hypnosis to quit smoking

Anyone ever do this? Any results?

I've picked up smoking again about a year ago and i've been a year on, year off smoker kind of smoker for about 8 years now. I'll quit cold turkey and for no good reason pick it up a year or two later, smoke for a year and then drop it again. I'm struggling to quit this time tho, and having two roommates who smoke does not help either. Been thinking of doing the hypnosis route this time around. Anyone have experience with this?

thanks

 

Don't have personal experience, but I know that hypnosis can be very effective for dealing with certain things. I believe smoking is one of them, but do you dd.

 

My dad did it, worked great and has been smoke free for ten years

 

anyone else?

 

i think my best friends grandma had it done many years ago lol. or i think that's who he said it was. either way, he said it worked for her.

 

What did you try it for?

 

A co-worker did it. He was skeptical but when he sat down with the hypnotist, the guy told him to go outside, have a cigarette and savor every drag of it as though it was the greatest cigarette in the world and that he'd never have another one as good as it.

He did it and sure enough, never wanted another cig again. Every time he felt a little urge to smoke, he remembered back to the cig he had at the hypnotist's office and lost interest.

 

a friend of mine did it and stayed smoke free for about 3months. i guess it depends how bad u wanna quit....

 

No matter what method you use, you have to be really commited to quit. I smoked for 20 yrs. I did the cold turkey method 3 times. 3rd times a charm! That was 22 years ago. You gotta be off for at least 2 years before you can relax you defenses. Unless you move out from the smoking roommates you won't succeed. Going out drinking with people who smoked is what got me started again and that was after having not smoked for a year. The last time I quit I told myself that if I didn't make it that time then I would never try to quit again. Good luck, there is no magic pill, but quiting is worth it!

 

Day one...Wake up, do your normal thing, count how many smokes you have in a day. Day two, three and four, smoke two less than first day. Day 5,6,7, cut back by two again. Once you are down to a handfull just quit. Thats what I did. Quit for 3 years, been a smoker for 15.

 

I went to a hypnois once...the woman was good looking and all I got was a hard-on. Years later I finally quit after having a stroke...now if I can just quit the nicorette gum.

 

I have friend who's been on the gum for 10yrs.

 

I only smoke 3-4 a day as it is lol
