About this deal

In 2021, Allen Carr's Easyway assisted the World Health Organisation's year-long global campaign for World No Tobacco Day 2021. [11] Personal life and death [ edit ]

Allen Carr's Easyway is a fundamentally different approach to recovery than conventional substance recovery programs. As opposed to most other methods, Carr's program works without the use of willpower (hence, Easyway). Developed in his first book, Easy Way to Stop Smoking, Carr's approach helps people quit their addictions by getting them to challenge their assumptions of benefit. The method is simple: realize the ugly truth about the nature of your problem and deliberately undo your conditioning toward it. This approach works by changing one's desire, not by changing one's behavior toward the desire. As one learns more about their addiction, their internal cost-benefit equation regarding it changes. When what was once seen as fun and pleasure is now seen as dangerous and toxic, avoiding the behavior is effortless. In contrast to willpower techniques (various types of forced abstention techniques), which logically and inevitably entail an internal, psychological conflict between "I want" and "I shouldn't," Easyway doesn't involve any conflict at all. It is a method of destroying the basis for "I want" so that all that remains is a sober view of the object of the addiction and "I shouldn't" wins by default. His approach isn't unlike some types of CBT. The worry that withdrawal is difficult and unpleasant can create a tremendous fear of stopping drinking for anyone, but for most people withdrawal is not at all unpleasant or as bad as people fear.

Final Thoughts

Most drinkers can go a few days without a drink with no real discomfort – particularly if they know they can have one again soon. Some people do go through a little discomfort – perhaps becoming a little jittery or having a few sweats for a couple of days. So what? They’ll be the happiest days of your life. You have a horrific disease and you’ll have found the cure. Frings, Daniel; Albery, Ian P.; Moss, Antony C.; Brunger, Helen; Burghelea, Meda; White, Sarah; Wood, Kerry V. (2020). "Comparison of Allen Carr's Easyway programme with a specialist behavioural and pharmacological smoking cessation support service: a randomized controlled trial". Addiction. Alan Carr. 115 (5): 977–985. doi: 10.1111/add.14897. PMC 7186816. PMID 31968400. S2CID 210866371. Alcohol withdrawal varies according to a individual’s size, overall health, constitution, degree of tolerance, the severity and duration of alcohol abuse, and the presence of any co-occurring medical or psychiatric conditions but alcohol leaves the body at an average rate of one unit per hour.

Carr also wrote a number of other how-to books on subjects such as losing weight, stopping alcohol consumption, and overcoming the fear of flying. Along with his close friends, protégés, & co-authors Robin Hayley (chairman, Allen Carr's Easyway) & John C. Dicey (Global CEO & Senior Allen Carr's Easyway Therapist), he wrote books dealing with gambling, debt/junk-spending, sugar addiction, emotional eating, mindfulness, tech/smartphone addiction, caffeine addiction, vaping/JUUL with Online Video Programmes handling smoking, vaping/JUUL, alcohol, cocaine, cannabis, sugar & carb addiction, emotional eating, gambling, caffeine addiction, fear of flying, and mindfulness. In 2020, it was estimated that Allen Carr's Easyway method had helped more than 50 million people worldwide. [9] [10] Even though the version of the book I read was outdated, it was still incredibly valuable to me during that time. It helped me to rationalize my addiction and to see alcohol for what it really is - a toxic liquid that provides no real benefits. Since becoming sober, I have found that sobriety has given me everything that drugs and alcohol promised but never actually delivered in the long term.

In other words, if they still believe alcohol is a crutch and a pleasure that they must resist for the rest of their lives, it creates an awful tug-of-war in their mind: on the one hand they want to drink, while on the other they know that if they do drink it will destroy them. This article aims to provide an overview of alcohol withdrawal, including its causes, timeline, duration, preventive measures, and available treatment options.

Conventional wisdom asserts that alcohol withdrawal is a complex and potentially dangerous condition that occurs when individuals abruptly stop or significantly reduce their alcohol consumption after a prolonged period of heavy drinking. What we are saying is that most of what people mistake for the physical withdrawal is in fact caused by the mind. Beyond the value of Easyway as a whole (which deserves 5 stars) and its application to alcohol addiction, I found Quit Drinking to be a little too dogmatic. Carr's assertions that the only benefit from alcohol is that it satisfies a prior craving for alcohol (created by the unease of detoxing the previous drink), that any benefit to alcohol is merely perceived and not real (because the terrifying prospect of chemical addiction forces one to rationalize their enjoyment of alcohol), and that all of alcohol's "virtues" are false is too strong a claim to make. Alcohol has many terrible effects, but it does have a few true non-circular benefits. For example, alcohol is known to temporarily reduce self-consciousness and social anxiety. Carr himself admits alcohol is useful as an antiseptic and anesthetic. These facts undermine Carr's message in Quit Drinking - which sometimes can take an aggressive tone - but not the Easyway method. I am not sure I will become a lifelong nondrinker, but reading Quit Drinking destroyed almost all of alcohol's appeal to me.

Normally inhibited people don’t become more interesting when they are inebriated; on the contrary they become overemotional, repetitive, incoherent, and boring. It wouldn’t be so bad if the inhibited person felt better for it, but they don’t; they are in a stupor and you cannot appreciate a situation unless you have your senses to appreciate it with. - I disagree with that I'm afraid. I have a close acquaintance in fact, with whom we used to get along with just fine, until she gave up drinking completely after her pregnancy 8 years ago. Well, suffice it to say, both me and my husband, as well as her bridesmaid, happen to agree that she was much more interesting before she stopped drinking, as she's lost all her fun and became very uptight and boring since then.

His contention was that fear of "giving up" is what causes the majority of smokers to continue smoking, thereby necessitating the smoker's perpetuation of the illusion of genuine enjoyment as a moral justification of the inherent absurdity of smoking in the face of overwhelming medical and scientific evidence of its dangers. Instead, he encourages smokers to think of the act of quitting, not as giving up, but as "escaping". At Allen Carr Clinics during stop-smoking sessions, smokers are allowed to continue smoking while their doubts and fears are removed, with the aim of encouraging and developing the mindset of a non-smoker before the final cigarette is extinguished. A further reason for allowing smokers to smoke while undergoing counselling is Carr's belief that it is more difficult to convince a smoker to stop until they understand the mechanism of "the nicotine trap". This is because their attention is diminished while they continue to believe it is traumatic and extremely difficult to quit and continue to maintain the belief that they are dependent on nicotine. In fact you don’t even have to wait for the first sip: the discomfort starts to subside on the way to the pub! They don’t disappear when the person takes a drink; they disappear when they decide to take a drink.
