Of course, you\u2019d be grateful. Every ounce of your hopes for survival would be invested in that floatation aid. You\u2019d no doubt cling onto it for dear life.<\/p>\n<p>In a way, that perfectly describes the predicament of a book reader who struggles to quit. There are some that hold on tight, hoping and praying that they\u2019ll eventually drift toward land or see a passing ship. And indeed there are some who make it to safety.<\/p>\n<p>Can you imagine drifting in the middle of the ocean with only a life jacket keeping you afloat when suddenly you come across an empty life raft? You\u2019d grab it wouldn\u2019t you? Of course, you would! By doing so your chances of survival and rescue have improved manyfold. You certainly wouldn\u2019t simply stick with the life jacket \u2014 even if you\u2019d heard dozens of stories of people surviving by virtue of wearing one. It\u2019s a no-brainer.<\/p>\n<p>What if you saw a coastguard boat in the distance? Would you put all your faith in the trusty life jacket, \u201c<em>I\u2019ll just stick with this<\/em>\u201d, or would you wave and signal for their attention as if your life depended on it? Again, it\u2019s a no-brainer whether you\u2019ve just got a life jacket or are in a life raft. In either case it would be ridiculous to ignore the rescue boat\u2026even if you\u2019d heard dozens of stories of shipwreck victims floating to safety in a life jacket or life raft.<\/p>\n<h2>Good, better, best.<\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway to Quit Smoking the \u201cgood, better, best\u201d versions of the method have nothing to do with the sneaky supermarket pricing policies used to manipulate consumers.<\/p>\n<p>In Easyway\u2019s case they have arisen entirely organically and it\u2019s an absolute tragedy that the brilliant reputation of the world\u2019s bestselling, most effective quit smoking book leaves some smokers marooned in a life jacket or life raft, drifting in hope of rescue, mistakenly thinking that\u2019s the best thing for them to do\u2026 even when they can see a rescue boat in the distance!<\/p>\n<h3>Good (the life jacket): <em>Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway to Quit Smoking book<\/em>.<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"

The original, most effective, clinically proven version of the method is the Live Group Seminar.<\/p>\n<p>One of the main reasons Allen originally wrote the book was to help cope with the number of smokers reaching out for places at our seminars. It was an amazing thing to do \u2014 virtually \u2018giving away\u2019 the method in written form to help his mission; to cure the world of smoking. The book still costs less than a pack or two of cigarettes and has helped tens of millions of smokers to freedom.

Would you really stay bobbing in the middle of the ocean in a life jacket \u2014 when a life raft is at your fingertips?<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Best (the coastguard): <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/en-us\/easyway-stop-smoking\/live-group-seminars\/\">Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway to Quit Smoking Live Group Seminars (now available via Zoom)<\/a><\/em><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-87979\" src=\"https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/06170913\/coastguard-jack-b-R9_cs4T-j_E-unsplash-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"coastguard helicopter\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/06170913\/coastguard-jack-b-R9_cs4T-j_E-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/06170913\/coastguard-jack-b-R9_cs4T-j_E-unsplash-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/06170913\/coastguard-jack-b-R9_cs4T-j_E-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/06170913\/coastguard-jack-b-R9_cs4T-j_E-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/06170913\/coastguard-jack-b-R9_cs4T-j_E-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/06170913\/coastguard-jack-b-R9_cs4T-j_E-unsplash-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/06170913\/coastguard-jack-b-R9_cs4T-j_E-unsplash-1600x1067.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/06170913\/coastguard-jack-b-R9_cs4T-j_E-unsplash-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/06170913\/coastguard-jack-b-R9_cs4T-j_E-unsplash-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/06170913\/coastguard-jack-b-R9_cs4T-j_E-unsplash-1890x1260.jpg 1890w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/06170913\/coastguard-jack-b-R9_cs4T-j_E-unsplash-945x630.jpg 945w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/06170913\/coastguard-jack-b-R9_cs4T-j_E-unsplash-472x315.jpg 472w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/06170913\/coastguard-jack-b-R9_cs4T-j_E-unsplash-236x157.jpg 236w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/06170913\/coastguard-jack-b-R9_cs4T-j_E-unsplash-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/06170913\/coastguard-jack-b-R9_cs4T-j_E-unsplash-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/06170913\/coastguard-jack-b-R9_cs4T-j_E-unsplash-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/06170913\/coastguard-jack-b-R9_cs4T-j_E-unsplash-1760x1173.jpg 1760w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/06170913\/coastguard-jack-b-R9_cs4T-j_E-unsplash-880x587.jpg 880w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/06170913\/coastguard-jack-b-R9_cs4T-j_E-unsplash-440x293.jpg 440w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/06170913\/coastguard-jack-b-R9_cs4T-j_E-unsplash-220x147.jpg 220w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/06170913\/coastguard-jack-b-R9_cs4T-j_E-unsplash-25x17.jpg 25w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/06170913\/coastguard-jack-b-R9_cs4T-j_E-unsplash-12x8.jpg 12w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/06170913\/coastguard-jack-b-R9_cs4T-j_E-unsplash-1100x733.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/06170913\/coastguard-jack-b-R9_cs4T-j_E-unsplash-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/06170913\/coastguard-jack-b-R9_cs4T-j_E-unsplash-275x183.jpg 275w, https:\/\/allen-carr-live.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/06170913\/coastguard-jack-b-R9_cs4T-j_E-unsplash-137x91.jpg 137w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As mentioned already, this is the original, the absolute best, the most effective, clinically proven version of the method which is delivered by former smokers who used the method to quit and became inspired to join Allen on his mission. The Live Group Seminars are in every way superior to any other versions of the method, after all \u2014 you can\u2019t ask the book or online video program a question, or ask them to explain a specific issue or concern you might have, whereas the live seminar is \u201cin the moment\u201d, something you actively participate in, something which includes free of charge back up sessions for the few that require them, free telephone\/email support, and the same money back guarantee that we\u2019ve been offering for nearly 40 years.<\/p>\n<p><em>It\u2019s not merely the best, it\u2019s not merely the quit smoking equivalent of the coastguard, it\u2019s the clinically proven, most effective, (and showing my age here) the \u201cThunderbirds \u2014 International Rescue\u201d version of the method. It is simply incomparable to anything else.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Epilogue<\/h2>\n<p>I recently conducted a survey of the \u2018<em>Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway to Quit Smoking Facebook Group<\/em>\u2019 members who have thus far failed to quit smoking after reading the book. Unbelievably,<strong> 79%<\/strong> (seventy nine percent) of them have stuck with the \u201c<em>life jacket<\/em>\u201d, determined to read the book again and again and again, while completely ignoring the Online Video Program \u201c<em>life raft<\/em>\u201d and Live Group Seminar \u201c<em>coastguard<\/em>\u201d \u2014 rescue at their fingertips.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that there are literally hundreds of thousands of \u201cbook-reader smokers\u201d who need more help, yet don\u2019t reach out for it is nothing short of a human tragedy.<\/p>\n<p>Take a look at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/en-us\/easyway-stop-smoking\/on-demand-online-video\/\">Online Video Program here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Take a look at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/en-us\/easyway-stop-smoking\/live-group-seminars\/\">Live Group Seminars<\/a> (now available \u2014 and equally effective \u2014 via Zoom) here<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget \u2014 we are always happy to offer free of charge advice and guidance to anyone struggling to succeed with Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway.
