The Road to Success: As A Non-smoker.

Today you are standing at a fork in the road of your life. You have come to a decision point. Should you continue to do what you have been doing with regards to smoking?

You think about all the problems and concerns that smoking brings into your life - money, health, your heart, your children.

You think about how it has robbed you of money, energy, health, and having a sense of control over your life. The road on the left is a slow downward road. It is easy to take the Low Road. You could just coast down it. It is the path of doing what you have been doing for so long, by continuing to smoke.

But, it is a path of absolute misery. The road on the right goes upward. It will take a little effort to take the High Road. But, it is the way of freedom, health and life. It is the road of being in control of your life. It is the High Road To Success!

It is the road you have decided to take as a non-smoker. Look at the road on the left. It means carrying all of the problems associated with continuing to smoke with you even longer than you already have. Think of how bad smoking makes you feel. Really allow yourself to feel the weight of the burden of this self-destructive behavior.

Feel your desire to be free from all of the ill effects of hurting yourself by smoking and taking poison into your body.

I'm going to count from 1 to 3, and we are going to go down that low road of being out of control one more year. 1, 2, 3! There you are, after one more year of being out of control--of being miserable because you have continued to smoke cigarettes. You feel the weight of the absolute disappointment in yourself. You’re disgusted with yourself.

You notice the things that litter this painful way of living…..filthy ashtrays, burns in fabrics and furniture, and the smell! You see a road littered with dog ends,  and tobacco pouches. You see them and they make you feel this way……………the amount of tobacco pouches that are lying around, the way you feel about yourself for smoking, the feeling of how restricted your lungs will become, the hurt and pain you are causing for your loved ones……….

You see and remember others that you know, who smoke, maybe it is the ones that you have smoked with, or others that you have seen huddled together outside of buildings or stuck in the smoking shelter of clubs and other places, and the sight of them makes you feel sorry for them, they are stuck on the Low Road of being a smoker. (If it seems appropriate to the issue, point out the people associated with the problem, the bad influences.)

There is a mirror there down the low road and you see yourself and you ask yourself, "Am I pleased with myself? Am I happy to have another year of smoking cigarettes? Do I feel better having made this decision? Do I feel healthier or worse? Do I look and feel better about myself, or not? Do I feel smarter?"

Feel the disappointment you have in yourself for continuing to smoke for another year! I'm going to count from 1 to 3 and we are going to go down to the 5 year point on this road of a smoker to the year 2030

 1, 2, 3! There you are after 5 more years of being on the Low Road. Bring forth all of the effects of that choice! Really allow yourself to feel the effects of that decision. You feel unhealthy, worried about the effects of putting tobacco poison in your mouth everyday. Worried about the health implications. You feel hopeless. Now look around you and you see all of those tobacco pouches that you have bought, the dirty stinking ashtrays, the dog ends, the smell on your clothes and hands and face, the pains that you have started  getting in your chest and lungs, the dried skin, especially on your face and the many new wrinkles of damaged skin that have appeared and you hate it because it brings in all of these terrible feelings of feeling out of control, a victim of tobacco marketing. (Mention items associated with the problem, i.e., ashtrays, or candy wrappers, etc).

Those are the things that have done this to you. The things that you have done to yourself.

So, you can’t stand them anymore. Maybe you even hate the sight of them. You see others on the path, and they look terrible and they feel terrible. They are outsiders. Society is pushing them out, because they seem so ignorant or stubborn and they smell. No one wants them around their children, or to be around them socially or even at work because they smell. You may have smoked with some of these people. Are they really your friends? Do they really care about you? Again, you ask yourself, "Am I pleased with myself for smoking for 5 more years?

Do I have the right to do this to myself? Am I healthier for smoking? How is it affecting my life? Is my life better or worse? Do I feel smarter for smoking for an additional 5 years?"

And now I count from 1 to 3 and we move down to the 10-year point on this low road of continuing to the year 2035.

1, 2, 3! There you are after 10 more years of hurting yourself by smoking. Once again, bring forth all of the cumulative effects of that choice! The pains in your chest and lungs are very real now.

Really allow yourself to feel the effects of that decision, of continuing to smoke for 10 more years. You feel tired and really worried about your health. Are you ever going to make it to retirement? You feel more hopeless. Again, you look around you and you see all of the things that are associated with making you feel this way,  the dog ends, the tobacco pouches of tobacco poison in the form of cigarettes, the disgusting ashtrays, another few more teeth lost to gum disease through tobacco use. (mention items associated with the problem, i.e., ashtrays, or candy wrappers, etc).

Those are the things that have done this to you. So, you can’t stand them anymore. Maybe, you even hate the sight of them. Just looking at all that stuff associated with smoking makes you feel this way. You see the others who are on the road of being out of control with smoking. Maybe you wish you could help them. Some may be family or friends. Notice, how seeing them smoke makes you feel about cigarettes. There is a mirror there and you look at yourself. You ask yourself, "Am I pleased with myself for smoking for 10 more years? Is my life better or worse? Do I feel intelligent for being a smoker for an additional 10 years?" Really feel the consequences of remaining on this low but easy road.

As I count back from 5 to 1, you come all the way back to the beginning of the fork in the road. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. And, you feel better because none of that has to happen yet and it doesn't have to... You have decided not to let that happen to you.

You have decided to take the High Road of Success on the right! You know that it will take a little more effort, but now you know in your heart and mind that it is worth it. You have decided to start taking better care of yourself! In fact you have already left the old way by coming here today!

You are already taking your first steps toward freedom and success on the road on the right as a non-smoker for good! Let's see how this new decision to be free from the smoking habit for life affects you.

You think about all the good positive changes that becoming free from the self-destructive habit has brought into your life! Being free from all those problems--the feeling of really being in control and confident. You are now on the path on the right, it means success and a feeling of energy and optimism. You have more energy. You have more money. More opportunity of having the things you want and in the future, many lovely holidays in the future. You feel more in control. You feel more self-confident, even smarter. You are free of all of the worries, costs and inconveniences that cigarettes cause. I'm going to count from 1 to 3, and we are going to go down that road of being a free, non-smoker. Of having made this healthy change for one year.

1, 2, 3! There you are after one year of being in control, of being a non-smoker. You feel good, great! You have done it! You are a success and you never felt better and you are going to feel even better yet! There is a mirror there and you see yourself and you ask yourself, "Am I pleased with myself? Am I happy to have accomplished my goal of being a non-smoker for a whole year?" There are some new things in your life because you are more active and energetic.

This keeps you on the High Road of Success on the right.

From this moment in your life, whenever you are offered a cigarette, whenever you think of having a cigarette, your first thought will be to decline it, your second thought will be instantly of how disgusting that cigarette will taste and you will liken the taste to the pungent smell of excrement (replace this with the clients worst taste they could put in their mouth), the thought and vision of tasting and smelling pungent Excrement and the feeling of sickness that brings with it, in fact, the smell of nicotine burning will induce a feeling of sickness which you will not want to stomach or be able to stomach and you will have to change your thoughts to other things to stop the overwhelming feeling of vomiting. That terrible pungent taste and smell of excrement is from now on, what you will smell in replacement of a cigarette burning in close proximity to you.

 PLACE ANCHOR............Now (clients name),……whenever you think of having a cigarette or an urge to have a cigarette, you can quickly and easily use an anchor to reinforce what we have done this evening by very simply saying STOP either out loud or in your mind. Say the word STOP……….Do that NOW………. (wait for client to say STOP) …….And whenever you say the word stop, your thoughts will change from wanting a cigarette to what we have discussed this evening. There is no needing or wanting a cigarette anymore. You are firmly in control and able to carry on with other things and not have the need to want or need to have a cigarette. This is now a thing of your past. You have and are moving on with your healthy life. You ARE in control. …. Everytime you find yourself in a position that may lead you into thinking you want a cigarette, will now be very easily cast aside by saying the word STOP. Reinforce what we have done this evening by saying the word STOP again……….wait for client, …………well done.

You are NOW in control.

Perhaps you have already chosen to replace a cigarette with a cool refreshing glass of water?

Doesn’t that seem to be a very good choice? Perhaps its something you will consider.

"Now that you have decided to become a non-smoker for good, you will find that you have improved your life in every way!" More money, pride from your family and friends. Healthier, fitter knowing that you are definitely going to live longer than a smoker that you once were. Respect to yourself for becoming a non-smoker and knowing just how important that is to YOU

Well done on deciding on making this momentous decision, your life ahead of you has just become easier, healthier,  wealthier and wiser. You are a positive role model for anyone that has made the decision to become a non-smoker. You have made a massive positive and real impact on your life and others around you. Congratulations.
