This article by Luke O'Neil
is a compehensive take on
hypnotherapy as a valuable
smoking cessation tool. If
you're trying to quit, this is
definitely a must read. I tried
quitting through hypnosis twice;
private sessions- it worked for
awhile the second time- I lasted
two years; but I wasn't yet
ready to make the lifelong
commitment. But it helped.
That second series of sessions
gave me additional tools that
I have been able to employ to
completely ward off cravings
for the past five years. One of
the mantras I learned is the
graphic featured in my May 5
post, Quitting smoking is a
matter of willpower. I use it
any time I feel an urge, and
encourage others to repeat it
as necessary. As a behavior
modification practice, it has
been fantastic reinforcement
in my continuing quest to stay
smokefree. Hypnotherapy
works wonders for certain
behavior modification, and
smoking cessation can be
one of them. Read on...
