Client Testimonials for our Alcohol Sessions

Hi there
I wanted to drop a line to you as it's a year this month that I had my last alcoholic drink and came on the Allen Carr course. The course and giving up alcohol has been the best present I could have ever given myself. I was falling in to the professional/parent/30 something that would opt for a glass of pinot as soon as I got in from work. As well as socialising alot and therefore having access to lots of fizz whenever myy husband and I went out. It wasn't a place I wanted to stay and therefore on 29th March I made a decision that I wanted to be honest with myself and reduce my alcohol intake. I booked the course that night and attended a week later. I had no idea that going on the Allen Carr course would make me so repulsed by alcohol that I wouldn't be prepared to drink it again. I left the course that afternoon and headed home to a dinner party with great friends. I drank fizzy water in a champagne flute and it felt great - I didn't feel the odd one out at all. Within a month I had lost a stone, simply by not drinking wine, and the weight has not returned. I'm not saying that when on holiday I'm not aware of alcohol but given the choice of having a glass of pinot or not, I know I just wouldn't be tempted to pour the burning chemical down my throat. It really may as well be a class A drug to me these days and I am always keen to learn more about drinks damaging effects whereas a year ago I would rather not know!! Thank you to your team, especially Chris Hay who really was a terrific course leader. The course has enabled me to turn my life in to a very healthy one!

Very many thanks

Since my last drink my life has changed immeasurably. There would be too many changes to mention. A complete 360 turnaround. I feel free, completely happy and positive for the first time in many, many years. I no longer have to worry about having a supply of vodka/wine. or about my behaviour or about being 'absent' from everything. AA told me I had a disease; the 'establishment' told me it was genetic; you made me see that I had merely fallen into a man-made trap From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I know that I will never drink again, but if ever I hear that little monster whispering in my ear I will be in touch. With kind regards

I did the alcohol session two and a half years ago (for the second time) and amazingly I'm still living a pretty damn enjoyable life on cappuccino and blackcurrant cordial. The most amazing thing about the session is that it shows you how to live without booze without gaining another dependency, and then gives you just the push you need to do it.
It's great not to have to depend on Alcoholics Anonymous, which seemed pretty much the only other option, and for me, as an atheist, it is also great not to put your faith in a higher power.

Hi, just thought id like to share with anyone who is finding it hard to stop drinking. I went to one of alan carrs clinics to try stop drinking. I like most people thought this aint going to work ! but i have to tell you, it is now 3 years since i had a drink and i am happier now than i ever was. I will be honest over the years it has crossed my mind to have a drink the odd time, but it only crossed my mind when im having a bad day. So what does that tell you ?. Well if drink was that good why dont i want it when im happy ?. I was out with a friend on a friday night and everyone was pissed and having a good time , my friend asked me how do i do it ? my reply was- tomorrow morning i can get up early and have a fun day with my children. THAT IS THE BEST REWARD I HAVE GOT OUTOF GIVING UP ALCOHOL. Thank you Alan Carr & Staff. Merry Christmas.

I have attended the seminar on the 12/11 since then I didn't drink a single glass of wine. I'm free. I'm not worried anymore thinking about where the next drink will come from or watching the clock, praying for 6 pm to be here quick ! I know it is early days but I believe I'll never feel the need to drink again. Over the last 3 weeks, I have been a very happy person. I have bags of energy, bags of optimism ..My depression has lifted, I'm starting to get my figure back. The week ends are not spent moping around the house anymore but out and about with the kids ! I have my life back and I'll highly recommend anyone to give the easyway method a go, it is well worth it ! I can say that in 2011, I had my last cigarette and my my last drink !

Dear Cris
I attended your Easyweigh session on 17th September since which time I have lost a stone & Chris, my son has lost half a stone. I confess that I was apprehensive about attending the weightloss session despite having successfully overcome addictions to both smoking and alcohol using the Easyway, the weight is my last demon and after a lifetime of failed attempts to overcome the problem I was very scared that if this didn't work I would face the rest of my life as a fat person, not a prospect I relish!
I should've known that one session with you would be sufficient to provide me with the mental clarity that I previously lacked, now it all seems so simple.
This too was the case when I decided to overcome years of misuse of alcohol, before attending Allen Carr Easyway to control alcohol I regularly drank to excess despite my intention not to do so. A classic one drink is too many, twenty is not enough type of drinker I had reached a level of shame and loathing that could no longer be ignored. I booked my place on Easyway, I had total belief that it would work as I quit a 25 a day smoking habit the year before using the Easymethod and I attended your alcohol session on 10th September 2006.
I have not touched alcohol since, further more I haven't wanted to. I am now totally liberated from the chore of policing myself in social situations, making sincere and heartfelt apologies to those whose hospitality unexpectedly extended to dealing with an annoying drunk at a dinner party, wondering why I am black and blue and filling in the gaps in my head with a thousand scenarios as to what may have been said/happened etc.
Attending Easyway is a bit like an out of body experience, after I attended I found it hard to believe smoking/alcohol./sugar held such power over my psyche, something fundamental changes in your way of thinking and once you are set free it is almost unimaginable to think these things had such a grip.
I can't thank you enough for sharing your wisdom without condescension, on 10th September 2006 one of the group argued with you throughout the morning about why she didn't agree with what you were saying, you were patient and kind in how you dealt with her and after she walked out you explained to the group that you would call her later and offer her a one to one session with you. I hope she took it! I took your advice and I have a better life now, I'm no longer ashamed of myself and have much happier life now. I am now free of the toxic effect of addiction and I am confident after four weeks of living the Easyweigh that very soon I will be living the rest of my life free from being burdened by my weight problem.
Once of my friends attended your session yesterday, I am telling my friends to come along and change their lives too.
Please do get in touch if you would like to discuss my experiences further With thanks and kind regards

i attended the allen carr alcohol seminar after successfully quitting smoking by reading the book i thought i would give the alcohol book and the seminar a chance. 3 years ago i made the best descison i ever did to travel over from ireland to the seminar in london everything that was said really clicked and spoke as if the seminar was written just for me and my relationship with alcohol. i owe allen carr and his staff so much countless relationships and freindships flounded and petered out because of my addiction to alcohol but im pleased to say im recently married and happier than ever totally in my opinion thanks to allens method and his staff especially crispin hays implementation of it. no words of mine could express my gratitude and i have recomended the method to everyone i could if your looking at these words and wondering if you should attend please just go for it, its the best descison i ever made and will make your life so much better.

Just a quick line to say thank you. I'm really not sure how it works but it does and I'm so enjoying being free from Alcohol. I really needed to do this for myself but had struggled until I came along and having had several weeks of major issues at work..my trigger for drinking not once have I thought about turning to the bottle. I can't thank you enought and will always be grateful.

Catherine 13 October 2011

Hi, Just wanted to give you some feed-back and let you know it's been unbelievable for me, a total transformation and I feel free at last. All aspects of it have been easy for me. Thanks again and all best,
Whitney 12 October 2011

I attended a stop-drinking seminar eight months ago, and was sceptical until almost the moment that it finished. But I haven't had a drink since! I don't feel like a "recovering alcoholic", I feel like a person who doesn't drink, has no desire to drink, and is too busy enjoying life to even think about it. Brilliant.

Valerie 25 September 2011

I just wanted to thank you for the alcohol seminar you gave yesterday. It was truly inspiring and also very enjoyable. I woke feeling very positive and excited today.

Toby 20 July 2011

I wanted to thank you for the workshop as it has not only made me stop drinking, but I have had no cravings and am not constantly battling with the voice in my head which says 'buy a bottle of wine on your way home!!'. It's been incredible.
I honestly feel as though I have changed fundamentally as a person in some way, and it has had all sorts of other positive effects on my life as well. Even the smell of wine makes me feel slightly ill now and I now no longer see it as either an emotional crutch or as a pleasure!
I wanted to thank you again - it has quite literally changed my life!

Alison 29 June 2011

I wanted to let you know that, thanks to Easyway, I am not drinking and haven’t been for around year. I also have no sugar cravings following the Easyweigh session in January.
More than anything, I am a much happier person. I thought I was happy enough before but this is a deep kind of happiness because I am fully present ALL of the time – no blurred edges. Its great.
I really value that work you do and thank you so much for the wonderful way you work. I still hear your voice ‘ you’ll be fine’ and I know that I am and I will be.
Blessings to you all at Allen Carr (and yes, you can use this quote and my name – no problem)
With very best wishes,

What did i get from the Allen Carr Alcohol session?

I discovered a new freedom from my own perception of alcohol addiction.
I don't think about alcohol and i don't want it anymore.
I feel a huge relief that the desire for a drink has gone,completely.
My thinking has changed, the pressure is off and i'm relaxed, confident and positive about it.

I am no longer addicted. The need for a drink has gone!
I feel quietly confident and happy with my choice not to drink.
I can think more clearly, I have more energy, I sleep better and I feel healthy in mind and body.
I am happy that the urges for alcohol have been removed.
No more conflict of thought. No more battles.
No more thinking "one day at a time", no more thinking about it at all.

This is what i got from my Allen Carr Alcohol session.

Maria 23 March 2011

I just want to say a big thank you to Cris helping me to stop drinking, it has totally transformed and quite literatly saved my life. I have had a friend recently attend on my recommendation and she too is amazed that it works and so relieved that there are techniques out there that really do work. Thank you.

Lesley G (attended June 2010) 21 January 2011

I have been a drinker for almost 40 years. I had my first drink when I was 5 or 6 years old. I can remember Grandma putting sugar in a beer for me because I wanted to taste that posion beer. Over the years, I had tried to quit using the will power method and going to AA. Nothing worked for long, cause I had bought into the idea I was missing my little friend. I never did like AA because I had a diease that could never be cured of. I have been alcohol free for over 2 weeks and going to enjoy my health, wealth and most of all my freedom. FREE AT LAST. Thanks for your postive aproach to the brain washing we all endure.

Danny 12 February 2011

Gave up smoking with your course in sydney australia years ago..
gave up alcohol last year and it is EASY!!

Georg 13 July 2010

What can I say? You’re waiting for me to tell you if the session worked, aren’t you? Of course it did! And I am absolutely thrilled that it did! It’s easy not to drink and I don’t have to wrestle with myself anymore not to. It’s the best thing that I did for myself and for my children and for my future. I can’t thank you enough. It has been a life saver for me. I am enjoying my sobriety and I can feel my body repairing itself. Thank you!

H 15 December 2010

I owe Allen Carr and those who practice his methods a huge thank-you. As a result of those methods I have stopped both smoking and drinking. Has my life suffered because I now do neither? Not at all! I smoked, now I have cleaner lungs and heart. I drank, now I have a mended liver. And I have so much more energy than I used to. It's actually a pleasure to get up in the morning without feeling so fatigued or rough! It may sound unbelievable to some, but I do not miss either a cigarette or a drink. As I said to Chris, who takes some of the clinics, after I attended the session on quitting smoking it was like a psychological tumour had been lifted from my head. Yes, in the beginning it may take a little commitment to begin new habits without a drink or a cigarette, but life is not empty without them. It becomes fuller. They say that true friends are those who help you out in life in that case those at Allen Carr are true friends. I would recommend anyone who is even half-thinking of quitting alcohol or cigarettes to go along. I promise you won't regret it, and you have everything to gain.

Stefan 20 May 2010

Hi, i like to thank my eternal friend, Allen Carr. A few years ago i easily quit smoking. And now 2 weeks ago i am freed from alcohol destruction and i feel great. I thank all of Allens family and friends and councelours: Keep up the good work and hold your spirits high, keep on fighting and never give up!!! THANKX!!!!!! And now with renewed strength and confidence, i'm off kayaking!!!

Fred 11 May 2010

Every other method had failed and I now feel like a million dollars. I am enjoying rediscovering the sober me and waking in the morning feeling rested. Also, it feels strange to enjoy an experience, eg sunday dinner with friends, purely for the enjoyment of the food and the company, rather than being in an alcoholic fog. I have started to enjoy my life. No withdrawal, no feelings of being deprived, no regrets and no turning back!

John 29 March 2010

I am now a happy non drinker of alcohol at 45 years of age I feel fantastic, look fantastic and am full of vibrancy and energy; I can not thank this man enough for the positive contribution he has made to my life.
Thank you Allen Carr

Khemba 07 December 2009

After smoking for over 40 years I stopped, using Allens book, eighteen months ago after several abortive attempts using other methods. I also stopped drinking alcohol (which was destroying my life) over three months ago and now KNOW I will never smoke tobacco or drink alcohol again.I cannot believe how easy it was to escape both traps and only wish I'd done it years ago. Thank you Allen from the bottom of my heart. Rest in peace. I will never forget you.

Carole from the North West of England 05 November 2009

From being a hopeless alcoholic to living a successfull life that I never thought possible. I thank you for curing my addiction. I haven’t had a drink in over 4 years thank you so much. It’s Great to be free

Craig 15 November 2008

We are now happy not to have nicotine OR alcohol in our lives, and feel that we have a new lease on life! We couldn’t be happier with our accomplishments and lifestyle changes! I feel that I owe my/our renewed quality of life to Allen Carr and Easyway! I, my husband and our two beautiful little girls could never find the words to thank you enough!!

Heather 06 January 2008

Brilliant. I decided back in November to attend the smoking clinic and haven’t looked back. I’ve also attended the alcohol clinic back in april and again I have never looked back. The best thingI have ever discoveres- the allen carr easy way method!!

Mark 02 August 2007

Thank you for my freedom and making my life free of alcohol and tobacco without making the rest of my life about not drinking alcohol. I tell everyone who asks how I did it. I am forever in your debt.
