Rhea Butcher recommends Allen Carr’s Easyway

It is wonderful to hear that Rhea Butcher has stopped smoking and drinking using Allen Carr’s Easyway.

In her own words “I smoked for 16 years quit when I was 28….. with Allen Carr’s Easyway. Totally changed my mindset.

Today is 6 years smoke free and 4 years alcohol free. 2:06 PM – 1 May 2017.”

Congratulations Rhea.
