Resolution Madness

THE HARDEST TIME TO QUIT!

It’s that time of the year again when many smokers who want to give up smoking choose to do the deed and banish the evil weed. We ask, is this the best time to do it?
Statistically 50% of New Year’s resolutions have been broken by the end of the first week. There is some very sound reasoning why this is the case and particularly with smoking. According to government figures only around 7% of smokers who rely on willpower will succeed in quitting on the first attempt. New Year’s Day is perceived by many to be a time to make a fresh start or turn over a new leaf, but in actual fact it’s quite probably the hardest time to quit smoking.

By the last week in December the days are at their shortest and cases of Seasonally affected Disorder (SAD) are coming to a peak and the cold is starting to bite. Christmas is a welcome fillip to the gloom with celebrations and indulgence being the order of the day. However as the year draws to a close, the festivities are over the decorations come down and the unwelcome credit card statement drops on the door mat, merriment can in some turn into less uplifting mood states. Add that to the still long dark nights at the coldest time of the year, it’s a recipe for a dose misery or worse a bout of depression. This is the time of the year when any coping strategies (tobacco, alcohol etc) would be most needed by those who have adopted these behaviours. Hardly the best time to consider quitting! However as stopping smoking is almost certainly the single best thing a smoker can do for their health, stopping at any time is most certainly a positive step. I recommend that should you decide that this is the time when you’re going to quit smoking then you really need the best advice about the easiest way to go about it. One thing is for sure if you rely on willpower alone then unless you now how to use it effectively, statistically there is around a 93% failure rate. In my book and CD I show you how to use your willpower effectively which alone can increase your willpower up to five times. This even without any other intervention would give you a statistical chance of success of around 35%, nearly double the success rate of the NHS stop smoking service!
You need not only get the best advice about how to use your willpower but also new coping strategies which can be installed using effective hypnotic intervention and NLP.( the change technique that is used by mind game TV personalities. These techniques are highly effective and work) All this gives you a far higher chance of success.

If you really want to quit smoking now, do yourself a favour and make it easy on yourself, use an effective method!

Have a very happy new year....
