Still having ‘the odd one’?
I’ve been down in London for the last three days on a training course, and yesterday I picked up a copy of ‘Metro’ (the free newspaper available at all tube stations), to read on my journey home. As the train rushed through the darkened landscape, I spotted this little article tucked away in a corner of one of the pages that nobody ever reads:
“Smokers who light up once a day believe they have completely kicked their habit. 51% do not consider themselves smokers, despite having one a day, while 13% believe they have given up but admit to smoking the ‘odd one’. About 80% want to quit, and 57% keep their habit a secret from family and friends. They are most likely to say they are going to the shop or to see a friend when sneaking out for a crafty cigarette, a study by the Co-Operative Pharmacy found.”
Cognitive Hypnotherapy can be a very successful way of helping you to give up smoking for good. It’s usually a last resort for most people, and it’s often the one thing that can actually really work. So if your new year resolution to quit smoking hasn’t gone entirely to plan, and you are still having ‘the odd one’ (or two, or twenty a day…), why not give Cognitve Hypnotherapy a try? After all, you’re already an expert in knowing what doesn’t work – maybe this could be the difference that makes the difference in helping you be the succesful non-smoker that you want to be?
So if you really want to stop smoking, please do give me a call on 07794 595783, and we can have a free, confidential, no-obligation chat about how I may be able to help you. Alternatively you can email me at chloe@openmindhypnotherapy.co.uk. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Wow, I was surprise by those figures, 51% consider they have quit!

I gave up 5 years ago with Cognitive Hypnotherapy and it was the thing that convinced me how powerful this approach is. I was the most hardened smoker you could imagine; never given up, smoking since the age of 14 and didn’t believe it was possible. If I can do it anyone can!!
