Become a Non-Smoker

By Kristen Walewski, CHP

As you continue to relax… imagine waking up on a clear and crisp morning…

Breathe deeply as you take in a healing breath of the fresh morning air…

You are in a special place where you go for reflection and thinking about things

that are important to you… look around and notice how safe and comfortable you

feel in your special place... imagine that you have all the power… courage… and

determination to make decisions on how you want to live your life… here in this

place… maybe by the ocean… or in the woods… or high up in the mountains…

where every your special and safe place happens to be… you are there now and

you are thinking of changing some things in your life… you are thinking of

stopping your smoking habit… Relax deeply as you sink deeper and deeper into

relaxation

Pay close attention to the sound of my voice… Sink further and further down…

deeper and deeper… deeper down… all the way down… As you listen to the

sound of my voice, your mind concentrates on it…You are finding it easy for your

mind to concentrate… You are finding it easy to focus your attention… You are

able to concentrate at your work… you are able to concentrate at your play… It

makes you feel good and feel relaxed…

For when your mind is concentrating on other things, there is no room for smoking

to even get into it… When you become fatigued or tired, you can lie down for a

couple of minutes, go into a state of self-hypnosis and relax completely… Because

concentrating the mind does not make it tired… The mind becomes tired out of

confusion, not concentration… You have been confused about smoking… now

with your mind concentrating, with your attention focused… you now have clarity

in your thinking, you now have clarity about smoking… you now have clarity

about your goals… your goal is to choose to stop smoking… your goal is to choose

life.

Smoking has been a constant companion… yet in your heart…you know it is time

to move on to the next chapter in your life… the chapter… that does not include

smoking… you know you are capable of moving on… you know that all you have

to do is make a choice…. you know that it is okay to ask for help… you know that

this will be a journey… you know that every journey begins with a single step.

Smoking has become an unconscious activity for you… Smoking is now part of

your daily consciousness, you are fully aware of smoking… you are fully aware of

what that smoke does to your body, you are fully aware of how your smoking

affects the people around you…

You are loved… you are lovable… you are necessary… you are wanted… your

life mattes; life has chosen you… life wants you to choose to be here

You are ready to make the choice… you are ready to make the commitment… you

are ready to ask for help… you are ready to choose life… each and every day your

decision to change habits that are no longer serving you… you want to be

healthy… your decision grows stronger and stronger… your decision to move

forward with a new attitude toward smoking feels right… for many reasons… you

are now committed to this new direction… you are dedicated to moving forward

and taking action on your decision immediately

In a moment I’m going to ask you to repeat after me… I choose life… Say to

yourself… I have decided to quit smoking… I have finally made the decision that I

feel is the best decision for me… now I’m going to take action immediately… I’m

going to become a non-smoker beginning immediately

Once you’ve made the decision to become a non-smoker… each breath you take

infuses you with a deep feeling of peace…you move through the world with a deep

sense of tranquility… and confidence…You feel certain that you can share this

sense of peace with every person you encounter… you feel certain you can accept

all the peace with every person you encounter... you feel certain you can accept all

the peace and guidance that those you encounter have to offer you…




- 6 -

Now that you have made the choice to become a non-smoker… you feel a great

sense of relief… and pride that you will now be experiencing the world in this new

healthier way… as you continue through your day… this feeling of confidence

grows… you feel great serenity knowing you have released yourself from those old

patterns… habits and behaviors that no longer serve you… you are embracing this

new healthy lifestyle that has so much to offer you.

Now that you are a non-smoker… it is as if all your senses are heightened… As

you breathe in you can smell the lush green of the trees... and taste the sweetness

they bring to the air… Trees are steadfast and patient… they have taken may years

to grow to the size they are now… It’s as though you have breathed in that sense of

peace and serenity… and as you slowly exhale you are sharing your strength and

patience with the world…

You have made this wise and healthy decision to become a non-smoker… you feel

energized and free… With every new and healing breath out… You are now ready

to make the commitment… the commitment to begin the journey… the journey to

stop smoking… the journey to choose to be a non-smoker… the journey to choose

freedom … choosing health and choosing life…

You look around at your special place... where you come to for thinking and

contemplating important things in your life… You realize that once again you have

come to this place and made an important decision… one that will affect you in

many positive ways… You feel the decision to quit smoking is the right decision

for you

Now I’m going to give you a short period of silence during which each one of

those suggestions will take complete and thorough effect upon you, sealing

themselves into the deepest part of your subconscious mind and reinforcing

themselves over and over again... Remember… you are choosing life and living

your life in a new way… once the decision is made and you are committed…you

begin to take action.

Change the Habit - Generic

By Patricia Hostetler, CHP

(A generic script for getting rid of a habit, after you have discussed the habit

and decided what the client will do instead of the habit)

You have decided to give up the habit... This habit has been with you for a while…

You want to get rid of that habit ... You want to stop that habit and give that old

habit up for good.

You are ready for something new… No longer bothered by that habit, you are

ready to get rid of it … So now you are going to let go of the habit and make it go

away.

So, I'd like you to imagine a large white plastic bag with a drawstring around the

top lying at your feet… This bag is open and ready to fill… Now imagine, see the

habit you want to rid yourself of as a color… imagine your habit a color, any color,

and stuff that colored habit in the bag… That's right gets rid of it.... Bag it up...

Now close up the bag with the drawstring… Now, as you look around, imagine

that you see, notice 15 large colored helium filled balloons all tied together.

…These balloons are lovely colors red, green, blue, yellow, every color of the

rainbow. Now tie these lovely balloons to the drawstring on the bag with your

habit inside of it… and let go of the balloons. Imagine, watching the balloons

carrying the bag filled with the old habit up, up, and away…

Watch the bag become smaller and smaller as the balloons carry the bag with the

habit in it, further and further away. Watch it get further and further away ...

smaller and smaller… until it disappears …and is gone. Feel the relief. It feels

good. The old habit is gone… it's gone. Now you have a new thing to do instead

of the habit. You are free... Free to choose... Free... Free... Free to choose

Chewing Tobacco, Quitting

By Joshua Magalich, CHT

You are very relaxed…. So relaxed that everything I say to you gets implanted in

to your subconscious mind many times stronger than any other suggestions…

As you’re relaxing, I want you to imagine yourself tobacco free… You have no

urge at all to opening up a can of chewing tobacco and taking a “dip”…

See yourself getting up each morning and knowing that you do not have to reach

out to get a can of chewing tobacco… Take a deep breathe through your nose…

The smell of chewing tobacco is not there … only fresh air…

Now I want you to imagine yourself going through your day doing whatever you

would be doing tobacco free. Imagine how great you feel … How proud you feel

…

Imagine yourself laying there in bed before you go to sleep, thinking about your

chewing tobacco free day... Recap all the compliments you received throughout

the day just because you did not have a chew all day…

Think about your (kids/wife/girlfriend/family/friends) and the smiles they have on

their faces when they see your accomplishment…. You like this feeling. You feel

as if your determination has made you a better person… a healthier person.

You believe in yourself now that you have the will to do this every day… tobacco

free... Each day you wake up, you will feel healthier…

You are not a non-chewer. You are now successful.

Chewing Tobacco containers in the house, car, and anywhere you spend leisure

time at…

notice it anymore… When or if you ever get the urge… You will feel relaxed…

your fingers will be relaxed, and you will not reach for Chewing Tobacco.

You have made a decision to not Chew Tobacco… You find it easier and easier

to stop Chewing Tobacco… You will feel freer of the desire to Chew Tobacco as

each day passes…

Cigarette Funeral

By Pierre Benoit, CHP

You are now a non-smoker and it is time to say a final goodbye. You know this is

the time to do so as you enter the funeral home… As you do you notice, at the back

of the room, a coffin... and as you make your way to the coffin, you notice the

people around you…

You recognize some people that you had been sharing this old habit with. Some

you have influenced in dropping this old, useless, unhealthy habit of smoking...

And some that still smoke cigarettes.

The closer and closer you get to the coffin, you feel and sense that this is truly the

end of a bad habit... And you feel proud of yourself at being a non-smoker now and

for the rest of your life…

As you get to the coffin, you notice the cigarette laying there… It had been a part

of your life long enough and you take a moment to tell it what you need to say to it

for a last time…

(PAUSE one minute)

Now that you have said what needed to be said, the coffin gets closed… You

accompany it to the incinerator and as it gets closer to the incinerator, you feel this

healthy feeling within you getting stronger and stronger!

As the coffin completely burns, you know and feel that you are completely free to

be a non-smoker for the rest of your life…

Feel your lungs breathing clean, fresh air as you get out of the funeral home... You

feel proud of yourself at having found this freedom of living the long and healthy

life that lies ahead.

By Judy Lungu, CHP

(Induction)

Make yourself comfortable... Place your hands on your lap, legs out straight not

crossing your legs or ankles and find a position that you feel most relaxed and

comfortable.

Letting all your cares and worries go... and at this moment in time... Nothing

matters... As you switch off your thoughts... And just allow this time for yourself...

so that you can unwind completely... And as you begin to feel more and more

relaxed... Letting go of any worries or problems that may be on your mind ...You

quiet special time to enjoy and relax in peace and solitude...you can let your mind

wander freely, there is no need to fight any thoughts... As they will soon drift out

of your mind as you begin to relax…

Now … I would like you to take a few deep breaths ... Slowly filling your lungs

with fresh air... And as you breathe out..... I want you to think that you are relaxing

more and more each time...

relaxed... More and more comfortable… completely safe and secure... You will

feel your whole body sinking deeper and deeper into your chair as your body

becomes more and more relaxed your whole body becomes limp and heavy...

From the top of your head... to the tips of your toes...

Your eyelids have become very heavy... (and may even twitch at this moment... As

you let go of any tension in your body...) And all the muscles in your jaw have

become limp and relaxed releasing any tensions...As your jaw sinks down... And

your tongue rests gently on the bottom of your mouth... you are beginning to drift

down deeper and deeper... Feeling more and more relaxed with every word I

speak...

As this wave of relaxation spreads down your neck ...soothing all the muscles there

and slowly across your shoulders... it continues to flow all the way down your arms

to your fingertips... You may feel a tingling sensation in your fingertips... As your

arms grow as heavy and become limp... you soon become aware of a growing

peaceful feeling inside... A feeling of calmness and contentment... As you feel

every muscle in your chest and abdomen... Become limp and relaxed... So too this

feeling continues to flow into all the muscles in your back allowing them to

completely relax you mat imagine that you have just received a gentle relaxing

body massage...

as you drift down deeper and deeper relaxed... You let this wave of relaxation

spread all the way down your legs... So that your legs are now becoming heavier

and heavier ... as every muscle in your legs becomes limp and relaxed right down

to your feet and toes, heavy and relaxed so your whole body now feels completely

relaxed from the top of your head.....To the tips of your toes...

the background... As you begin your journey into your own private inner world...

let go... Releasing any negative thoughts or feelings … any sounds around you... or

in the distance... Will fade into the background........ So that the only sound that

all times.... Guiding you to a wonderful place where you will travel, a wonderland

peaceful place that’s your own private garden of Eden ... And... When you arrive at

this special place, you will feel a sensation of happiness, safety and comfort where

you can smell their wonderful aroma, see the brilliant colors and sense the

tranquility of this special place… if I were to ask you on a scale of 1 to 20… one

being not relaxed and 20 being totally relaxed, what number would you choose?

Now I want you to imagine that you have walked through this field of beautiful

flowers and have now reached a set of stairs… I am going to walk you down the

stairs counting each step as we go deeper and deeper… as we go down each step,

you will feel all the unnecessary the tension is going out of your body... and your

body... Will continue to sink down... Becoming more and more limp ... More and

more relaxed... And more and more comfortable too...

Just feel yourself relaxing as we go down each step deeper and deeper into

relaxation, 20....19.....18.......17......16..... Deeper and deeper now

.......15.....14....deeper.....13..... Etc. now you are feeling totally Relaxed and at

peace... calm and contented... As you continue to drift down... Really enjoying this

wonderful feeling of complete safety and complete relaxation...

aware of your body at all... This is ok for now as you continue to become deeper

Smoking Cessation – Creating a New Identity

By Nancy Zahra Love, CHP

You can be very happy for your decision to see me for quitting smoking as this

represents one of the smartest things you can do for a better present and future life.

So, today is the day you have decided to become a non-smoker, and this will be

extremely easy for you to achieve. You have so many reasons to take this excellent

opportunity to improve your life on every level…

Taking several deep breaths, notice the cool air entering thru your nostrils, and

swirling around inside, spreading fresh, clean air, like a loving hug, or a kiss from

spirit to every cell and tissue in your body... Air is a powerful cleanser, the lungs

and skin are two of the largest organs in your body... With each breath it's as if you

are bathing your tissues in healing light and love. In addition to breathing thru your

lungs you are also breathing thru your skin… Your skin and lungs, as well as your

heart thank you for cleaning up your air quality and environment, their gratitude

knows no bounds.

Today you are creating a new identity; repeat after me, "I am a NON-SMOKER",

"My self-image, will power, and resolve to be healthier is much, much stronger

than any brief, passing thoughts of smoking"... "Just thinking of smoking now is

almost revolting to me"… "I remind myself frequently how great I feel as a NON-

SMOKER"…"I enjoy so many benefits, too many to list, including, easier

breathing, moving, eating, and sleeping"… "I now no longer have any reason to

smoke"… “I feel so clean and clear, inside and out!"

You certainly can appreciate the countless ways your quality of life will change for

the better; your health and circulation will dramatically respond to quitting,

rewarding you with increased sexual function and pleasure almost right away…

easier deep breathing and more enjoyable exercise will be another benefit… Your

sense of smell and taste will get stronger, allowing you much more enjoyment

from your food… Your environment will be so much cleaner and easier to clean,

less often… You will save tons of money, have less reason to need medical

treatment down the road… live longer… and help those among family and friends

who have had to breathe second-hand smoke all these years… Sharing with others

inspires you to reap another benefit of serving others by helping them to quit

smoking as well…




- 17 -

See yourself as the healthier you… sharing your active life with other healthy

people; enjoying exercise… socializing… and outdoor activities - smoke-free…

Imagine yourself acting as a mentor for friends, family, neighbors, younger, or

older folks who admire your healthy resolve… Recognize the immense personal

power you demonstrate each day as you continue to set a wonderful example for

others… Realize how much they look up to you and appreciate your helpful

example.

You are so much happier now, knowing you have surpassed this obstacle in your

life… Feeling better and better every day… you need to tell others and share your

amazement at how easy it is… You know it can be this easy for others too... "I am

so happy to share my well-being and this simple solution with other smokers,

encouraging them to find similar results"… "I wish to help many to quit smoking,

creating a beautiful ripple of healing in the world"… "I easily and comfortably

work… sit… or play alongside others who smoke, and feel just fine"… "I feel

stronger every day… knowing my health will steadily improve and increase

benefits to me over my longer lifespan"...

Repeat after me: "Every day, in every way, I'm getting better and better."… You

constantly remember, and repeat to yourself often I remind myself often of my

accomplishment, and confirm my resolve; I am a NON-SMOKER!"… "Being a

non-smoker is the best thing I have ever done… for myself… as well as for

others".

Smoking Cessation - I am Smoke Free

By Brandon M. Howe, CHP

As you concentrate… You become aware now that you’re releasing all of the

energy that caused you to smoke, forever… As you now have decided to remain

smoke-free permanently… You feel proud of yourself… You truly enjoy the

feeling of the total freedom you get – from knowing that you are now and forever a

non-smoker… You feel so proud of yourself – now that you’ve chosen life over

death… You’ve chosen freedom over slavery… You’ve chosen vibrant health over

being sickly and weak…

You have a great new respect for your body… Your strongest desire is lively

health…

Your lungs are now healthier – and stronger – and they are becoming better

conditioned on a daily basis… Your heart – and your other primary organs that

help you sustain health – thank you, for giving them the opportunity to create the

strength and energy you need to thoroughly enjoy living your healthy life… Since

you respect your lungs and your heart – you notice on a daily basis that it is now

easier to breathe… And your body cleanses itself every single day – Getting rid of

all the tar, nicotine, and chemicals that have built up over time – repairing itself

from the years of damage… You notice that as every day goes by – you find

yourself becoming stronger, healthier, and more powerful… You’ve chosen health

over sickness… Strength over weakness - and you are happy… You’re happy,

relaxed, confident and feeling powerful…

You’ve broken the chains that bound you… You are free at last… Celebrate life –

you are completely free, for life… You are now one of the proud members of the

group of people who are strong enough, smart enough, and able to become and to

remain a non-smoker… You’ve made the final decision to now become smoke-

free, permanently…

Some people quit smoking – only to start again… You realize that - that’s not

you… You have chosen to become a non-smoker, forever… When people ask you

if you’d like a cigarette…you simply say – “No thanks, I’m smoke-free!”… Every

time you say “I am smoke-free” – it reinforces on an unconscious level your

strength and power… When you say “I am smoke-free” – it carves into your




- 19 -

subconscious mind the healthy, new program that is creating a better life for

yourself and those around you… You’ve made the final decision that you are now

and forever a confirmed non-smoker… Smoke-free for the rest of your life… And

you’re proud… You feel really good about yourself… You feel better than you’ve

felt for years… You’re outrageously proud of yourself… Proud of your ability to

step up – out of that stinking hole that you used to be in – and up into the fresh,

clean air…

You truly enjoy breathing clean air… The fresh, clean air that is the natural

stimulant - to your body, your lungs, and your health… This is the alteration that

your lungs and your body have been gasping for… That your whole being has been

screaming out for… And that your heart has been longing for…

Now you’ve made it… Your lungs welcome the fresh air that they now receive…

Your heart rejoices - getting the undiluted oxygen that it needs to give you the

energy, to be more productive in your life… You’re proud of your ability to have

conquered an unnatural and destructive habit… You know that staying smoke free

will give you a whole lot more of everything — more energy, better performance,

better looks, more money in your pocket, and, in the long run, more life to live…

Just relax… and go deeper – into this extremely peaceful and awesome state of

mind… These long deep breaths make you feel perfect in every way… Breathe in

right now… Now breathe out…

At least once every half-hour - you stop whatever you’re doing, just for a moment

or two, and you take a few long, deep breaths… Breathe in now – hold it in…

Relax your body all over… Think the words, “I am smoke-free”… Release that

breath now… Breathe in a longer, deeper relaxation, again… Think these words -

“I am smoke-free”… Now exhale - and as you do, you feel fantastic, you feel

powerful… This is a wonderful feeling… Take one last, long, deep breath – even

deeper than before… Hold it in for as long as possible… When you finally let it

out, think those same words again - “I am smoke-free”…

As you think these words – a wave of relaxation goes from the tip-top of your head

to the tips of your toes… You feel awesome all over… Now relax even more while

these beneficial visions and programs, concepts and ideas make a deep and lasting

impression upon your unconscious mind… Always to remain… To be recalled the

moment you say the words “I am smoke-free”… Take a deep breath now – place

your hand on your chest and feel your lungs fill up… Breathe out – and say the




- 20 -

words “I am smoke-free”… Breathe deeply, relax, breathe out and say the words “I

am smoke-free”…

Smoking Cessation – Feel-Good Mirror

By F. Phillips, CHP

Congratulations, you have decided to quit smoking and today is the day and

now is the moment. Take a deep breath---- exhale, and relax. With every breath you

feel better and better, smooth breathing, more energy. Take a deep breath and

exhale and relax.

With each breath the desire for cigarettes disappears, more and more.

Any withdraw evaporates quickly and easily keeping you calm and relaxed.

Take a deep breath, exhale and relax. Imagine standing in front of a mirror, you

see yourself a happy healthy former smoker, grateful that cigarettes have lost their

power over you in every way.

Take a deep breath exhale and relax, you feel fantastic and proud of yourself

that smoking is a thing of the past and you are now and forever a former smoker.

Take a deep breath exhale and relax. When you are standing the hand that used

to smoke will relax and be content in your pocket. When you are sitting that hand

will calmly pick up something close and be content.

Take a deep breath exhale and relax. When you are near smoking and you smell

or see it, you think to yourself, “I used to smoke and now I don’t”, with a calm and

peaceful mood. The smell and the sight appear silly to you, and you are grateful for

all the new energy and focus you have now.

Take a deep breath exhale and relax. You find you enjoy water more than you

ever did before; in fact everything tastes and smells more robust. You especially

enjoy “cold” water and drink it often, imaging it clearing your system and making

you feel fantastic.

Smoking Cessation – Feeling Free and Energized

By Rhonda Armbrust, CHP

You have decided to quit smoking... As you relax and breathe deeply, you can

imagine yourself free and as you relax you can see yourself with more energy…

feeling healthy and happy because you have accomplished this and you feel

wonderful…

Now you are able to breathe deeply and cleanse your lungs... You are at peace

knowing you will live longer and be there for your loved ones... Imagine yourself

enjoying life without thinking about your previous habit… If you ever think about

your smoke when you smoke near them and that it is doing them harm (Repeat)

air (repeat) You will take three deep breaths of the mist and you will notice that

The Smoking Withdrawal Program

Smoking cessation (Helpful hints & Script)

By Rene A. Bastarache, CI

Smoking cessation is one of the most common topics addressed in

hypnotherapy today and probably one of the most effective.

Smoking cessation with hypnosis has a higher success ratio than any of the

physical means available on the market today if done properly, such as the gums,

pills and patches. The reason for this is that you are dealing with the strong

“subconscious mind” where permanent changes are made whereas with all the

“physical” products or programs available you are just dealing with the conscious

mind which as we know is very rebellious, driven by habit and negative in nature.

NOTE: Here are a few things that will help your client to remain a nonsmoker.

You will want to discuss the following with them on the phone prior to their

hypnosis session or in person once they arrive:

1. They have to get rid of any cigarettes or cigarette related paraphernalia that they

might have before they come to your session. If they are already at your session

then you should have them give you whatever they have on their person and to

immediately remove anything left at home upon arriving there. If they can call

home and have someone else remove it before they return that would be even

better so they do not have to have the added negative triggers upon arriving home.

It is important that they do not give their leftover smoke related materials to

friends or relatives. They must throw them out. By seeing these items (fancy

ashtrays etc.) at someone else’s house, it will send a very strong trigger (craving)

to the subconscious mind. Even in the case of cigarette lighters or matches, if they

used them at all for smoking, they must throw them out and can get new ones if

they desire to do so for lighting candles or other things around the house.




- 30 -

Sometimes your clients will complain that they had just bought two or three

brand new cartons of cigarettes and they do not want to throw them out because of

the cost, and they want to give them to friends. I respond to this by reminding

them that they are here to stop smoking because they realize the dangers of

smoking and how it is harming them. Then I asked them if they really want to hurt

their friends or relatives by giving them something that they know is bad for them.

Usually they will agree and throw even the new cartons away.

Another important thing is that if they throw them away, make sure it is not

someplace where they can go and get them again if they have a craving. It is best

to have someone else throw them away so they do not know where they are or to

bring them to your office and give them to you so you can discard them. It is not

beyond the average person to go digging in the trashcan to get their cigarettes back

if they are nearby.

2. The second thing they should do is every place in the house where they had an

ashtray, for the next week, they are to replace it with a glass of water. When they

return home, any time they walk by the area where the ashtray used to be, if there

is a strong craving, they are to take eight deep breaths, take a sip of water, and just

go about their business. By doing this they are replacing the negative habit of

smoking with a positive habit of drinking water. You’ll notice in the script that

there are suggestions made for drinking water. The purpose of this is to be a

replacement for smoking, since the mind prefers to replace habits rather than to

eliminate them and also it is so the client does not gain weight as a result of

quitting. Most people, once they quit smoking, whenever they have a craving,

would usually replace it with food, which is why they gain so much weight. By

replacing it with water, they will not gain weight and in fact the water will help

them to be healthier, and even helps with their complexion, which is a nice added

benefit.

3. It is also important to have them clean out the ashtray in their vehicle if they

used that for smoking. They should not just empty it but it should also be cleaned

out well so the car does not have the smell of cigarette.




- 31 -

One last thing that they should know is that if at any time they do have a

craving, they should give it at least two minutes before acting on it as they take

their deep breaths and some water then the craving will go away. The deep

breathing is essential to do as it increases the oxygen throughout the bloodstream

which will in turn relax and relieve them of the stress that they may be feeling at

that time.

Smoking Withdrawal Program - Initial Session


(NOTE: Determine how many weeks your program is going to be and which of

the sessions should be your first one according to how may cigarettes your client is

presently smoking. Read this script before that weeks’ script.)

You have decided to stop smoking…and the way you are going to stop smoking

through this program is simply by relaxing, and following my simple instructions

…that’s right, all you have to do to finally be a nonsmoker once and for all,

permanently is to just sit back, relax and follow my simple instructions…. by

following this program, no matter how many times you have tried to quit smoking

in the past you will finally be able to become a nonsmoker easily and permanently,

without withdrawals, without cravings and without gaining weight as a

substitution.

You have come to this decision, to become a nonsmoker for a very good reason,

perhaps even for many reasons. There are so many good reasons why people

decide to stop smoking. The most important one, of course, is that of added health

and life. You may have had a shortness of breath, a bad cough, loss of energy and

vitality. So you have made a wise decision to stop smoking, one that will bring

you added health and happiness to your life, not to mention the happiness of the

people that care about you. It is an important, positive step forward in your life.

There are many different reasons why people start smoking. Years ago before we

understood the health aspects of how harmful cigarette smoking is to your body,

people smoked for popularity, coolness and relaxation. Those were three of the

main reasons why people began smoking. However if you look at the reality of

those reasons now, we realize that smoking does not make you popular or cool as it

is not accepted in most public places, or social circles anymore. In fact if you are a

smoker most locations you must go outside to smoke, by yourself, away from

other people, and a designated smoking area, even in bad weather, and that is in no

way to be considered cool I think you would agree. As for the people who smoke

because they think it relaxes them… that could not be further from the truth … the

part of smoking that people think relaxes them … has nothing to do with the

cigarettes … but has to do with the deep breathing.

From now on if you need to relax, instead of breathing in cigarette smoke and




- 37 -

harming your body, try taking deep breaths of clean air. You will find that the

deep breathing is what relaxes you. Breathing in clean-air you will begin your

stress reduction for relaxation that you are looking for but you will not have the

harmful aspects of cigarette smoke. Smoking does not relax you, but it does just

the opposite. The cigarette smoke releases what they call flight or fright hormones

which does the same thing to your body as watching a scary movie... it also robs

your red blood cells of oxygen for as much as six hours from just one cigarette.

So as you can see, the reasons why most people started smoking do not exist

anymore. What you are left with now is simply a bad habit that you have not been

able to quit until this point.

Now you are able to quit that habit. Your powerful subconscious mind will help

you in every step of the way to be a nonsmoker by your quitting date. Because this

is what you want to do. No one has made this decision for you; you have made

this decision for yourself. Because you know that the reward that you will receive

will be added health, easier breathing, more energy, and ultimately a happier life.

What obstacles will you face on this journey? The only obstacles that stand in

your way are the ones that you place there. There are no obstacles because you are

giving this your 100% effort. Not 80% or 60%! But by giving at 100%, you are

making a commitment to win!

You have it within you right now, everything that you need to be a nonsmoker. I

am not putting anything new, or anything foreign in to you, all I am doing is giving

you suggestions to help you to do what you already know that you want to do.

Giving you the confidence and the realization that you can once again be in control

of what you put into your body. No longer will you allow anything negative to

control you, especially a little white piece of paper wrapped around tobacco. You

are now in control. If you think back far enough, you will see that there were

many years before you started this negative habit that you lived as a nonsmoker.

So there is your proof that you can do it, because you have. The sessions will help

you to restore yourself to years earlier, a healthier way of thinking. You are in

control, and will soon be able to take control… permanently… once and for all …

As I said earlier all that you need to do to finally be a nonsmoker once and for all,

permanently, is to follow my simple instructions…now this is one of the most

important messages I want you to understand…if you follow my




- 38 -

instructions….that I am giving here today…exactly as I’d give them to

you…without trying to change them…or skip any of them…you “WILL” be a

nonsmoker by your or quitting date! Now let me repeat that to you one more time

because it is a very powerful statement… If you follow my instructions…that I am

giving you here today…exactly as I give them to you…without trying to change

them…vary from them…or skip any of them…you “WILL” be a nonsmoker by

your quitting date!




- 39 -

Smoking Withdrawal Program - 35 cigarettes a day


(For someone who presently smokes 40 a day - 8 sessions)

Now here is the procedure of how you will stop smoking … starting tomorrow

morning, and each morning until we meet again next week, you’ll buy two brand-

new packs of cigarettes, a brand that you have never had before… you will open

one pack and take out 5 cigarettes, which will leave you 35 in the remaining packs.

You will then take those 5 cigarettes, and destroy them. Crush them up and get rid

of them. You do not want them. Do not save them or give them away…you must

destroy them.

This will leave you with your allotment of 35 cigarettes for the day…

You will then think to yourself, I find 35 cigarettes more than enough for me today.

Then you will mentally plan out your day keeping more cigarettes for the times

that you tend to smoke more.

Then you will simply go about your day…when you find that you want to have a

cigarette…you will first take a sip of water…and eight deep breaths… after you

have done that, if you still want to have the cigarette, just go ahead and smoke it,

you may find that you do not want the entire cigarettes, you may only smoke a few

puffs, you may only smoke half of the cigarette… once you find that you have had

enough simply put your cigarette out and continue about your business.

You must no longer carry your cigarettes on you. You must put them in an

inconvenient location at all times, such as in any bureau draw, the closet, upstairs

on a bookshelf, in your glove box or even the trunk of your car, just out of site. In

addition to this you must keep your ashtray out of site also. After each time you

use your ashtray you must clean up and put it away.

At the end of the day you have another procedure to do. Any leftover cigarettes

that may be in your packs that you did not smoke during the day, you must take

them out and destroy them, then get rid of them and also the empty packs. Do not

keep them for the following morning or through the night. Destroy them and get

rid of them.




- 40 -

Throughout your day you will not borrow from others or give out any of your

cigarettes. You have a certain allotment of cigarettes each day and any leftover

must be destroyed each evening.

You will be craving water more and more each day, that wonderful, crisp, clear,

refreshing water will taste great to you and will be the only thing that will really

quench your thirst. Water will be very helpful to you in every step of the way in

your goals and your added health.

(Add additional personalized suggestions or visualizations here.)

You will find 35 cigarettes more than enough for you each day. In fact you will

find it easy to smoke less than 35 cigarettes. You will be surprised at how well you

will do with this task and look forward with anticipation to your future goal of

being a non-smoker, once and for all, on your quitting date.




- 41 -




Starting tomorrow morning, and each morning until we meet again next week,

you’ll buy two brand-new packs of cigarettes, that you have never had before…

you will open one pack and take out 10 cigarettes, which will leave you 30 in the

remaining packs. You will then take those 10 cigarettes, and destroy them. Crush

them up and get rid of them. You do not want them. Do not carry them over to the

Smoking Withdrawal Program - Quitting day


(For someone who presently smokes 5 a day - 1 session)

You have made the decision to stop smoking and the way you are going to stop

smoking today, right now, is to simply relax. That’s right to sit back and relax and

with each breath that you take allow yourself to go deeper and deeper … Today is

your quitting date! … Today is the day that you have decided to become a

nonsmoker once and for all. To join the ranks of the nonsmokers … Today is the

day that you have chosen health…You have made a wise decision…and today you

will be rewarded for it by becoming a nonsmoker…You know many other people

who are nonsmokers…who enjoy life being smoke-free and today you are joining

them…

So take the time right now to mentally congratulate yourself for finally having

attained your goal…Take a few moments to think about the positive rewards that

you will attain from being a nonsmoker…Visualize yourself right now standing in

front of you as if you were watching yourself on a movie screen, being that

successful person ... Being a non-smoker! … See yourself doing the things you

use to do before but now doing them as a non-smoker…

I’m coming over to your (right or left) side now … (Tap them on the shoulder as

you say the following through this entire paragraph…) … and as I tap you on the

shoulder I want you to feel the confidence move through you that you have finally

attained this goal….you are a nonsmoker…you have stopped smoking…and you

will never smoke again… Give yourself a few moments now to congratulate

yourself and to feel good about your accomplishment…feel that confidence moved

through you…growing stronger and stronger….through every part of your

body…and as you feel it moving through you I want you to nod your head…yes!

Feel that confidence growing, showing you that you have made the right decision

by becoming a nonsmoker. You’ll find that when you are around people who

smoke that you will feel this confidence that you are a nonsmoker. So whether it

be early in the morning, afternoon, or evening …. at home, at work, out with your

friends or even driving … “everything” you do will be better without those

cigarettes from the past. You have finally done it … You have attained your goal to

become a nonsmoker … You have quit the habit … and begun a new healthy




- 54 -

lifestyle.

In order to remain a nonsmoker you must still give it 100%. In order to change

anything in your life and to keep it that way, you must give it 100%. 100% to win!

You will find water to be your ally especially through this initial transition period

over the next few days. Any time that you walk by an area that you may have

smoked before, if you begin to think about it, simply stop, take a sip of water, and

8 deep breaths as you have been doing, and you will be fine ...

You have replaced a bad habit with a good habit of drinking water. That

wonderful, clear, clean, refreshing water taste great to you. In addition, it will even

help to clean out your system quicker, it will help you to lose weight, and even

help you with your complexion. So as you can see water is very helpful, be sure to

have it nearby, anytime you want it.
