"Experience is the mother of wisdom."
(English Proverb)

Allen Carr´s Easyway Method use a combination of cognitive therapy and hypno-therapy and a light relaxation exercise to remove the smoker´s belief that smoking provides any sort of genuine pleasure or crutch. It removes the feeling of sacrifice and deprivation and therefore rids the smoker of the fear of stopping.
The therapist focuses on the reasons why people smoke rather than why they shouldn’t.
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
By removing the need or desire to smoke, the need for willpower is also removed. The method channels the smokers will against the cigarette rather than leaving them to struggle with a conflict of wills.
WHAT ABOUT TERRIBLE WITHDRAWAL PANGS FROM NICOTINE?
- The physical addiction exists but it is not the biggest problem. Everybody knows that long after the physical addiction to nicotine is totally gone, many smokers can still continue to crave cigarettes. This continued craving is due to the mental or psychological addiction which is what Allen Carr's Easyway method, so successfully removes.
- 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´s Easyway 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.
DEFEATING FEAR
The real trauma smokers suffer when they try to quit is the mental feeling of sacrifice and depression caused by the belief that they are being deprived of a genuine crutch or pleasure. All smokers know that smoking is unhealthy, expensive, and anti-social. So what keeps them smoking even if they would rather stop?
The answer is FEAR.
Fear that they will:
- be unable to enjoy life and cope with stress
- be unable to relax and to concentrate
- be unable to enjoy social occasions
- have to go through some terrible period of trauma to get free
- always be miserable without cigarettes and that the craving will never go
All these fears arise out of the very powerful illusions associated with smoking and nicotine addiction. Illusions like smoking helps smokers to relax and concentrate, smoking helps to relieve their stress and boredom.
Allen Carr's EASYWAY unique method is the only method that effectively destroys the psychological addiction to nicotine or the need or desire to smoke. This is done while the smoker is still smoking and creates an understanding and frame of mind that makes nicotine withdrawal and unwanted weight gain easy to manage as well as removing completely, any feelings of deprivation
Smokers quit with the Allen Carr´s Easyway 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.
