Just finished his book on emotional eating. The method really works for any form of addiction.

To all the haters in the comments...Read the book. It does work.

[j-life]

I read the book about quitting drinking after I heard Nikki talk about iron Rogan. I was pretty pumped for awhile, then I feel off the wagon.

I read the book based on Nikki’s appearance on Rogan. It’s a good book based on what Nikki said. I am sceptical about withdrawal symptoms because people have died specifically from alcohol withdrawal

Allen carr. For those comments below. U can find the book at Waterstones. Or w.h Smith.

Quitting a substance or behaviour takes time. Celebrate small victories & take time to reflect on any progress made.

One of the things that hit home during my 3 month stay in rehab was a definition of the term relapse.
- A lapse is a mistake - short term, one-off accident in a moment of weakness. Use it, analyze it, and utilize that learning experience to prolong your sobriety even further next time.
- relapse is total regression to past behaviour. relapse is giving up.
Forgive yourself for lapsing, and use it as ammo to prevent relapse.

Show me a book to give up Xanax. Totally different animal. 9 years and can’t get off.

Ik she's saying in the grand picture nicotine is less bad than other things but some people say "opioid withdrawal is like the flu" so people understate alot of the reality for certain individuals as well. Apparently she didn't get any withdrawal from drinking either so maybe she's lucky but as long as you're not a booze bag it's usually more mental

[Reps]

Quitting nicotine is silly compared to opioids/alcohol. Everyone has there own perspective on it but also opioids and true alcoholism addictions are fucking incredibly hard and painful journey to quit, downplaying it is frustrating. Idk

[crybaby]

I do agree that cigarettes have been the one drug that's been the least addictive to me.

Like having to stop or cut back on opiates or benzos- so hard.

ciggs, eh. It's however hard your mind makes it bc your muscles ain't gonna hurt.

[Allan-zxyy]

I've read the book 6 times. Doesn't work.

My dad won’t quit smoking…I’m an addict/alcoholic clean and sober from cocaine, heroin, and liquor for 2.5 years. He still asks me to run get him a pack of cigarettes and I say can you go get me an 8 ball and a half gallon then he shuts up

[freshfreenlovinit]

I read Allen Carr''s book easy way to stop smoking even though I didn't smoke and I found it fascinating. I had only picked it up in the store to confirm it had to be rubbish but changed my mind very quickly.
It inspired me to write some poems about it which I sent to Allen Carr when he was alive. Here is an example.

The Worstest One

The strongest, most powerful worstest fear of all
Is the one where what you fear is actually nothing at all
The fear that is generated out of thin air
Is the one of which you must be the most beware

For if you don't know what it is, that leaves you trembling weak
How can you overcome it, you don't know where it sleeps
Your enemy is invisible, elusive and adept
At not allowing you, to know where it is kept

You search in every corner, every nook and cranny
But not a trace do you find, for it is far too canny
You cannot get a single glimpse, but you certainly feel its power
It has you where it wants you, in a perpetual cower

There must be a way of conquering this evil freak
Of stopping it from causing all the havoc that it wreaks
And if you are so lucky as to find out what it is
Can you please, please tell me, you really are a whiz

[drmorqWarrenProject]

Nicotine is hard to quit because its so available... If you had to go pick it up at a hardware store next to the bug killer and rat killer... you wouldnt be so stoked to smoke it or chew it... but these pretty packages make it so easy to smoke... Remember it wasnt the government who told you that smoking was a good way to relax... that was the tobacco companies lying thru their teeth.

[loops]

Allan Carr is the best! Don’t question it just do it

[doer]

Can’t find the book can some one spell it I may be typing it incorrectly

[PacificPier]

1. 'Stop Drinking Now'
2. 'Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking'

[CHRISGLASER-NOYUCKYCHIRALITY]

Chris cannot let Nikkers get beaten down. Simple enough?

[outpost]

The book works however if you fall back in to the trap the magic will not work for a second time. Never take another puff.
