Allen Carr's Easyway to Stop Smoking > Books

Some happy non-smokers

1. Thomas Garfield said,

Today is my first anniversary of quitting smoking and it has been the best year of my life. I didn't like to admit it but smoking controlled my life. For me, the best thing about quitting is not the health or the money, although both of those things have improved big time. It's the freedom, taking control of my life back.

Hi Allen,

It's amazing. I am a non smoker. I am happy with my descision. I can't believe it took me 3 attempts at your method to realise I really did not like smoking at all. Thank you very much.

Smoking – never again!

I’ve been smoking for 22 years, today begins day two of choosing to not smoke. I say that I’m excited and at peace instead of afraid and feeling deprived.

Thank you, Allen.

It’s been a year now since I stopped smoking and life has been so enjoyable.

I used to suffer from depression and anxiety attacks. My life was all about cigarettes. Since stopping smoking I have a new higher paying job, more responsibilities, I know how to swim, I’m learning to drive and doing a degree in business studies – I’m paying attention to my life now, and it’s just keeps getting better and better. The depression and anxiety stopped with the cigarettes.

I really believe that smoking causes mental health issues – and it’s not the act of self medicating, but the cigarettes that are causing the problem.

I hope all of you who are reading the book, please trust me and learn everything from it! :)

I am into my 19 month of being a non smoker and cannot believe I ever smoked. I do not miss it or crave it. What a trully wonderful way to stop being a smoker. I don’t feel at all deprived. What a wonderful man to share his secret.

Just finished the book a second time and threw away my last pack. I am elated to hear that Easy way clinic is planning to set up in my area (Singapore). I sure would love to help my fellow Singaporeans discover the easy way.

14. Paul said,

I read the original version of the book many years ago. I sincerely believe reading it was the single most important decision I have made in my life.

I can’t tell you how many friends I have recommended the book too. Allen is sorely missed.

Last smoke yesterday. Today I had horrible day and normally that would mean about 40 smoked fags. But I understood that they don’t make my situation better and even when I think to smoke i say NO.I think that the most important thing is that the book tell us not to be afraid of fallness. If you even fall you dont loose anything, but when you try you got so much to win. I start smoking 17, now I am 24. Since about 3 years everyday I tried to stop.Gums, motivation from my girlfriend, my motivation,nothing help. This book is fantastic – that is all I want to say. When smoking last cigarette in my life I was crying from happiness:) Good luck everyone! Good bless You Allen!

17. Eric said,

I had been a confirmed smoker for fifteen years and smoked about thirty cigarettes a day there toward the end. I stumbled upon the book by accident, and decided to give it a shot since nothing else had worked for me. I began reading the book on a Monday and finished the last chapter and my last cigarette that Friday. I’ve been completely astounded by the fact that not once have I wanted a cigarette, thought about smoking, even while being around my friends and family that still smoke. No one ever believed that I had really quit, thinking that it was just too easy. Now they are all asking me to show them how I did it. I thank you dearly for opening up my eyes.

Dear Mr. Carr,
I would like to thank you for helping me stop smoking two years ago and stop drinking for the last two months with your wonderful books and your astonishing system.
I myself was amazed at how easy I found quitting something that had me enslaved for the last 20 years or so. I was a HEAVY smoker and a fairly hard challenge for anyone who tried to talk me into quitting. Reading your book once was all it took to stop. After that and under my wife’s insistance I finally read the drinking book too and … even more astonishingly had the same result.
In order to partially repay you for your gift I’m talking all those that ask for help into buying and reading your books or attending the easyway seminars.
Thank you for your help
Yours sincerely

My husband borrowed the book from a work colleague and as my husband hates reading, he asked me to read it to him, which I did a bit every night. I had no intention of giving up at the time as I loved my cigs!
As I read the book I slowly came to believe that I too might be able to stop.My husband stopped a couple of months before me but we have both been stopped 4 yrs this year – I will stay stopped too as I never intend ever to put a cigarette in my mouth.
Both my parents died of smoking related diseases aged 52 and 54 so it has given me hope – thank you xx

20. Lesley said,

Dear Allen,

I waited to be sure but I have now been 16 months – yes 1 YEAR & 4 MONTHS without a cigarette between my lips. But the best news is it has not been hard. I have no desire to smoke. My husband could not believe how there was no personality change in the early days, I was happy balanced, normal (In the past he had gone as far as go out late at night buy a pack and tell me to smoke them before we divorced). I was the last of the “die hard” smokers, no one was going to tell me I could or could not smoke – I had rights – I smoked for 42 years.

My Doctor recommended the book, he had never smoked but he read it after it was mentioned by a few patients and his comment was the man makes a lot of sense, the medical profession should listen to him.

I also want to put to rest one huge myth and this is important. For all those smokers out there who insist it is their crutch and helps them get through the trials of life. In May I lost my 31 year old daughter to cancer throughout her body, it was the nightmare no mother should never have to go through. Everyone expected and would have accepted if I had started smoking again because of the stress I was under. I never ever considered it – I can’t even stand the smell of it anymore.

Thank you for this – I could say where have you been most of my life but I had the book for a year before I read it because the reality is you have to want to quit for yourself not anyone else. I started the book thinking I smoked for my satisfaction, I finished the book livid that I was at someone else’s (the nasty monster) whim.

In closing I want you to know I buy this book for all family and friends that say they really want to quit I think it is worth it. Thank you for giving my breath back and freeing me from the monster.

It took me a day and a half to read Allen’s book, I was so excited about gettng to the end so I could smoke my last cigarette and become a non-smoker.

There were tears of joy rolling down my cheeks as I looked in the mirror in my hotel room and shouted, YIPPEE I am a non-smoker. I know I will never have one more puff as long as I live and I am so excited about being free of the smell, the taste and the ill side affects of the weed. I have been to the Gym everyday since I escaped I feel so so so darn good and so full of energy.

What I do not understand is why it has taken me so long to find this book, I stumbled across it by chance whilst I was in Barnes and Noble, you can guess what every smoker I know is getting for a Christmas present from me this year. I don’t care if they read it now or later, I just want them to tell me when they are ready to quit they open the book and hey presto another happy, yes happy, non-smoker.

There should be commercials on TV exepcially during prime time and even in the superbowl -just to tell people when they are ready, they can read Allen’s book, laugh out loud, and cry shamelessly when they realise Allen has made them a non-smoker for ever and ever.

God Bless this dude, St. Allen for President or King or something

I can’t believe it! Me quit cold turkey? I did it, I’m past that three weeks and it WAS easy! I feel confident I will never smoke again because … well, please refer to your chapter on the benefits of smoking… Thank you heartfully!

23. Helen Parker said,

I read the book, and it is like magic. I can’t believe it – I’ve smoked for more than half my life, just like my parents, just like their parents . . . The idea of quitting, of ‘depriving’ myself of something everyday for the rest of my life made me think I’d never be able to break free. And now, I love being a non-smoker. Something I thought would be impossible was easy, and I enjoyed it, and am enjoying it every day . . .

I can’t express how much I owe to this book!

24. Debbie Ruth said,

I had my last cigarette on the 23rd of August this year in one of your clinics and know i will never smoke again. Every smoker should hear of your method ..thank you for helping me understand.

25. Martin Green said,

One week since finishing the book and I feel great about not smoking. My concern was going out with friends but I didn’t even think about it until a few of them went outside for a smoke. Was unsure about how effective the book would be but I now believe it will work for me and I’m looking forward to being a non-smoker!
