Cigarette Smoking -The Addiction Can Be Broken

The typical person tries to quit smoking between four to six times before they are successful. If you have tried prescriptions, patches, gum or willpower alone with no success, make your final attempt stick with stop smoking hypnosis.

Of all of the ways to quit smoking, hypnosis is truly the most trouble-free and has the most successful track record. If you are willing to consistently watch and listen to CDs and DVDs especially intended to curb your cravings to smoke, then quit smoking hypnosis will be successful for you.

Many smokers believe that they cannot quit smoking because of their nicotine addiction, but that simply is not true. Medical professionals maintain that after seven to ten days - even as soon as three days - all nicotine has been eliminated from the system, which leaves smokers to deal with the more difficult and far reaching emotional and psychological addiction to smoking cigarettes.

There are many ways to quit smoking, but just one method can address both the cravings and the emotional compulsion: quit smoking hypnotherapy. Many people who wish to quit still end up asking themselves, "Why can't I simply stop smoking?"

The answer is clear to hypnotherapists. The part of you that will not let you quit smoking is the unconscious. You cannot alter your unconscious mind by force of will or with a prescription, patch or gum. You need the right kind of help.

To quit smoking, support is imperative, but most people do not see that the best support comes from within their own unconscious. Hypnosis is the most successful method to guarantee that your complete psyche is united to help you stop smoking. That's because hypnosis provides a persuasive way of communicating with the unconscious mind.

Quit smoking hypnosis helps you overcome the urge to smoke by removing the craving to light up. When the compulsion and urge to smoke are removed, stopping becomes painless choice that you can make without difficulty. The best stop smoking self-hypnosis programs work because they work to eliminate the most powerful parts of the addiction to smoking.

The first part of an effective stop smoking hypnosis program addresses the need to smoke for pleasure and relaxation. This model was actually set up when you were an infant. Most likely, when you were cranky, your mother or father put a bottle in your mouth. Then your attention got diverted; you relaxed and likely fell asleep. Smokers get the same soothing effect from a cigarette.

With quit smoking hypnosis, your unconscious is reprogrammed to achieve pleasure and relaxation by unconsciously switching stress-inducing thoughts with calming thoughts instead, all via the use of the very same triggers that previously made you anxious. This makes the tension almost disappear magically. In addition, the very core of hypnosis is relaxation. So by listening to a calming hypnotherapy CD daily, stress levels will quickly diminish.

The second part of an effective stop smoking hypnosis program will help you address the habituation, or the "Habit." Habituation transpires when the unconscious generates an association between smoking and other behaviors, such as driving or watching television. Perhaps the second that you turn on the TV you are overwhelmed with a craving to smoke.

An effective stop smoking hypnosis DVD or CD will reprogram your unconscious associations so that watching TV, for example, actually makes you want to REJECT smoking! This is called, no pun intended, extinguishing a conditioned response.

Here is a news flash! The physical nicotine addiction is only about ten percent of the addiction. Ninety percent of the addiction to cigarettes stems from the emotional and mental components that we've looked at so far. And as stated earlier in this article, medical professionals tell us that the body is void of nicotine in as little as three days.

People who use Neuro-Linguistic Programming and quit smoking hypnosis CDs and DVDs find that when their smoking associations and reliance on cigarettes to relax have undergone reprogramming, the physical addiction is essentially such a tiny part of their smoking problem, that it has no impact on their ability to quit smoking without suffering from withdrawal.

Now, I must convey to you that regardless of the extraordinary success that clients have had with stop smoking hypnosis and NLP CDs and DVDs, you must possess the desire to quit smoking prior to undertaking a program. And besides the desire to quit smoking, you must make a sincere decision to quit. That means that you must be ready and willing to throw your cigarettes away.

Hypnosis can't be used to force you to do something you don't want to do, so no program can coerce you to stop smoking. But if you have the wish to quit smoking, and you make a resolution to quit smoking, hypnosis will help you to remain comfortable and not suffer from cravings, tension or withdrawal symptoms. Let hypnosis and NLP give you the support you need.
