How much you did you smoke? 60 a day
Why did you want to stop? All the usual stuff, it was bad for my health, I hated the slavery and I was scared I'd be a smoker forever.
How had you tried to quit previously? Cold turkey mainly. I did try the gum once and it tasted gross.
What year did you stop smoking? 1997
How did you stop? Easily! I attended an Allen Carr’s Easyway seminar in London.
Why did you became a therapist? I was blown away by how easy it was to stop smoking. Particularly when previously I found it so hard and I was really keen to join the company and help other smokers find it just as easy to quit.
Any personal thoughts/quotes. I love being a therapist!!

How much you did you smoke? 60 a day
Why did you want to stop? I realised that if you are always going to stop in the future then it will never happen. It was just fear that kept me hooked. But what terrible thing would happen if I never smoked another cigarette?
How did you stop? I attended an Allen Carr’s Easyway clinic in 1993.
Why did you became a therapist? To give back what I got.
Any personal thoughts/quotes. Being free is lovely. An increase in self-respect is one of the many benefits.

How much you did you smoke? 50 a day for 25 years
How you tried to quit previously? I tried everything! Every attempt was short lived, miserable and frustrating. My obsession with stopping was driving me mad, and smoking was making me miserable and depressed.
What year did you stop smoking? October 1999
How did you stop? I attended an Allen Carr’s Easyway seminar in London.
Why did you became a therapist? My joy and sheer delight at being free led me to apply to become a Therapist, and in Sept 2007, I was delighted to accept a position. I do this work purely because I want every smoker to feel how I felt when I stopped smoking, which was truly amazing.
Any personal thoughts/quotes. What Allen Carr proved to me, was that I could achieve what I had thought was impossible - to be happy not smoking. I live with that everyday, and want to share it with every smoker, and show them it is possible for them too. Stopping smoking has not only changed my life, I believe it has saved it.

How much you did you smoke? 60 a day
Had you tried to quit previously? I attempted quitting by most other methods out there but always struggled with withdrawal and the belief that I was completely dependent on cigarettes.
What year did you stop smoking? 2000
How did you stop? I eventually attended an Allen Carr’s Easyway clinic in London on the recommendation of a friend. At the end of the session I experienced no withdrawal or difficulty at all and felt better than I had for years. At first I found it difficult to believe how great I was feeling and that I didn’t need to make any effort whatsoever. I simply lost interest in smoking and have never been vaguely interested in starting again since.
Why did you became a therapist? This seemingly impossible experience made such an impression on me that I decided to train as an Allen Carr therapist and have been helping other smokers stop ever since.
Rob Fielding
How much you did you smoke? 60 a day
Why did you want to stop? I felt like a social leper. I didn’t want to admit to myself the ugly truth that I had become a slave to my cigarettes.
What year did you stop smoking? February 2003
How did you stop? I used to pass Allen’s Easyway clinic in Birmingham going to work everyday. After nearly fifteen years I stopped the car, took a deep breath, marched into the clinic and booked myself a place onto the next available course. The rest as they say is history - I’ve neither missed nor desired a cigarette since.
Any personal thoughts/quotes. Looking back it’s difficult to recall how my health, my mood, and my confidence started to return to normal. I just remember a very short time after quitting thinking “That’s it – my nightmare is over – it feels brilliant! I’m free at last”

I attended the Raynes Park Clinic on the 30th August 2007, an amazing 3 years and 2 days ago and I have been smoke free ever since. It is one of the best things I have ever done in my life. Stopping smoking is actually so easy to do and such a relief to know that I have cracked it. One thing that I think is very important is to actually really WANT to stop yourself, as it has to come from you. If you are reading this, just go for it you have everything to gain!!
