1. The most severe case of nicotine addiction, with whom I have ever encountered
Perhaps I should start with the confirmation of their competence. No, I'm not a doctor and psychiatrist, but we are interested in the field of knowledge can be considered professional.
Thirty-three years of my life I lived as a heavy smoker. In recent years, before quitting smoking, I smoked no less than sixty cigarettes a day, and in a particularly difficult time - up to a hundred.
During his life, I made a lot of attempts to quit smoking. Once I even smoked six months, but he continued to climb the walls still kept close to those who smoke, trying to catch the smell of tobacco, still prefer to travel in cars for smokers.
From the point of view of health for the majority of smokers, the problem is this: "I Brochu smoking before this happened to me?" I have reached the stage when he became convinced that smoking is killing me. I had a constant headache, accompanied by an endless cough.
I felt a continuous surge in the vein extending vertically at the center of the forehead, and sincerely believed that at any moment in my head can burst blood vessels, and I'm going to die of a brain hemorrhage. It bothered me, but did not stop.
I have reached the stage when stopped even trying to quit. Not because I was getting so much pleasure from smoking.
Over a period of time the majority of smokers suffer from the illusion that enjoy the occasional cigarette, but I'm such a mistake has never suffered.
I always hated the taste and smell of cigarettes, but believed that they help me relax. They gave me courage and confidence, and whenever I tried to quit smoking, become unhappy and could not imagine a life of pleasure, without a cigarette.
In the end, my wife sent me to a hypnotherapist. I must admit that it is always skeptical of hypnosis anything about it while not knowing. I imagined a man like Svengali1, with piercing eyes and a swinging pendulum.
I had all the usual illusions about smoking, which have each smoker, except for one: I knew that I - not weak-willed people. I completely control all aspects of their lives, but cigarettes sway over me.
I thought that hypnosis involves violence against the will, and, though it did not prevent an event (like most smokers, I really wanted to give up), but I believe that no one can fool me and prove that the urge to smoke I do not have .
The session turned out to be a waste of time. Hypnotherapist tried to force me to raise their hands, and do various other things. It turned out that really did not work, I did not lose consciousness, did not sink into a trance (or at least did not think it happened).
Yet not only did I quit smoking after a session of hypnosis, but concluded that this process (including the period of withdrawal) - pleasant. Now, before you will break off and flee to a hypnotherapist, let me make something clear.
Hypnotherapy - a means of communication. Get the wrong message, you do not quit. I do not want to criticize the doctor, which asked for advice, because if he had not, I'd be dead by now.
But it happened in spite of, not because of it. I also do not want to seem forward to hypnotherapy; on the contrary, I use it as part of my ongoing consultations.
Hypnotherapy - the power of suggestion, and the powerful force that can be used for good as well as harm. Never refer to a hypnotherapist, if it was not recommended to you by someone whom you respect and who believe.
During all those terrible years, when I was a smoker, I thought that my life depends on cigarettes. I was ready to die rather than to do without them.
Today, people ask me if I had come one day strange pains. The answer is: Never, never, never! On the contrary, I have no more of them, and I live a wonderful life. If I died from smoking, I would, of course, is not complaining.
I was very happy, but the most amazing thing that has happened to me in life, - exemption from this nightmare, from bondage, forced me to go through life, systematically destroying your body and pay through the nose for this dubious privilege.
Let me at the outset to dot the «i»: I am - not a mystical figure. I do not believe in witches or fairies. I'm quite skeptical mind, but what happened to me, I can not be interpreted otherwise than magic. I began to read up everything about hypnosis and smoking. Nothing seemed out of the reading can not explain the miracle happened.
Why this time to quit smoking was so easy, ridiculously easy, if before it was followed by weeks of black depression?
In fact, to deal with all of this, it took me a long time, mainly because I went up to the point right. I tried to find out why quitting smoking was easy, while the main problem was to try to explain the reason for the heavy smokers to quit.
Smokers are talks about the awful agony of withdrawal period, but looking back, trying to remember their terrible suffering, I am convinced that they were not. I had no physical pain. Everything happened only in the mind.
Currently I am constantly busy helping people to get rid of this bad habit. And it is quite possible, I have helped thousands of smokers have already healed. I want to emphasize once importantly incorrigible smokers there.
It is still not met anyone who would just as much addicted to smoking (or, rather, believed that he has the same strong dependence), as I am.
Anyone can not just quit, but make sure to do it - easily.
Basically we make smoking fear: the fear that life without cigarettes will never be as comfortable, and the fear to feel deprived of something necessary. When you stop smoking, you will have only one question: "Why am I smoked for so long? "Let me issue a warning.
"Easy way" involves just two possible reasons for the failure:
1. NESPOBNOST follow the instructions.
Some annoying my categorical in respect of certain recommendations. For example, I urge you to not try to reduce the number of cigarettes smoked, or use substitutes (candy, chewing gum and the like - especially anything that contains nicotine).
I'm so categorical because I know his subject. I do not deny that there are many people who were able to quit smoking through the use of such tricks, but they threw in spite of them, not because of them.
There are people who can make love standing on the mound, but it's not the most pleasant way for that entertainment.
All I'm telling you, has one goal: to make quitting smoking easier and thus ensure success.
2. Failure to understand.
Do not take anything for granted. In matters related to smoking, challenge not just my words, but also their own opinions, and what society has taught you.
For example, those of you who think smoking is a habit, you should ask yourself:
"Why is it easy to give up other habits, even pleasant, but the habit that has lousy taste, which flies us a lot of money, and finally, just kills us - so hard to get rid of? "
