Hypnosis Smoking

My name is Chris Hoyt and I used to smoke.  I loved smoking cigarettes, just as much as you do...if not more.  But I knew I had to quit.

I had a 2 year old daughter and while I tried to smoke only outside and away from her, I knew she was still breathing in the smoke at times.  My wife was suffering too...all because of my selfish attitude.  I really enjoyed smoking, but was it right to make my family suffer and slowly die, simply because "I" enjoyed smoking?

I also happened to be very interested in hypnosis at this time, (and still am today).  So much so, that I decided to train to become a hypnotherapist.  Great idea...but being a "smoking" hypnotherpist would be a bit hypocritical...don't you think?  How could I expect to hypnotize someone to stop smoking when I was lighting up myself?  

But I did enroll in the training.  During one of our classes, my instructor asked if anyone had any "bad habits" they wanted to get rid of?  I knew this was my chance, I'd be hypnotized by our instructor, (also a successful hypnotist), to quit smoking.

I haven't put a cigarette in my mouth since that day in 2003.  I did go on to become a hypnotherapist and ran a small, local clinic for about a year.  Unfortunately my advertising budget was pretty much zero and I wasn't able to keep my doors open any longer.  I felt fortunate to have helped a lot of people that year.  It was very rewarding!

So I decided to take my desire to help people, online.  My "virtual office" expenses are much cheaper :-)  Not to mention, I can reach so many more people this way.

What can you expect from this site?  I believe you can expect to quit smoking...plain and simple.  I'm going to do my best to give you all the tools, advice and information you need to give up cigarettes.  The primary tool I use is hypnosis or "self hypnosis".  It works...I'm living, breathing proof that it works.  I'll be reviewing various hypnosis audio programs and discussing what I like or dislike about each.  I will also be discussing various other methods to "kick the habit" that you may find useful.

My only request of you is that you come here and use the information with an open mind.  You may be thinking, "hypnosis makes for a great stage show, but how's it going to help me quit smoking?"  Hypnosis helps thousands and thousands of people each day..."allow" it to help you!

You'll find links on the right side of the page that will help you navigate this site.  There is lots of work to do and lots of information to add.  So please bookmark this site so that you can find it easily in the future.
