I was smoking a pack a day for 15 years and I?ve been a nonsmoker for two months now. I have more energy and I?m sleeping better now. I also noticed that I don?t have a smoker?s cough anymore.
In the past, I?d tried Xanax to stop smoking and that didn?t work at all. I also quit cold turkey eight years ago, but when I was under a lot of stress I started smoking again. Whenever I tried to quit, I would realize that I either didn?t want to or that I couldn?t do it.
I?d been thinking about trying to quit and I?d read an article about hypnosis in the paper a couple of months ago that sounded interesting. I looked up A New Day Hypnosis on Citysearch and read through the testimonials. It sounded like something that I wanted to try and I felt like it would be a good starting point for me.
The change in my behavior was pretty immediate and I quit after the first session. I started to become aware of the fact that I?d gone to cigarettes for a lot of different reasons and connected smoking to a lot of different experiences. Every time I got anxious, I would notice a desire there, but it wasn?t overwhelming the way that it used to be. Once I addressed it, I was able to move on. Recently, I went on my first long drive without smoking. I still have those moments where I say to myself ?Something?s different,? and then I realize ?Oh yeah, I?m not smoking like a chimney anymore?.
At this point, I can?t remember the last time that I thought about cigarettes. Because I?ve been able to quit smoking, I feel more confident about my ability to make other changes in my life. I feel like a nonsmoker permanently because I don?t have the desire to smoke and I?ve learned new ways to deal with stress so that I won?t go back to it. I would recommend A New Day Hypnosis to anyone who wants to stop smoking because it?s worked for me.
