Hi soon to be non smoker
So what is special about quitting smoking on the sunshine Coast? In truth nothing, but if that’s where you live then it is very important to you. It may even be easier to quit here than in some places in the world.
Imagine you were in a country where most people smoke, and it’s right in your face at work, on transport and even where you eat.
Or perhaps in the long cold miserable Scandinavian winters, with those long nights spent at home.
Let alone in one of the worlds many war zones or refugee camps, or natural disaster areas.
In fact as far as support, anti-smoking sentiment and access to services, quitting on the Sunshine is probably as good as it gets.
Of course the core issue is that you quit and not where you are. It’s all too easy to make excuses like too busy, or too stressed, or some event is coming up, or the cat’s sick, but these are just delaying tactics.
And for many things in life delaying isn’t an issue, but for you every cigarette is a problem, and a step closer to a serious issue.
The average person smokes 20 per day, depending on your brand of choice and where you buy them you will pay between $7,000 and $9,000 per year. Many of my clients have smoked for at least 20 years.
If we average out the price that’s about $70,000 to $90,000 spent attacking their lungs. There is no doubt about the risks of smoking, and the possible consequences.
Smoking doesn’t relieve stress, it makes it worse. Nicotine causes more release of adrenalin and cortisol, you hormones of stress. So if you smoke to relieve anxiety or stress, you are making your situation worse, not better
Smoking doesn’t cause weight loss. There are just as many overweight smokers as skinny smokers. Plus attacking your major fat burning organ, the live with toxic chemicals, isn’t likely to make it work better for you.
Smoking has never been more expensive, more anti-social or more likely to get you bumped to the bottom of the list for major surgery.
That’s enough bad news. The good news is that you can quit, and I can help you. I use a combination of conscious and unconscious strategies to ensure your success. I also do it over three sessions at a fixed cost.
This gives us plenty of opportunity to dig out even the deepest connections to smoking and to set you up nicely for long term success.
