Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) June 20, 2007 -- The Grossman Method Hypnosis for Smoking Programs works long term to help smokers stop smoking. Michael Schneider, a 54 year old high school teacher from Madison, Wisconsin just celebrated his 20th anniversary using the system. "I tried many times to quit," he says, "but I always failed till I attended a Grossman Method seminar conducted by Dr. Kenneth Grossman 20 years ago. Nothing worked for me before."

Earlier this month Schneider woke up in his Madison, Wisconsin home to a true milestone. On June 4th he celebrated his 20th anniversary as a non-smoker. "I have not had an urge for a cigarette in 20 years," he says. "My lungs are much healthier. And everything around me smells better."

My lungs are much healthier. And everything around me smells better.

That is no small feat, considering that, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, smoking is the single most preventable cause of premature death in the United States. Each year, more than 400,000 Americans die from smoking. In fact, one in every five deaths in this country is smoking related.

With a three-pack-a-day, 18-year habit Schneider, a 54-year-old high school teacher, was well on his way to becoming another dreadful statistic. "I tried many times to quit," he says, "but I always failed until I tried the Grossman Method of hypnosis for smoking."

Schneider's epiphany came on June 4, 1987, when he attended a hypnosis for smoking seminar conducted by Dr. Kenneth Grossman, a Board Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist based in Sacramento CA. "Nothing had worked for me before so I was skeptical," Schneider admits. "I just hoped that it would work long enough to save me back the fee."

He got his wish -- and then some. On the way to the hypnosis for smoking session, Schneider puffed on what turned out to be his last cigarette. Afterwards, "It was different somehow," he recalls. "I had a strange feeling at the tips of my lips, as though the tar and nicotine were coming out of my body. The next morning I was up and about for 20 minutes before it dawned on me that I hadn't had a cigarette. I don't really know why this technique worked when nothing else did."

A former smoker himself who watched several members of his family die from tobacco-induced illnesses, Grossman developed his own, guaranteed hypnosis for smoking technique focusing on the physical, psychological and emotional aspects of nicotine addiction. He now gives seminars internationally and offers a CD program based on those seminars through his website, http://www.kengrossman.com/stop_smoking.php. In the past 25 years he "safely helped hundreds of thousands" of people around the world kick the habit, he says.

With one exception: "A person who has a death wish will not respond to my technique, or any other technique for that matter."

Fortunately for Schneider, life, not death, was on his mind that fateful day 20 years ago. He remembers a "powerful" moment during Grossman's cessation seminar "when we were able to mentally experience ourselves as non-smokers."

Schneider was so entranced by his session, he is now thinking of becoming a hypnotherapist himself. "Hypnosis is not magic," he says, "but it sure makes quitting smoking much easier."
