You may have come to a point in your life where smoking no longer fits your lifestyle. You want to be healthy, feel healthy and be around for a long time for those who love you. Smoking serves a range of psychological functions, such as a way to regulate emotions or pain. It can be one way people cope with negative life events, trauma or heightened emotions. Smoking represents something about the way we live our lives. When clients who smoke come for therapy, their smoking habit provides a window into the underlying problems they are having and how they are coping with these problems. The "Up in Smoke" holistic smoking cessation program may help you overcome this habit by helping you cope with the physical and emotional issues that typically arise when stopping smoking, such as withdrawal symptoms and the urge to smoke. For only $29, you will receive 6 lessons over the next few weeks that may change your life -- without having to leave your home. |
