If you’ve ever tried to stop smoking, you know that it’s not easy. A few hours longer than you’re used to without a cigarette go by, and you find yourself fiending for a nicotine fix.
But the habit is not just physical, it’s mental too. Patches, gum, and lozenges can help lessen your nicotine cravings, but did you know that your dependence on Nicotine is actually due to a change in the brain’s chemical structure? It comes hooked into wanting more and more nicotine to make the effects last.
Worse, nicotine addiction also gets us to associate cigarettes with people, places, activities, and even moods. Without even realizing it, smokers develop habits of smoking while driving, talking on the phone, smoking when they wake up, etc. Normal everyday activities can trigger the urge to smoke.
The physical craving for nicotine that makes you want to keep smoking is one obstacle in the quitting process. The other, however, is a psychological craving to keep up routines that have become comforting and familiar.
Many smokers succeed in quitting through the use of nicotine patches, gums, and lozenges, only to relapse and pick up the deadly habit again. This is usually because the person is still mentally addicted.
So how do you break the mental addiction?
Research shows that the most effective way to break the habit once and for all is hypnotherapy. Sounds crazy, right? We thought so too, but studies from top universities around the world have repetedly shown that hypnosis is an effective method for quitting smoking. In fact, research shows it to be just as effective as nicotine replacement therapy (NRT).
