We\u2019ve answered every single one of them, and continue to do so with pleasure. I\u2019ve undertaken to publish as many replies as I can in the hope that it will help even more people to freedom. Real-life questions from struggling smokers.<\/p>\n<h2>Can I quit smoking if my partner smokes?<\/h2>\n<p><em>Dear John,<br \/>\nWill it be harder to quit smoking if my partner smokes? My partner smokes (and I guess it\u2019s the same for anyone who has a roommate that is a smoker)? I don\u2019t want to be sucked back into smoking because I live with a smoker. My goal is to take care of myself, hope they see me as a beacon of hope or an inspiration, and choose to quit on their own at some point in the near future. In the past I\u2019ve allowed other smokers to trigger me to go back to smoking and I don\u2019t want that to happen this time. Do you have any advice about living with smokers please? I\u2019m planning to use Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway to Quit Smoking method so any tips from you would be gratefully received. Emily, Portland, Oregan, USA<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Hi Emily,<\/p>\n<p>Well done for making the decision to get free in spite of the fact that your partner plans to continue smoking. That can often be enough to deter someone from even trying to quit. It creates a sense of foreboding and almost inevitable failure knowing that someone is going to be puffing away gleefully while you\u2019re trying to resist the temptation not to do it.<\/p>\n<p>I have fabulous news for you though Emily! This time it will be different for you. One of the major differences between Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway and other methods is that other methods leave a sense of loss, a feeling of sacrifice, of missing out on something, whereas Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway does not.<\/p>\n<p><em>Imagine that there was a magic button which, if pressed, would make it like you\u2019d never smoked your first ever experimental cigarette. In other words \u2014 instant freedom! How would you view smoking if that happened? It\u2019s highly doubtful you\u2019d view it with desire\u2026in fact you\u2019d view it as something you\u2019d escaped from and were delighted to avoid for the rest of your life. Remember \u2014 there would be no sense of loss \u2014 it would be as if you\u2019d never smoked.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-72086 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/30154753\/magic-button-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/30154753\/magic-button-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/30154753\/magic-button-600x450.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/30154753\/magic-button-400x300.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/30154753\/magic-button-472x354.jpeg 472w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/30154753\/magic-button-236x177.jpeg 236w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/30154753\/magic-button-200x150.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/30154753\/magic-button-100x75.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/30154753\/magic-button-50x38.jpeg 50w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/30154753\/magic-button-440x330.jpeg 440w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/30154753\/magic-button-220x165.jpeg 220w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/30154753\/magic-button-25x19.jpeg 25w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/30154753\/magic-button-12x9.jpeg 12w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/30154753\/magic-button-550x413.jpeg 550w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/30154753\/magic-button-275x206.jpeg 275w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/30154753\/magic-button-137x103.jpeg 137w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/30154753\/magic-button.jpeg 720w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the effect of Allen Carr\u2019s method. It explains why we started smoking, why we continued to smoke, and why we think we enjoy it, get benefits from it, why it seems to act as an emotional crutch, stress reliever, and relaxer. The method explains how smokers are fooled into believing that cigarettes do all those wonderful things for them, whereas, in fact, they do the complete opposite.<\/p>\n<p>I know that sounds hard to believe at the moment \u2014 but over the course of 5\u20136 hours at our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/en-us\/easyway-stop-smoking\/live-group-seminars\/\">Live Group Seminars<\/a> or the time it takes to read Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway to Quit Smoking book (USA\/Canada, UK, Rest of the World), we explain exactly how the deception is achieved.<\/p>\n<p><em>It\u2019s like having a confidence trick or hustle explained to you\u2026once you know how it works\u2026it\u2019s simply impossible for you to fall for the trick again.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Not so long ago I visited Paris with my wife and kids \u2014 I\u2019d been to Paris many times but for some reason had never ventured to Montmartre to visit the white-domed \u2018Basilica of the Sacr\u00e9-C\u0153ur\u2019. While planning the day I was surprised that all the guide books issued serious warnings about visiting the area. They were full of warnings of fleet-footed, light-fingered pickpockets, gangsters, and hustlers that \u201cinfest\u201d the area. The guidebooks warned particularly of the \u201c3 Shell Game\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>I was familiar, as you probably are, with the concept of the \u201cgame\u201d but it had never occurred to me that it was completely \u201cfixed\u201d and therefore impossible to win.<\/p>\n<p>Take a look at this explanatory short video about how the \u201c3 Shell Game\u201d is rigged (2 minutes 39 seconds).<br \/>\n<iframe title=\"The 3 Shell Game\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9wTbn7-WVjg\" width=\"675\" height=\"389\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Can you see how you simply have no chance of winning the \u201c3 Shell Game\u201d?<\/p>\n<p><em>You can\u2019t outsmart it, you can\u2019t catch the \u201cdealer\u201d out, and even if you somehow convinced yourself that you could (even though you definitely cannot) you know that his accomplices would drag you down an alleyway and relieve you of your wallet.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Now\u2026would you play the \u201c3 Shell Game\u201d?<\/strong><br \/>\nMake no mistake, you might play it to enjoy seeing the dealer\u2019s sleight of hand, but, having seen the video of how the game works and how you can never, ever win, would you ever play the game in an attempt to win money?<\/p>\n<p>Of course not! Why not? Because you understand that it is a confidence trick, a hustle, a rip-off game that you simply cannot win.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/en-us\/about-allen-carrs-easyway\/the-allen-carr-easyway-method\/\">Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway<\/a> exposes the myths and illusions that surround smoking and nicotine addiction. Once you understand how they work \u2014 you have immunity from them.<\/p>\n<p>At our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/en-us\/easyway-stop-smoking\/\">Live Group Seminars<\/a> we actually help smokers experience the illusions while they\u2019re at the seminar. We use real-time examples &amp; exercises that enable attendees to actually feel &amp; experience the illusions of nicotine addiction and identify the weaknesses of nicotine withdrawal and its effect on their bodies. Having experienced that \u2014 they understand how it simply won\u2019t be a problem once they stub out their final cigarette.<\/p>\n<p><em>These are stunning, <strong>life-changing<\/strong> moments as smokers experience physically and mentally how they\u2019ve been conned by the addiction. It\u2019s rather like watching the magician who shows us how the \u201c3 Shell Game\u201d is fixed. These were always my favourite moments during the live seminars as a senior Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway Facilitator\/Facilitator explaining how the hustle works.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So, in the past, when you\u2019ve used willpower to quit smoking you\u2019ve done so without understanding how nicotine has hustled you into believing that it\u2019s given you advantages, benefits, and pleasure\u2026so as soon as you quit you feel deprived of something \u2026you experience a sense of loss, a feeling of misery. When a partner or roommate lights a cigarette in those circumstances it heightens that sense of misery and makes you feel even worse.<\/p>\n<p>To me it felt like a \u201cwhite knuckle-ride\u201d as I held onto my resolve, determined not to cave in to the temptation, before finally, inevitably doing so. I ended up feeling awful about myself. My self-esteem was shattered, I felt embarrassed and ashamed of my failure and lack of willpower, and felt weak and helpless. The whole experience is enough to put us of even trying to quit again isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n<p><em>Allen Carr showing me how the whole hustle of nicotine addiction works saved my life and turned me from an 80 a day smoker who turned into a jelly-fish if I didn\u2019t have at least 2 packs of cigarettes on my person \u2014 into a happy non-smoker in just 5 hours.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I was so surprised and shocked at the ease with which I quitted \u2014 I was inspired to get in touch with Allen to say \u201cthank you\u201d and ask if I could help him take his amazing method across the world.<\/p>\n<p>Back to your question Emily, when Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway works for you \u2014 you won\u2019t feel deprived when you see your partner smoking. In fact, you\u2019ll feel great!<\/p>\n<p>Why? How? Well, I don\u2019t like Brussels Sprouts. I don\u2019t understand people who do like them \u2014 but personally I have no interest in eating them under any circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>Even if I was as drunk as a skunk, surrounded by friends eating plates of them \u2014 I simply wouldn\u2019t be tempted to even try one. Not even a nibble.<\/p>\n<p>Why would I? You could wave them under my nose, make a performance of savouring their flavor while you devour them\u2026but I\u2019ll never be tempted to have one.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-72209 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/30155144\/brussel-sprouts-200x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/30155144\/brussel-sprouts-200x300.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/30155144\/brussel-sprouts-600x899.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/30155144\/brussel-sprouts-683x1024.jpeg 683w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/30155144\/brussel-sprouts-400x599.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/30155144\/brussel-sprouts-494x740.jpeg 494w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/30155144\/brussel-sprouts-247x370.jpeg 247w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/30155144\/brussel-sprouts-164x246.jpeg 164w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/30155144\/brussel-sprouts-100x150.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/30155144\/brussel-sprouts-50x75.jpeg 50w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/30155144\/brussel-sprouts-440x659.jpeg 440w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/30155144\/brussel-sprouts-220x330.jpeg 220w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/30155144\/brussel-sprouts-267x400.jpeg 267w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/30155144\/brussel-sprouts-133x200.jpeg 133w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/30155144\/brussel-sprouts-67x100.jpeg 67w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/30155144\/brussel-sprouts-44x66.jpeg 44w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/30155144\/brussel-sprouts-25x37.jpeg 25w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/30155144\/brussel-sprouts-12x18.jpeg 12w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/30155144\/brussel-sprouts-550x824.jpeg 550w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/30155144\/brussel-sprouts-275x412.jpeg 275w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/30155144\/brussel-sprouts-137x205.jpeg 137w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/30155144\/brussel-sprouts.jpeg 720w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019ll never take even the teeniest bit of willpower to resist the \u201clure\u201d of Brussels Sprouts and I\u2019ll never feel miserable or deprived because I can\u2019t have one.
