Some smokers who want to find out how to quit smoking find it really hard to imagine that it is possible to quit smoking easily as opposed to battling to quit smoking and feeling miserable. In looking for a way to quit smoking it can often be inspiring for them to hear how our team around the world has been brought together. This is the next installment in a series of features that look at the journeys taken by members of Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway To Quit Smoking Facilitator team; from being some of the most prolific smokers on the planet to becoming happy non-smokers and world-leaders in the field of stopping smoking.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kim Bennett, Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway Bucks, Milton Keynes, Stevenage, and Cambridge<\/strong> writes:<\/p>\n<p>I \u2018gave up\u2019 smoking once for 6 months when I was 30 (14 years ago).<br>\nI say \u2018gave up\u2019 advisedly. I also \u2018gave up\u2019 sugar, salt, alcohol and wheat at the same time. One of my friends had died very unexpectedly in her sleep. She was only 34 and it saddened and terrified me. She was a hard drinking, hard smoking type and I thought that I\u2019d been given a warning so I gave everything up.<\/p>\n<p>We all know the problem with \u2018quitting\u2019 though. The moment you start to think that something is \u201cforbidden\u201d or \u201cnot allowed\u201d it becomes your obsession, your desire, your true love, your one and only\u2026 Well, I had 5 of them going on! But, of course, the number one \u2018sacrifice\u2019 that I made was smoking. Oh how I longed to be a smoker again. Smoking made my life so much better (I kept telling myself), my life is more stressed without cigarettes (I was so sure it was true), I can\u2019t concentrate without them (it seemed that way), I can\u2019t relax properly (or so it seemed) and I sure as hell can\u2019t have any fun unless I\u2019m smoking (bearing in mind that I had pretty much cut any form of enjoyment entirely out of my life)\u2026..<\/p>\n<p>I hadn\u2019t smoked for 6 months and it had been hell \u2013 but I was so sure I had got it cracked \u2013 I thought I could get away with \u201cjust one\u201d. I thought \u201cIt\u2019ll be fine. I won\u2019t get hooked again. I\u2019m in control. I\u2019ll just have one from time to time. When I\u2019m out. Or when I\u2019m stressed. Okay, well sometimes I\u2019ll have two. Or three. Oh, go on then I\u2019ll have a packet of ten\u2026..\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward 17 years and I\u2019m smoking 40 a day and hating every minute of it. Incidentally, the sugar, salt, alcohol and wheat all came back into my life once I\u2019d started smoking again. Funny that.<\/p>\n<p>Did it relieve my stress, help me concentrate or relax? No, but I\u2019d convinced myself that it did and I cannot even begin to describe the massive and crushing disappointment when I had that first puff of that first cigarette and realised the lie. I had lied to myself and once again smoking had lied to me and I\u2019d been sucked in. It tasted disgusting. Truly disgusting.<\/p>\n<p>I never thought I\u2019d be free of it. I certainly couldn\u2019t put myself through the pain of stopping again using my (now non-existent) willpower. I was one of those people who said that they enjoyed smoking because the truth was that I didn\u2019t think that I could quit and I had to make it look as though it was my decision to smoke. But of course, I wasn\u2019t in control. Smoking controlled me \u2013 made me worry about my health, hate the smell of my clothes, worry about the smell of my breath, embarrass me about the stains on my fingers and strip me of the ability to save money.<\/p>\n<p>My best friend, Kate, sent me the Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway to Quit Smoking book because a mutual friend of ours had quitted by reading it. I was really not happy that she\u2019d sent it to me. But I read it to get her off my back. I didn\u2019t quit smoking and I was gutted\u2026. But a process had started in my head. I realised that everything in the book was true, so I\u2019d just missed something. Our friend had quitted and so could I. So I took myself off to Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway To Quit Smoking Center in Raynes Park, London, in August 2003.<\/p>\n<p>I haven\u2019t smoked since!<\/p>\n<p>This is remarkable. Why? Because I didn\u2019t miss it, had no desire for it, no longer thought that it was a sacrifice, no longer believed that it relieved my stress, helped me concentrate or helped me relax. In fact I truly understood that the reverse was true. So, if it didn\u2019t do any of those things why on earth was I doing it and what was enjoyable about it? Nothing! And so if there was nothing to miss why would I have \u2018cravings\u2019 or find it difficult? I wouldn\u2019t \u2013 and didn\u2019t! I had two questions pinging round my head:<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s the point in smoking\u2026. Errrrm\u2026 None<br>\nHow will it benefit my life in this moment if I have a cigarette right now?\u2026 Errm\u2026 It won\u2019t.<br>\nRight. So I didn\u2019t bother. And haven\u2019t ever since.<\/p>\n<p>I made the world\u2019s biggest nuisance of myself with the Allen Carr Head Office so that I could get an interview to become a facilitator. After all, if I could quit smoking then anyone could.<br>\nI\u2019ve been a facilitator now for 7 years. I still get a thrill when I leave sessions and know that my clients have \u2018got it\u2019. What a gift to both give and receive.<\/p>\n<p>Grateful doesn\u2019t even begin to cover it\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026..<\/p>\n<p>Kim Bennett runs Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway quit smoking seminars in Aylesbury, Cambridge, High Wycombe,Oxford, Milton Keynes, and Stevenage.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about how to get help to quit smoking with Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway To Quit Smoking Clinics and how to quit smoking easily rather than feeling like you have to quit smoking (and feel deprived) get in touch with your nearest quit smoking center by clicking on your country\u2019s flag at the top of this page.<\/p>\n<p>Did you find it easy to quit smoking rather than feeling like you had to quit smoking or sacrifice something?
