiction with another, the cravings only last for 15 seconds. They say the first two weeks are the easiest because there is still nicotine in your system. I smoke, I have been sense I was 14 and I am almost 19 now. I quit for a week one time but it was not by choice, I was in the hospital and you know what it sucked so bad, I dunno, I think that keeping your hands busy would do you alot of good, being on the computer is a start because its not easy to type and smoke because then the damn ashes fall on the keyboard. Go to the store and get one of them poster coloring things, the ones that glow in the dark, you could get a latch-hook kit and do that when your craving a smoke, chew gum,suck on hard candy, start exercising, going for walks every morning or night, at first it will be hard because of the smoking, but once you do it for awhile it will get easier and your body will feel so much better and that right there is going to make you see that smoking takes alot out of you and makes your body feel like crap. The bottom line is, keep your hands and your mouth busy, don-t bite your nails and remember that the craving is only strong for 15 seconds and then it gets weaker. GOOD LUCK :D
try scrapbooking it-s lots
of fun. seriously if you have
kids or family that-s one reason
two you should value your
life smoking is not worth your
life. good luck to you.
Reading always helped me when I quite smoking. Or if all else fails, gum can help. I used to chew on the end of pens... until one exploded :) it was funny. Just go for a walk, draw, or read. It is definitely worth it. When I was smoking Doctors found pre-cancerous cells in my body, and when I quit, they went away. That is how bad smoking is. Hope things work out for you. Just keep with it. Think of anything other then smoking. Have a great day :)
Rule # 1: Your desire to quit has to be stronger than your desire to smoke.
Plus do all the things other people suggest:
The nicotine in your system need flushing.
You will have a new bloodline in 3 months and new pink lungs in two years, instead of black lungs.
Drink more water, eat more fruits and vegetables.
Meditate, enjoy your easier breaths.
Remember the bad things smelly everything, car, clothing everywhere, cigarette burns too. Save on cleaning, plus save tons of money for not smoking. Save on embarassing looks from people walking past you. No more being and Outsider! Think of others, and your family. You will have to dissasociate with smokers too.
When things get tough remember rule no #1. Your desire to quit must be stronger than your desire to smoke. Plus you must decide never to have not even one more cigarette again because you know that will be the end of it. Remember too, you will crave even years later.
The only choice there is is the desire not to smoke must be greater than your craving. That desire may even to do it for another person.
Back to the first rule.
Good Luck
im a bookworm. read and if that doesnt work, try excersising.
what my friend did after quiting, is whenever he felt like having to smoke again, especially after meals...he puts candy on his mouth...
I recently read that the best thing to do for a craving is to drink water and avoid sugar. Sugar will increase your cravings and staying hydrated will stave them off. Also remember that cravings only last for two minutes if you can make it through two minutes it should go away. Typing a long answer to a question could take that long:)
Do something that gets you moving and takes your mind off of the craving.
play with yourself every 4 hours
Try lifesavers
Candy or gum helps. My sister quit with Haul-s cough drops because they gave her that menthol taste. How about nicotine gum?
The thing that helped the most for me was fake cigarettes. It has been 18 months for me and I still use them occasionally. It helps to simulate the motions of smoking when on the phone, after dinner, etc.
Also, I kept telling myself that I was going to be proud of myself and strong. (And I am). I made lists of things I could do to keep busy when cravings come. Try to get hooked on something good for you - like exercise bike, Yoga, meditation, etc. Pray for strength. Best of luck, I hope you make it. It is worth it. P.S. I didn-t put on any weight - so it can be done.
