Welcome to the Break Free™ Smoking Cessation Program. Congratulations on your wise decision. By choosing to stop smoking today you have greatly reduced your risk of many serious diseases. More importantly, you have chosen to reclaim the power over your life and outcomes. This program is designed to put an end to the pain and discomfort associated with nicotine addiction. As you begin your new life as a non-smoker, enjoy enhanced self-esteem, greater health, confidence and personal power.

Ending your smoking habit today provides the following health benefits:*

Within 12 hours after you have your last cigarette, your body begins to heal itself. The levels of carbon monoxide and nicotine in your system declines rapidly, and your heart and lungs begin to repair the damage caused by cigarette smoke.

Within a few days you may begin to notice some remarkable changes in your body. Your sense of smell and taste may improve. You breath easier, and your smoker's hack begins to disappear, although you may notice that you might continue to cough for a while. And you are free of the mess, smell, inconvenience, expense, and dependence of cigarette smoking. Most nicotine is gone from your body within 2 or 3 days.

It is important to understand that the after-effects of quitting are only temporary and signal the beginning of a healthier life. Now that you've quit, you've added a number of healthy, productive days to each year of your life. Most important, you've greatly improved your chances for a longer life. You've significantly reduced the risk of death from heart disease, stroke, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and several kinds of cancer- not just lung cancer. More than 400,000 deaths in the United States each year are from smoking-related illnesses.

If you are like most people, you already know the risks of smoking. Unfortunately, knowledge by itself is not sufficient to overcome addiction to nicotine. Will power may work for short-term success, but usually fails to produce lasting changes in behavior. That's because you are struggling against years of self-defeating habits, beliefs and values associated with the act of smoking. A deeper kind of mental approach is required to make the critical changes with habits that have been established over a lifetime.

Like most individuals who have struggled with nicotine addiction, you may have quit smoking several times. You've summoned all of your will power, swearing to yourself that, this is it. "I quit!" Through the following days and weeks you probably experienced anxiety, irritability and discomfort. You wrestled with your self-talk, those creeping thoughts rationalizing why you could have just one smoke. Then came that day when you left work stressed, had an argument with a loved one or a cocktail at a dinner party and, almost unconsciously, you pick up that cigarette. Suddenly it seems as though all your effort and discomfort have literally gone up in smoke.

With each failed attempt your self-esteem and confidence in your personal power decrease. A feeling of powerlessness emerges, infecting your effectiveness in other areas as well. The physical and mental effects of addiction create a downward spiral in our health and our entire perception of the world. A feeling of well being becomes more and more difficult to sustain.

ULTIMATE SOLUTION

Now cast that dreary image aside. Imagine what it would be like to release your desire for nicotine altogether. Disengage the "triggers" associated with smoking and replace them with powerful habits that lead to increased health, improved performance, sense of well being and long term success. What if you could stop stress, anxiety and boredom smoking and begin a new life of self-confidence and inner calmness? Learn powerful, effective methods to produce relaxation and stress relief. Cultivate effective, safe and healthy new behaviors to produce the results you desire. If these behaviors were yours, you would be the healthy, happy, successful person that you want to be. And if these new behaviors were permanent new habits, you would be naturally drawn toward the life you have chosen: That of a non-smoker. Building upon each new success, you can create the life that you most desire.
