I had the terrible feeling that I was hooked on some very stupid habit that I didn\u00b4t have the strength to quit.<\/p>\n<p>I had a permanent voice inside reminding me how much of an idiot I was for being so irresponsible with my life and how normal and smart other people were because they didn\u00b4t smoke\u2026.it was such a torture to look around and see so many people living NORMAL lives and enjoying them compared to mine.<\/p>\n<p>I knew it wasn\u2019t right and the confusing feeling that I actually \u201cliked it\u201d was very odd and terrifying because it felt like a time-bomb and I was the only person who could get rid of it. It was like a nightmare but I didn\u00b4t know how to get free.<\/p>\n<p><strong>John: Did you try to quit many times?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Claudia: The first time I tried to quit was when I realised that already, in my early 30\u00b4s, I was losing energy in one of my favourite hobbies which is the gym.<\/p>\n<p>So one day I said \u201cThis is the last cigarette in my life, and I will finally be free\u201d it was easy to say but in the minute I became aware of this, I was invaded by fear. I couldn\u00b4t think of anything else but smoking. This anxiety and sadness started to appear and I didn\u2019t manage to last 24 hours! I lit up a cigarette and continued to smoke for two more years knowing that I probably would smoke for the rest of my life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>John: So how did you hear about Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Claudia: One day, reading a magazine in Chile, I saw Allen Carr\u00b4s Easyway method mentioned as a very successful one to quit smoking without suffering. It said that there was a money back guarantee. I honestly liked the idea that I wasn\u00b4t going to suffer, it was not a money issue, believe me! I even thought that if I were to find a real method to quit and this one would cost me a million dollars, I would move the world to get the money and pay for it!<\/p>\n<p>At that stage, my biggest dream was to become a non-smoker.<\/p>\n<p>To my surprise, the method was available in many countries except for Chile &#8211; so I travelled to Mexico, my home country, and booked into a seminar.<\/p>\n<p>By this time my brother and his friends had already been to the seminar and they had been smoke-free for some time &#8211; so this inspired me even more because I thought my brother was the kind of smoker who would be impossible to cure!<\/p>\n<p class=\"download_icon\"><strong>John: How did it go for you after the seminar?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"download_icon\">Claudia: The day of the seminar I had very mixed feelings because I realised I had a love and hate relationship with smoking. I felt sad and happy to quit at the same time. It was all so terribly confusing UNTIL THAT DAY.<br \/> I didn\u00b4t know that this confusion had a name, it\u00b4s called ADDICTION and it\u00b4s no pleasure at all to live with it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"download_icon\">After the session I was the same person who entered in the morning but the big difference was that there was no need to smoke, no craving at all, it was SO EASY that I honestly thought this was nothing else but magic!<\/p>\n<p class=\"download_icon\"><strong>John: How did you get involved with the organisation?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"download_icon\">Claudia: After the seminar I didn\u00b4t hesitate for one second and asked my facilitator to put me in touch with the worldwide headquarters of Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway.<\/p>\n<p class=\"download_icon\">It was a tough process to be recruited \u2013 but it was so worthwhile. To bring Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway to Quit Smoking to Chile was my quest \u2013 it was an honour to achieve it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"download_icon\">The training was really tough too. And while I was preparing myself to become a facilitator and run the sessions in Chile, day by day I could feel why it was so right to do it and my decision was the best one.<\/p>\n<p class=\"download_icon\">I went back to my fitness life and noticed a huge difference in my high impact training. I could now spend more time with my boys and quitted torturing them with the idea of a sick mom.<\/p>\n<p class=\"download_icon\">I gained my productive time, my energy, my health, my breath is fresh, I whitened my teeth, the money I would have smoked in a year I spent in on plane tickets for me and my children, I look better, I feel better and the best of all: I AM FINALLY FREE OF THAT MISERABLE LIFE OF SMOKING TWO PACKS A DAY FOR 16 YEARS NON-STOP.<\/p>\n<p class=\"download_icon\">To become a franchisee started as a passion and a business but then it became something bigger than that. I am committed to something special, I do for others what I prayed that somebody would do for me some day\u2026to set them free,<\/p>\n<p class=\"download_icon\">Today I feel part of a big family which is the Allen Carr\u00b4s Easyway Organisation that makes me a proud member of a hard-working worldwide team of incredibly special people.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"button red hvr\"
