Do you want to quit smoking? You're not alone; around sixty million people in the US share that goal. But why do we smoke? What other creatures on this planet willingly approach smoke to inhale it? Smoking is not a natural behavior; it's learned. It's something that's forbidden and alluring, something that draws us in. I remember how, before the age of twelve, I had secretly acquired a couple of cigarettes with a friend and experimented with them.
I've spoken with many smokers, and their stories often follow a similar pattern. Smoking is seen as forbidden, so it becomes irresistible. It's simultaneously disgusting and titillating as we break the rules.
Perhaps our friends smoked, or we admired movie stars who did. Peer pressure, and the desire to appear cool or hip, could be motivating factors. Maybe our parents smoked. There are various reasons why we learn to smoke.
We all make a choice to smoke cigarettes. We must learn to tolerate the smell of smoke or perhaps we simply endure it to receive the dose of drugs provided by a cigarette.
Quitting is a good idea, but it comes with side effects. Some are immediate and uncomfortable, while others manifest later: increased lung capacity, improved sense of smell, greater vitality, a sense of pride, and more.
This program approaches addiction and cravings from all angles. We examine the conscious aspects of smoking:
- The financial cost.
- The impact on self-esteem.
- The harm to physical health.
This program also provides various solutions:
- Revisiting the history of smoking from different perspectives.
- Hypnotherapy communicates with the subconscious mind and helps it align with the conscious mind's goal of becoming a non-smoker.
- Practical tools and resources, such as hypnosis CDs or MP3s for daily use, sensory cues, timed reminders, and hypnosis sessions.
- Follow-up support to address any unexpected issues that may arise from the subconscious mind's memories.
Ultimately, this program is designed to help you become a comfortable, confident non-smoker and free yourself from nicotine addiction.
If you ever need assistance or have lingering issues related to quitting smoking, please reach out. While follow-up appointments are infrequent, they can be helpful if subconscious issues resurface. These may have been forgotten by your conscious mind but still affect you. Your well-being and success in your journey to quit smoking are important to us.
