Want to Quit Smoking? Hypnosis is (Almost) Pain-Free

Do you really want to quit smoking? Hypnosis is the most painless method you can possibly choose. Compared to using patches, pills, other drugs or cold turkey methods to quit smoking, hypnosis techniques are extremely gentle, easy to use and easy to learn.

If you’ve ever known anyone who has tried to quit cold turkey, you probably steered yourself clear of them for several weeks or months. At the very least, they’re cranky and grouchy. At worst, cold turkey quitters can be just plain mean and completely unpleasant to be around.

And they can be very short tempered. They’ll shout about silly things like who ate the last chocolate chip cookie, when there’s a full, fresh box sitting in the cupboard. Sometimes they’re so overly sensitive they’ll cry if you burn the toast.

If you’ve ever tried to quit cold turkey before, you may have even done some of those things yourself. Quitting smoking is a tough process, and cold turkey is anything but painless and gentle.

But when you quit smoking using hypnosis, you learn easy ways to handle your temper and emotions. When a strong nicotine craving grips your gut, you won’t need to grit your teeth to force yourself not to reach for a cigarette. Instead, you’ll have gentle mental techniques you can use to ease your way through.

And have you ever known anyone who tried to quit using nicotine replacement gum? Or have you ever tried it yourself? The gum tastes like the floor of a pub after closing on a busy Saturday night.

Even if you’re desperate to quit smoking, it can get really difficult to force that nasty-tasting gum into your mouth.

It gets to the point where you feel like you’re punishing yourself for quitting, instead of rewarding yourself. Chewing nicotine-laced gum is definitely not a pain-free and gentle approach to stopping smoking.

Hypnosis, on the other hand, has no disgusting after taste. And it doesn’t get harder and harder to do the longer to try it. In fact, just the opposite it true. It gets easier and easier the longer your use it.

The mental techniques you use when you quit smoking with hypnosis actually begin to become new habits themselves. You’ll find that you begin to use them automatically when nicotine cravings arise. But instead of reaching for your cigarettes and lighter, you’ll be able to just start mentally running through your hypnosis routine.

And have you ever had to stop in the middle of whatever you were doing (watching the play-off games? visiting at a friend’s house?) just to drive to the nearest store to pick up a fresh nicotine patch? When your patch runs out of juice, the nicotine cravings are just as strong (and painful) as when you were smoking.

Does that really surprise you? It shouldn’t. Stop and think about it for a minute. There’s only one difference between using a cigarette or cigar to fill your body up with nicotine and using a patch to do it: the patch doesn’t create smoke.

The patch is definitely easier on the environment. And the people around you will breathe more easily because you’re using it. Technically, you may have quit smoking when you use the patch. But you haven’t quit your nicotine addiction. And those killer cravings will keep coming back to haunt you.

But with a hypnosis program, when you get a gut-wrenching craving for nicotine right in the middle of your best friend’s wedding, you won’t have to grit your teeth in agony. Instead, you’ll only have to remember your hypnosis cues and mentally put them into play. Nice and easy. They’ll be available for you to use whenever and wherever you need them.
