Typically, people that attend my alcohol-control sessions do not like the group approach of the AA and prefer a more personal treatment one-to-one. Some do go for rehab or AA treatment after being strengthened by sessions with me, like Gary, who recently sent me his 5-year commemorative chip from the AA. Most simply need to get their drinking in control with a few private sessions with me and do not need to stop, like Miss A, who told me that she is now saving R1500 a month due to the treatment. R1500 is a lot of money to save every month. It is not just the beers, wine, and spirits that you buy to have at home that cost so much, you also have all those expensive extended meals that you eat mainly as an excuse to get drunk, yet again. Imagine how different life would be without having to have a drink!

Think how good you can feel if you can calmly choose to drink if you want to or comfortably stop at two drinks; how you would feel if you could be sociable without needing to get drunk. Can you imagine it? If not, then you need to see me. If you can imagine it, then you will find it even easier and quicker to get back in control.

The treatment involves Emotional Freedom Tapping, Kinesiology-based negotiation with your subconscious mind, laser treatment, and if you wish, we can also use hypnosis to cement our good work. You can even bring your favourite tipple with you and see just how easily and calmly you can find it less appealing as the session progresses.

Too good to be true? Well, this is not something you just take a gamble with; I guarantee that in the first session itself, you will feel at least a partial result along the way – or we just shake hands and say goodbye – and you pay nothing. Otherwise, you can take advantage of my very special offer of R2900 for a group of 6 up-to-2-hour sessions with me personally. That is about R241.67 per hour, 48% off my normal fees, way under the medical aid rate, and for cutting-edge alternative health treatments from the UK and USA, not available anywhere else in Cape Town. And you can even pay by card if you wish.

My calm studio is in the Cape Town CBD, very easy to get to, and open evenings and weekends as well as weekday daytime.

Get in control of alcohol; don´t let it control you. Contact me now on 072 700 5334 or by confidential email here, and we will set up that first no-risk appointment to get you started. Remember, in the first appointment itself, not later, but while you are actually with me, I guarantee at least one partial result along the way that you can actually feel.

Speak soon,

Suzanne Zacharia

I often have to postpone a client’s appointment due to impossible business pressures. This person is a busy business person. They put business appointments on a higher priority than their stop-smoking appointments. But it does not end there. You see, most of us would put work as a priority, because there is too much at stake messing around with our work. With this type of person, they put business appointments so much first and foremost that instead of scheduling a new business appointment around their scheduled stop-smoking appointment, they panic and cancel their stop-smoking appointment. Maybe you are wondering why this person does not schedule an appointment after work or on a weekend. I have wondered this too, many a time. It seems, from the answers I get, that this busy person is so constantly stressed by work, that when their very long work-day finally finishes, they are not willing to sacrifice any of their me-time or time with their family, not even for a life-saving appointment. In other words, this person is so constantly stressed out that it is no wonder they need to take a drug like nicotine in order to cope with life.

The only way this person can give up smoking is to work out new strategies to reduce stress in their life. As long as they insist that they need to keep up these unnecessary stress levels, they will really struggle to quit smoking.

There may be limiting beliefs about hard work that underlie all this stressful lifestyle. For example, the principle of work hard and play hard may be so entrenched in the mind as the best way to live, that health and well-being are sacrificed. Perhaps they were brought up by parents who were too perfectionist, or maybe there was financial and material deprivation in childhood, to which the hard-working executive image feels like the perfect antidote. Or perhaps this business person has very low self-esteem. On the outside, they may appear confident and strong, whereas on the inside, they feel unworthy of good health. Maybe they only feel worthwhile in the boardroom, and so seek to re-create that sense of importance over and over again, to the detriment of their well-being. Or perhaps they are stuck in a high-paying job where they cannot go elsewhere, and need that job to pay for an excess of material wealth that they only feel worthwhile if they own. For example, downsizing their job to a less stressful one may mean giving up the five-bedroom house and three luxury cars, without which this person may feel worthless. And although one may not sympathize, after all there are people starving for lack of food, this person is actually in a lot of relentless pain. And they smoke to dull away the pain; of over-work, of such a rigid regime, of feeling worthless in themselves, and of impossible expectations.

EFT, short for emotional freedom techniques helps with all the emotional elements of such a stressful lifestyle. And when enough stress has been eliminated, the person will then no longer need cigarettes in order to cope, and they can easily quit. EFT involves the stimulation of special stress buttons on the face, hands, and body whilst saying releasing wording. The first step however, still needs to be that of making an appointment with a practitioner. And that is where this person is stuck right now. If that is you, please just for now, make that first step and stick to it. You can be pleasantly surprised how much stronger it can make you.

For many ex-smokers and non-smokers, the smell of cigarettes as they walk past can be totally disgusting. And many a non-smoker may wonder if they themselves used to inconvenience others in the same way, with the realization that they must have smelled the same. Of course it is not a matter of smell per se but the stuff that you are breathing in against your wishes that makes it so unpleasant. I live in Cape Town and personally hold my breath when I see that cigarette, and I try to walk as far away from the outdoor tables as possible. But then, I have smokers lung, and I have ended up in hospital once when I had to endure a party where everyone smoked non-stop outside.

For some ex-smokers, the whiff of the cigarettes takes them right back into cravings-land. Some people even deliberately breathe it in as the nearest they would allow themselves to get to smoking without actually starting up the habit of lighting up themselves again. Others may notice how relaxed the smokers at the tables look, sitting in the sun with friends, looking happy, and smoking together. That can make the thought of smoking very attractive and relaxing, bringing up those cravings of just one, just here, just this once. Of course, it never is just this once.

However, if you have stopped smoking and still get the occasional craving like that, it is best to release it rather than leave it as a potential time-bomb waiting to happen. It would be such a shame if your years of being a happy ex-smoker came to an abrupt end because of one moment of weakness that you were simply not expecting. There are many techniques you can use, such as EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), hypnosis, or NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), to name a few. It would be nice to pass those tables and feel neutral, wouldn´t it?

It has been found that people are more successful in realizing their goal if they write down their motivation and put it somewhere they can easily see every day. So write down your reasons to quit and put them up on a wall or on your fridge to remind yourself of why you want to stop smoking. Write down about 5-10 reasons, and when you are ready, you will find yourself much more motivated to quit. I have listed below some popular reasons cited by ex-smokers before they quit. Of course, your reasons may be completely different, but these should  give you ideas to get you started.

• Upon hearing from the doctor that you need to quit, maybe because of lung or heart problems.
• To be around for your children and hopefully one day grandchildren. Or to be around for your partner, nieces, nephews, or god-child.
• To set a good examples for impressionable youngsters in your life.
• To join your partner in becoming a happy non-smoker.
• To be kissed without that disgusting tobacco taste.
• To save money. Think how much you will have saved in a year; what would you do with that money, go on holiday, buy something you have always promised yourself, save it for a rainy day?
• To be fitter and look healthier instead of sprouting extra wrinkles and yellowing skin.
• To be free from slavery to those cigarettes that dictate to you every day what you have to do.
• To be free from having to keep going out for a quick cigarette in all those places where you cannot smoke.
• To be able to taste your food and enjoy it.
• To be fresher and happier.
• To be free from that smell on your clothes and in your hair.
• To live a healthier lifestyle. Some people run marathons at 80 years old, and the average smoker finds it challenging to run up some stairs sometimes.
• To cut your chances of cancer, emphysema, and other nasty horrible diseases you can get.
• To live a long and fulfilled life.
• To gain self respect.
• Better chance of getting a date who is not a nicotine addict or any kind of addict.
• If you smoke at home or in your office, to have your home of office smell nice instead of like an ashtray, with yellow curtains and walls that you have to keep washing and painting.
• To stop that horrible greying skin look after a heavy night out smoking.
• To get pregnant or conceive. Even for men, the quality of sperm is better if the man has quit for 6 months.
• To have more energy.
• To be free without worrying where your next fix will come from.

Now you have the why. Write yours down and put them in a prominent place. When you are ready, you can move on to the how. My favorite method that I recommend is Emotional Freedom Techniques, or EFT for short. EFT can remove all the reasons why you smoke, leaving you free to stop smoking when you want to. If EFT does not appeal, there is hypnosis, NLP, NRT, and many other ways that help you quit.

Wishing you every success on your stop-smoking journey…

One stop-smoking client answered this question for me very eloquently. She said that her husband, who has never smoked, usually speaks his mind, and sometimes gets angry or sulks, and then when he is happy, he thinks nothing of jumping up in the air or doing a little dance. She was actually not deliberately answering the question of why he was successful at being a non-smoker. She was complaining that he did not keep his emotions under super-tight control! I said to her that this is exactly what she should explore in herself, why she has to appear in control at all times and why she has to drug her emotions with nicotine. I explained that her husband is simply sharing his feelings and expressing himself, rather than forcing himself to keep a tight lid on them, and that is why he does not need a drug called nicotine, as he does not have a need to appear unemotional all the time.

The need to appear unemotional is one aspect of smoking. Sometimes, this need is not an over-the-top unnatural need, but a need to remain in control whilst some pretty scary emotions are threatening to come to the surface. And then, we can ask ourselves, what does a non-smoker do in these cases? Well, they deal with those emotions, so that there is no need to drug themselves with nicotine. Some take medication from the doctor for say, anxiety or depression, some go to a psychotherapist on a weekly basis, and some investigate some great new methods for release, such as Emotional Freedom Techniques, and let go of those overwhelming negative emotions forever.

Stop Smoking EFT and Hypnosis Practitioner

Emotional Freedom Techniques, or EFT, is a great way to release any emotional blocks in your way. And then you too can act like a non-smoker and so feel as relaxed as a non-smoker and become finally a calm non-smoker yourself. And the greatest benefit is that you can be totally in charge of the process itself.

I feel it is important first of all to address the issue of calling smoking habit or addiction. I have recently been reading up on Habit versus Addiction and it seems that semantics are getting in the way. When I was in my early twenties, a long time ago, it was recognized that there was what was called ¨psychological addiction¨, in other words, the emotional need for a substance. Now, the psychologists do not like using the word ¨addiction¨ it seems unless there was a big ¨physical¨ withdrawal such as in the case of a heroin addict going cold turkey. Now I use the words ¨need¨ or ¨desire¨ to avoid making it just a habit. You see, what a psychologist calls a habit is not what the layman calls a habit. The originator of EFT expressed it very eloquently in one of his DVDs. He said if he had a habit of putting his right shoe on before his left shoe, then that is a habit, and all he needed to change it is put a note by his shoes reminding him to put the left shoe on first, and he would simply do it. But he asked members of the audience, if a smoker can simply stop smoking by leaving a note on their cigarettes reminding them not to smoke, and successfully quit the habit.The audience said no, and he explained that it is because there are emotional reasons why a smoker smokes.

But I am a holistic healer and a scientist and seriously challenge anyone to tell me exactly where the physical ends and the emotional begins and prove it. The problem I find for the client with this arbitrary distinction between addiction and habit is that the client then tries to convince themselves that they need to change habits rather than address the emotional reasons why they smoke. That is, a habit as perceived in layman´s terms, not habit as psychologists call what a layman calls a ¨psychological addiction¨. So then one has to address overeating, and this is because the emotional reasons behind the smoking simply get transferred to another destructive activity, that of overeating. But hypnosis is very popular and lucrative, and no matter what we do to persuade the client to stop smoking from the root, they want the perceived magic of trance and are willing to pay more for it, rather than face their emotions in the waking state and release them relatively faster with EFT. What to do? I mix the two when the client wants. But my heart is warmed every time someone quits smoking from the root and holistically changes their life for the better. Hence my preferred stop smoking solution is EFT and a bit of NLP plus some basic holistic health education. We did it at the London EFT clinic I was running, and very successfully – it was EFT-only for most people.

Talking about location, I also am finding the local culture has a lot to do with it. For example, in the UK where I started, people were educated by the government not to skip breakfast, and that if they waited till the afternoon to start eating, they would get ravenous and likely to overeat, as well as needing the breakfast to kick-start their metabolism. Here in South Africa, where I now live, most people are totally ignorant of this and many force themselves to go without food till the evening. No prizes for guessing the favourite method of hunger control! Many people think the body does not need food during the day, and so they are ignorant of what hunger actually is, that they call hunger a need to smoke. They have never tried to give their bodies the nutrition it is so strongly asking for. Instead, when they get that feeling that other people call hunger, this type of smoker thinks that it means they have to have a cigarette. This is because cigarettes drug away the feeling of hunger. And this type of smoker is either underweight or is so used to eating one meal a day that they are used to packing it full of energy and do not realize they have to make changes to it when they start addressing the genuine need for eating.Those who were underweight are usually terrified when they start becoming a normal weight. They had been so used to being too thin that they identify as that person. so work needs to be done on the disordered eating, identity, and everything else around it.

This is why I find stop smoking treatment with EFT so satisfying. One holistically heals everything behind the smoking, and when it is all healed, the smoker then simply stops and feels no need to ever smoke again.

Your 3-in-1 Hypnosis offer in Cape Town includes Stop Smoking EFT, Stop Smoking Kinesiology-based muscle-testing and Laser treatment, and Advanced Hypnosis. The Hypnosis helps to get messages through to your subconscious mind enabling you to succeed, the EFT releases blocks in the path of your success, and and the kinesiology-based muscle-testing and laser treatment gets answers from your subconscious mind about the reasons behind your smoking, in order to release them. Without the underlying reasons why you smoke, you no longer have any reason to smoke, and so you can let go of the cigarettes.

We are open 8 am to 8 pm Monday – Friday and 9:30 am to 6 pm weekends, subject to availability, so you can easily fit your treatment into your life. No more excuses!

Don’t wait till you suffer a heart attack or emphysema. And if you have already, it is even more urgent that you act now! And if you are smoking and pregnant, make sure you call me now for your appointment. You’ll be glad you did. I want to set you free from smoking forever. What’s more, I want you to refer your friends and family, so that they can benefit too.

“JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW. IT IS MY 4TH DAY NOW AND I AM GOING STILL STRONG AT IT. I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH FOR HELPING ME.” Jayne, Cape Town

And Michelle, also from Cape Town, sent the following SMS about a follow-up appointment scheduled for a month after she quit: “Hello there, I am still doing great! I’m going to skip the appointment [tomorrow]… I’m very happy and proud … Thanks for your support.”

Typically, my ex-smoker clients refer many others to me. Like John, who referred 11 clients in a three-month period after attending his stop smoking hypnotherapy session when I was a hypnotherapist in the UK (I moved to Cape Town for love and marriage). After all, this is an essential freedom – to breathe, to have a tongue, voicebox, legs, a heartbeat, the things you took for granted when you (or your loved one) started smoking, are no longer secure. The smoking is killing you or a loved one now, and that is why you are reading this.

How Much For This Life-Saving Treatment?

Anyone can quit smoking – you do it every night when you are asleep! But the trick is to stay quit! My sessions are very generous, at least 2 hours for the first session, then usually up to 2 hours for subsequent sessions. Now, I know the nature of addiction. An addiction will twist your mind many times over, it will lie to you till you lie to yourself, it will trick you at every opportunity. The temptation to attend one session for an hour and pretend you are cured is bigger than you can ever imagine. So I have come up with a very special offer for smokers who are serious about quitting, regardless of the route you personally need to take, whether 1, 3, or even 6 sessions. I am offering a unique combination of Advanced Hypnosis, EFT, and Laser. Smoke Enders for about 2500 offer six very short classes over six weeks, and every single time, the presenters completely ignore the reasons why you smoke; and at the end of it, I am told by attendees that a certificate of quitting smoking is given, with a good portion of attendees lying about their quitting in order to save face. The Allen Carr method, R2150 for a one-day class with many other attendees, promise a 90% success rate, but that is in the first 3 months, this goes down afterwards. And compare Zyban at 30% after a year, nicotine gum or patches at 14-17% and a mere hypnosis recording at up to 60% (hypnosis figures from the New Scientist in the 1990s) after a year,  and I think you get the picture. The New Scientist found hypnosis to be the most effective method of stopping smoking. And modern hypnotists use every new technique they are trained in to help you quit faster, more efficiently, easier, and most importantly, for your successful result for good. My 3-in-1 offer is available today for a mere R2900 and covers you for up to 6 sessions of about 2 hours each; and with one reserve session just-in-case, for up to 5 years in total. This is so low because I really want you to come to me and experience this excellent 3-in-1 method, because I know you will tell your friends, family, and colleagues of your success. And we take credit cards too, so you don´t have to worry about anything!

Your Budget

Some people quite like the idea of the 6-session route, but budget gets in the way. No problem, a group of 3 sessions are currently only R1600.  If you are not sure and want to talk it over, just call me on 072 700 5334, and we will take it on from there.

And… There’s More…

I am often asked: What if it doesn’t work? Well, we do not take guesses at this. How do I know you get results? Simple, I test, test and test. For example, I may put your cigarettes in front of you, place them in your hand (unlit of course), and together we assess for success.

Location – Where is it?

My calm studio is located in the heart of the city, at the corner of Shortmarket Street and Loop Street. There is parking usually in the street opposite the building, or you can park nearby.  Times available are from 8 AM to 8 PM weekdays and 9:30 AM to 6 PM weekends.

Get back in control; call me now on 072 700 5334 for a new beginning.

I look forward to hearing from you very soon.

Yours sincerely,

Suzanne Zacharia
