Below are some testimonials from clients of the Allen Carr program.  We hope you enjoy reading them as much as we enjoy receiving them.

Hi Dianne,

 

Thanks for your email - I'm going well, loving being a non smoker!

My friends can't believe how painless it has been for me, and I have even had people offering me cigarettes to try and "test" me - to no avail!

What you say is true - you really do break away from that nicotine monster - If I knew it would be this easy, I would have done it years ago!

 

Have a lovely Easter & Thank you for your support!

 

Cheers, Kerri

Hi Dianne

 

Well according to my little diary it is now 9 months since I attended your clinic. I remain smoke free but very wary of slipping. I still have silly dreams of smoking. Argh! Your warnings at the sessions I attended still ring loudly in my ears.

• ’You cannot have one – you will start the cycle again!’
• ‘There is no such thing as a happy part time smoker’

 

I can now sing a whole song without coughing. I can [sort of] keep up with my son on his skate board. I’m pretty sure I smell better, maybe I look better but I musta’ been a real child scarer before. I can smell a cigarette from 1000 meters! Get over it dude! I am also eating lots more vegetables. I dunno why but my body seems to want them. I went to the doctor for a check up and he said my lungs were in surprisingly good shape. I was amazed after all that abuse.

 

It is interesting to see the maths

246 days not smoking @ $12.50 per day = $3,075.00 saved. This paid for your clinic, my trip to Barcelona, my guitar classes when I was there, and some new guitar equipment. As opposed to how much I have spent before I gave up - 35 years X 365 days @ $12.50 per day = $159,687.50 now that’s scary. Of course soon the figure will be $20 per day with the new taxes. I don’t think they work. You could charge $1000 a packet and people will still smoke.

 

Anyway I thank you – my lungs thank you – my family thanks you

Best wishes

Thought I'd send an update through about how I'm going as a non smoker and to thank you for helping me to stop smoking with such ease.

When I left your session last Thursday I was extremely sceptical about how I was going to go not smoking.

I also knew I had a real test ahead of me with a night out with the boys (almost all of whom are heavy smokers) Thursday evening and then our annual weekend away (Fri to Mon) with 6 couples, of whom several are also heavy smokers. I knew that over the next 5 days the booze would flow and I would be surrounded by smokers.

Thursday afternoon I wrote up how I felt as a smoker and also created a list of reasons why I wanted to stop smoking. I promptly put that in my wallet to refer to and made sure to pack both of my Allen Carr books for the weekend.

Some 7 days later and everything you told us from Allen's book has been accurate. The nicotine cravings are only slight but the big black cloud of losing my crutch loomed large.

I can now see myself never smoking again but also realise I still have some way to go. New hurdles such as having a really bad day at work, being under great stress and so on will no doubt be a challenge but at this stage I believe I can face them.

So, thank you. Not just for doing 'your job' extremely well but for doing it with just the right mixture of understanding, sincerity and firmness.

This morning I had a dreaded doctors appointment to discuss the results of some fairly extensive tests. Tests I was convinced would reveal some sinister disease or medical malfunction due to symptoms I have been ignoring for quite some time (some of which prompted me to undertake your course despite not achieving anything from the two books).

Not only did I not feel the need to smoke to calm my nerves beforehand but the results were all clear and I officially have a healthy body. One which I now know will be so much better as it recovers from about 30 years of smoking.
