Why be choosy and get assistance with the real root cause of smoking: nicotine dependence? Won't most people decide to and stop sooner or later without any help . . . go cold turkey? That is the untruth advocates for nonexistent "smokers' rights" (once dependent, smoking stops being simply a conscious choice) would have us believe. The truth is that those smokers don't stop as much as they replace. That is dependence or addiction transfer. Smokers more often switch to overeating sweets and 'comfort' foods or to alcohol. They self-medicate and unintentionally swap one major health threat and drain on their financial resources for another. Nicotine Dependence Relief and Recovery helps avoid unhealthy replacements.

Only dependence on nicotine forces so many people to be in such deep denial that they inhale enough dirty, foul-smelling smoke to do serious harm to themselves and very much unintentionally risk the health or happiness of everyone who needs them. That dependence is the root cause of the chronic and binge smoking that are major contributors to several deadly illnesses. Nicotine Dependence Relief and Recovery is believed to be the first stop-smoking program that offers help with the root cause of the ongoing and binge nicotine use that is the root cause of 80-percent of U.S. substance dependency-hastened deaths . . . 435,000 annually.

If you smoke and have been unsuccessful quitting, you most definitely are not alone! Out of 59.9 million U.S. cigarette smokers, each year an estimated one-third attempt to quit. A 2006 government (NIDA) report on research says that only 6-percent stay stopped for more than a month. Even those few are unlikely to be entirely free of nicotine: the essential requirement for recovery. Withdrawal along with unhealthy replacing and having hardly any up-front insights and ongoing support cause that almost 100-percent rate of relapse.

This program primarily works by reducing health risk denial to release the strong and lasting motivation needed to end using nicotine. It does that by repeatedly and truthfully answering the nine untrue not-their-fault attitudes of cigarette smokers. Much of NDRR's simple solution is to build and keep willpower by listening daily for three weeks to recorded safe self-hypnosis with very different "truthful suggestions" that sufficiently snuff out those "nicotine notions."

Nicotine Dependence Relief and Recovery is a specialized (nicotine), dependence-knowledgeable lifestyle health promotion program for individuals, couples and groups of adults 25 and older.* The program is taught in one (up to two hours) psycho-educational session (economical; insurance unnecessary) and includes free ongoing telephone support (exclusively for relapse prevention) from a licensed behavioral health clinician. That program leader assists adults to attain and maintain, without harmful substituting and adding excess weight, abstinence from the highly addictive drug, nicotine.

This unique life and money-saving program isn't meant to be combined with a stop-smoking drug or nicotine-based replacements for tobacco and smoking. The addicting substance rather than its usual source (tobacco) or most common delivery method (cigarette smoking) is the pivotal health and life-risking factor. Gaining and maintaining sobriety, avoiding nicotine intoxication, and healthy recovery require total non use. That uncomplicated answer is complete enough to stand alone. Nicotine Dependence Relief and Recovery includes its own healthy ways to conquer craving and excess appetite.

Winston Clinical Associate and NDRR's author: Richard Lovelace, PhD, MSW, ACSW, LCSW, has provided, for 40 years, rapid nicotine cessation interventions to individuals and couples who smoked. He led approximately 1,000 single-session, self-hypnosis stop-smoking groups – using content and handouts he created or developed – primarily for company employees and through the American Lung Association-NC. Certain that the lives and financial futures of a great many children are at stake, Dr. Lovelace's NDRR program is still respectful, especially of smokers, but exceedingly candid . . . straightforward and politically incorrect.
