subject: Quit Smoking Through Hypnosis [print this page] In this article I need to tell you the strange but true story of how I was able to quit smoking through hypnosis. While you read this please do not forget that before I attempted hypnosis I was persuaded that I used to be a confirmed smoker for life, and that I would get ill and die from a smoking related disease!
It all occurred about three years ago...
After a five year period of not smoking I had been stupid one night and had a cheeky puff, thinking that I had totally kicked the habit.
But one or two short months on and I was in a very bad way, secretly smoking in the mornings, before my hubby woke up...it was a terrible time.
I would waken at 6 in the morning and smoke 20 cigarettes like a sneak, then wash my teeth and pretend everything was fine...
!!!THE FIRST TRY!!!
So one day, when I was feeling particularly sick and looking like an old hag in the mirror, I made a decision enough was enough, and made the choice that I was intending to make giving up my no1 goal in life. I would do everything in my power to kill the habit.
So I stopped...
But an hour later the cravings were so bad that I pretended we needed some milk and went to the shops to buy some smokes.
Woe is me :- (
Another few weeks went by and I was smoking more.
Then one day when my partner was in the shower I made a fatal mistake in my secret mission to cover my smoking for good.
I cracked and had a puff out the window...
As the first few anxious puffs polluted my lungs the bedroom door all of a sudden swung open and there was my partner standing in the doorway looking awfully shocked.
He was of course really understanding, and I confessed all of it, but I did not need him to be understanding because I knew what I was doing was nasty and wrong. So that afternoon I smoked my final cigarette.
As I breathed that hideous smoke into my lungs for the last time, I was frightened, but my decision was last and knew I could cause it to happen.
That night I was watching an apple iPhone commercial informing me that there is an app for everything .... Then it struck me.
Perhaps I could use the power of my iPhone to help kick the soiled weed.
I fired up the app store and typed in..."quit smoking through hypnosis".
There it was, the thing I had been missing, a very rated iPhone app with enthusiastic reviews from ex-smokers.
I downloaded the app and watched the instructional video...
Essentially, the way that it works is that you lie down and hear a 45 minute session once every week that brainwashes you against smoking. You then kill the cravings with a twenty-two minute booster session that keeps you robust everyday..
So I got comfortable and let myself be taken into the sector of hypnosis ;- )
I did not remember much about the session when I woke up, and to be honest I did not feel that dissimilar. But somehow I got through the 1st day without too much pain...
The day after I listened to the booster session and that became another non-smoking day.
Well I think that you know how this story ends...
I was able to stay smoke-free for a month without longings, and then for a whole year!
Now I class myself as a non-smoker for life, and I know it sounds cheesy, but I feel very good.
You may be thinking how this all occurred so you can do the same?
Well I'm no hypnotist but for what it's worth, I think I was able to give up so simply because I first made the firm 100% decision never to smoke again, and then had the hypnosis course to help with the cravings.
If you are really sick of smoking I think this stuff might work for you too.
