QUIT SMOKING - RECOVERY PROGRAM
The "QUIT SMOKING - RECOVERY PROGRAM" Aims to assits smokers to recover from nicotine.It is being conducted by professionals working in the field of addiction and health who have also been smokers themselves and have gone through the process of recovery using the 12 step approach.
The program takes a holistic approach (covering mind body and spirit) which helps addicted smokers stop smoking and make the lifestyle changes which will reinforce the choice to remain free of smoking and lead a better quality of life. Based on the Twelve Step philosophy, this intense, three-day program provides the information and inspiration to live nicotine-free.
The concept is to hold the program away from the smoker's everyday environment and offer a safe setting with fitness activities, group support, natural therapeutics like massage, yoga, acupuncture relaxation and meditation, and healthy meals. A life enhancing experience is provided so that the client deals with this lifestyle change in a positive manner. Good memories are created from the experience.
The program also covers
