Quit Smoking Guide

Hypnosis is a natural state of mind that is between the aware state and sleep. Driving a route you are familiar with and not being fully conscious of every turn you make is similar to the hypnotic state. Hypnosis allows you to access your subconscious mind, which makes up 90% of your brain that stores all your memories. With hypnosis, you reprogram and release thought patterns and habits to make desirable, lasting changes in your life.

The following steps are the steps I follow for each session

An overview of Hypnosis and how it works. After this presentation, you will know more about the truth of Hypnosis than 99% of the general public.

Discuss your smoking pattern, onset and root cause.

Recommend a program which will most rapidly assist you in achieving your goal.

Answer your questions so you are comfortable with the idea of Hypnosis and feel good about your relationship with your Hypnotist.

Then the actual Hypnosis session will begin. You will be guided into a deep state of physical and mental relaxation. You will feel very relaxed, yet remain extremely alert mentally. You will be aware of everything going on around you.

Suggestions for the change you desire will then be given to your powerful subconscious mind. These suggestions will be retained by your subconscious and become a part of you. The old programming, which was keeping you from achieving your goals or which was causing a problem is removed, allowing you to accomplish goals and eliminate problems.

You will then be emerged from Hypnosis with strong suggestions of good health and positive attitude. You will feel better than you have for a very long time. These suggestions will continue to last, yet may need to be reinforced.

Everyone wants to know the number of sessions required. Using a systematic approach, the majority of people need 4-6 sessions for a specific issue. Five sessions is the average number of sessions required to create permanent and lasting results. Many hypnotherapists state that one one-hour session is all that is required to quit smoking. However, with only one one-hour session 95% of people start smoking again after six to eighteen months. Why? The answer is the emotional reason the person started smoking can not be removed in only one session. In order for the majority of people to cease smoking forever, the root cause that prompted them to smoke needs to be removed, thus an average of five sessions is required.

The fee for a hypnosis session for smoke cessation varies from $75.00 to $300.00, depending on practitioner and area.

To lead a long and healthy life - to quit smoking the need of the hour being none other than a strong sense of direction and a strong willpower. The onset of withdrawal symptoms is best neutralized by the wonders of technology - the Nicotine Patch. Nicotine patches facilitate quitting smoking while willpower translates the thought into action.

THE MECHANICS OF NICOTINE PATCHES

The mechanics of using Nicotine patches are based on the inherent affinity of the skin to absorb whatever is locally applied. Nicotine patches are logically a patch much like a plaster, which is impregnated with nicotine in a pad or gel. The patches being unique in their ability to transfer the nicotine into the blood stream and maintaining the level in the blood stream over extended periods of time - until the patch is removed from the skin. This maintenance of moderate and constant levels of nicotine in the blood ensures that there are no withdrawal symptoms due to inordinately low nicotine levels in the blood. The patches maintain a moderate level of nicotine in the blood but never as high as cigarettes - ensuring that the addiction to cigarettes is not substituted by nicotine patches.

Nicotine is the highly addicting and habit forming ingredient of cigarettes which is instrumental in the onset of the extremes of negative emotions such as anger, frustration, irritability and lack of concentration.

Nicotine patches sport varying degrees of nicotine concentrations which depend primarily on the degree of smoking that the subject has been exposed to - evidently heavy smokers need a much higher level of nicotine concentration which could well be tapered over a period of time.

PACKAGING THE PATCH

Nicotine patches come packaged under varying trade names - most popular being Habitrol which are predominantly round in shape and are available in varying strengths - twenty one, fourteen or seven milligrams of nicotine per patch and the efficacy period of any particular Habitrol patch being twenty four hours.

Conversely Nicoderm CQ patches are rectangular in shape and come in are available in varying strengths of twenty one, fourteen or seven milligrams of nicotine per patch with a efficacy period of twenty four hours which makes the two patches but a variant of identical concepts and the efficacy spectra could well be identical - there being little to choose one over the other.

On the contrary Nicotrol nicotine patches in spite of being rectangular in shape vary when compared to Nicoderm CQ patches. They come in single strength variants - fifteen milligrams and need to be worn for not over twelve hours - the nicotine patch may be worn in the morning and may be removed at bedtime - wearing these nicotine patches while sleeping is strongly contraindicated.

CESSATION AND SUSTENANCE

Smoking is an addiction, which is usually difficult but seldom impossible to quit. The concept of using Nicotine Patches is an adjunct to a wide array of modalities such as counseling, support groups and finally behavior modifications. The crux being not ‘cutting back’ on the amount of cigarettes smoked and the Nicotine patches are but an adjunct to the all-important attitude and the determination to quit smoking.

“No problem, I could quit anytime I want to”. That is the case for many smokers who believe they can quit anytime they want to as though they believe they had a magic switch to turn the nicotine off. But when you ask them why they are not quitting, it would as if of a sudden, they’re mind starts to get creative and could punch out 101 excuses. Sounds familiar right? The reality is

Smokers Are Addicted And Need Preparation Before Quitting!

This is because nicotine and chemicals when introduced into our body greatly affect our biological system. Smokers need preparation for quitting are because of the withdrawal symptoms.

Nicotine is a stimulant drug of which its effects where both simulation and relaxation may be felt. You see when we smoke, our body gets used to a certain alteration of conditions in our body. The brain gets used to these certain alternation very quickly even before we can notice it. Now, there’s a new balance in the brain due to those alterations. When the timely dose of nicotine or whatever chemicals as a result of smoking is not channeled towards the brain, the brain gets upset. Hence we feel uncomfortable with different people enduring different symptoms.

Some of the withdrawal symptoms include:

Cravings to smoke
Irritation
Anger
Insomnia
Dry mouth
Anxiety
Fatigue
Inability to Concentrate
Headache
Cough
Sore tongue and/or gums
Sleep Disturbances
Sore throat
Constipation, gas, stomach pain
Tightness in the chest

Some ways that could help you with the withdrawal symptoms are:

Wait
When it is time for you to smoke again, just wait a little while before you decide whether you want to smoke again just for about 3 to 5 minutes time. During this time of waiting, take 10 deep breaths slowly, relax yourself, also relaxing your shoulders.

Drink Plenty Of Water
This is to help you fight off the cravings

Become A Part Of A Community
Discuss with someone your feelings about quitting smoking. The easiest way to do that online is through forums. Exchange ideas, opinions and solutions. You’ll be surprised the insights you’ll gain through this experience.

Exercise
I cannot emphasize how important this is, exercise is supposed to boost up your energy so that you have better preparation to fight the cravings.

Get sufficient sleep
An excerpt from “Sleep: Essential for Optimal Health” by Drs. Robert Goldman and Ronald Klatz.

“Don’t slight sleep. It’s when you’re tired that you tend to overwork. When you’re rested you can finish the work without strain and still have energy and time left over for the rest of your life. Research shows that workers who get less than six hours of sleep a night are prone to costly accidents, poor concentration and poor performance. Without sleep depression, anxiety and anger increase.

The quality of sleep is just as important as number of hours. If you have trouble sleeping, try going to bed earlier, before 10:00. This usually creates a deeper sleep. Prepare for deep sleep by avoiding TV and computers in the evening.”

So when you get more rest, the likelihood for the need for cigarette is reduced.

Relaxation
Perform some night rituals such as reading a book before you go to bed or meditation to help you and your body to relax.
