Free from alcohol

I attended the Allen Carr Easyway Seminar for alcohol on the 22nd Feb and have not craved a drink or had one since. No need to define myself as an alcoholic or sit in recovery groups for evermore. I am a happy non-drinker - free to live my life. Highly recommend this approach.

If you don’t try - you won’t know

I booked a course online and had to change the place and venue. I rang the office and they were so helpful and easily changed the booking. I did the course, I was ready to stop smoking, and stopped feeling positive and excited for the smoke free future. I write this review having been a non smoker for over a year now. Not one puff ! What do you have to loose?

Heartfelt Feedback on Today’s Allen Carr Session

I wanted to share my deepest gratitude for today’s session. It was, without exaggeration, life‑changing.

I have read both of Allen Carr’s books on quitting smoking, and they helped me quit before. But like many smokers, I fell into the trap of thinking I was in control and could quit again whenever I wanted. That arrogance pulled me back into addiction, and over time I found myself feeling helpless, disappointed, and trapped once more.

Today changed everything. The session restored the clarity and mindset I needed. It brought me back to the truth of the method, and it reminded me of the freedom I had once experienced. I walked in feeling defeated, and I walked out a non‑smoker.

I want to give special thanks to Debbie Brewer‑West. Her presence, her clarity, and her warmth were extraordinary. It genuinely felt like having Allen himself in the room. She guided us with confidence, compassion, and a deep understanding of the method. Debbie didn’t just deliver a session - she created a space where freedom felt possible again. She arranged the mindset, the atmosphere, and the emotional shift that I needed. I am profoundly grateful to her.

The entire team deserves praise. You are doing remarkable work—life saving work. You treat people with dignity, patience, and respect, and you give them the tools to reclaim their lives. What you do is nothing short of miraculous. You are angels in the fight against addiction.

The session itself was excellent: relaxed, informative, engaging, and incredibly effective. Because I had read the books, I recognised every principle and felt aligned with the method from the start. Some of the other participants were at different stages in their understanding, but I am confident they will succeed because the method works and your team delivers it with such skill and care.

Thank you for giving me back my freedom. Thank you for restoring my confidence. And thank you for the gift - both the literal one and the far greater gift of becoming a non‑smoker again.

With sincere appreciation,
Nikolaos Sotiriadis

Change for good!

Attending the Easy Way seminar has completely shifted the way I think and view my addiction. I've tried various methods in the past with no success, but from attending the seminar, I was actually excited about no longer being a slave to nicotine. I've not smoked since attending and I don't miss it, my lungs and bank account is much more healthier. Have told anyone who will listen how amazing the seminar and book was, plus thanks to my local county council funding it was paid for me. Definitely recommend. Thank you.

Hi Jamie — thank you for taking the time to leave honest feedback, and we’re sorry to hear you found the seminar boring. Our priority is always to help every participant leave free from smoking, and we design the sessions to combine clear explanation of the method with practical mindset shifts. That said, we know people respond differently to delivery styles and pacing. We genuinely appreciate you telling us how you felt — your comments help us improve. We will pass your feedback on to our therapists so they can review how content is presented and explore ways to make future sessions more engaging while keeping the focus on outcomes. Thank you again for your honesty and for giving the seminar a try. The Allen Carr Easyway Team

Rip off I wouldn't recomend

The facitalatores great the money back guarantee a rip off and don't trust the success rating it's made up where they get that figure from is ridiculous trying this method is dangerous they say refund after three months is rubbish you av to go on two more zoom meetings in that period which aren't regular so if you drink after couple months and they don't av enough zoom meetings you don't get refund.this method nearly ruined me.font try it plus id tried the seminar 4 times ,bought the online course twice and numerous books .each time I rang centre I was advertising ced to try again .I feel I was very vulnerable and they try to convince me it worked. Ive lost hundreds of pounds and time I'll never get back .tlstay away from this company .there plenty of help out there try smart recovery that's free and practical and not a load of nonsense .

Dear Tracey,

I’m very sorry you didn’t have success after attending the stop drinking seminar.

Your refund was declined because sadly you didn’t follow the terms – you didn’t qualify because you failed to attend all three seminars as per the terms of the guarantee.
The backup seminars are around 3 hours long and not simply a repeat of the full day seminar. For convenience appointments are available both in-person and online via Zoom, and are scheduled both during the week and at weekends - so it really is very straightforward to finish the programme within the 3 months.

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 initially booked. We also include details of the guarantee in your booking confirmation and the reminder email the day before you attend your first seminar.

We are very proud of offering a Money Back Guarantee and never decline when the simple terms are followed.

We’re sure if you decide to attend the third seminar with an open-mind you can be very successful. In the unlikely event, you don’t stop drinking and you have followed the terms of the guarantee, your fee will be refunded in full.

Kind regards,
Allen Carr's Easyway Customer Service Team

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and that the method didn’t help you achieve freedom. We understand how frustrating that can be, and it’s never our intention for anyone to feel pressured or “brainwashed.” In fact, the method is designed to undo the brainwashing and perceptions surrounding an addiction, the very opposite.

If you’d like, we’d be happy to discuss ways we might support you if you ever decide to try the method again. Your feedback is important to us, and we’d like to help further where possible.

Please do get in touch mail@allencarr.com.

As you attended the programme through your local council, and have now completed the programme, we recommend that you do reach out to your local stop smoking service for free support - they’ll be able to offer ongoing guidance and resources.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and wish you every success in becoming free.

It really does work!!!

I honestly can’t believe that it worked! I was SO nervous and sceptical about going but as it was a free trial I had nothing to lose. It was amazing and I don’t know how it works, but it does!! It will be a year for me in October since I had my last cigarette and I didn’t think I would be able to cope without them but I have. Since I became smoke free I’ve had sad times, stressful times and nights out and have t even thought about reaching for a ciggy and some of my friends smoke. If you’re fed up of the cost, the smell, being told how many places you can’t light up these days, go to Allen Carr’s Easyway to give up smoking. I promise you, you will not regret it!

After 45 years of smoking I'm free!

After 45 years of smoking I still can't believe that one day at a seminar has enabled me to get rid of smoking once and for all. Having been diagnosed with a lifelong condition I knew I had to do it but I didn't want any replacements or ongoing cessation support thy hadn't worked for long before so it had to be all or nothing. The seminar made sense and was well presented as the time passed right up to the end of making the decision to throw everything away and after the sort of hypnotherapy I awoken to a new chapter in my life for the better. 3 months now and I tell everyone about the Allen Carr seminar and how lucky we are that our local authority funds it too!

Best Decision

Having been a smoker on and off for many years I enrolled on the course hoping it would finally set me free and it did.
The reasons and excuses we all have for smoking were completely blown out of the window. I found it fairly easy and although initially still had thoughts of having a cigarette I just told myself no and carried on and the moment passed.
I am 6 months in now and most days don't even think about smoking and am completely enjoying the freedom it gives, the extra time and the extra money.
Thank you all so much for the support I received.

This is the best move I have ever made

This is the best move I have ever made. I smoked for 30 years. I honestly didn't believe this would work, but I had nothing to lose, so I gave it a try.
Not only I haven't had a cigarette since my seminar 3 months ago, but I didn't even crave one.
Now I see other people smoking, and I wonder why they are doing it. It looks weird, and it smells bad.
I'm so happy I'm free from smoking slavery. I have so much more energy, a positive approach to life, and I have just saved over £1000 in 3 months, by not buying cigarettes.
Give it a try! You have nothing to lose and so much to gain!

smoke free

Hi I remain smoke free which to be honest I never thought that this would work, I have been a smoker for over 50 years and to attend your seminar once then to immediately have my last cigarette on that day then no more, with no aids at all ie patches, vapes etc. I don't say it's easy but there is no great craving if I do it only lasts for seconds I go outside take a few deep breaths and it's fine.
I must admit I don't know how it works but it does i went from 60 a day to none I breathe easier, I don't wheeze the difference is incredible I thank you so much

Allen Carr method is true miracle

Dear Allen Carr’s Easyway Team,

I would like to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible gift of freedom I have received through your program. After 35 long years of smoking, I am finally free — and it feels like a miracle.

What made this journey especially powerful for me was listening to the six video sessions presented by Mr. Damian O’Hara. His warm British voice, his clarity, and his genuine passion truly touched my heart and guided me every step of the way. It felt as though he was speaking directly to me, encouraging me, and helping me see the truth about smoking.

I am writing to you from Iran, and I want you to know that your message of hope and freedom crosses every border, every culture, and every language. You are not just helping people quit smoking — you are giving us back our lives, our health, and our happiness.

Please convey my heartfelt thanks to Mr. O’Hara. His words will stay with me forever, and I will always remember this as one of the most meaningful changes in my life.

With love and gratitude,
Shahin

Disappointed but I'm going to give it a 2nd go

I was super hopeful about reading the "how to quit vaping" book. I'm a dual vaper/smoker- so I thought the vaping book would cover all bases.

First of all, he kept referring to the "easyway method" throughout the entire book. It was like he was trying to promote the book I already bought. I kept waiting for "the method" section of the book. Out of an almost 300 page book, there was about 5 pages describing the 'method'. The method is basically "instead of being frustrated you can't have a vape, be happy you quit". That's it, that's the method. It also told you you need to kill the "big monster" (mental addiction)- but doesn't tell you how to do this. Unless I missed a couple of chapters which I definitely didn't..

The book does go into detail about the brainwashing we were subjected to our entire lives, and it breaks down this brainwashing. It also mentions that because nicotine gives you nothing, you won't miss it. "With the easyway method you won't miss nicotine and you won't need willpower".

Unfortunately I'm just finding it to be completely untrue. There IS NO METHOD. Unless I missed something. The method is "it doesn't do anythint for you so you don't want it".

I haven't vaped since reading the book but I have smoked. I'm going to re read the book again, and give it another go. If it works the 2nd time round I'll change my review. But I feel duped as the book had a whole lotta nothing other than "the easyway method will work for you" and then doesn't actually give you a method to go by, other than what I mentioned above.

Dear Anna,
We’re really sorry to hear that the book hasn’t yet lived up to your expectations, though its great you're going to give it another go.
The Easyway method aims to change the way you view smoking/vaping and what you feel both do for you. Removing any desire or dependancy, so that when you stop, you feel happy to do so (rather than missing out in any way). It sounds like something hasn't quite gelled for you and we'd love to provide further support, so that you successful in trying again. We provide free of charge advice on how to try again with the method, so please do get in touch with the team mail@allencarr.com. We'd be happy to help.

20 years of smoking erased in 6 hours

I was so so sceptical, you wouldn't believe, but being a smoker for over 20 years, with multiple failed attempts to quit, I still forced myself to the webinar. The next day after the webinar, I kept gorgetting that I smoked (or wanted a cigarette). Today is 38 days since I am a happy non-smoker. If you try it and fail, you lose nothing really, but oh my word, how much you gain if you do the webinar!
