2007 Great American Smokeout Is A Chance To Start Fresh

This Thursday, November 15th, the American Cancer Society will celebrate the 31st anniversary of the “Great American Smokeout”. The following is an excerpt taken from the American Cancer Society website which explains how the “Smokeout” came to be.
The American Cancer Society Great American Smokeout grew out of a 1971 event in Randolph, Mass., in which Arthur P. Mullaney asked people to give up cigarettes for a day and donate the money they would have spent on cigarettes to a high school scholarship fund. In 1974, Lynn R. Smith, editor of the Monticello Times in Minnesota, spearheaded the state’s first D-Day, or Don’t Smoke Day. The idea caught on, and on Nov. 18, 1976, the California Division of the American Cancer Society succeeded in getting nearly one million smokers to quit for the day. That California event marked the first Great American Smokeout, which went nationwide the next year.
Sometimes in life, we need a “trigger” to start something new. It’s like with New Year’s resolutions. We use New Year’s as a special date to resolve to make a change in our lives, whether that’s losing a few pounds or making a concerted effort to save more money or something else. It’s a special time…a “new beginning” if you will.
November 15th can be the day that you put down your cigarettes for good. I encourage you to use this day as a new beginning, a fresh start to a life without cigarettes. A life where you can breathe easier and give your family and friends a chance to breathe easier as well. Respect you body that day and pass on the cigarettes. I know it won’t be easy but I’m certain you’ve faced harder challenges in life before. The American Cancer Society sponsors programs designed to help you quit and there are lots of other programs as well.
This past August, I celebrated my 4th anniversary since I smoked my last cigarette. I used hypnosis to help me quit smoking. That’s really the whole reason behind this website! I had tried to quit before, but using hypnosis was different. I never dreamed I could go from a smoker to a non-smoker that quick & that easy. Sure I had a great desire to quit and high expectations for hypnosis, but in the back of my mind, I still wondered if it would really work? Well it did work and I’m living proof of it. And if I didn’t think it could help others, I wouldn’t waste my time singing the praises of hypnosis & self hypnosis! If you have that desire to quit, to breathe fresh clean air and get your life back on a healthy track, then I know that hypnosis could be the answer you’ve been looking for.
If the idea of using self hypnosis in the comfort of your own home appeals to you, I encourage you to check into this audio program from Hypnosis Network. What makes them so special? Every program they make was created by a therapist who holds a Ph.D. or other terminal degree in a psychology-related field, and is an expert in the use of hypnosis as well as the topic area in which they record for The Hypnosis Network. Unlike many companies selling hypnosis sessions, they select individual therapists for each topic. Each program they produce is developed by the most qualified therapist for the subject area in the English-speaking world. All of their programs are professional and extremely well done. I don’t think you’ll find any better. Here are testimonials from some of their satisfied customers.
For $99, (including a 1 year money back guarantee), you’ll be on your way to becoming a non smoker. For about the cost of 25 to 30 packs of cigarettes, you can be free from smoking. Isn’t that worth trying?
Regardless of whether you use hypnosis to help you stop smoking or some other method, I encourage you to use November 15th as the perfect opportunity to make a fresh start in your life. You will forever be happy you did!
