Real-life questions from struggling smokers.<\/p>\n<h2>I smoke when I&#8217;m bored &#8211; help<\/h2>\n<p><em>\u201cI smoked my last cigarette last night. I primarily smoked out of boredom \u2014 what can I do when I\u2019m bored? With two small children there\u2019s nothing I can do (well, nothing I really want to do) to fill the boredom\u2026the kids get into everything. I want so desperately for it to be easy. To be able to just brush off the big monster and ignore it. I woke up this morning and the monster is unbearable. I don\u2019t want to smoke so why is it so loud? I got so bored and so stressed and uncomfortable. It\u2019s supposed to be easy to tell it to go away and that I don\u2019t want or need one but it\u2019s not listening. I don\u2019t want to miss smoking and logically I don\u2019t. I feel like I\u2019m using willpower, the stress, the irritability! I know the words. I know the teaching but when it comes down to it, in the moment, when I need it most\u2026I can\u2019t remember it (I suffer some memory difficulty). I feel like a lost cause. All I want is to quit smoking and not be extra stressed or irritable. I don\u2019t want to need smoking in my life!\u201d. Chloe, Northampton, UK<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Please be cool Chloe. I\u2019m certain that I can help and I\u2019m really sorry that you\u2019ve had such a tough time of it.<\/p>\n<p>I completely understand the misery of failure to quit with the book (I\u2019ve been there myself) and I\u2019m certain that in the links below you will find some inspiration and access to everything you need to set yourself free without having any of those negative feelings you describe.<\/p>\n<p>The fact is, I had clearly missed, or misunderstood, more than a few things about the method \u2014 even though I was convinced I had taken it all on board. I was lucky enough to attend an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/en-us\/easyway-stop-smoking\/live-group-seminars\/\">Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway to Quit Smoking Live Group Seminar<\/a> which slotted all the right pieces into all the right places.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s really important that you accept that you have missed something, maybe a few things, within the method, but please don\u2019t beat yourself up about that. I know you feel you know it all off by heart \u2014 but something simply hasn\u2019t quite clicked for you yet and a little extra advice and guidance from us is normally all it takes.<\/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. To obtain that guidance select <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/en-us\/contact-us\/\">SUPPORT<\/a>. You\u2019ll then get to fill out a short questionnaire about your experience with the method \u2014 and based on that \u2014 a senior Allen Carr Facilitator will provide you with bespoke, detailed, free of charge advice on how to get the method to gel for you.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Believing that we smoke because of boredom is one of the great myths &amp; illusions of nicotine addiction. Accepting that you don\u2019t choose to smoke is key. If you choose to smoke you wouldn\u2019t require any assistance from us or anyone else to quit. Smokers smoke because they\u2019re addicted to nicotine\u2026as we get older we justify our failure to quit by \u201cbuying into\u201d some of the illusory benefits that the addiction convinces us we receive. Breaking down those illusions is important but easy.<\/p>\n<p><em>You don\u2019t choose to smoke because of boredom\u2026you smoke for one simple reason: you\u2019re addicted to nicotine.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>What does a smoker do when they\u2019re bored? <em><strong>They smoke!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>What does a smoker do when they\u2019re trying to concentrate? <em><strong>They smoke!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>What about when they\u2019re happy?

When you think about it \u2014 doesn\u2019t that just about sum addiction up?<\/p>\n<p>Because we automatically reach for a cigarette when we\u2019re bored or taking a break or feeling under pressure \u2014 and because while smoking a cigarette we feel immediately better than a moment before \u2014 we assume that the cigarette relieved the boredom or the added to the break (like a reward) or helped us feel less stressed.<\/p>\n<p><em>As smokers we don\u2019t realise that whether we\u2019re bored, trying to relax, or cope with stress \u2014 we have a whole other level of stress on top of that which a non-smoker feels at those times.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the constant, ever so slight, feeling of nicotine withdrawal which acts as a trigger for that annoying, \u201cI want a cigarette\u201d thought. At that time we try to battle and fight the thought or try to brush it away and not think about it \u2014 but that\u2019s always a mistake.<\/p>\n<p><em>If I say, \u201cWhatever you do don\u2019t think about a banana now!\u201d\u2026no doubt you\u2019re thinking about a banana.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>You can\u2019t not think about something you\u2019re trying not to think about.<\/p>\n<p>Getting comfortable with thinking about cigarettes is what\u2019s important and we can give some very specific advice about that on the support link I provided above. But trust me, once you re-wire your brain, fix the thought process that occurs when that little nicotine monster rears its ugly head, the more you think about cigarettes or smoking, the happier you\u2019ll be. Re-wiring your brain is easy \u2014 so please do use the support contact link I provided above.<\/p>\n<p>Be cool Chloe \u2014 once you have all the advice we have to provide on this subject \u2014 you\u2019ll be home and dry and because we\u2019ll explain that smoking wasn\u2019t ever something you chose to do as a reward (for example) you won\u2019t feel that you\u2019re missing out on that \u201creward\u201d once you\u2019re free.<\/p>\n<p>Best wishes<\/p>\n<p>John at Allen Carr<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n\n    <section class=\"related-articles u-background-white article-related-articles\">\n                \n                            \n                \n        <h3 class=\"related-articles__title u-text-center\">\n            Up next&#8230;\n        <\/h3>\n\n        <div class=\"container related-articles__container\">\n                                                                            <div class=\"article-preview article-preview--standard_altern u-hover-state\">\n    <div class=\"article-preview__columns article-preview__columns--standard_altern\">\n        <div class=\"article-preview__column article-preview__column--standard_altern\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/en-us\/articles\/life-smoker-miserable-entire-day-revolved-around-smoking\/\" alt=\"article url\">\n                <div class=\"article-preview__image-wrap u-image-absolute\">\n                                                                                            <img decoding=\"async\"\n     src=\"https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/16095715\/michelle.png\"\n             srcset=\"https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/16095715\/michelle.png 360w,\n             https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/16095715\/michelle.png 768w,\n             https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/16095715\/michelle.png 1440w,\n             https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/16095715\/michelle.png 2000w\"\n             alt=\"\"\n               \/>                                    <\/div>\n            <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"article-preview__column article-preview__column--standard_altern\">\n            <div class=\"article-preview__post-info article-preview__post-info--standard_altern\">\n                <div class=\"article-preview__taxonomy-terms\">\n                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/en-us\/articles\/addictions\/smoking\/smoking-your-future\/\" class=\"type-category term-primary\" alt=\"category term\">\n                            Smoking Your Future\n                        <\/a>\n                                    <\/div>\n\n                <div class=\"article-preview__date-wrap\">\n                    <span>\n                        July 2024\n                    <\/span>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n            <div class=\"article-preview__title-wrap\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/en-us\/articles\/life-smoker-miserable-entire-day-revolved-around-smoking\/\" alt=\"article url\">\n                    <h3 class=\"article-preview__title\">\n                        My life as a smoker was miserable.
