Smoking: The Process
Smoking: The Process
By
Richard L Erickson, PhD HHCP LPHt
Problem:
Smoking, in Indiana, for example, has remained relatively stable for the last five years. Most states are the same. Even with a lower pack purchase rate there is little evidence that Hoosiers are quitting. There are also countless Indiana tobacco users that are contraindicated to the current chemical models for smoke cessation, including: approximately 18% of pregnant women, at any one time, in Indiana are smoking, as well as breastfeeding women, Children under age 18, and many heart, diabetic, and cancer patients. Indiana needs an alternative smoke cessation and relapse prevention system that is safe, effective, and reusable.
1. Premise: contrarian view;
• The majority of smoke and smokeless tobacco users are NOT nicotine dependent
• Nicotine addiction is really irrelevant. What is relevant is to stop, and once stopped never ever start again
• Quitting isn’t the problem -----the real problem is Relapse
2. Research shows that one-third of all quit attempts fail within the first 48 hours, and fewer than 10 percent succeed long-term (more than a year)
. Currently, all standard chemical models (nicotine replacement therapy NRT, Chantix, anesthetic shots, Wellbutrin, Zyban) include side-effects that are potentially lethal, are designed to work mainly on the initial quit event, and leave smoking’s Habitual Conditioned Responses (CHR) to self-control; commonly called “willpower.”
3. With these statistics how would you proceed?
4. Start with the Addiction dependency myth: “Everyone who smokes is hopeless addicted and it will take many quit attempts to stop”
• Tachyphylaxis-- Tolerance
• Reinforcement-- Threshold level
5. Five stages of smoking: emotional-shift-self-medicating – give-in –exhaustion
6. Please answer this question. What does chemical addiction to nicotine have to do with:
• The emotional reasons for starting the smoking habit i.e. "to be cool" "rebellious" "part of the crowd" "school or work stress" "suffering through a divorce, a bad relationship, or the death of a loved one?
• Thinking of the cigarette as you little friend and companion?
• worries of weight gain if you quit
• Oral and hand fixations?
• smoking only when bored or stressed
• only smoking a set number of cigarettes per day or week; often for years
• The occasional smoking--- Lighting-up only when, partying, weekends or on vacations?
• Using only certain tobaccos or cigarette brands--- even going without rather that using off brands?
• The urges to smoke at certain "key" moments (with coffee or tea, after a meal, when the phone rings, in the car, at the computer, watching TV, with alcohol, taking a work break), or when emotional (lonely, sad, or angry)?
• The harsh withdrawal not associated to nicotine?
7. Conclusion: willpower and a patch, pill, shot, or gum is costly, ineffective for long-term relapse prevention, potential lethal, and can actually increase the smoking habit
Solution:
The TobaccoB’Gone Stop for Life System: a strict step-by-step approach to smoke cessation and relapse prevention.
1. Education: work/book manual and DVD
• Convince them that addiction to nicotine is NOT the driving force.
• Give them a compelling reason to quit—“still want to smoke”?
• Everyone know tobacco use is unhealthy smokers need specifics
2. Balance and Redirecting Conditioned Habits:
a. My research to the subsequent TobaccoB’Gone System is based in part by Paul McLean’s Triune brain principle, and various studies regarding Medical hypnosis and the effects altered consciousness has on the brain chemistry and transmission of words into mental pictures through the use of the imaginary pathway, which lead to the development of Auditory Linguistic Focused Imagery (ALFI) therapy: a progressive three CD series
b. ALFI Therapy helps to redirect or eliminate past and/or current sensitizing events
3. Nutrition: Two Amino acids and certain Alkaline Natural Foods
• GABA is an inhibitory amino acid in the human brain and is critical in counterbalancing the biological action of the excitatory amino acid glutamate. In a healthy human brain, both amino acids are present in equilibrium. In disease stages such as addiction, to either alcohol or nicotine, this equilibrium is out of balance. GABA concentrations may decrease with smoke cessation, leading to mild depression
• L-Glutamine has been studied extensively over the past 10-15 years and has been shown to be useful in treatment of serious illnesses, injury, trauma, burns, cancer and its treatment related side-effects
• Alkaline Natural Foods:
a. Eases nicotine receptor withdrawal and replaces and helps the hand/ mouth fixation.
b. Restores body’s PH levels to acceptable levels
c. Helps in cleansing the body of heavy metals and other poisons
4. Implementation: When the want is gone the need is gone and you can stop for life
