It\u2019s actually three years since she quit but she looks back on her life as a smoker and her final and successful attempt to quit using Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway. She describes how despite an \u201cunfounded but avowed hatred\u201d of self-help books she eventually sat down and read Allen Carr&#8217;s Easy Way to Quit Smoking after it was gifted to her by her mother (who incidentally used to call her &#8216;Fag Ash Lil\u2019).<br><br>Paisley goes on to describe her transformation from understandable sceptic to complete freedom \u201cI sat down one morning to read it, muttering under my breath that it was a complete waste of my incredibly precious time, and didn&#8217;t look up until the evening when I&#8217;d devoured the entire thing. Instantly, I knew I&#8217;d never smoke again.\u201d<br><br>It\u2019s such as shame that such a heart-warming story of success using Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway should also feature advice from a pharmacy \u201cQuit-smoking Specialist\u201d that is almost guaranteed to ensure that anyone following it fails to quit smoking.\nThat aside it\u2019s a great, sometimes irreverent, piece on one person\u2019s escape to freedom and their gratitude for Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway to Quit Smoking.<br><br>Commenting on some of the products that the pharmacy specialist recommended Paisley is effusive \u201cSome people bang on about e-cigs, patches, gum and all that b***ocks, but for me it had to be cold turkey. I just couldn&#8217;t get on board with replacing one dumb addiction with another.\u201d<br><br>John Dicey, Worldwide CEO &amp; Senior Facilitator, Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway agrees \u201cIt\u2019s so fabulous to hear that Paisley became a happy non-smoker using Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway to Quit Smoking and there is no doubt that following advice from people like Lloyds Pharmacies and the NHS is completely counter-productive as it is entirely inconsistent with Allen Carr\u2019s method. It\u2019s essential that people using the method follow Allen\u2019s instructions \u2018to the letter\u2019 and that means ignoring anything that conflicts with it. You really don\u2019t need to use any nicotine patches, gum, or e-cigarettes and doing so will most likely ensure that you stay trapped rather than enjoy freedom as Paisley has.\u201d<br><br>For anyone who feels that they\u2019re never going to be able to quit smoking Paisley sums things up perfectly \u201cIf this Fag Ash Lil can do it, anyone can.\u201d<br><br><a class=\"button red hvr\"
