Behavior Modification

It takes a significant amount of time for the memory of being a smoker to change.  After many years of smoking, the mind associates specific situations and activities with smoking.  As the new non-smoker moves along through their daily life, they will encounter many reminders of having been a smoker.  When exposed to that memory, the addictive mind will immediately associate it to smoking.  This response triggers the physical and psychological cravings for cigarettes. 

Specific techniques are used to disassociate the habit of smoking enabling you to build new memory and associations as a non-smoker.  It takes twenty four to twenty eight times for something to be repeated for the mind to learn it.  As the reminders come, and you move through those moments as a non-smoker, the reminders fade very quickly.  In a short period of time, the reminders are less frequent, less intense and they will vanish altogether.  

It is necessary to establish new patterns and new behaviors as a non-smoker to replace the smoker that was.  Our techniques will take you through your daily routine and address each area of change.
