Need help to quit ?

Would you like to know how to stop smoking in a positive and simple way?  Why don't you make a list of all the benefits you will enjoy as a non smoker.  Imagine yourself six months from now.  How great will you feel when you are offered a cigarette and you find yourself saying "no thank you,  I no longer smoke".  How proud are you go to feel and how will that boost your confidence?

So, why is quitting smoking so difficult for some of us to do?  If you weigh up the advantages and disadvantages of being a smoker you will always come up with the same result - only a fool would choose to continue to be a smoker. 

However if it was so easy to do you would have already given up!  Your subconscious mind will try to convince you that smoking is good for stress, it will help you cope with events during the day and it will guide you through the day.  Sadly, this is inaccurate and smoking is a major cause of stress and anxiety.   There is a common belief that smoking relieves stress, however it is also well known that there is a chemical within nicotine that actually increases stress.  When you smoke a cigarette to relieve stress this is more psychological than physiological.

As a smoker you know the facts about the dangers of smoking and most of us know what the reasons are to stop smoking, here are a few facts:  you are six times more likely to die from a smoking related disease than a road traffic accident, poisoning or an overdose.  Smokers lose an average of 16 years off their lives compared to non- smokers.  You may wish to feel healthier, save money, have better skin, stop standing outside in the cold having a quick ciggie, perhaps you want to put your health first, or for your family or maybe you have just outgrown the habit.  You may have decided that you no longer like the way that your clothes, hair, car and home smells.

There is good news!  When you give up smoking your health will improve and your risks of heart disease and lung cancer will drop and you will begin to feel healthier almost immediately. 

Hypnotherapy can be a very powerful tool and can give you the motivation to help you to stop smoking for good and think how good you will feel and how much money you will save?

Cannabis smoking can emotionally and physically allow you to become dependant and can be more harmful than smoking licensed tobacco and will need to have general therapy as well as the non smoking session.
