I have smoked off and on for over 20 years, (mostly on). I went to see a hypnotherapist on Saturday morning, and I'm now finished with smoking.
I have had zero "cravings" and when my body would usually tell me to smoke, my subconscious mind seems to be on auto-pilot and quickly dismisses the notion. Thus far, it has been painless, even after a few cocktails on Saturday night, and morning coffee - no desire to smoke again.
It's amazing how strong your subconscious mind can be. The key to success, so I'm told, is to be certain that you want to quit before entering into the session, and to make sure you can describe to the hypnotherpaist why you want to quit. She simply reloaded these thoughts while in a relaxed state. I'm amazed and in awe of how powerful this method is, with no drugs or side effects.
