What to Expect After the Session
Let me tell you what you can expect after your Quit Smoking in 60 Minutes session when you quit smoking for good.
Some people after the session feel as if they have never been a smoker. They don’t think about cigarettes. They go through life as if cigarettes don’t exist.
Some people feel great, they have no cravings, a week or so may go by and they have a fleeting thought about a cigarette. As quickly as the thought comes, the thought is gone. And they will go about doing what they were doing.
Some people have to be aware that there are things that could try and trick them into having a cigarette. They might be getting into the car or having a cup of coffee and the thought of a cigarette occurs. As long as they remember to say no to that thought, and yes to breathing only fresh air, they are fine. They then continue to do other things and the thought passes.
Some people come in and they don’t actually want to be there. Someone made them or strongly encouraged them to come in to quit, maybe even pushed or threatened them to come in. “You better quit cigarettes or else . . .” Well, because no one can make you do anything you don’t want to do, nothing I do or say will make any difference and they will continue to smoke. They must decide for themselves to quit cigarettes.
A small number of people forget they can never 'just have one cigarette' and they have a cigarette some time after the session and come back for a free follow up session.
