“Become a non smoker again”

Copyright© Bellanti Enterprises 2013

Gold Coast Quit Smoking Seminar

Page 2: Quit Smoking Seminar

I want to tell you right now that I was a smoker for 25 years.

I have now been a non-smoker again since 1984, that’s almost 30

years

Gold Coast Quit Smoking Seminar

Page 3: Quit Smoking Seminar

The reason I say a non-smoker again is that everyone

was born a non-smoker!

Gold Coast Quit Smoking Seminar

Page 4: Quit Smoking Seminar

I did it therefore YOU Can Do It!

and

I know the excuses smokers use, to justify their smoking ...

because I’ve used most of them ...

Gold Coast Quit Smoking Seminar

Page 5: Quit Smoking Seminar

In fact sometimes I think I invented them all and those I didn’t invent I’ve heard over and

over again!

To all the excuses I say “bulls**t!”

So what’s your excuse?

and would you DARE to say it!

The Excuses

Page 6: Quit Smoking Seminar

Now let’s have some fun!

Gold Coast Quit Smoking Seminar

Page 7: Quit Smoking Seminar

Split up into pairs with someone you don’t know.

•I want you to tell each other your excuse, one person goes first, the other listen.

•For each excuse you hear, unless it’s really tragic, I want you to tell the other person

“bulls**t!” Then laugh out loud.

Who wants to share the funniest excuse

they’ve heard?

Sharing

What Smokers Lungs Look Like

Page 10: Quit Smoking Seminar

Heart Disease, Stroke

Many kinds of Cancer including lungs, throat, gums, stomach, intestinal, skin

Emphysema

Gangrene

Smokers invariably die a slow and agonising death.

The Real Risks Smokers Face

Page 11: Quit Smoking Seminar

What I mostly hear from clients is that they started in their teens.

One client started in her twenties.

A lucky few remain “social smokers” i.e. They only smoke at parties or special occasions.

But as you know, smoking is becoming less and less socially acceptable.

When Did You Start?

Page 12: Quit Smoking Seminar

Health conscious people are becoming more aware of the damage even second hand smoke causes and

the toxins that exude from a smoker’s pores.

One grandmother I consulted told me that her daughter won’t let her near the grandchildren

because of this!

This poor woman absolutely wreaked of stale smoke, nicotine and tar odour.

There is a Backlash!

Page 13: Quit Smoking Seminar

There is a lot of direct and indirect support when you decide to quit!

The government consistently runs Quit Now campaigns.

Then there is the indirect Social Support because clubs, pubs, restaurants, cafes and

workplaces are smoke free.

You are Supported

Page 14: Quit Smoking Seminar

Why Did You Start to Smoke?

Page 15: Quit Smoking Seminar

These are the most common reasons from my clients:

•My friends were smoking

•I wanted to be part of the group

•I thought it was cool at the time

•I thought it made me look more grown up

•I was influenced by the advertising

•Why did YOU start to smoke?

Why Did You Start to Smoke?

Page 16: Quit Smoking Seminar

•Are those friends still smoking?

•Are you still part of that group?

•Knowing what you know about smoking now, do you think it’s still cool?

•Now there is no more cigarette advertising, how can you be influenced by it?

•Why do you continue to smoke?

Now Ask Yourself

Page 17: Quit Smoking Seminar

Who can tell me about withdrawals?

If withdrawals were a result of body’s lack of nicotine, then NRT should prevent withdrawals, isn’t that so?

So why do so many people keep smoking even when they take lozenges, gums or patches etc ...?

I’ve had clients come for Hypnotherapy who have used Champix and still didn’t stop!

Smoking is a habit... A nervous habit.

Withdrawals

Page 18: Quit Smoking Seminar

When you first learned to drive you had to consciously think:

Put key in ignition, turn key, put the car into gear, click on the indicator, check rear vision mirror, press the gas pedal, then

pull out on to the road and accelerate.

Now that you have driven for years there’s hardly any need to consciously be aware of each step.

You get in the car, start it, check rear vision and go! You hardly think about it because it has become an unconscious

process.

Nervous Habit – What?

Page 19: Quit Smoking Seminar

Firstly many of you were probably nervous or excited

You possibly had to be taught how to light the cigarette, you know, it won’t light just by holding the

flame to it, you have to draw on the cigarette.

Once it’s lit you draw and inhale.

There’s ten to fifteen draws per cigarette.

The average 20 a day smoker does this repetitive action anything up to 300 times a day.

The First Time You Started Smoking

Page 20: Quit Smoking Seminar

Just like driving a car the habit becomes ingrained in your unconscious mind

Unfortunately many people get nervous, shaky, irritable, short tempered or agitated when they

don’t have a cigarette.

Therefore it is a NERVOUS HABIT and withdrawals are psychological!

The Habit Becomes Ingrained Into Your Unconscious Mind !!!

Page 21: Quit Smoking Seminar

Your Unconscious Mind

Page 22: Quit Smoking Seminar

Is the part of your mind that you’re not aware of right now

It’ associated with the part of your brain that keeps you breathing, keeps your heart beating and

regulates bodily functions.

The PRIME DIRECTIVE of your UNCONSCIOUS mind is to PROTECT you and keep you feeling

good.

Your Unconscious Mind

Page 23: Quit Smoking Seminar

The Prime Directive is Unconscious!

If you accidentally place your hand on a hot stove element the hand automatically recoils.

There is no thinking process involved , no internal dialogue – “oh, this is very hot, it’s

burning me, I’d better take my hand off.”

Understanding the Prime Directive

Page 24: Quit Smoking Seminar

When you had your first draw on a cigarette you probably coughed. The coughing was unconscious, a reflex

action, your body wanted to expel the smoke and protect you from damage.

However you persisted and created a tolerance.

Understanding the Prime Directive

Page 25: Quit Smoking Seminar

Then you persisted. You developed and established your smoking habit.

Your unconscious mind became tricked to prompt or urge you to have

a cigarette because you didn’t feel “good” until you had one.

Your Unconscious Mind

Page 26: Quit Smoking Seminar

What Smokers Lungs Look Like

Page 27: Quit Smoking Seminar

Everyone was born a non-smoker.

Then you taught yourself to smoke. You persisted until the habit was established.

The good news is that you can now use your persistence to become a non-smoker again and

to remain a non-smoker, breathing fresh air for the rest of your life.

The Benefit of Persistence

Page 28: Quit Smoking Seminar

All you have to do now is decide that you will be a non-smoker again

Hypnotherapy will help you commit to your decision.

Hypnotherapy will help to make you feel good about your decision.

Hypnotherapy will help you to remain a non-smoker for life

Hypnotherapy will help your unconscious mind to reset and maintain the prime directive.

Hypnotherapy and the Prime Directive

Page 29: Quit Smoking Seminar

After three months of not smoking, your lung capacity can increase by 30 %

After a few years your risk of heart disease can reduce by 50%

Your breath will smell fresher and your skin will look healthier

Your lungs will excrete toxins when you cough up phlegm

Here is What You can Expect After Quitting!

Page 30: Quit Smoking Seminar

“I’m getting on really well and haven’t needed the patches and handle any thoughts about cigarettes really well. This is the best I’ve felt about quitting so thank you.” Brittany – Bondi

” I had stopped smoking previously but kept starting again. After one session with Alfred I now know I will never start again” Peter–Coogee

“My husband and I were both smokers, he was worse than me. I could stop if there were no cigarettes around, but he would go and buy some then I would smoke again too. We decided

to invest in our health and both had hypnotherapy. It was the best investment we ever made.” Alana – Wisemans Ferry

“No matter how determined I was, every time I went for drinks with the boys, I would light up again and feel rotten the next day. Alfred was able to help me break through this

pattern” Alex – Bondi

“I went to Alfred for his knowledge and skills to help me stop smoking. Every step of the process was challenging for me but with Alfred’s great help and his ability to keep me

involved was inspiring. I was impressed with his knowledge, sensitivity and professionalism. The best part of all this I am now a non-smoker and only breathe fresh

air!”Joanna – Randwick
