The Reservoir of Resentment - Hypnosis to Want to Quit Smoking

Becoming a nonsmoker can start to feel less like a battle of willpower and more like a decision you were always going to make.

That two minutes here and there for a cigarette break, added up, is closer to two hours a day than most smokers realise, and once you see it that way it is hard to look away from.

This session guides you through a warm outdoor spa, then asks you to picture yourself smoking with total focus, no phone, no chatting, only the cigarette. As you watch that mindful version of yourself smoking and nothing else, it builds an image of a reservoir rising behind a fragile dam, resentment building with every cigarette until the dam breaks.

It runs about 21 minutes, and the idea tends to keep working long after you press stop, quietly changing how a cigarette feels the next time you reach for one.
