Smokers are slaves to their addiction from "summary" of Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking by Allen Carr
Imagine for a moment that you are a slave. A slave to a cruel master who demands your constant attention and obedience. This master is addiction, and for smokers, it rules their every waking moment. It dictates when they can eat, when they can sleep, when they can work. It controls their thoughts, their actions, their very lives. The chains of addiction are invisible but strong. They wrap themselves around the smoker's mind and body, tightening with every puff of smoke. The smoker may try to break free, but addiction whispers in their ear, telling them that they cannot survive without it. It fills them with fear and anxiety, convincing them that they are powerless to resist its hold. Every cigarette smoked is a shackle, binding the smoker ever tighter to their addiction. They may try to quit, but the withdrawal symptoms are like the lash of a whip, driving them back into submission. They may promise themselves that this will be their last cigarette, only to find themselves reaching for another moments later. It is a vicious cycle, a never-ending battle between the smoker and their addiction. The smoker may long for freedom, but they cannot see a way out. They are trapped in a prison of their own making, convinced that there is no escape. But there is a way out. By understanding the true nature of their addiction, the smoker can break free from its grip. They can see that they are not truly dependent on cigarettes, but that cigarettes have deceived them into thinking so. They can see that they are not slaves, but free individuals with the power to choose a different path. By facing their addiction head-on, by confronting the lies and illusions that it has woven around them, the smoker can finally break free. They can see that they are not weak or helpless, but strong and capable of overcoming any obstacle. They can reclaim their lives and their freedom, leaving behind the chains of addiction once and for all.
