The Facts About Smoking

Will Power

Side effects to stopping smoking by willpower alone - Social Situations

What to expect if you stop smoking by willpower alone

Someone who tries to stop smoking by willpower alone, they may find that in social situations where others smoke, they may feel a desire to smoke, or it may even feel like they are deliberately trying to break your resolve.

When to expect it

If someone has tried to stop smoking by willpower alone, they may find themselves tempted to smoke whenever those around them are still smoking (or have failed in their own efforts stop smoking!).

Why does it happen?

Over their years of smoking, their mind has formed a link between social situations, and smoking.  So when they are in these particular situations, the link triggers a desire to smoke.

The problem here can also be intensified by the efforts (unconscious or otherwise) of their friends and family - It can simply happen because people around their friends may not feel comfortable that they have managed to stop smoking, and their friends haven’t.  It’s a sad fact, but true, that they may well find friends and family deliberately trying to sabotage their efforts.

What you can do to help yourself

What you do to help:

• Rise above it.  Feel good in the knowledge that they are only trying to do it because you have successfully managed to achieve something they haven’t!. 
  
• You have a right to enjoy a smoke free environment… so ask someone not to smoke near you.
  
• Don’t allow visitors to smoke in your home, ask them to step outside.
  
• Never buy or hold cigarettes for others.
  
• Start to notice situations that you find difficult, and avoid them if you can.

• 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.

Stop Smoking Testimonials

"You’ve completely cured my lack of willpower and confidence"

... a stop smoking client from Essex

"Hi Paul, hope you are well,

Just wanted to let you know it's been a week now since my therapy and I haven't smoked. In fact in a way it feels like I've never smoked.

I haven't had any cravings and I have no problem being around other smokers. The therapy has worked so well for me, I feel great and things in my life seem to be coming together nicely.

I have recommended you to 3 of my close friends.

I will continue to recommend you to people who could benefit from your treatment as I am over the moon with results I have seen in myself."

...a stop smoking client from Hitchin

"I was going to get back to you earlier but decided to wait until i had been through everything and still not smoked.

It's been 5 weeks and i still have not smoked, i haven't even had a craving!!

I dont know how you've done it and im sure a lot of it is to do with wanting to give up, i have been on holiday, been to family gatherings and all my family smoke, and even had emotional upset and i cannot believe that through all that i have not had the urge to have a cigarette.

I wanted to say thanks "

A stop smoking client from Bedfordshire

"She stopped smoking so easily after coming to see you, that I've come as well, because I want the same for me."

...a stop smoking client from Warwick
