Allen Carr Facilitators

I tried my first cigarette at the age of 15, trying to look cool and trying even harder not to choke or vomit. It was vile and disgusting and made me feel ill but I was determined to learn how to do it. Twenty years later I was still smoking.

The longest I ever managed to stop smoking for was three months. Several times I was able to stop smoking for a couple of weeks but mostly it was only a few hours before I would start smoking again.

I think that it would have been wonderful to have met Allen Carr.  To be able to thank him personally for what he’s done for my life, and by extension, the people around me. Because of Allen Carr’s Easyway method I’m no longer the smelly, drunken, unhappy person that I used to be.

Since my first beer at the age of 17, I always enjoyed being the life of the party, even being a bit of a party animal.  Throughout college, my career, marriage, and even after starting a family, drinking always played a part in my socializing.

I had smoked for 20 years when I was diagnosed with asthma. I had tried everything to give up. Hypnosis, nicotine replacement therapies, acupuncture and cold turkey but nothing stopped me longing to smoke.

I tried my first cigarette when I was 14. It tasted awful, it made me cough, it made me sick and it was harsh on my throat. I persevered with another and then another and it took me a while to learn how to smoke.

Discovering Easyway was a major catalyst in my life. I’d been a heavy smoker and drinker since I was a teenager. My whole life revolved around the pub, and getting drunk was the norm.

I started smoking in high school to look cool and feel subversive. In college I smoked to control stress and ease my anxiety. Soon, smoking became an inextricable part of my identity.

As a certified health and wellness coach, I thought I had all the tools I needed to live a vibrant, healthy life. Yet, there was one habit I couldn’t seem to shake: smoking. Despite knowing the risks and preaching the importance of holistic well-being to my clients, I found myself trapped in the grip of addiction.
