Questions & Answers
Q. What is Quitting
In Time?
A. Quitting
In Time is a book and audio CD
system designed to show you how to stop smoking a
step-at-a-time, at your own pace by using proven
methods from behavioral and motivational
psychology.
Q. What is
different about Quitting In Time?
A. Quitting
In Time is different because it
shows you the solution, not the problelm. You do
not have to wade through two hundred pages of
charts and statistics to tell you what you
already know, that smoking is hurtful and
dangerous, that you are sick and tired of it and
you want to quit now! Quitting In Time
has only thirty-eight pages of text, along with a
section for recording your daily progress. You
could think of Quitting In Time
as a “road map” that will take you from
where you are to where you want to be, and show
you exactly how to quit smoking once and for all.
Q. Why not just
use patches or gum?
A. There
are basically three reasons patches and gum are
not the solution to quitting smoking:
One: the American Lung Association has
stated that gum and patches alone are not very
effective without a behavior modification
program. The success rate for patches and gum
alone is only about 10 - 15 percent.
Two: Using patches and gum can cause other
problems such as skin rashes and even addiction
to these products.
Three: The cost. These products are very
expensive, and also very lucrative for the drug
companies.
Q. But if you
wanted to use Quitting In Time
with patches or gum you could.
A. Again,
the American Lung Asssociation, and even the
manufacturers of these products say that the gum
and patches work best when used in conjunction
with a behavior modification program so, yes, Quitting
In Time can be used with these
products.
Q. What about
hypnosis?
A. The
problem with hypnosis is that the success rates
vary so dramatically because of the widely
varying responses. For some it works, for others,
not at all. Another drawback to hypnosis is that
it encourages an attitude of passivity where the
hypnotist is supposed to magically cure you of
your desire to smoke. That just isn’t
realistic. The success rate for hypnosis is also
around 10 - 15 percent.
Q. Isn’t
your audio CD a hypnosis CD?
A. No. The
audio portion of the Quitting In Time
system uses a different principle than hypnosis,
though it is directed at changing subconscious
patterns and beliefs. This principle is called Dichotic
Listening™. Using stereo headphones,
two separate messages are played simultaneously -
one to the left ear, one to the right ear. Since
it cannot process two different messages at the
same time, the conscious mind has to “tune
out” and allow the positive messages to pass
directly into the subconscious where they are
understood and accepted. This is a very
sophisticated and dynamic technique, and is
another reason Quitting In Time
is such a powerful and unique system.
Q. What
messages are on the CD?
A. The
messages on the CD are in the form of positive
affirmations such as: “It is easy to see
myself as a non-smoker”, “I am stronger
every time I say no to cigarettes”,
“Quitting smoking is easier than I
thought”, etc... The conscious mind tends to
be critical of these messages and inhibits them
from being accepted and acted upon by the
subconscious. With Dichotic Listening™
this conscious resistance is bypassed and the
resources of the subconscious mind are available
for change. That’s what behavior
modification is all about.
Q. Is the
Quitting In Time system guaranteed?
A. Yes. We
have a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you are
not satisfied with Quitting In Time
simply return the book and tape and we will
refund the purchase price.
Q. Is there any
last advice you would give to a smoker who wants
to quit?
A. Yes. The single
most important predictor of success or failure in
a smoking cessation program is the smoker’s
own expectation of success! The reason so many
smokers fail in their attempts to quit is that
they subconsciously expect to fail. If you expect
to fail you will, if you expect to succeed you
will. Quitting In Time
teaches you how to expect success!
