Side effects to stopping smoking by willpower alone - Meal Times

What to expect if you stop smoking by willpower alone

Someone who tries to stop smoking by willpower alone, may find that they associate smoking at mealtimes.  They may find that after a meal, they want to smoke.

When to expect it

If someone has tried to stop smoking by willpower alone, may find themselves tempted to smoke at mealtimes. When it happens, and how long it lasts, varies from person to person, because it depend on the strength of association.  This is a conditioned (learned) response, and can be ‘unlearned’.

Why does it happen?

Over their years of smoking, their mind has formed a link between some aspect of eating, and smoking.  So when they are in this particular situation, the link triggers a desire to smoke.

The mind links things all the time…  when you were a smoker, you ‘learned’ that one of the times you smoke, was after a meal. 

What you can do to help yourself

There are two main things you can do to help yourself...

• If there are particular places or foods which have a really strong link for you with smoking, avoid them. 
  
  If you tend to stay at the table, involved in conversation, for example, after the meal… change the routine… walk and talk on the way to the kitchen to do the washing up!
  
• You could consider a session of stop smoking hypnotherapy with me! - See below for an explanation.

Why my clients find it easier

The 'need' to smoke comes from the individual's subconscious mind, weighing up the benefits of smoking, against the benefits of not smoking. 

The stop smoking hypnotherapy session sets about to change the subconscious balance, so that the person has no desire to smoke, because their subconscious mind finds that the benefits of not smoking, greatly outweigh the 'benefits' of smoking.

When this process happens, the mechanisms supporting these 'withdrawal symptoms' are no longer there.
