Real-life questions from struggling smokers.<\/p>\n<h2>Why am I afraid that I will quit smoking?<\/h2>\n<p><em>Dear John,<br \/>\nWhy does fear of success cause me a problem? Allen Carr has talked about fear of failure and fear of success \u2014 but what is fear of success and how does it cause a problem?\u201d Osman, Karachi, Pakistan<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Hi Osman,<\/p>\n<p>I remember fear of success very well (I was an 80 a day smoker myself). I had tried to quit so many times, each time not only failing spectacularly \u2014 but going through what felt like torture and hell in the process. In the lead up to each attempt to quit it felt like waiting to be sent to prison. I assumed it was going to be diabolical and the thought of actually succeeding in quitting terrified me even more than either failing to quit or even carrying on smoking. I expected to have a miserable life as a non-smoker deprived of something I genuinely believed that I really, really enjoyed.<\/p>\n<p><em>In fact, I thought I loved smoking!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The anticipation of the misery of attempting to quit or, even worse, succeeding in quitting \u2014 was based on several factors.<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, I\u2019d watched plenty of smokers descend into misery during attempts to quit smoking and I also knew plenty of ex-smokers who seemed to revel in not only telling me how incredibly hard it was for them to quit, but also how they still fancied a cigarette years after quitting! As someone who, on previous attempts to quit, couldn\u2019t even last 24 hours \u2014 the thought of having to control urges to smoke for a week \u2014 let alone years \u2014 made me feel completely helpless &#038; hopeless.<\/p>\n<p><em>I\u2019d often put off an attempt to quit for that reason alone, \u201cWhy even bother trying to quit \u2014 I\u2019ll never make it?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Secondly, as I\u2019ve alluded to, my own experiences of quitting were terrible. I\u2019d struggle to last a few hours before caving in and returning to smoking. As a chain-smoker those were miserable moments\u2026marching up to the shop counter and asking for 4 packs of \u2018Rothmans\u2019 which would only get me through the next 24 hours .<\/p>\n<p><em>At the best of times I was embarrassed by how much I smoked \u2014 in fact I\u2019d always go to a different shop each day \u2014 buying 4 packs a day in the same store would have been humiliating.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Thirdly, and most importantly, the fear of success was further fuelled by my belief that I loved smoking. That it aided me in any number of ways. I genuinely believed that it helped me to relax, to handle stress, to socialise, to pick me up when I felt down, to calm me down when I might be upset or angry, to enjoy alcohol, to enjoy meals out, actually \u2014 to enjoy meals per se!<\/p>\n<p><em>In spite of being overweight I was even convinced that smoking helped me control my weight and that quitting smoking would make me even more so. After all, I\u2019d seen that happen to plenty of smokers when they quit.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>My thinking was, \u201cwhat\u2019s the point in living if I can\u2019t smoke anymore?\u201d. That in a nutshell, is fear of success.<\/p>\n<p>Before I even tried to quit I was anticipating misery, feeling deprived, feeling gloomy, and feeling like I was about to lose a friend. That\u2019s the way I always felt before every single attempt to quit smoking. No wonder I was doomed to fail \u2014 I was beaten before I even started.<\/p>\n<p>Then I was fortunate enough to stumble across Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway, and in spite of the method\u2019s bold claims, I took some convincing that not only would I succeed in stopping smoking \u2014 but that as a happy non-smoker I\u2019d feel as if I\u2019d been released from prison, like I\u2019d got rid of an enemy rather than a friend, that I\u2019d enjoy life more, enjoy social occasions more, handle stress better, feel more relaxed, AND even lose weight rather than gain weight!<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, and most unlike me, I followed Allen\u2019s instructions, adopted an open frame of mind, and accepted that this way, Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway, things would be different.<\/p>\n<p>Having failed to quit with his book it took just 5 hours at a Live Group Seminar to understand how &#038; why previous attempts to quit had been so tortuous and unsuccessful, and how &#038; why this time was going to be different.<\/p>\n<p>To me it was like a miracle \u2014 but it was no such thing.<\/p>\n<p>Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway simply unpicked the belief system that nicotine addiction had installed in me. The sense of freedom and release when I finally understood that the addiction &#038; brainwashing is what fooled me into thinking that smoking provided so many pleasures &#038; benefits was enormous. Huge.<\/p>\n<p><em>It really was like the unmasking of a monster that I\u2019d previously considered my friend. Suddenly I wasn\u2019t worried about a future without cigarettes, I was genuinely excited, optimistic, and overwhelmingly relieved &#038; overjoyed to be getting free.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>One of the saddest things in the world is that fear of success \u2014 it\u2019s one of the fears that keeps tens of millions of smokers hooked, prevents them from even attempting to quit, and condemns them to failure in the event that they try. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/en-us\/about-allen-carrs-easyway\/the-allen-carr-easyway-method\/\">Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway<\/a> removes all the fears that keep smokers trapped.<\/p>\n<p>I hope that all makes sense Osman . In summary, accept that Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway is different, allow yourself to anticipate wonderful freedom, and if, like me, you failed to quit with the book \u2014 book a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/en-us\/easyway-stop-smoking\/live-group-seminars\/\">live group seminar<\/a> with money back guarantee.
