It was like my best friend. My precious. Everything I did revolved around smoking. Where I went, who I went with, when I left, the mood I was in.\u201d<\/h2>\n<p><em>John Dicey, Worldwide CEO &amp; Senior Facilitator, Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway, interviews <strong>Natalie Clays<\/strong>, Allen Carr&#8217;s Easyway to Quit Smoking Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, &amp; Canberra, Australia<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>John: Tell me how you started smoking?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Natalie: There I was, fifteen years old, hiding in the bushes at school about to try my first cigarette. It was naughty, it was cool, it was grown up, it was rebellious \u2013 it felt so exciting!<\/p>\n<p>Only it wasn\u2019t. It tasted disgusting, made me cough and I almost threw up. Ugh, what was all the fuss about? I thought maybe I wasn\u2019t doing it properly\u2026so I persevered.<\/p>\n<p>And so began my twenty-year love\/hate affair with cigarettes.<\/p>\n<p>It started out as one a day at lunchtime bought with my lunch money or stolen from my Dad\u2019s packet (yep, smoking made me dishonest), but soon crept up to an extra one here and there. One became two became five became ten and before I knew it I was on a pack a day.<\/p>\n<p>I honestly thought I loved it. It was like my best friend. My precious. Everything I did revolved around smoking. Where I went, who I went with, when I left, the mood I was in.<\/p>\n<p><strong>John: Did you make many attempts to quit smoking? When did you realise you had a real problem?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Natalie: I remember going on a first date with a guy I\u2019d liked for ages. He didn\u2019t know I was a smoker. The dishonest part of me had lied about that. We had a wonderful evening, I was completely besotted\u2026and then made my excuses to leave early so that I could sneak in a crafty fag.<\/p>\n<p>It was a real wake up call. I\u2019d put a cigarette before a possible relationship. Okay, time to quit.<\/p>\n<p>I tried everything to quit.<\/p>\n<p>I tried patches maybe a dozen times; but a patch became something I\u2019d wear when I wasn\u2019t allowed to smoke, like on a flight for example. As soon as we landed it was torn off and a cancer stick shoved in my mouth. Or sometimes I\u2019d even smoke whilst wearing a patch, just to get a double hit.<\/p>\n<p>I went to see a hypnotherapist (actually I went to see three \u2013 I was desperate) and every single time I\u2019d walk out feeling positive and then light up a few hours later.<\/p>\n<p>I tried nicotine gum, inhalers, needles, lasers, lozenges, herbal cigarettes and some crazy tablets that made me feel even more depressed, but nothing helped me to quit. Every time I tried to quit I just felt so empty and couldn\u2019t quit thinking about smoking. I decided that I\u2019d prefer to be a smoker and happy, rather than miserable and deprived and not allowed to smoke.<\/p>\n<p><strong>John: So how did you hear about Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Natalie: A friend told me about Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway. She said \u201cIt\u2019s amazing,\u201d, as I puffed away in front of her, envying her ability to drink a glass of wine without it bothering her that she wasn\u2019t smoking. I had tried everything else, what did I have to lose?<\/p>\n<p>I was very nervous when I arrived at the seminar on 21st June 2003. What if it doesn\u2019t work? Will I be one of their failures? What if it does work? I\u2019ll never be able to smoke again!!<\/p>\n<p>Five hours later I walked out feeling&#8230;feeling\u2026I didn\u2019t know how I felt. Some of the others in my group that day had an epiphany, but I didn\u2019t. I didn\u2019t really feel any different.<\/p>\n<p>So I waited to see what would happen next; but nothing happened. No epiphany, no light bulb moment, no elation \u2013 but equally, no cravings, no awful withdrawals, no anxiety and most importantly, no cigarettes. I just wasn\u2019t a smoker anymore. And it truly was that easy.<\/p>\n<p>The days, weeks and then months went by and still no cigarettes. I still thought about smoking, but rather than in the desperate, longing way that it used to be, now it was in a \u201cOh yeah, I used to do that\u201d indifferent kind of way. I just wasn\u2019t bothered.<\/p>\n<p>Actually if I\u2019m really honest, I felt sorry for smokers. I could see the panic in their eyes if they were running low on cigarettes and hear them making the same excuses that I used to make. Looking tired and gray, coughing and wheezing, but worse than that was the mental anguish; the worry, the anxiety, the stress, the guilt. The control the drug had over them. Phew, thank goodness that wasn\u2019t me anymore.<\/p>\n<p><strong>John: How did you come to join the organisation?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Natalie: Three months after attending my seminar with zero smokes and virtually no cravings, I contacted the Allen Carr facilitator who had saved my life. It had been so easy for me to quit this way that I wanted to get involved and share Allen Carr\u2019s message.<\/p>\n<p>On 2nd July 2005, after a long and arduous slog of recruitment and training, I ran my very first Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway seminar as a facilitator.<\/p>\n<p>Nervous and apprehensive at the start\u2026but five hours later my first recruits and I left feeling relieved and exhilarated.<\/p>\n<p><strong>John: How have you enjoyed being an Allen Carr Facilitator?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Natalie: Eleven years and thousands of happy non-smokers later, I still feel excited about running the sessions. Nervous, no. Happy, excited and privileged, yes.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from my Allen Carr colleagues I\u2019m the only person I know who looks forward to going to work on a Monday morning. I would honestly carry on doing the same job even if I won the lottery. I\u2019m as excited and enthusiastic about my work eleven years later as I was on day one.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s awesome being an Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway to Quit Smoking facilitator and every day I\u2019m grateful that I was set free of smoking and am able to help others to freedom myself.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s wonderful to be part of the happy, fun, super-committed global Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway family.<\/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
