How You Can Use NLP To Break The Cigarette Smoking Addiction

By: Alan B. Densky, CH

The average person tries to quit smoking between four to six times before they succeed. If you have tried patches, gum, prescriptions or willpower alone with no success, make your final attempt stick with stop smoking hypnosis.

Of all of the ways to quit smoking, hypnosis is literally the most trouble-free and has the most successful track record. If you are willing to consistently watch and listen to DVDs and CDs especially designed to curb your cravings to smoke, then quit smoking hypnosis will be successful for you.

Many smokers think that they are unable to quit smoking because of their addiction to nicotine, but that simply is not true. Medical professionals maintain that after seven to ten days - even as soon as three days - all nicotine has been cleared from the system, which leaves smokers to focus on the more arduous and far reaching emotional and psychological addiction to smoking cigarettes.

There are various techniques to quit smoking, but only one method can address both the emotional compulsion and the cravings: kick smoking hypnosis CDs. Many people who wish to quit still end up asking themselves, "Why can't I simply quit smoking?"

The answer is clear to hypnotherapists. The part of you that will not let you stop smoking is your unconscious. You can't change your unconscious by force of will or with a prescription, patch or gum. You require the correct kind of help.

In order to quit smoking, support is imperative, but many people do not grasp that the best support comes from within their own unconscious. Hypnosis is the most effective way to guarantee that your complete psyche is working to help you stop smoking. That is because hypnosis provides an effective way of communicating with your unconscious.

Stop smoking hypnosis helps you get rid of the urge to smoke by removing the compulsion to light up. When the urge and compulsion to smoke are removed, quitting becomes a simple decision that you can make without difficulty. The best stop smoking hypnosis programs are successful because they address the most powerful components of the addiction to smoking.

The first part of an effective stop smoking hypnosis program addresses the need to smoke for pleasure and relaxation. This model was actually instituted when you were an infant. Most likely, when you got cranky, your mother or father put a bottle in your mouth. Then your attention got diverted; you relaxed and likely fell asleep. Smokers get the same calming effect from a cigarette.

With quit smoking hypnosis, your unconscious is reprogrammed to attain pleasure and relaxation by automatically exchanging stress-inducing thoughts with calming thoughts instead, all via the use of the very same triggers that formerly made you anxious. This makes the tension almost disappear magically. Furthermore, the very essence of hypnosis is relaxation. So by listening to a calming hypnotherapy CD daily, stress levels will quickly fade.

The second part of an effective stop smoking hypnosis program will help you tackle the habituation, or the "Habit." Habituation transpires when the unconscious creates an association between smoking and other behaviors, such as driving or watching TV. Perhaps the second that you turn on the TV you are besieged with a craving to smoke.

An effective stop smoking hypnosis CD or DVD can reprogram your unconscious associations so that driving, for example, actually makes you want to REJECT smoking! This is called, no pun intended, extinguishing a conditioned response.

Here is a news flash! The physical addiction to nicotine is only about ten percent of the addiction. Ninety percent of the addiction to cigarettes is comprised of the emotional and mental components that we've talked about so far. And as stated earlier in this article, medical professionals maintain that the body is clear of nicotine in as little as three days.

People who use Neuro-Linguistic Programming and quit smoking hypnosis CDs and DVDs find that when their smoking associations and dependence on cigarettes to relax have undergone reprogramming, the physical addiction is in fact such a diminutive part of their smoking problem, that it has no impact on their power to quit smoking without suffering from withdrawal.

Now, I must tell you that regardless of the extraordinary success that clients have had with stop smoking hypnosis and NLP CDs and DVDs, you must possess the desire to quit smoking prior to beginning a program. And as well as the desire to quit smoking, you must make an honest decision to quit. That means that you must be ready and willing to throw away your cigarettes.

Hypnosis can't be used to force you to do something you don't wish to do, so no program can coerce you to quit. But if you have the wish to quit smoking, and you make a resolution to quit smoking, hypnosis will help you to remain relaxed and not endure withdrawal symptoms, cravings or tension. Let hypnosis and NLP give you the support you need.

The common person attempts to stop smoking between four to six times before they beat the addiction. Many of those who quit smoking gain on a great deal of excess weight. Hypnotherapy CDs provide a powerful alternative that allows smokers to quit without having to suffer from weight gain or withdrawal.
