It was something that stood out about me and I was embarrassed by it many times. To always be the person in a group who smoked more than anyone else. I smoked so much, even when I was feeling unwell, it never quitted me from smoking all day and all night. I would rarely run out of my preferred brand \u2013 but if I did \u2013 I would smoke any cigarette rather than go without.<\/p>\n<p>Half the years I spent smoking I also spent trying to quit. I tried time and time again \u2013 but every time I went back to smoking. After every time I failed to quit smoking I felt really bad about myself. It left me feeling weak and embarrassed that I couldn\u2019t quit smoking.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So how did you come to find Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway to Quit Smoking?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yousung: I had heard of the famous book but fortuitously managed to attend a quit smoking seminar at Allen Carr\u2019s London Center on a trip to the UK. It was interesting to see so many smokers in one place and even more strange when we were given the instruction to carry on smoking until the end of the seminar. It felt so peculiar to take smoking breaks while attending a quit smoking seminar. It was an interesting, inspirational, exciting day in my life.<\/p>\n<p>The miracle started as soon as I got back into daily life after the seminar \u2013 I had found it easy not to smoke after the seminar \u2013 but even when I returned to work \u2013 I remained free without any discomfort at all.<\/p>\n<p>Up until then I believed stopping smoking was impossible in my life. I\u2019d tried dozens of times and failed dozens of times. I couldn\u2019t believe that I\u2019d escaped to freedom so easily.<\/p>\n<p><strong>John: How does it feel to be part of Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway team?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yousung: Working as an Allen Carr facilitator is a joy \u2013 a streak of enlightenment day by day. Every day I see the new aspects of smoking, and it feels wonderful to help to set people free from smoking.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, I get exhausted through the work \u2013 it can be tough helping people sometimes. However, I rather feel humble and modest by the value of saving lives. I have a great team in South Korea and we know we are engaged in wonderful work. Helping smokers to find it easy to quit smoking is an incredible way of living. I love doing this and so does my team.<\/p>\n<p>I am so proud to be part of an amazing international team. We are making great progress in South Korea and it is magical to meet colleagues from all over the world each year at our international conference. It is a pleasure and it is amazing how much we all have in common even though we come from different continents.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"button red hvr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/en-us\/easyway-stop-smoking\/\">Read more about &#8216;How to Quit Smoking&#8217;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"button red hvr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/en-us\/easyway-stop-vaping\/\">Read more about &#8216;How to Quit Vaping\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"button red hvr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/en-us\/corporate-employee-wellbeing\/\">Read more about &#8216;Our Workplace Programs\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>#QuitSmoking #StopSmoking #BeAddictionFree #AllenCarr #QuitVaping #StopVaping <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"button blue hvr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.co.kr\/\" target=\"_blank\">Visit Allen Carr&#8217;s Easyway South Korea&#8217;s Website<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Working as an Allen Carr facilitator is a joy \u2013 a streak of enlightenment day by day.
