You may feel like you are divided.  Part of you wants to stop smoking but part of you says it just isn’t worth it.  Maybe there’s a list of reasons and excuses, it’s too enjoyable, it’s too hard to stop, and you don’t care.  Maybe you really want to stop, but every time you try, you can’t stay stopped.  Whatever the reason, why not make it as easy as you possibly can, with hypnosis?

Like any drug, the first week of withdrawal is the hardest.  Nicotine withdrawal is a hard thing to live with and Steve G. Jones self-hynosis CDs and MP3s can be with you during the process, giving you support every day, encouraging you that you can do it.

You are probably going to feel frustrated and irritated.  You are going to want something to do with your hands, having a stress ball to squeeze may help. 

Try to gather support from friends and family.  Reach out and call them as often as you can, especially during the first month.  Listening to the self-hypnosis CD or MP3, consistently, at least once a day for the first 21 days is highly recommended.

One reason people smoke is to get stress relief.  Try the Stress Relief CD and the Meditation CD and see how much your life improves.  The truth is, in our stressful world, the only time most people stop and take a deep breath is when they are inhaling deeply on a cigarette.

Do you want to stop smoking?  Are you ready to stop smoking now?  Oh, maybe not now.  Monday?  After Christmas, New Year’s, Easter?  The truth is sometimes we are truly ready.  Sometimes we wish we could stop but we’re not ready yet.  Even if you are not ready, consider buying and listening to the CD or MP3 now as a way to begin to let your subconscious become willing to get ready.  Our brains are complex and often have conflicting desires and emotions.  Hypnosis brings those conflicts into synch.

We suggest that you make a list of all the reasons you want to stop smoking.  Make a list that is personal to you.  You may want to stop and look that list every hour, before the craving hits, because it is very likely that smoking cravings will hit you.   Add new reasons every time you think of one.  Use your list of reasons as an additional tool to your hypnotherapy CDs.

Your list might be centered on how smoking can be damaging to your health, your looks, and your wallet.

Heart diseases and cancer are the number one and two killers in the U.S.  Smoking taxes the heart muscles incredibly.  Smokers have three times the likelihood of having a heart attack as non-smokers. The risk of a heart attack drops by 50% one year after quitting.   Lung cancer is almost exclusive to smokers (over 90% of lung cancer patients are smokers).  All kinds of cancer are now directly linked to smoking including stomach cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer, kidney, and pancreas, larynx, and cancer of the mouth.  In addition to cancer, emphysema, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (COPD)

The 2004 Surgeon General's report linked smoking to over fifty diseases and conditions as varied and wide ranging.  They spanned the gamut from mildly annoying to deadly.  Besides the more well known, back pain, neck pain, penis erectile dysfunction and low sperm count, immune system malfunctions, and hearing loss, were among some of the surprises.

The good news is that every day you stop smoking and stay stopped, the body begins to rebuild.  Quitting cold turkey is hard.  For some people that’s the best way.  They need to pick a date and stick to it.  Is it worth it to you to live longer and to stay healthier?  How about just to make it through a day without coughing or clearing your throat?

Figure out how much a month of smoking costs you.  A lot more than the price of a CD or MP3 to change your life.  Then figure out what a year of smoking costs you monetarily.

In the 1940s and 50s, tobacco companies used to tout the virtues of smoking.  It was cool the big companies bragged.  They even tried to tell you it was healthy for you.  We know better now, but science is uncovering more every day.    How much of a toll is it taking that we don’t know about yet.

Maybe other things will motivate you to give up smoking.  Because giving up smoking takes commitment and hypnosis will help but you have to know what your prime reasons are.  Ask yourself how much older does my skin look because of your smoking?  Does this inconvenience anyone I love?  Will food and drink taste better if I stopped?  Will my breath, hair and clothes smell better, will anyone notice that?  What about the time it takes that you could be doing something else?

How will it feel to have had hypnotherapy help you no longer craving or be distracted by wanting cigarettes when you are not smoking or not able to smoke?  What will it be like on long train rides, airplanes, or busses?  What will it be like not to have to get up and go out of a restaurant to smoke?  Will that matter to you?

Once you educate yourself on reasons to stop smoking, you’ve talked to your intellectual rational brain.  But that’s not the part that’s craving the cigarette.  So hypnosis will give you positive replacement suggestions to add the desire to stop smoking deep into your mind when you are open to having new patterns become a new way of life.

It all depends on what you value in your life and what your priorities are. To become a non-smoker, getting your subconscious mind involved is the key! It contains your emotions and habit center, your intellect does not. Why do you think cigarette advertising is now so restricted? Advertising works on the subconscious mind! You need to get the message to your subconscious mind in a way that it can help you, not sabotage your efforts.

This Stop Smoking Hypnotherapy CD and Stop Smoking hypnotherapy MP3 has enjoyed a high success rate with smoking cessation and stopping smoking is one of the most common reasons why people consult hypnotherapists. When quitting smoking, it best not to dwell on negative aspects such as ill health, but instead to aim for positive outcomes such as good health, fitness, freedom and energy.

I know many of you out there are smokers. And I know that you have heard it all before about how bad it is for you and how you need to quit. Most smokers want to quit, they just aren’t sure how and they don’t know how to cope with the withdrawal from nicotine.

Research has been shown to help smokers quit their habit, using hypnotherapy as an aide. Everything about hypnotherapy is relaxing and encouraging. Relaxation and encouragement is what smokers need to quit smoking! Studies have shown that hypnotherapy is a great tool in helping smokers to quit. Hypnotherapy helps people quit FOR GOOD, not just for a few weeks or months.

If you smoke, I encourage you to look into hypnosis to help you quit smoking. How great would it be to be a non-smoker? Imagine not having to excuse yourself to go on a cigarette break. Imagine no longer having cravings for nicotine. Think about how better you will smell. And most importantly, think about how your body will become healthier as a result of quitting.

Here is a sample of the script used in this recording:

Stop Smoking

Willingness is a state of mind and you are willing to be a non smoker because that is what you want. You will succeed. You are willing to do whatever it takes to produce the results you want. You choose to be a non smoker. Just be willing, be willing. Be willing to do whatever it takes to be a non smoker. Your thoughts create your behavior. When you have a behavior you want to change, you change the thought pattern and the behavior changes automatically. All of your behavior results directly from your thoughts. Therefore, think of yourself as a non smoker. Hear yourself saying I am a non smoker. When someone offers you a cigarette, hear yourself saying, no thanks, I don’t smoke. For your body, smoking is poison. You want to live a long and healthy life. You owe your body respect and protection. You have made a commitment to protect and respect your body and when you do that, you then have the power with in you to smoke your last cigarette. You will maintain your non smoking easily and effortlessly. Just relax, let it happen, hear yourself repeating slowly in your subconscious mind, I am a non smoker now and forever more. I am going to make this work. I expect this to work. I now allow myself to be a non smoker. I deserve to be a non smoker. You will maintain your non smoking permanently. You will be relaxed when others are smoking around you. Cigarettes are poison. Cigarettes are filled with over 4,000 substances and then when someone offers you a cigarette, hear yourself say no thank you, I quit. You are now and forever more a non smoker. In the morning, before you can even open your eyes tell yourself, I am strongly motivated to be a non smoker, one day at a time easily and effortlessly. See yourself going through your day and night without a cigarette. That’s right, see yourself getting up in the morning without a cigarette. See yourself having coffee or reading the paper, doing what you do in the morning without a cigarette. See yourself on a phone, without a cigarette. See yourself driving, playing your favorite music, relaxed and comfortable, without a cigarette. See yourself after a meal, without a cigarette. Relaxed and comfortable, no interest, no desire. See yourself doing the things that you do throughout the day, whatever they may be, without a cigarette, uninterested, no desire. See yourself out with others, and someone lights up, tell yourself, cigarettes are not a sign of friendship. Cigarettes are poison. You are now and forever more a non smoker. And long ago there is a food that you decided not to eat. Imagine that food now. You made a decision that you would not eat that food and nothing and no one could make you pick up a fork and eat that disgusting and nauseating food. Just as now you have made your choice to be a non smoker and nothing and no one can make you take that first puff. Every time you take a look at a pack of cigarettes you will think of that food and nothing and no one can make you take the first puff. You are now and forever more a non smoker. And as you relax I would like to recall a time in your life, a time in your life when you felt completely confident and proud of yourself. See that moment clearly. Notice the colors in the room. Hear the sounds associated with that event. Notice any odors associated with that event. Feel the atmosphere, your clothes, and the temperature and now make all of those sounds, sights, and smells even more vivid and now allow the feeling of pride associated with this event to build in intensity. And when you feel the pride associated with this event at the maximum level of intensity, make a fist with your former smoking hand and as you hold the fist tightly, take three slow deep breaths, in and out. Feel even more intensely the pride that you felt during the event. That’s right, you are there now at that event. Feel that adrenaline rush and as you breathe in and out now. Feel the sense of pride begin to get stronger. Now unclench your fist and relax even more deeply. You are now and forever more a non smoker. I am going to give you a post hypnotic suggestion. A post hypnotic suggestion works long after the hypnosis session is over. For your benefit you will use the suggestion as long as you need it. When you no longer need it, it will just fade away. If you ever feel an urge or a craving for a cigarette, you will make a fist with your former smoking hand, that’s right, a tight fist. This is now your power hand. This is a signal to your subconscious mind which says I am powerful. I am a non smoker. Now take three deep breaths in and out. And as you exhale each time, exhale all of that craving out into the atmosphere where it just dissipates and fades away. Remember if you feel a craving, make a fist and take three deep breaths. Tell yourself that a craving for a cigarette lasts for just a few seconds and after you have done this, you can relax that hand. All you need to cope with is a few seconds, so distract yourself. Think of the food you want to eat, this is not deprivation, this is reward. Tell yourself, I am not giving up pleasure, I am giving up poison. Tell yourself, the first puff is the problem. If I never take the first puff, I have no problem. You are now and forever more a non smoker. Imagine yourself one year from now. You are out with friends. You feel great. You look great. It has been a wonderful year. People around you are smoking. As you watch them puff away, you think about how lucky you are to be rid of that dirty, killing habit. Hear someone offer you a cigarette. Hear yourself say no thank you, I stopped smoking. You are now and forever more a non smoker and every night before going to sleep, tell yourself, I am a permanent non smoker. I expect to be a non smoker. I will allow myself to be a non smoker. I deserve to be a non smoker. Relax, let the results take care of themselves. You are a non smoker. You have given up smoking for many reasons. Think of those reasons now. Clean, clear, healthy, pink lungs. More energy, more stamina. Clean smelling mouth. Clean smelling breath. To be a better influence. To reinforce your confidence, to live a longer and healthy life and all the other good, positive, powerful reasons you have. You are now and forever more a non smoker. No matter what is going on in your life you are now and forever more a non smoker. No matter how aggravated you may be, nothing and no one can make you take the first puff. No matter how upset and sad you can be at times, nothing and no one can make you take the first puff. No matter how heart broken or aggravated you may be from time to time, nothing and no one can make you take the first puff. Believe it. Trust yourself. Trust your subconscious mind. A habit that is not fed is soon gone. You are now and forever more a non smoker. Now all thoughts, all cravings, all urges connected to smoking are gone from your mind and your body. Let it happen. Let it happen easily and effortlessly. You have given up smoking for yourself. You are now and forever more a non smoker. Congratulations.
