The most severe case of nicotine dependence, with whom I have ever encountered

Maybe I should start with the proof of its competence. No, I'm not a doctor nor a psychiatrist, but we are interested in the field of knowledge can be a professional. Thirty-three years of my life I lived as a heavy smoker. In recent years, before quitting, I smoked no less than sixty cigarettes a day, and in particularly difficult times - up to hundreds.
During his life, I made a lot of attempts to quit smoking. Once I even did not smoke six months, but about continuing to climb the walls, still kept close to those who smoke, trying to catch the smell of tobacco, are still preferred to travel in the carriages for smokers.
In terms of health for most smokers, the problem is as follows: "I'll give up if I smoke before it happens to me?" I've already reached the stage when he became convinced that smoking kills me. I felt a constant headache, accompanied by endless coughing. I felt a continuous pulsation in the vein that passes vertically in the center of the forehead, and sincerely believed that at any moment in my head may burst blood vessels, and I'll die of a brain hemorrhage. This bothered me, but did not stop.
I reached a stage where it has stopped even trying to quit. Not because it got so much pleasure from smoking. During a period of time, most smokers suffer from the illusion that enjoy casual cigarette, but I'm such a mistake has never suffered. I always hated the taste and smell of cigarettes, but believed that they help me relax. They gave me the courage and confidence, and always, when I tried to quit smoking, became unhappy and could not imagine a life full of pleasures, no cigarettes.
In the end, his wife sent me to a hypnotherapist. I must admit that it is always skeptical of hypnosis, anything about him at that time not knowing. I imagined a man like Svengali (1), with piercing eyes and swinging pendulum. I had all the usual illusion of smoking, which is every smoker, except for one: I knew that I - not weak-willed person. I fully control all aspects of his life, but cigarettes have ruled over me. I thought that hypnosis involves violence against the will, and, although it did not prevent what is happening (like most smokers, I really wanted to quit), but I believe that nobody can fool me and prove that the demand for smoking, I have no .
The session was a waste of time. Hypnotherapist tried to force me to raise their hands and do various other things. It turned out that nothing really happens: I did not lose consciousness, did not sink into a trance (at least, did not think that this has happened). And yet I not only quit smoking after a session of hypnosis, but concluded that this process (including the period of Unlearning) - pleasant.
Now, before you tear up and will run to the hypnotherapist, let me clarify something. Hypnotherapy - a means of communication. Receiving the wrong message, you do not quit. I do not want to criticize a doctor, which asked for advice, because if he did not, then I'd be dead by now. But it all happened despite, not because of it. I also do not want to seem the aggressor in hypnotherapy, on the contrary, I use it as part of the consultations I have conducted. Hypnotherapy - the power of suggestion, with the powerful force that can be used both for the benefit and harm. Never call your hypnotherapist if he was not recommended you to someone whom you respect and whom you believe.
During all those terrible years when I was a smoker, I felt that my life depends on cigarettes.
I was ready to die rather than do without them. Today, people ask me whether I happen someday strange pains. My answer is: never, never, never! Rather, I have them no more, and I live a wonderful life. If I died from smoking, I would, of course, is not complaining. I was very happy, though the most surprising thing that happened to me in life - freedom from the nightmare, from the bondage that forces me to go through life, systematically destroying your body and paying a fortune for this dubious privilege tion.
Let me from the beginning to dot the «i»: I - not a mystical figure. I do not believe in witches or fairies. I'm quite skeptical mind, but what happened to me, I can not be interpreted otherwise than as a magic. I began to read up everything about hypnosis and smoking. It seemed that nothing out of reading can not explain the miracle happened. Why this time to quit smoking was so easy, ridiculously easy, unless earlier it was accompanied by weeks of black depression?
In fact, to deal with all this, it took me a long time, mainly because I went up to the case properly. I tried to find out why quitting was so easy, while the main problem was to try to explain the reason for heavy smokers to quit. Smokers tell of the terrible torments of the period of Unlearning, but looking back and trying to remember their terrible suffering, I am convinced that they were not. I had no physical pain. The incident took place only in the mind.
Currently I am always busy helping people get rid of this habit. And it is quite possible, I have helped heal thousands of smokers. I would immediately highlight the main thing: the incorrigible smokers do not exist. So far have not met anyone, who would also strongly addicted to smoking (or, rather, believed that he had the same strong dependence), as I am. Anyone can not just quit, but make sure to do it - easily. Most of us makes smoking fear: the fear that life without cigarettes will never be as enjoyable, and fear feel deprived of something to go. When you quit, you only have one question: «Why I smoked for so long?»
And now, let me issue a warning. «Easy way» implies only two possible reasons for failure:
1. NESPOBNOST Follow the directions. Some annoying my categorical with respect to certain recommendations. For example, I urge you not to try to reduce the number of cigarettes smoked, or use substitutes (candy, gum, etc., especially - anything that contains nicotine). I am so categorical because they know well their subject. I do not deny that there are many people who managed to quit smoking through the use of such gimmicks, but they threw in spite of them, not because of them. There are people who can make love, standing on the mound, but this is not the most pleasant way for the entertainment. All that I tell you, has one goal: to make quitting easier and thus ensure success.
2. Failure to understand. Do not take everything on faith. In matters related to smoking, have questioned not only my words, but also their own views, and what they have learned your company. For example, those of you who think smoking is just a habit to ask yourself the question: «Why is easy to give up other habits, even pleasant, but this habit, whose awful taste, which flies us a lot of money, and finally, just to kill us - so hard to get rid of? »
