Question:Hypnosis, Pros and Cons......

Who has tried Hypnosis to quit smoking? I've tried cold turkey and the Patch and they have worked for me but after a couple of months I am back to smoking. Thoughts?

Answer:

I know you asked your question back in September but here is my two cents. I've tried hypnosis twice. The first person I saw, I had weekly sessions with....she started getting into past lives and other stuff and it wasn't clicking with me. I quit for 3 months. The second time I tried it was a one time $500.00 fee and the guy was really good, I was really motivated...I quit again for three months but I am back to smoking again. It's a horrible habit and I'm determined to keep trying unitl I am able to quit for good. Good luck with your struggle to quit the demon.
