Hypnotherapy Can Enable You To Easily Quit Smoking

If you are one who is trying to quit smoking cigarettes, you know how challenging it is to break this harmful addiction. However, it is possible, and half of all adult smokers will succeed in quitting smoking forever. Many smokers succeed in quitting smoking cigarettes by replacing them with different, more positive habits without having to suffer through withdrawal symptoms. By far, the most effective and easiest method to stop smoking and accomplish this end is hypnosis.

Stop smoking hypnosis is one of the most regularly practiced forms of hypnosis. It is often cited as a tool for quitting smoking along with strategies such as nicotine replacement therapy and other popular methods. It helps end the smoking addiction by combating cravings for cigarettes, keeping you committed to quitting, and promoting stress relief and relaxation so you will not feel the urge to smoke.

The smoking addiction is made up of both physiological and psychological components. The physiological addiction is a physical need the body acquires for nicotine. This component of the addiction is what causes the physical withdrawal symptoms that make it initially seem near impossible to stop smoking. However, this is a short, temporary part in the overall course of quitting the habit, lasting only between three days and one week. By the end of this period of time, your body acclimates to regular, nicotine-free functioning. Based on thirty years of experience, I believe that the physical addiction to nicotine makes up only ten percent of the addiction to cigarette smoking.

By far, the most challenging part of quitting smoking is overcoming the psychological addiction, which are the mental and emotional aspects of smoking. I believe this represents ninety percent of the cigarette addiction. When you develop a smoking habit, you unconsciously develop a desire to smoke in certain situations, such as every morning after breakfast. This is called a conditioned response. Stop smoking hypnotherapy works to eliminate the unconscious associations that cause one to crave cigarettes, thereby eliminating the conditioned response to smoke. Hypnotherapy also helps you stay motivated to cease smoking by strengthening your ideas that gave you the wish to break the smoking addiction in the first place.

Smokers get stuck impulsively lighting up and smoking. This is why many people who attempt to stop smoking using nicotine gums or patches alone are unable to quit. They promptly overcome the physical withdrawal, but they have no relief or replacement for the ritual of smoking cigarettes, which has become a mental addiction and pleasurable source of stress relief. Stop smoking hypnotherapy techniques eliminate this habit and serve as stress reducers as well. As a relaxation tool, hypnosis helps effectively relieve stress and anxiety so you will lose the cravings for cigarettes.

By adding some effective NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) techniques, quit smoking hypnotherapy can keep you motivated to kicking the habit by training your unconscious mind to focus on the benefits of quitting. Eliminating tobacco benefits you in numerous ways. Within days of quitting, body parts damaged by smoking begin to heal, damaged nerves re-grow, and your sense of taste and smell improves significantly. Within a few weeks, circulation and lung function improve. Within one year, your risk of heart disease is less than half that of a smoker. Within five to fifteen years, your risk of stroke is the same as a non-smoker. Your risk of dying from lung cancer and numerous other cancer risks have decreased, and your risk of heart disease is the same as someone who has never smoked at all.

In spite of the dangers of smoking and the health benefits of quitting, some smokers never overcome their addiction. For the most part, this is because they've never seriously made a decision to quit. Other smokers are afraid to experience withdrawal symptoms or give up the smoking habit. However, quitting smoking does not have to be the agonizing process that makes so many smokers reluctant to even attempt quitting. Hypnotherapy provides a very simple, natural method of quitting.
