But so many smokers wake up Monday morning and decide to go cold turkey which is like jumping into the unknown without a parachute. For most they are lighting up again that week having suffered and struggled and annoyed a lot of people around them.
There is a better way. The key is a series of small changes which lead to a big change, but this time you are lowered gently by parachute onto a mound of marshmallows when you arrive at your goal of being a non-smoker.
Step one is to make a firm decision to quit and set a firm date. It's best to set this date no more than two weeks away.
Next is to make your hypnosis appointment, and put it on all your calendars.
The time in between is important. You can cut down if that works without creating too much stress. One way is to delay each cigarette by just 10 minutes. If you smoke 20 per day you have delayed by 200 minutes.
In reality you have reduced your number of smokes by 5 by just implementing a small delay. Now you only have to deal with quitting 15. You will find this easier each day and perhaps in the second week you may cut back a little more.
It's important not to stress yourself over cutting back. It's of no benefit to you to force this.
You will be given some tasks to do before your quit session, such as watch a couple of short videos, these more small steps, the things you will discover will help ready you to quit and also to realise that some of the reasons you smoke are very much working against what you are trying to achieve.
The next small step is to show up for your appointment and be on time. This may seem obvious but thinking of your drive to your session and walking in as a part of the process is important.
It's like you are ticking off boxes as you go.
