Nope. Your smoking is your business. But if you're anxious about it, if it's got you hooked deeper than you ever imagined, then you've found the right place. What we are is anti-fear and anti-disability. We are definitely anti-miserable, drawn-out death from smoking.

What is this "method?"

Stop Smoking with Patricia Allison™ starts out by teaching you why smoking is such a beast to kick. It shows you why will power is not a reliable way to keep from smoking. Your body stops wanting nicotine within a week or two after you stop smoking. But your mind tries to get you to smoke again—until you teach it to do something else.

"After smoking 2-1/2 packs a day for 20 years, I wasn't sure I could ever stop. But your program made sense. Now, I am free to enjoy life without having to figure out when and where I can smoke my next cigarette! Thanks." —Sam

This is serious treatment for one of the toughest "drug problems" out there - nicotine addiction. Stop Smoking with Patricia Allison™ cuts straight to the core—the thoughts and feelings that cause you to light up again, months or years after you thought you had quit for good.

"It became instantly apparent that Patricia knew the facts of this addiction and had a method to overcome it. Thank you for so much more than I ever expected." —Shawn

Watch real smokers go through real treatment. You will learn how to successfully stop smoking right along with them. Just stay tuned to the message, and follow Patricia's directions.

"I learned so much about myself and how to take control of my life with the techniques you teach. I have all the things I wanted from becoming an ex-smoker, and so much more. Not only am I alive, but the quality of my life has improved 500 percent. I have freedom I never dreamed of." —Bill

Who is Patricia Allison?

Six years ago, we met a woman whose mission in life is helping smokers. Patricia Allison almost killed herself with cigarettes. She's an uncommon mix; hard-headed and street-smart as well as compassionate and non-judgmental. And, she's good. She can keep a room full of die-hard smokers at attention for hours.

Patricia walks her talk, living her life to help others find the same freedom from nicotine that she enjoys. She doesn't cause the smokers in her audience to squirm with guilt, shame, embarrassment, or even defensiveness. No! They laugh. At her. At themselves. At each other. They groan with self-realization. And, most importantly, they allow themselves to begin to hope that there might be a way out of their nicotine trap, that they don't have to live in fear and anxiety and self-blame.

We knew that Patricia Allison was on to something big. Thousands of smokers had already stopped with her help, but there had to be a way to reach more people, to reach anyone and everyone who wants to stop. So we got her whole program produced on video and put it all together in a video-audio-print-web kit. It only cost a half million dollars, but, hey, now we have Stop Smoking with Patricia Allison™, an affordable, multi-media, personal program for treating nicotine addiction at home. Lots of ex-smokers say we hit a home run.

"It will soon be two years since I became an ex-smoker. As I grew accustomed to my new life, I began to realize that you had given me powerful new ways of thinking that reached far beyond my desire to become a non-smoker." —Stephan

Who's behind StopSmoking.com, and why do you care?

We have lost friends and relatives to smoking. Our friends have lost people who they loved. The sheer number of people in our own circle who have died from smoking-related illness is staggering. They were talented, loving, contributing, wonderful people. In many cases they died horrible deaths—fighting to breathe, trying to smoke on "the other side" of their throats, losing their vision, undergoing operations, amputations, chemotherapy, and being trapped in their beds or wheelchairs. They were all people who lost their ability to do the things they loved. They include mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, grandparents, business associates, homemakers, and teachers. All were lost to nicotine, a drug so powerful that it took everything they had.

Patricia Allison knows how to beat nicotine addiction. As educational publishers, we saw our connection with her as a way to help countless people live lives of health and happiness and dignity and success. Our purpose is to make Patricia's powerful and effective treatment for nicotine addiction affordable and available to as many smokers as possible, so that any smoker who is ready to quit has exactly what s/he needs to stop smoking and never have to go back.

Is this "religious?" Or some kind of 12-step program?

No. This method is not spiritually-based. You don't "admit that you are powerless" or turn it over to a "higher power." This is about you and your cigarettes and your body and your mind and your emotions. It's about learning a simple process—backwards and forwards—before you stop smoking. Then, after you stop, you will use it every time you have an urge to smoke - now, or ten years from now. (Don't worry. Your urges will be far and few between. But, they will surface -- and you will be prepared!)

Can I use this program with nicotine replacement (gum, patch)?

Yes. On your quit day, you remove the patch or stop chewing the gum, and you start handling each desire to smoke by following the program.

What is the success rate?

Patricia personally taught her programs in hospitals and classrooms for 18 years. 60-70% of her clients were still smoke-free one year after treatment.

Is there a "quit day" with this program?

Yes. There are five sessions on video, and you stop smoking at the beginning of the fourth session.

What about withdrawal?

Physical withdrawal from nicotine typically only takes a few days. Ex-smokers are still vulnerable after withdrawal because they still have the thoughts and feelings associated with smoking. Stop Smoking with Patricia Allison™ will teach you how to get your mind working for you so that you never have to relapse again.

Do you have anything for teenagers?

No. This isn't an anti-smoking crusade. Most teenagers who smoke think they can quit whenever they want. They won't know they have a gorilla on their backs until they have tried to quit a couple of times. That's when they will be ready for this program.

How does this program compare to nicotine replacement? Zyban?

Of nearly 9,000 smokers and chewers treated in Patricia Allison's clinics, long-term success rates varied from 60% to 73% (not smoking one year after treatment). This is about ten times better than nicotine replacement—patches, gum—and more than twice as effective as prescription Zyban®.

"I had tried other methods of quitting, but nothing worked. Your insight was what I needed. Your enthusiasm and knowledge is what finally helped me to quit after 25 years. Thank you again." —Judy Hallor, Rapid City, SD

"I was thrilled to hear something sensible and different from anything else I'd ever learned about stopping smoking. Everything she said made sense, was easy to use, and best of all, it worked!" —Vincent Heitkam, San Francisco, CA

What about after I stop? What do I do then?

This is probably the most important question you could ask. Because stopping smoking and staying stopped are two entirely different things—as you probably have found out more than once. Stop Smoking with Patricia Allison™ includes a long-term support program accessible on this web site. It's called Staying Stopped™. Your access code for Staying Stopped™ is included with your kit.

It's important to stay out of this part of the web site until after you have gone through the program. Getting here too soon can cause you to think you know how to work it, even though you don't. It can screw up the process.

"I just wanted to say THANKS!!! I've been smoke free for over seven years! I used to get up at night just to have a cigarette. If I could have smoked in the shower, I would have. Thanks again for the skills to quit such a disgusting drug habit." —John Dyrnes
