Confession of a former Nicotine Addict, I use to smoke close to two packs of cigarettes per day. I had quit on two different occasions, and had earned the health condition known as Chronic Bronchitis. My breath, clothes, hair, house, and car, smelled like an overflowing ashtray, and yet I continued to smoke.
What in the world made me continue this repulsive, nasty habit? What possible benefits could outweigh the consequences that were piling up in my life?
Well let’s see, first there was stress relief. Every time I felt tense, stress, or any uncomfortable emotion, all I had to do was light up my trusted friend, and I felt better immediately.
You see, nicotine is actually in a class of drugs called stimulants, and as with all stimulants it forces the release of such neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and nor epinephrine. These neurotransmitters are in charge of reward, drive, pleasure, and stimulation.
The problem is that the effects are only temporary, and cigarettes were also causing health issues which include
• Increased chances of heart attacks
• Increased chances of cancer
• Limited or diminished lung capacity
• Early wrinkles, and age spots
• Smelly clothes, breath, home, and car
• Yellow teeth, and skin
• More frequent illnesses
• Increased insurance rates
Along with all of that the cost of cigarettes continue to increase with each passing day. Today the cost of a pack of cigarettes is between seven and eight dollars a pack, (just recently the cost went from $7.00 to $7.65), a smoker is paying about $225.00 a month just to support this life threatening habit.
It is a proven fact that out of all the ways of quitting smoking or smoking cessation, the most effective is Hypnosis, usually producing a success rate of 90 to 92 % or higher. This is compared to nicotine patches, which produce 27% success rate, behavioral therapy at 24% success rate, or trying to quit on your own at 7% success rate.
Hypnosis works with the subconscious portion of your mind, giving you a new more effective ways of dealing with stress, while implanting images and thoughts that automatically increase the production of the above mentioned neurotransmitters, without the side effects of the nicotine.
While some programs promise results in just one session, the statistics suggest otherwise. A program that consist of three to five sessions spread out over a few weeks period is generally found to be more effective, and creates a better foundation for your quitting smoking. As with any addiction / recovery program the stronger the foundation, the greater the chance of success.
Also please be aware of costs. Like any program, you will find a variety of cost and charges. Just because a program charges you hundreds of dollars does not mean that it is more effective. Many high quality & effective programs, run by trained hypnotist and chemical dependency counselors can be found for anywhere from two to three hundred dollars. This is either slightly less or slightly more than what you pay on a monthly basis to continue to smoke.
Confession of a former Nicotine Addict, I use to smoke close to two packs of cigarettes per day. I have not smoked in over twenty six years, and I have never had an issue with urges or cravings. Hypnosis works, and it works well.
