The following are my thoughts on quitting and what you should be aware of

It's not as hard as you think. If you are honest with yourself and look at the facts about smoking, it can become a pleasure to remove this habit from your life.

Remember, thousands have succeeded so why not you now?

Remember you are not giving up something; you are giving yourself a wonderful gift! The gift to be free of poison. This is your one chance to make a fresh start and look after your body. Many don't take that chance and then it is to late.

A lot has been said overtime about what smoking does to your body and unfortunately many keep thinking, it will never happen to me. Well it can and it can sooner than you think. Life is precious. Take the opportunity now! Grasp the chance to quit while you can- while you are in front- otherwise it maybe to late!

They say if you could take the poison out of one cigarette and put it in an injection there would be enough to kill a horse! 2 drops would kill a pigeon. And how many cigarettes do you smoke a day?

You maybe saying there are to many pressures or stresses right now to stop now and give up your cigarettes.

Let me say this, "If you are smoking, this in itself is a very great pressure. Every day is a gamble and your life is at stake. By getting nicotine out of your life now, other things will become easier to handle. You will feel better about yourself and you will have more energy, more money and you will be more socially acceptable and you will have accomplished something from which you can feel proud now."

Many use the excuse that they may gain weight to justify their continuing to smoke. Even if you do gain a little, the fact that you will be more active and will get more exercise should counteract any weight gain.

Remember, also that overeating, and smoking, causes weight gain.

While you are quitting. Look at it as an investment. Once you have quit for one hour, you have invested this hour in becoming a healthier person. Now, invest one more hour. Continue to add to your investment hour by hour. It will grow and become more valuable as the hours go by. You will begin to see and feel the rewards from this investment more and more. Protect and guard it just as you would a treasure.

Whilst you are quitting I would recommend that you keep yourself busy. Change your habits and keep busy. It is a whole new beginning so do different things. Find new things to enjoy. Go bike riding, dancing, swimming and really enjoy life. This can be the time to indulge yourself. The time to feel proud of yourself.

Remember any discomfort you experience in the first 2 weeks will definitely come to an end and just think of the benefits you will have As a result of quitting now!

Remember, every minute you were sucking on cigarettes they were sucking on you. They were sucking the very life out of you. Now you can have a new life! A life free of ingesting all that poison.

Drink lots of liquids to help flush the poison out of your system. Orange juice is good because smoking depletes the vitamin C content in our bodies.

If you cannot do it on your own Remember, I can help!

Let me say, there are often various reasons for people smoking and often it is just so important to deal with those reasons first, otherwise anything else ends up only being a band aid. That is why I prefer Clinical Hypnotherapy; however, having said that I also believe our diet can play a very important part.

Remember, It can be easier with Clinical Hypnotherapy. It is not a long process- make up your mind and do it now!
