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<p><em>\u201cMy husband has become very mean since he quit smoking \u2014 why? He quit cold turkey, with no support and has become so spiteful. It\u2019s been almost a year now. I didn\u2019t react too much as I figured it was to do with the stress of it. I\u2019m coming to the end of my patience and want to understand what his problem is. Did it change his brain? He has never been hard on people until he quitted smoking but is now mean to everyone \u2014 even his grandchildren and our daughter\u201d. Janice, Michigan, USA<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I am so sorry Janice. I feel for you and your husband. It is hugely regrettable that he had not stumbled across Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway before he quit as the method prevents smokers and their families going through the awful experience that you\u2019re currently enduring. Allen\u2019s method is called Easyway for a reason.<\/p>\n<p>Given that your husband quit smoking with willpower, and assuming that his change in behavior is the result of that (as opposed to other factors) there are two possible explanations for his demeanour.<\/p>\n<p>First, perhaps he is using willpower to remain a non-smoker and feels that he\u2019s sacrificed a tremendous pleasure and crutch. In other words, he feels like a smoker who isn\u2019t allowed to smoke anymore.<\/p>\n<p>It is a truly miserable feeling but if he\u2019s remained a non-smoker for a year in those circumstances it is testimony to his determination and sincerity in wanting to quit. That is not to say that people who cannot quit smoking using willpower lack determination or sincerity \u2014 I was desperate to quit yet couldn\u2019t do it for a day let alone a year using willpower alone (you can read how I eventually quitted smoking here).<\/p>\n<p>Anyway \u2014 someone who quits smoking using willpower feels deprived and miserable \u2014 in most cases for every minute, of every day that they manage to abstain from smoking. It is the sense of missing out on something they believed made them happy, or helped them relax, handle stress, or simply that they believe they enjoyed it which creates a snippy, angry, emotional, and mean demeanour.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/en-us\/about-allen-carrs-easyway\/the-allen-carr-easyway-method\/\">Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway method<\/a> explains to a smoker BEFORE they quit that they were fooled into thinking that smoking did that whole range of positive things, but that it worked like a con-trick, a hustle. Once the smoker understands how the hustle worked \u2014 they are immediately set free from their belief in the \u201cmagic qualities\u201d of smoking. They realise that they\u2019re fake and the smoker can turn their attention to making an exciting escape, rather than suffer a gloomy feeling that they have to \u201cquit\u201d something positive.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The second possible explanation for his behavior is that he has perhaps become a secret smoker and smokes when he is able to, but resists when he is not. This is another form of torture altogether \u2014 the worst of all worlds. It delivers all the misery of the \u201cwillpower method\u201d without the consolation of improved health. Not only that \u2014 it destroys your self-esteem. How? The lure of those secret cigarettes controls everything you do. You create excuses for unnecessary journeys, for time outside the home, for breaks from work or even from relaxing downtime.<\/p>\n<p><em>A secret smoker will do almost anything to concoct a reason to \u201cdisappear\u201d for a while so that they can have a crafty puff.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>As a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/en-us\/authors\/john-dicey\/\">former chain-smoker<\/a> I wasn\u2019t a successful secret smoker. It\u2019s impossible to smoke 80 a day secretly \u2014 but I have talked to enough committed secret smokers to have a great understanding of the torture and hell they endure. The great thing about helping those smokers to freedom was that they seemed to cherish the fact that life became so much simpler, more enjoyable, more relaxing, and less stressful as a non-smoker than perhaps even a heavy former smoker might.<\/p>\n<p><em>Like someone who\u2019s used willpower to quit smoking \u2014 being a secret smoker can make someone snippy, angry, emotional, and mean whenever they are \u201ctrapped\u201d in a situation that doesn\u2019t allow them to escape and smoke as often as they would like to.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Janice, it\u2019s hard to give advice in this situation because so much of \u201cwhat you do next\u201d is dependent on the strength of your relationship together. If your husband is still smoking, albeit secretly, then perhaps you should sit down and have a frank (but gentle) discussion about it? Be sure to understand how fragile he must feel, how low he must feel about the situation he is in. Do try to give him some \u201cwiggle room\u201d in a non-judgemental way.<\/p>\n<p>Be gentle. It\u2019s not his fault, and no-one feels worse than he does about the deception. Believe me, addiction made liars of us all! Until we escaped. Accept with grace, the virtue of the eventual confession, rather than focus on the hurt of the deceit.<\/p>\n<p>Feel free to let him know that you have found someone who will guarantee that he will not only quit smoking \u2014 but find it easy to quit! If he completes the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/en-us\/easyway-stop-smoking\/live-group-seminars\/\">Live Group Seminar program<\/a> and fails to quit, or even if he quits but doesn\u2019t find it easy, his fee will be refunded in full. You can see the full terms of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/en-us\/help-and-faqs\/what-is-the-money-back-guarantee\/\">money back guarantee here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If your husband definitely has not smoked for a year but confirms that he has been fighting an ongoing battle, then be sure to express how proud you are that he\u2019s fought that battle so determinedly \u2014 he\u2019s done an amazing thing. Maybe suggest that he drops me a line for some advice on how to handle the negative feelings and emotions that he\u2019s experiencing when he thinks about cigarettes and smoking and reassure him that I can explain what it is that is causing the discomfort, and how it can be avoided in the future. I\u2019m happy to provide the advice free of charge.<\/p>\n<p>He can contact me by selecting \u201cSUPPORT\u201d on<a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/en-us\/contact-us\/\"> this LINK<\/a>. He will then get to fill out a short questionnaire about his experience of stopping smoking and based on that I\u2019ll be able to provide him with bespoke, detailed, free of charge advice on how to get rid of those mood swings and anger. Please have him remember to mention my name and the fact that he didn\u2019t use Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway when he describes his experience.<\/p>\n<p>Please do not do make contact for him \u2014 he must do it himself \u2014 but please do tread carefully, gently, and with sympathy and understanding.<\/p>\n<p><em>The life of an addict is lonely and tortuous and there is nothing more lonely or tortuous than life as a secret smoker or a former smoker relying on willpower.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In closing, it would be wrong of me not to mention the possibility that his moods and meanness might be unconnected with having quitted smoking and that he is struggling with work or home relationships, unknown worries and stress, or just life in general \u2014 so please, please, please bear that in mind. If that is the case \u2014 he can only benefit from talking to you, and others, who might be able to help. If you can gently guide him toward doing that you can change his life, and the lives of everyone around him, forever.<\/p>\n<p>My thoughts are with you Janice, your daughter, your grandkids, and very much with your husband and I hope you all find your way through this situation.<\/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.
