Commit to Quit - The Corporate Quit Smoking Program That Works!
by Patricia French Crilly, R.N.
The Society of Human Resource Management (2006) reports that according to Dr. Corinne Husten of the CDC, U.S. employers lost $92 billion in productivity attributable to smoking-related deaths last year. This does not include the direct medical costs from smoke- related illnesses or absenteeism that totals more than $75 billion annually. Tobacco is a leading cause of lost production time - more than alcohol abuse or family emergencies. Smokers incur an average of 18 percent more in health care expenses and take 2.5 more sick days per year than nonsmokers, according to the American Cancer Society. These figures demonstrate that offering a comprehensive Smoking Cessation Program, as part of a benefits package is an essential service, not a luxury.
The COMMIT TO QUIT SMOKING program developed and delivered by Patricia French Crilly, RN, features a strategic approach to quitting smoking forever. This is a unique and powerful combination of mind set reconditioning, multi-sensory guided imagery, Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), address the physical addiction to nicotine, the habit of smoking and the emotional distraction smoking provides. The program is divided into three aspects that begin with Smoking Cessation Motivation, the actual Smoking Cessation Session and, finally, the Relapse Prevention component.
