Smoking
Cessation Success in 4 Easy Steps…
Are you ready to...
-
begin
a powerful stop-smoking program with proven success?
-
use
natural methods to stop urges and cravings?
-
learn
about the more subtle triggers that are blocking your
road to stopping?
-
eliminate
the distasteful smell of cigarettes on your clothes and
breath?
-
stop
having your hard-earned money "go up in smoke"?
-
gain
valuable support for your wellness goals in general?
-
have
access to acupuncture, hypnotherapy, and other holistic
modalities in one convenient location?
Here’s
the plan…
As your
“smoking success coach”, I
use a completely individualized, focused, 4-step
program that has proven to be highly successful
with hundreds of patients. How? I combine a world-renowned,
crack-busting acupuncture treatment with
honest, straightforward strategies designed to get you thinking
and acting like a nonsmoker-- from the moment you
start your first treatment.
Whether
you’ve been smoking for 20 years or a few weeks, relapsed,
or finding it just too hard to quit on your own, you’ll
be surprised at the results when your particular habits
and lifestyle are addressed with care and attention. Then
we can get you on the road to better health, looks,
cash flow, and yes, smell.
Even
the most stubborn, long-term smokers who have previously
tried to stop smoking have quit with our 4-Step method in
less than four treatments. (Two is the
average!). More good news: most patients have no
weight gain!
Still
not sure it will work for you? Just read some of the compelling
testimonials from patients
who had the same concerns as you may have today.
| I
just celebrated my two years February 1st 2006 of
being completely smoke free! I couldn't dream of even
smoking another cigarette. I feel better than ever!
Thank you so much!
Love,
M.M., New York

Step One: Ready…or
not?
Let’s
face it: timing is everything when it comes to stopping
smoking successfully, as well as your reasons for stopping.
Do you have a week or two to devote to this goal? Are you
planning a trip, have lots of social engagements, or other
potential pitfalls planned? Sometimes it’s just better
to have a “normal”, quieter period of time set
aside, preferably free from commitments that can result
in regressions into self-defeating,old patterns. Regardless,
you’ll need to come into the office at least twice.
Not
only do you need to be clear in your intentions about stopping,
but also you need to be sure that you are stopping for the
right reasons. Keep in mind that the majority of patients
who come through the office do not really want to stop smoking.
Let me assure you that that’s usually ok. What’s
most important is your need to stop smoking for health,
appearance, self-esteem, etc. That need will be a guiding
force throughout the process of trading an addiction for
years of freedom, better health, and personal triumph.
Take a quick
quiz
…to
see if you’re really ready? Just answer these true/false
statements :

If you’ve
confirmed most –or even some--of these statements
with “true”, then you’re really on your
way to becoming a successful nonsmoker. Your readiness and
thinking will lead the way to take action in achieving a
healthier life.
Step Two: Take
Action…Schedule Your Appointments
Contact
Roberta at the Park Avenue Center for Well
Being, conveniently located in midtown New
York City, to begin your treatment. The basic Smoking
Cessation Package includes two appointments: the first is
one and one-half hours, and the second is 45 minutes. Additional
follow-up treatments are scheduled as needed.
Upon
scheduling, you’ll be given important “smoking
homework” that highlights some of the personal characteristics
of your smoking habit. These simple but crucial observations
may actually be the key to what may be keeping you stuck
in addictive patterns! They will be addressed in detail
at the first appointment along with suggestions for thinking,
eating, exercising, and making the transition to nonsmoking
as smooth as possible. We’ll also think of the all-important
“what if’s”, those imagined and possible
situations in your business and personal life that might
derail you. Don’t worry…you’ll be prepared!
From
the first visit, we'll honestly address many of the issues
contributing to your present smoking habit, such as:
-
What
is your smoking history? What about past attempts to stop?
-
Who
will support you as you work to achieve your goal?
-
Where
are the stresses in your life, and how do they affect
your habit and overall health?
-
Do
you want to "turn over a new leaf" today, or
take measured "baby steps" over time until you
stop? (I personally vote for the former approach).
-
How
will you genuinely reward yourself for positive results?
-
What
lifestyle changes are you honestly willing to make - and
what are you not willing to do?
-
What
natural, safe aids might ease withdrawal and help you
detox?
-
What
does your medical history say about the healthy balance
you need to achieve?
It
is these types of questions that help to define the course
of your treatment - and success.
| Your
treatment for cigarette smoking is truly unbelievable.
Trying to quit on my own
was a painful experience to say the least. I was just
powerless over my urges
for a smoke....I can't help, but to preach acupuncture
to anyone I run into who is trying to quit.
Very
Truly Yours,
L. R.
P.S. Please feel free to use me as a reference.

Step Three:
Relax…Prepare to Reboot Your System.
It’s
so enjoyable for me to observe that even the most hesitant
acupuncture patient becomes instantly convinced that the
acupuncture treatment is calming, comfortable…and
downright relaxing.
Micro
thin filaments are placed in areas that are designed to
target addictions, strengthen the immune system, and balance
the body. As an added boost, electro-acupuncture may be
used.to send a stronger message to the body.
How
does acupuncture work? Chinese medicine teaches that any
health issue or condition is due to an imbalance or blockage
in the meridians, or pathways of energy. A focused, powerful
treatment based on each individual’s constitution
and history is one of the most effective ways to restore
a smooth flow of energy—and to lick that smoking habit
for good. In fact, most patients report that they “float”
out of the office…a great way to begin your nonsmoking
life!
Step Four: Take-
Home Extras…As Seen on TV!
After
the treatments, you’ll be offered my special
“Acupuncture To Go”, painless,
tiny removable reinforcements that can be gently stimulated
if there’s an urge to smoke.. A signature part of
the treatment, these gentle reminders may be taken off by
the patient or left on for a few days as virtually invisible
reinforcements of the addiction-busting part of the treatment.
Patients report that they really work!
You’ll
also receive my complete “smoking package”,
with tips, affirmative reading, and empowering articles
that will show you how your body is healing the
minute you stop smoking. Suggestions for books
and CD’s are also offered, as well as complete notes
from our discussion for your reference.
Next,
I’ll suggest some optional, completely natural
items that can be used to supplement your progress. . These
well priced products may help some to fine-tune their balance
and resolve when used in conjunction with the in-office
treatment.
These
include homeopathic drops anti-craving capsules, herbs,
and a nicotine-free
patch.
Convenient
and easy-to-use, this safe, natural patch contains a dose
of the most effective herbal ingredients formulated to alleviate
symptoms of nicotine withdrawal while cleansing the system
of smoking-related toxins. Effective transdermal delivery
of this herbal, nicotine-free formula helps reduce cravings--
and ensure your success. Order
your nicotine-free patch today.
Finally,
decide to reinforce your nonsmoking message with hypnotherapy.
Possibly one of the keys to success, this synergistic modality
helps to complement your acupuncture smoking cessation treatments
with a safe, relaxing way to help your mind and body work
together to accomplish your goals. Performed by an experienced,
certified hypnotherapist here at the Park Avenue
Center for Well Being, this extra session is strongly
encouraged to help keep you planted firmly on the road to
success.
Now
is the time to let go of this habit once and for all …and
enjoy the freedom and knowledge that you’re doing
something wonderful—and necessary—for YOU.
We’re ready when you are!
