Hypnosis: Quit Smoking for Good!

• Have you tried other methods to stop smoking...only to have them fail?
• Are you ready to succeed this time?
 

"I’d previously used hypnosis to quit smoking a couple of times but I kept relapsing after experiencing excessive weight gain. Recently, Lori’s sessions have provided me with a solutions-focused approach replacing urges with more positive stress-relieving relaxation and a strength-based inner stance that can withstand any difficulty. She’s good! And now I’m on my way to Look Good and Feel Great! In Fact... Every Day, In Every Way, I’m Getting Better and Better!"  Maureen

Adkar Associates study finds 87% Reported Abstinence Using Hypnosis

 Nicotine replacement methods like the patch and gum have less than a 15% success rate, and they come with unwanted side effects and the potential for secondary addictions.  Chantix is causing all sorts of strange side effects.  Hypnosis has NO negative or unwanted side-effects, is completely 100% natural, and multiple session hypnosis has a 67% success rate (some studies show even higher), the highest success rate of any smoking cessation method.

Valuable Information 

What happens after you quit smoking?

Immediately after you stop smoking your body begins to heal. Your sense of smell and taste return. Within a few days, you will notice that you are breathing easier. You will be free from the mess, smell, inconvenience, expense, and dependence of cigarette smoking. Long-range benefits include significantly reduced risks of death from heart disease, stroke, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and several types of cancer.

What Should You Expect after Hypnosis?

Expect a new way of thinking about smoking.  You will have learned different ways of dealing with old patterns of thoughts, beliefs and behavior for living a life free of the chains of cigarettes.  Anchors will be set to change how you react to stressful, bored, and repetitive conditions where smoking was once your problematic solution.  Better choices will easily be made and your new reactions will be more stimulating and life-changing as you live healthier and take care of your mind, body, and stuff once saturated with the smell of smoke.

 Yes! I'm ready to become a permanent happy non-smoker!

According to the American Heart Association:

Cigarette smoking is the most important preventable cause of premature death in the United States. It accounts for more than 440,000 of the more than 2.4 million annual deaths. Cigarette smokers have a higher risk of developing several chronic disorders. These include fatty buildups in arteries, several types of cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (lung problems). Atherosclerosis (buildup of fatty substances in the arteries) is a chief contributor to the high number of deaths from smoking. Many studies detail the evidence that cigarette smoking is a major cause of coronary heart disease, which leads to heart attack.

How does smoking affect coronary heart disease risk?

Cigarette and tobacco smoke, high blood cholesterol, high blood pressure, physical inactivity, obesity and diabetes are the six major independent risk factors for coronary heart disease that you can modify or control. Cigarette smoking is so widespread and significant as a risk factor that the Surgeon General has called it "the leading preventable cause of disease and deaths in the United States."

Cigarette smoking increases the risk of coronary heart disease by itself. When it acts with other factors, it greatly increases risk. Smoking increases blood pressure, decreases exercise tolerance and increases the tendency for blood to clot. Smoking also increases the risk of recurrent coronary heart disease after bypass surgery.

Cigarette smoking is the most important risk factor for young men and women. It produces a greater relative risk in persons under age 50 than in those over 50.

Women who smoke and use oral contraceptives greatly increase their risk of coronary heart disease and stroke compared with nonsmoking women who use oral contraceptives.

Smoking decreases HDL (good) cholesterol.

Weight Gain

Quitting smoking doesn't mean you'll automatically gain weight. And even if you do gain a couple pounds, that's not as important as saving your life... and the lives of others. When people gain weight, it's usually because they start to eat more once they quit smoking. If you watch what you eat and stay physically active, you may not gain at all!

What Should I Eat

Plenty of fruits and vegetables (at least 8–10 servings a day).
Celery, Grapes, Apples are great snacks.
Drink lots of water! Cut back on alcohol, soft drinks (and YES even sugar free ones) and minimize caffeine drinks (coffee and tea-they can cause dehydration)
Sugar Free Gum and Candy

Exercise

Walking and other exercise cause the release of positive thinking chemicals in the brain and improve you mood.
Deep breathing releases stress, tension in muscles and calms you.
It can help reduce your appetite.
It can improve your mood.
It burns calories and can help you lose weight if you take in fewer calories than you use up.
Replace the times you smoked with a positive hand/mouth activity-knit and chew gum, read and chew ice cubes.
Last but not least...Think positive thoughts! Feel proud about quitting.
