Can Hypnosis Help me Quit Smoking in Tulsa If I've Failed to Quit before?

If you’re a smoker in Tulsa who has tried to quit more than once and couldn’t stick with it, you might be feeling frustrated or even hopeless. It’s a question many have after multiple attempts: Can hypnosis help me quit smoking in Tulsa if I’ve failed to quit before? The encouraging answer is yes – hypnosis can be a game-changer, even if you’ve struggled in the past. In fact, many people who eventually quit for good will tell you they “failed” several times before finding the method that worked for them. (Did you know the average smoker tries to quit around 6-7 times before finally quitting successfully? It’s true – so if you’ve had a few false starts, you’re definitely not alone.)

Quitting smoking is one of the hardest things to do, and failing doesn’t mean you can’t do it – it might just mean you haven’t had the right kind of help yet. Oklahoma City Elite Hypnosis has helped numerous Tulsans who thought they’d never quit smoking become happy, permanent non-smokers. They are considered the #1 hypnotherapist serving Tulsa and Oklahoma City, and they specialize in working with people who have “tried everything” without success. Let’s talk about why your past attempts might have failed and how hypnosis offers a fresh approach that can finally get you over the finish line.

Why Past Quit Attempts Fail (And How Hypnosis Is Different)

There are many reasons someone might slip back into smoking after trying to quit:

• Withdrawal and Cravings Overwhelm You: Going cold turkey or even using patches/gum can still leave you with strong cravings. It’s tough to fight those with willpower alone every single day. Hypnosis can significantly reduce those cravings by addressing them at the subconscious level. Instead of fighting the urge, many people find the urge just isn’t there as strongly after hypnosis.

• Stress Triggers a Relapse: Life in Tulsa can get stressful – whether it’s work, family, or unexpected crises. If in the past you’ve always handled stress by smoking, then high-stress moments can trigger a relapse. Previous quit methods might not have given you new coping tools, but hypnosis often does. Under hypnosis, you can "rewire" your response to stress so that you stay calm without a cigarette. Oklahoma City Elite Hypnosis actually incorporates stress-reduction techniques into their quit smoking sessions, helping you stay smoke-free even when life gets hectic.

• Habit and Routine Were Never Broken: Sometimes quitting fails because you addressed the nicotine but not the habit. Maybe you used nicotine lozenges, but you still found yourself instinctively reaching for a cigarette during your morning coffee or when driving. Smoking is as much a habit tied to routines as it is a physical addiction. Hypnosis shines here by breaking those mental associations. It can make that morning coffee just a coffee – no cigarette required – by removing the subconscious link between the two.

• Lack of Support or Motivation: Quitting can feel lonely or like you’re depriving yourself. If you didn’t have a strong support system or you weren’t fully mentally on board in previous attempts, it can be easy to give up. Hypnosis with a professional guide is a very supportive process – almost like having a coach in your corner. The hypnotist at Oklahoma City Elite Hypnosis will reinforce your motivation (your reasons for quitting) during sessions. Many clients say they feel a stronger resolve and a more positive mindset about quitting after hypnosis, instead of that feeling of loss or deprivation.

• Tried to Quit for Others, Not Yourself: Sometimes people try to quit because a spouse or doctor pushed them, but deep down they weren’t ready. Those attempts often fail because your own mind wasn’t fully committed. Hypnosis can help align your desire to quit with your true values and goals, making it your choice. When you genuinely want to quit for yourself, success comes much more easily.

Think about your own past quit attempts – do one of these reasons resonate? The key point is, failing before doesn’t mean you’re doomed to smoke forever. It just means the approach you used didn’t meet your needs at the time. Hypnosis approaches quitting from a totally different angle – from the inside out, focusing on your mindset, triggers, and motivations. That’s why people who haven’t succeeded with other methods often find success with hypnosis.

Triumph After Multiple Tries: Tulsa Success Stories

To give you hope, let’s look at a couple of real-life examples of Tulsa residents who struggled with multiple quit attempts until they tried hypnosis:

Tom’s Story: Tom, a 46-year-old from Tulsa, was the very definition of a “chronic quitter.” He jokes that he’s probably “quit” smoking 10 times – he just hadn’t stayed quit. Over the years, Tom tried going cold turkey (that lasted 3 days), nicotine patches (helped a bit, but he’d still smoke at parties), and even prescription meds from his doctor (he quit for a few months, but started again during a stressful time). Each failure left him feeling more defeated. By the time Tom heard about Oklahoma City Elite Hypnosis, he was skeptical. Hypnosis sounded a bit too good to be true, but as Tom says, “I figured I’d tried everything else under the Oklahoma sun, so why not this?”

After the first hypnosis session, Tom noticed he felt surprisingly indifferent toward cigarettes. The real test came a week later: a friend’s barbecue where everyone was drinking and smoking – a situation that would normally break his willpower. Tom got through it without lighting up, and it wasn’t even that hard; he just didn’t feel the usual pull.

That’s when he knew something was different this time. He did a couple more sessions to reinforce his new smoke-free mindset. Now, it’s been 8 months and Tom hasn’t had a single cigarette. This is by far the longest he’s ever gone without smoking, and he feels confident this quit will stick. His wife and kids are so proud of him. Tom himself is amazed – he says life as a non-smoker finally “clicked” for him through hypnosis.

“All those other times I quit, I still always felt like a smoker resisting cigarettes,” Tom explains. “After hypnosis, I actually feel like a non-smoker. I don’t want or need cigarettes anymore. That’s a first for me.” For Tom, hypnosis was the missing piece that made all the difference after years of struggle.

Linda’s Story: Linda is a 64-year-old grandmother from Broken Arrow (just outside Tulsa). She smoked for over 40 years and had only ever attempted to quit twice in her life. “Honestly, I just kind of resigned myself to being a smoker forever,” Linda admits. “It had been part of my life for so long, I didn’t think I could stop.”

Her grandchildren, however, were concerned about her health and kept begging her to quit so she could be around for a long time to watch them grow up. Linda hated letting them down, so she decided to give quitting another try – but she knew cold turkey wouldn’t cut it for her. She needed help. She’d heard about Oklahoma City Elite Hypnosis on the radio and figured, “Why not? I’ve got nothing to lose by trying hypnosis.”

Linda went in with modest expectations, but even after her first session she noticed a change: “I left the session feeling calm and I realized that I hadn’t thought about smoking the whole time I drove home. Normally, driving is when I’d chain-smoke!” With continued reinforcement through hypnosis, Linda managed to quit completely and has now been smoke-free for 5 months (and counting).

For the first time in her adult life, she went through the holiday season without smoking – even during her usual triggers like post-dinner coffee or chatting on the porch. Her family was astonished and absolutely thrilled. Linda’s health has already improved – she says she doesn’t get winded when gardening, and her doctor was pleasantly surprised to see her blood pressure and breathing tests improve at her last checkup.

But for Linda, the biggest benefit is the pride she feels. “I thought I was too old to quit, too set in my ways,” she says. “Hypnosis proved me wrong. If I can quit after 40 years, anyone can. My only regret is not trying it sooner.” Linda’s story shows that it’s truly never too late and you’re never too addicted to make a change. She credits the patience and expertise of her hypnotist at Oklahoma City Elite Hypnosis for guiding her gently toward a smoke-free life she never thought possible.

These stories are proof that even if you’ve failed before, there is hope. Tom and Linda both approached hypnosis as almost a last resort, and it turned out to be the solution that worked for them. They went from feeling “hopeless” to being confident non-smokers. Their experiences echo a common theme we hear: “I wish I had tried hypnosis earlier.”
