Allen Carr
Allen Carr (2 September 1934, London – 29 November 2006, Benalmádena) was a British author of books about quitting smoking and other psychological dependencies including alcohol addiction. He quit smoking after 33 years as a hundred-a-day chain smoker.〔Allen Carr, "The Easy Way to Stop Smoking", January 2005〕
==Biography==
London-born Carr started smoking while doing National Service aged 18. He qualified as an accountant in 1958.
Carr finally quit smoking on 15 July 1983, aged 48, after a visit to a hypnotherapist. However, Carr claimed that it wasn't the hypnotherapy itself that enabled him to quit – "I succeeded in spite of and not because of that visit" and "I lit up the moment I left the clinic and made my way home...". There were two key pieces of information that enabled Allen to quit later that day. First, the hypnotherapist told him smoking was "just nicotine addiction", which Allen had never perceived before that moment, i.e. that he was an addict. Second, his son John lent him a medical handbook which explained that the physical withdrawal from nicotine is just like an "empty, insecure feeling".〔''Packing it in the Easy Way'' pp. 110–116, Penguin, 2005〕 He claims that these two realisations crystallised in his mind just how easy it was to stop and so then enabled him to follow an overwhelming desire to explain his method to as many smokers as possible.〔''The Only Way To Stop Smoking Permanently'' page 8, Penguin, 1995〕
