There
are three main reasons why we smoke:
1
Addiction!
2
Habit!
3
Brainwashing!
Addiction:
Some
say nicotine is one of the most addictive substances readily available to most people. Despite that people stop smoking easily
and forever using Hypnosis and other methods. Fortunately, nicotine is easy to eliminate in the body. It usually takes
somewhere between 6 to 10 days to rid the system of all traces of nicotine. Once all of the nicotine is removed from the body,
so is all of the physical craving (but not the mental craving).
Habit:
It
is said that it takes somwhere in the region of 21 days to fully form a habit. I believe some habits are formed in minutes
and repetition reinforces the behaviour. If you said "I love a cigarette after my morning coffee", don't be surprised if after
your morning coffee you reach for the cigarette box. And in some cases wanting a cigarette can lead to putting the kettle
on!
Some
people believe that a cigarette helps them to relax. And indeed after a cigarette they will indeed feel relaxed; but it isn't
the cigarette that is responsible, how could a stimulant (nicotine) help you to relax? It is the expectation that a cigarette
helps you to relax and deeper breaths that create the relaxed feeling.
Brainwashing:
Smoking
is a multi S$billion industry; it is estimated that, worldwide, a lot of people make a very nice living from the misery of
smokers! Needless to say that they have come up with some very ingenious ways to convince you that you do indeed want to smoke,
even if you consciously say I want to stop.
So,
if you say you want to stop then why don't you? Well, you do not smoke for conscious reasons; you smoke because your unconscious
mind believes it to be a survival issue; That's crazy, you say, I know it is killing me or it's a disgusting habit, it's
costing me a fortune etc; well if that's true then why don't you just stop? You wouldn't put your hand on a hotplate twice,
or would you? No, of course not. In reality you smoke unconsciously, habitually
and in a sense addictively.
So why Hypnosis?
Hypnosis
is a well proven method of retraining the unconscious mind and when you consider the unconscious mind, at some level,
believes smoking is a good thing for you to do; you can see how powerful Hypnosis can be in reversing this thought proccess.
I
use multiple sessions in my smoking cessation therapy. Research suggests that, for most people, mulitple sessions will help
support you through that initial period of eliminating the body of nicotine. It also helps with habit reversal and the
necessary retraining of the unconscious mind in relation to the smoking habit.
