Well while you are waiting for your first appointment you can fully expect a battle to rage inside you and there will be a huge urge not to show up. You mind will be running with nicotine driven thoughts like ‘If this does not work I will have wasted all that money perhaps I should just keep smoking’, or the ever popular ‘I will get fat if I quit’. Rest assured you are not alone in this battle for control of yourself. Nicotine is an addictive drug just like Heroin and as Heroin drives the junkies to do things they regret later and so does Nicotine everyday you are addicted.

The addiction to Nicotine is very powerful. In fact it is so powerful that only 60% of the people actually show up for their first appointment. This percentage is typical for any type of smoking cessation program hypnosis or not. If there is a financial incentive to quit smoking, people are more motivated to finish the program. Former smokers will eventually get their money back. People that choose to continue to smoke will have just wasted all that money.

If you are a smoker, the nicotine will find any excuse no matter how absurd it is not to quit. If you don't agree with the method, or are joking about it, the nicotine is controlling you. Take a good look around you, people are watching you.

If you understand and agree with the method then you are in control.

If a Smoking client is more than 15 minutes late for their first appointment I will call them asking them where they are.
Here are some excuses I have heard. You may laugh but they are actually true. All of them never showed even when rescheduled.

I had to do my nails. (Priorities?)

I thought it was tomorrow. (I always text, E-mail, or call the day before to confirm their appointment.)

My mother is sick. (Her mother lives over 10 hours away with her father.)

My dog made a mess on the carpet. (That should take 5 minutes to clean. What did he eat?)

I got lost. (He lived 2 blocks away from my office.)

My car had a flat tire. (I rescheduled 2 times and he still did not show up.)

This message was on my answering machine.
 "My boss called and I have to go in early today." (I called 3 hours later to leave a message to reschedule, he was at home.)

I was up coughing all night and I did not get a goods night sleep. (I wonder why?)

My bird is sick. (Yes smoke can make your bird sick too.)

My son is sick. (Her son was 35 years old at the time and married.)

I had another appointment I forgot about. (Lunch with a friend.)

There was a sale at the store. (I actually saw her pull in then out of my parking lot.)

I am too busy to make time. (This is the most common excuse.)

I broke my nail. (So?)

I did not have a new dress for my appointment. (No comment!)

I knew I would be 5 minutes late so I did not even bother going. (This took guts to say.)

 

After people have started the program, the most common thing I hear is it was much easer than expected and wondered why they did not do this first. The answer is simple, Hypnotherapy and Stage hypnosis are not the same. Many people have a misconception about hypnotherapy and that misconception kept them away.

Just to be fair we should let nicotine have a few words in it's defense.
