Anybody went to Allan Carr to stop smoking in Dublin?? Any feed back
I want to stop smoking badly but I haven't got the power to do it by myself:(
I am about to pay 320 euros for a day in that famous clinic Allan Carr to stop smoking anytime they will book me, asap. I don't want to smoke anymore. I hate smoking but I do need help to stop, I can't do it by myself, sad but true. I have been smoking for about 10 years. What can I do to stop?? Any feedback from this clinic??
Thank you very much, I really apreciate your comments or feedback on this my matter.

i never went to the alan carr retreat but i did meet 2 people who did go who, by the sounds of it anyway, were chronic smokers. since they came away from the weekend course neither have smoked since. i know one of them said that he tried giving up a few times and he seems fairly confident that he wont go back on the fags.

Its easy for an extreamly stubborn fucker like me to say this.Youll get there though.

Heard good things about Allen Carr - basically it goes through all the good reasons to give up smoking until it makes complete sense to give them up:D
I tried lots of times to give up - off them 4 weeks at present:).
Lot of cravings for first 3 days - camomille tea is good to stop them. Also try not to do things that you associate with smoking, e.g., going got a drink, or a cup of coffee, etc.
After a week it is all psychological - if you get a craving, lots of deep breaths, it will be gone in five mins.

24-05-08, 15:21rorymanYou can do anything you put your mind to!
Sexy, there are several ways you can look at it
1/ You are a healthy beautiful woman. Do you want to stay like that, or possibly end up with one of many problems from smoking?
You like nice food and wine? Just imagine being able to really taste it
2/ You protect yourself as much as possible from sexual diseases, do you not?
So apply the same standards to yourself. If a client came to you and said he wanted to do something that would mean putting poisons into your body and get you addicted, you would of course show him the door!
3/Go to a cancer ward, you will see plenty of people who have smoked- morbid I know, but thats the reality
It can be done, I know people who have done it, it just takes will power and desire
I know you have both, I believe you can do it -
24-05-08, 15:59westsideThe whole trick is to.............get the subconsious mind to associate more pain than pleasure with the activity.If this happens then it will be broken.It also helps to have another fall back to fill the obvious void creted on ceasure of the activity.Quote:

True what you say about the cancer ward but believ me some ppl still wont get it because cancer is one of those things "that happens to other ppl".

Best of luck with giving up - I'm sure it will be hard, but having lost someone at a young age to cancer, it will be well worth it.

You say u wish/ want to give up well it must be really want wishing is not good enough
this is a mental thing something to really see if u have character or not because belive
it or not the start is easy u have cravings ok but ure resolve is strong and u expect it
to be difficult so u cope
Its after the initial period when u think u have it beaten that the real battle starts u
think maybe u can have one and u will nearly convince urself it will be ok or
just have one while socialising the temptations are endless i would say it was touch
and go for 6 months then slowly it got easier then one day actually i was driving and
a friend lit up and i suddenly realised i hate theese dirty f*****s of things battle won
It is all about the type of person u are personally i am mild mannered but if i really
decide on something i can be a really stubborn bastard and deffinitely this helped in moments of weakness
IDID IT U CAN DO IT TOO
remember ure name is sexy,u look sexy u are sexy but smoking aint sexy
best of luck naomi

Ill be rooting for u -

29-05-08, 07:20anon361Profile!!
Are you that confident it will work that you have already put NO to being a smoker in your profile, best of luck with it, I would never try and impose my views about smoking on anyone but I am delighted when a person takes it upon themselves to give them up.
Just don't replace them with something else and ruin that perfect figure!! :) (never had the pleasure btw but maybe someday) -
29-05-08, 11:50PatriciaIn fairness, I don't know when Naomi joined E-I, but we only added the smoker preference to the profiles about 6 months ago. If a lady joined before then it defaults to no unless we know otherwise. I won't update Naomi's profile to say yes now as she is giving up!Quote:

In the end I found the patches the easiest way to give up, though I must admit I still go back to smoking nearly every time I have a drink, then I have to give up again! This is better than smoking heavily all the time, but I'd love to give up completely so let us know how Allen Carr goes to you... If it works for you I may be inspired enough to try it again myself. I think whatever method of giving up you choose, the main thing is - YOU HAVE TO REALLY WANT TO GIVE UP - I do when I'm sober, but after a drink I always think "Sod it!" and start smoking again, then I'm addicted again and it takes me a few days of light smoking and patches to ween myself back off the dirty fuckers! If anyone out there has never started smoking - DON'T - It is a filthy nasty business but the hardest habit to break! -
