Changed my Life

I had tried lots of different ways to stop smoking over many years. I’d smoked since I was a teenager and was a committed smoker. But I wanted to stop, look after my health and be a better role model for my family. So I read the Allen Carr book but I got scared.
I found out they ran a face to face seminar and without telling anyone, I attended. I’m so grateful that I did. I smoked my last cigarette there and have NEVER smoked since. I’ve never wanted to smoke since and have been a non smoker for over 4 years.
I’ve saved over £10,000 and feel better now than I ever did. I never did finish that book! Allen Carr’s Easyway changed my life and if I can do it anyone can.

Hi CX, I'm so sorry to hear you didn't enjoy the seminar and I assume this means you didn't have any success afterwards. You will be entitled to free-of-charge (shorter) backup sessions where you will hopefully allow us to put that right. I have no record of your name in our database but please do drop me a line at mail@allencarr.com letting me know where and when you attended and we'll be able to give you some options for support. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Kind regards, Sue, Allen Carr's Easyway Customer Services

I am now a non smoker

I attended a seminar in person and was put at ease from the very moment I arrived there.

Within an hour or two of the 5 hours session I already wanted to throw my vape away. Rather than will power, the session basically outlines the fact that smoking/vaping has never been enjoyable and makes you a slave to nicotine. It's obviously a lot more nuanced than that, and I'm definitely not doing it justice by summarising it in that way - all I can say is I'm cured. I don't feel like I'm missing out by not smoking; it's the exact opposite, in fact.

If you're open minded and truly listen and take stock of everything in the seminar, including writing down the reasons you're quitting on the day of the session to remind yourself, I'm positive you will succeed. You'll be happier and healthier, and you wont be spending a large chunk of money on something you don't really enjoy doing.

A massive, massive recommend.

Highly recommend the book.

Smoked for 17 years. Tried patches, gum, mints, champix, vaping and willpower. Reading this book trumps them all. As it said, I continued to smoke while reading the book and as I did, smoking became more pointless and disgusting. By the end of the book it was like a switch had been flipped in me and I was a non smoker. The book gives you all the knowledge you need to succeed in not smoking, whilst at the same time making it so easy and enjoyable.

I succeeded to quit smoking after 5 years,
I’m still a young smoker. I’m only 21 but thanks god i red this book early and quited before it’s too late.
The method is about to convince u that there is 0 advantage in smoking and every reason u may think about is only an illusion so it helps u to think more rationaly when u think of smoking a cigarette so u win that battle in ur mind .

The easy way to quit!

I‘ve been a regular smoker for about 7 years of my life. Sometimes smoking more (up to 2 packs a day) sometimes less (up to half a pack a day). After freeing myself from various addictions (Drugs such as Cocaine, Speed, Mdma, Marihuana, etc. / Medicine such as opioids and alcohol of all sorts) Smoking was my final and worst addiction i never thought i could get rid of. This book helped me and opened my eyes. It truly is the EASY WAY to stop smoking and definitely the best (for me) out there. If you wish to quit, do yourself the favor: Buy the book, follow all the given instructions and be free forever!!

Read if you want to quit!

This is one of the best books I have ever read, actually I listened to it on Audible and included at the end is a brief hypnotherapy session. I quit drinking because of Allen’s Quit Drinking without Willpower. He discusses why people become addicted and how alcohol really does nothing but make you feel worse because of the addiction. He refers to alcohol as a poison and that really hit home with me. Every time I see alcohol, I remember the not so great things that happened to me while drinking, like embarrassing moments or the terrible hangovers, the weight gain, etc. I think poison. I could have saved my mind and body from so many years of alcohol poisoning if only I had found this book sooner. The social media likes to encourage drinking with the commercials of movie stars and beautiful people drinking but it’s a funny thing how we never question when we see the drunken actress getting arrested for intoxication or the famous singer falling down on stage or canceling his show because he was too drunk to perform. Allen helps you to see the poison in alcohol. Thank you Mr. Carr for your legacy of helping people long past your time and for the people that are continuing your work!

I would positively recommend Allen Carr Easyway - online sessions, texts to support, great ideas to maintain / refrain from being tied to smoking habits. Helps you get away from the smoking trap. Continuing ideas given freely.
I was very lucky to have been put forward by NHS to stop smoking, so was free for me. It may seem an expensive course, but weighing up cost of smoking against living a smoke free lifestyle the cost is definitely worth every penny!

It really does work!

I read Allen Carr's book some years ago, but it didn't work, and I didn't stop smoking. However, upon a friend's recommendation, I booked a stop smoking seminar in person at their London clinic. I am amazed at how well it worked, after having been a smoker for so many years. I am not sure what they do, or how they do it, but when you walk out of there, your cravings have stopped. Your brain needs to get used to the change, but the physical cravings just seem to disappear. I'd highly recommend anyone who's having difficulty stopping smoking to book a session. My only regret is not having booked a session years ago, as I already knew about their seminars, but didn't attend until a friend recommended it. I will also say that I recommended it to a friend's boyfriend, and he never smoked again after the seminar either.

Ineffective online session

I attended an online session, which, unfortunately, was completely ineffective for me. I have attended the centre in person before, and it worked fantastically well. I was told that the session I wanted to attend was no longer face-to-face but that the online sessions were equally as effective. This just is not true. I have wasted considerable money and feel ripped off, truth be told. In my opinion, these sessions only work face-to-face.

Hi Yasmin. I'm so sorry to hear you haven't found this particular seminar helpful, especially as your other seminars have been so life-changing.
It's such a shame you haven't got in touch since your seminar back in November - we could have helped sooner. Please do contact the reception team on mail@allencarr.com and they'll be able to offer you support and find out what's gone wrong. It's sad that you've said you feel ripped off without giving us an opportunity to help so hopefully we'll hear from you soon.
We've been conducting online sessions via Zoom for all addictions for years now (pre-covid) and we are confident they are as effective. But in any case, please do get in touch and we'll be delighted to provide further support. Very best wishes from Customer Services at Allen Carr's Easyway Head Office

Non- smoker for 14 years and…

Non- smoker for 14 years and teetotaller for 3 months thanks to the wonderful Allen Carr method!
This is an excellent method that works because it removes phycological dependency and works with your triggers (may well be the only one that works if you ask me!)
I gave up smoking by reading AC's book 14 years ago. All it took was strong determination to read the book with my utmost attention, rereading paragraphs as necessary, until the content was super clear and the book was finished. It worked! I haven't had any urge to smoke since and haven't felt like I have missed out on anything at all. I have since gave up drinking by taking 2 seminars at AC's clinic in London. I found that quitting smoking was easier but quitting drinking is by all means possible as well! Several friends of mine gave up smoking by reading the book too.
I am forever grateful to Allen Carr and wonderful people who work there.

Today will be 3 years since I smoked my last cigarette the day after finishing reading the easy way to not smoking. I never ever realized that it was the same as a drug. Because I had quit smoking twice before for two weeks each time.then I would tell myself that it was ok to just smoke one cigarette. No-No-No that one led to a pack a day or more 😞that little monster in my stomach that kept wanting to to smoke just 1 has been laid to rest. I’ll Always remember after reading The Easy Way To Stop Smoking That I Can’t Just Smoke One Cigarette Never Ever Again and after 3 years I don’t even think about smoking period. I WANT TO THANK YOU MR. ALLEN CARR FOR SAVING MY LIFE 🤗😉😊😊

I read the easy way to stop smoking back in 2002 after trying numerous quit smoking 'remedies' such as patches, etc. It was the only thing I can say got me off the cigs. 20 years on and I haven't
gone near a cigarette all that time. Brilliant book!

Con artists!!

Con artists!!

They say you get a refund but actually don’t!!

Because I postponed an appointment by 2 days, apparently I don’t qualify even though I completed the course in full. This is ridiculous and quite simply a way out for them not to issue a refund.

Background - I booked another follow up seminar because the 1st 2 seminars didn’t work (shock/horror) and I had to move the appointment to another day. I gave them plenty of notice and the lady was happy to move the meeting. Not once did she mention this would invalidate my right to full refund!

This is a scam and the amount of people who have to return, attend follow ups is A LOT and the 10% success rate from what I can see is a load hog wash.

BEWARE - Do not use, do not fork out your hard earned money

Follow up to the reply from Allen Carr

No one can tell me how postponing my seminar by 2 days affects the effectiveness of the course. I attended 3 meetings within 3 months as prescribed and it didn’t work, simple!

They are a ridiculous bunch of cowboys who don’t offer a free refund, just say they do!

I am very sorry to hear that you did not stop smoking after your sessions Ben and also failed to qualify for the Money Back Guarantee. However, we do require clients to attend 3 sessions in 3 months without cancelling, postponing, or failing to attend for any appointments to qualify for a refund.

Our guarantee is displayed on our website, included in information packs, and you would have had the guarantee explained to you (if you enquired about it) when you booked your 1st session. We also issue a copy of the guarantee when clients attend their 1st session.

Unfortunately you cancelled/postponed the appointment you booked for 21/11/2022 and this invalidated your guarantee.

I am sure that this is not the reply you will have wished for and I hope that it is some consolation that I offer you a further opportunity to attend a free of charge back up session (to be taken within 12 months of your 1st session).

Sometimes it just takes an extra session for the method to click for someone so I would encourage you to attend that extra back up session (even if you remain very sceptical).

If you would like to make an appointment please do contact us at receptionteam@allencarr.com

It WILL change your Life!

I started reading Allen Carr's Easy way to Stop Smoking on 19 Nov 2022 and finished the book on 20 Nov 2022 10:00am. I have never been so excited to extinguish that cigarette, that final cigarette! No willpower was needed then and to this day, no cravings at all, no mood swings because you want that cigarette, the desire to smoke has vanished as by some miracle! If ever you wanted to quit and felt you couldn't, read this book! You will not be sorry and you have absolutely nothing to lose! but everything to gain! You can do it!

Waste of money…

I did the sugar and weight loss live seminar and it didn’t work for me. I consider this to have been a massive waste of money and I’m disappointed with the result of not getting a refund when requested and they have completely ignored my last email. Lots of empty promises like how you will “feel enlightened” and “no will power required” neither of which I experienced. Boring scripted seminar, just being talked at for 8 hours I had to keep standing up to stop me from falling asleep. They basically say you are supposed to eat mostly fruits, vegetable, nuts and seeds with some meat, cheese, wholegrains. But no bread, pasta, rice and they are adamant this isn’t a diet :/ found the customer service to be rude and unwilling to take responsibility for misleading the aim of the seminar which according to their website was to cut out hight sugar items (cakes, chocolates, sweets etc). Overall disappointing experience.

We’re so sorry that you found the seminar disappointing Sophia – it is such a shame, especially as the other attendees found it both enjoyable and effective.
I’m aware you originally booked on the recommendation of a friend so I can imagine how that must be doubly disappointing for you.

As you know, our customer services team have already replied to your emails in full and we strongly refute your comments –
• our website is extremely clear that the seminar aims to help clients to cut out both bad sugar and bad carbs
• in your personal communication with us before booking, it was also made extremely clear that the aim is to get you free of “refined sugars, processed and starchy carbs”
• You didn’t respond to the seminar feedback request on the day and didn’t mention any dissatisfaction with the seminar presentation itself until 10 days afterwards.
• I understand that you are disappointed with failing to achieve the results you wished for and can confirm that we have offered further support and advice following the seminar as well as an opportunity to attend the seminar again in the future should you feel ready to do so.
• I have reviewed all communication you have had with our customer service team and can confirm that it was kind, reassuring, and entirely based on the facts. It is clear that at no point whatsoever were the team anything other than polite, supportive, and conciliatory, and in no way rude in spite of your baseless complaints.

In short, you received the service as described and were not interested in the extra post-seminar support that was offered after you complained, and sadly I’m afraid you are not eligible for a refund.
Kind regards

I did for the Allen Carr online course to stop smoking in November 2020 and completed the course over 3 hours at home. I've not smoked since! Absolutely amazing. I never thought it would work without patches or nicotine gum etc but it was amazing and I strongly recommend anyone who wants to stop smoking to do this course. It works!
