Becoming Free


Becoming Free

Self-destructive behaviors can be especially troubling and painful. When trapped inside an undesirable, destructive behavior such as smoking, a person can feel many disturbing emotions: They may feel powerless; they may feel angry, out of control, or ashamed. Some even notice feelings of disgust or self-hatred. Without assistance, powerful negative emotions like these can make it even more difficult for a person to get the results they desire, forever ending those terrible feelings, finally becoming a non-smoker.

For many people, smoking has become:

  • An empty, frustrating activity that no longer serves a useful, rational purpose
  • A compulsion that acts against their conscious will
  • A persistent, out of control habit that does not respond to conscious control
  • An unfulfilling, repetitive behavior often aggravated by stress

Our clients stop smoking. They get results that last. No matter how many times a person has failed in the past, success is now available. Every person we help is unique. Each person has their own reasons for finally choosing success. Some decide to quit when they focus on the consequences of smoking -- painful diseases, prolonged suffering, and even sudden and unexpected or slow and painful death. For others, thinking of their family provides the motivation they need. Many are simply tired of a life that seem unnecessarily difficult, unsatisfactory, or out of control, filled with troubling feelings and thoughts.

In our private and group sessions, we offer lasting cures. We are outcome oriented, systematic, and we get measurable results. When you’re ready to experience relief, contacting us can be the very first step to a richer, more satisfying life. We can confidentially explore your needs and desires, and if you should decide to succeed, leaving that troubling addiction behind forever, we’ll guide you compassionately and skillfully into freedom from cigarettes. Each person we help is different, but all can experience an abundant life with a more satisfying balance, greater joy, and an enriched sense of well being. You can become a non-smoker now.

Smoking & Stress


Smoking and Stress

Stress is a problem. There are work related stresses, the stress of being a caregiver, a parent, anyone can all fall prey to extreme or chronic stress. A person’s stress response is appropriate if an immediate threat or danger confronts us, but more often stress is triggered by situations, real or imagined, that are far from life threatening. Human consciousness has developed to the extent that emotions, ideas, memories, and expectations can trigger stress even when nothing is actually happening in our immediate environment. Some people experience stress chronically, resulting in the near constant presence of stress hormones acting on the mind and body.

Living in frequent or chronic stress can leave a person feeling exhausted and weak, making them susceptible to disease or emotional difficulties. Excess stress also inhibits a person’s ability to act appropriately and effectively. Without the unique help we provide, it can be especially difficult for a person under stress to stop smoking. Many smokers have difficulty stopping until they are able to handle stress in more useful and appropriate ways. In our private and group sessions, in addition to ending the smoking addiction, we also empower a person to control the counter-productive stress responses that have been holding them back.

To quit smoking with greater ease and remain a non-smoker, you can expect results:

  • Controlling or eliminating excess or chronic stress
  • Removing internal and external stress producing blocks
  • Identifying and eliminating hidden assumptions that create unnecessary stress
  • Eliminating counterproductive, stress producing mental habits
  • Stopping negative, stress producing self-talk
    • Gaining greater control over your thoughts and feelings, reducing stress
  • Mastering your mindset and emotional state even in difficult situations
  • Refocusing after setbacks, keeping stress to a minimum
  • Developing consistent access to inner states of calm, confidence, and excellence
  • Relaxation and stress reduction techniques utilizing the power of self-hypnosis

To help our clients stop smoking forever, we give them greater control over their thoughts, emotions, and moods. In our private and group sessions, we offer lasting cures. We are outcome oriented, systematic, and we get measurable results.

When you’re ready to experience relief, contacting us can be the very first step to a richer, more satisfying life. We can confidentially explore your needs and desires, and if you should decide to succeed, we’ll guide you compassionately and skillfully into freedom from cigarettes. Each person we help is different, but all can experience an abundant life with a more satisfying balance, greater joy, and an enriched sense of well being. You can become a non-smoker now.

The more reasons you have to quit smoking, the more likely you are to follow through on your plan to quit.

What are your smoking triggers?
Start by listing some of the times when you most want a cigarette. These are your "triggers" to smoking. Triggers are events that set off your desire to smoke a cigarette. How would you complete the phrase, "I want a cigarette..."?
When I see someone else smoking.
When I see cigarettes in an ashtray.
When I am cleaning the house.
When the telephone rings.
When I am relaxing.
When I drink a cup of coffee.
When I have an alcoholic drink.
During or after meals.
When I am driving a car.
After leaving work.
When I am watching TV.

For each trigger that applies to you, think of something you could do that would make you less likely to smoke. For example, instead of smoking after a meal, you could get right up and brush your teeth.

Do you use cigarettes to relieve uncomfortable feelings?
Smokers often use cigarettes to help them cope with certain uncomfortable feelings. Think about whether you do this. You may have smoked cigarettes when you felt the following emotions:

Angry
Mistreated
Disappointed
Hurt
Resentful
Frightened
Ashamed
Frustrated
Lonely
Embarrassed
Abandoned
Depressed
Guilty
Anxious or stressed
Sorry for yourself
Bored
Abused
Worried

What can I do about nicotine withdrawal? If you smoke on a regular basis, you are probably physically dependent on nicotine. You will most likely have withdrawal symptoms when you stop smoking.

Your body gets rid of half the nicotine in your bloodstream every 1 to 2 hours. It doesn't take long after you finish a cigarette before your body wants another one. You may become irritable and agitated, have trouble sleeping, have difficulty concentrating or experience mood swings. These withdrawal symptoms are often the reason smokers give up their effort to quit. They are worse during the first few days after you quit, but most are gone in a few weeks.

No one says that quitting cigarettes is easy. But everyone says it's worth it!

Quitting will drastically reduce your risk of heart and blood vessel diseases - diseases that kill someone every 33 seconds. It will also lower your chance of lung disease and cancer. Most of all, quitting can save your life and the lives of nonsmokers around you.
