Smoking my last ever cigarette

This weekend I went to an Allen Carr Easyway to Stop Smoking clinic in Sheffield. So far on my quest to quit I really haven’t done very well and I’d heard some good things about the Allen Carr book so I thought I would give a session a go.

There were five of us at the clinic, all wanting to stop. The therapist spoke to us about the reasons we smoke and why it’s bad for us and why we don’t really get any good things out of it all.

I started off really hopeful but two hours in I was feeling very sceptical that this was going to work, I didn’t feel any different and was still enjoying smoking in the breaks we were allowed.

We had a bit of hypnotherapy at the end of the session and lay on the floor which was very relaxing and I must say that by the end, when I smoked my last cigarette and threw away my packet and lighter I felt very confident that this was it. I was a non-smoker, and not only that, I was happy that I would never smoke again.

We’ll see...

Have your say
