Wil Langford, R. Hy. Clinical Hypnotherapist say in one of his articles:
As a clinical hypnotherapist I have heard many stories and seen my share of sad dramas. One of the saddest by far was watching people kill themselves with addictions and lifestyles that got the best of them. I have changed the names of the following people and a few minor details to protect the privacy of the ones involved, but this is a true story.

Anna was a 67 year old woman who had smoked for most of her adult life. She presented as an overweight lady who didn't exactly appear to be the picture of health. She was still wheezing from the exertion of walking from my waiting room into my office and her skin had a grayish tinge to it.

"She is killing herself," Stephanie told me. " ( Anna's daughter)
I want you to make her stop smoking."

I wanted Anna to stop smoking, too, but the problem is, no matter who wanted Anna to quit smoking, the only person that really mattered in that equation was Anna herself. I knew I had to ask and I suspected the answer would be disappointing, but everyone I ever treated or will treat gets the same level of service, I give them my best and let them have as much chance of success as they will allow themselves. So I asked the question

"Anna, do you want to quit smoking"

There was a hesitation and silence filled the room. I believe Stephanie actually held her breath waiting for the answer, though I suspect that she knew what it would be.

Finally, Anna answered,

"No."

One of the most effective ways to motivate yourself to quit smoking is by understanding the reasons why you should do so. The first reason why you should quit smoking is that it negatively affects your physical appearance.
Smoking sometimes happens to be the root cause of all bad habits. For any smoker the decision to quit the habit will be a painful one.

The nicotine withdrawal symptoms are extremely uncomfortable, physically and emotionally. It is easier for many to simply keep smoking than to go through the withdrawal process.

Fortunately, there are methods available that can ease the discomfort of withdrawal.

You must be motivated to quit if you are to be successful. Once you have made the decision to quit, the next step is to find a method that shortens or reduces the withdrawal phase. This is highly favorable to quitting cold turkey , which only has a success rate of approximately 3%. This is the main reason why many smokers fail at the attempt to quit.

Are you dreading the uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms that accompany smoking? Did you know that if you quit NOW you gain many significant benefits to your health and well-being? Change is good, and it is never too late.
