Have you ever thought, “I really want to quit smoking”?Maybe you've been thinking about it for years. Maybe you've tried before. Maybe you've quit and started again or perhaps you're wondering what life could feel like without cigarettes.
The Great American Smokeout is an opportunity to pause, consider your relationship with smoking, and take a meaningful step toward a smoke-free life.
Join Bonnie Poirier, Hypnotherapist, for a special Facebook Live devoted to understanding smoking cessation and discovering the possibilities that come with becoming smoke-free.
Bonnie has been working with people who want to stop smoking for 32 years, helping individuals, groups, couples, and friends as they take this important journey together.
During this Live, we'll talk about:
- The history of the Great American Smokeout - how this national event began and how its goals have evolved.
- Why quitting can be difficult - understanding nicotine dependence, habitual patterns, triggers, and the emotional connections that can develop around smoking.
- What happens when you stop smoking - exploring the remarkable ways the body begins responding and healing after your last cigarette.
- Cravings and withdrawal - understanding what you may experience and learning that a craving is a temporary experience that can be managed.
- Breaking the smoking routine - identifying those familiar moments when cigarettes have become part of your daily rituals and discovering new ways to respond.
- The power of your reasons for quitting - connecting with the personal reasons that can help strengthen your commitment to becoming smoke-free.
- How hypnotherapy may support smoking cessation - exploring how therapeutic hypnosis can help you work with habits, triggers, thought patterns, motivation, and your vision of a smoke-free life.
You Don't Have to Do It Alone
Bonnie works with:
- Individuals
- Groups
- Couples
- Friends who want to quit together
There can be something incredibly powerful about having someone beside you who says: “We're going to do this together.”
Whether you're ready to quit today, preparing for your quit date, or simply beginning to think seriously about making a change, this Live is an opportunity to learn, reflect, and discover what support might be right for you.
And if you've tried before, remember that previous attempt does not mean you cannot succeed. It means you have learned something about your journey. You can begin again.
Your Next Breath Can Be a Beginning
-Imagine waking up without needing that first cigarette.
-Imagine drinking your morning coffee without automatically reaching for one.
-Imagine moving through your day without planning your activities around smoking.
-Imagine experiencing a craving and knowing: “I don't have to act on this feeling.”
-Imagine the freedom of knowing that you are the one making the choices.
Your smoke-free journey doesn't have to begin with perfection. It can begin with one decision. One breath. One step.
Join me on Thursday, November 19 at 9:00 AM Central. The cost is $25 payable by cash, check, or Venmo.
Bring your questions. Bring your curiosity. Bring your hope and perhaps bring someone you love who is ready to take this journey with you.
Your last cigarette can become the beginning of something new.
I look forward to sharing this time with you.
Bonnie Poirier, Hypnotherapist
