Real-life questions from struggling smokers.<\/p>\n<h2>How will I cope with stress when I quit smoking?<\/h2>\n<p><em>Dear John,<br \/>\nHow will I cope with stress when I quit smoking? I\u2019m going to use Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway to Quit Smoking and am wondering what are some tips and tricks for when you have bad situation occur at work, dealing with mean people, stress etc? What do you do? Kathy, Martinsville, Maine, USA<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Hey Kathy,<\/p>\n<p>Well done for getting in touch with your query \u2014 I\u2019m sure I can help.<\/p>\n<p>Most smokers (and some ex-smokers) believe that smoking helps with stressful situations and the conclusion they draw in advance of quitting smoking is that their stress levels will increase. The great news is that in fact, the opposite is true and that you can expect a reduction in the level of stress you experience when you quit smoking. The only caveat to that is that you use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/en-us\/about-allen-carrs-easyway\/the-allen-carr-easyway-method\/\">Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway to Quit Smoking method<\/a> which explains exactly how the illusion of stress relief works with smokers (and it\u2019s great to hear that\u2019s what you\u2019re planning to do).<\/p>\n<p><em>As an 80 a day smoker I was convinced that I wouldn\u2019t be able to handle stress without cigarettes but had no idea that smoking was actually increasing my levels of stress.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I was completely controlled and enslaved by smoking. Just purchasing them was a trial in itself. Buying four packs a day is humiliating so I would visit a different store each day of the week to avoid the shame of the shopkeeper exclaiming, \u201cMore? You had 4 packs yesterday!\u201d. I found it unbelievable that someone could be so cruel \u2014 but it happened on many occasions in the event that I was obliged to visit the same store on two consecutive days. It never occurred to me that the shopkeeper\u2019s reaction was understandable and merely an expression of huge surprise on their part.<\/p>\n<p>Buying cigarettes was only one aspect of my stressful life as a smoker. As a chain-smoker you live your life constantly in search of opportunities to smoke, manufacturing excuses to leave meetings, move venues, avoid public transport and other areas where smoking is prohibited, and so on.<\/p>\n<p><em>Can you imagine anything more embarrassing as a fully grown adult, than finding yourself sneaking to the bathroom for a smoke, stood inside a stinking cubicle like a foolish schoolchild, then returning to a meeting having kidded yourself that the handwashing, the spritz of aftershave, and a mouthful of mints would disguise the stench of cigarettes?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Of course, everything I\u2019ve mentioned so far has been related to the practical aspects of smoking leading to increased levels of stress for smokers but the really big news is that in addition to those \u2014 the notion that a smoker enjoys a reduced level of stress because they feel better when they have a cigarette is a \u2018house built on sand\u2019, out of illusion and misunderstanding.<\/p>\n<p>OK \u2014 if you have an argument with someone, or someone is irritating you and you leave the situation to go for a cigarette \u2014 you do feel less stressed. Not because of the cigarette \u2014 but because you\u2019ve taken yourself away from the stressful situation and given yourself time to calm down. This is something that non-smokers do <em>ALL THE TIME<\/em> and is not the result of some magical stress-busting qualities of cigarettes. You can carry on doing this when you quit smoking \u2014 you\u2019re not missing out on anything.<\/p>\n<p><em>I still need to explain the feeling of relief that a smoker senses when they light a cigarette in that situation\u2026it definitely seems to do something doesn\u2019t it?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So let me highlight exactly how your brain is fooled into thinking that cigarettes reduce your level of stress rather than add to it.<\/p>\n<p>Apologies for the rough scan of a page from one of our more recent quit smoking books. It illustrates how smokers get convinced that smoking helps with stress.

A smoker always has that additional level of stress that a non-smoker NEVER has to deal with. When that extra stress is partially relieved, the smoker does feel better than a moment before\u2026but they\u2019re still feeling more stressed than a non-smoker feels. It\u2019s a clever illusion and one that all drug addicts suffer from.<\/p>\n<p>At our<a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/en-us\/easyway-stop-smoking\/live-group-seminars\/\"> Live Group Seminars<\/a> we actually help smokers experience the illusion of stress relief while they\u2019re at the seminar. We use real-time examples that enable attendees to actually feel &amp; experience the illusions of nicotine addiction and nicotine withdrawal on their body. These are stunning, life-changing moments as smokers experience physically and mentally how they\u2019ve been conned by the addiction. There are so many elements of Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway method that can\u2019t be replicated in a book \u2014 no matter how we try.<\/p>\n<p><em>Support Link: Anyone reading this piece, experiencing similar (or entirely different) issues with stopping smoking can obtain free of charge advice from us via the following link.
