He qualified as an accountant in 1958.Ĭarr finally stopped smoking on 15 July 1983, aged 48, after a visit to a hypnotherapist. Thank you Allen Carr, again.Born in Putney, London, Carr started smoking cigarettes while doing National Service aged 18. And that sums up my relationship with alcohol - a crutch. I read the book twice and last night I happily had my 'last glass of wine.' In doing that I remembered my first bottle of wine at the age of 15 after a friend had dumped me. There is a whole lot of related information on how it makes you feel etc which helps you to think and understand how crap alcohol is actually making you feel.
I noticed my consumption dropped considerably - the book says to drink throughout until you have your last drink. Again with this version, I read it twice. I asked myself what in my life is not serving me and decided it was alcohol. Over the last 10 years, I have steadily put on weight which I cannot budge and is ever increasing. I don't think I have a massive problem with alcohol but it is not serving me.
When I go to the Doctor's I lie when they ask how many glasses a week I drink. I feel like crap due to the 2/3 bottle of wine I drink 4 or 5 times a week. Three weeks later, just as the book said, I thought to myself 'I am free from smoking.' And I have never had a cigarette since or wanted one. I remember it being a bit hard when taking a break at work - work friends smoked and I didn't. I read the book again and I did the ceremony of my last cigarette and I got rid of all the tobacco and ashtrays etc. I read the book and stopped halfway through the book as I still wasn't 100% sure I wanted to give up. When I picked up the book I felt like crap due to smoking but I was addicted and didn't want to give up. Around 2005 I read Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking.
