Anyone tried this? I thought it to be kinda hokey hocus-pocusy kinda stuff, but....seems to be pretty successful from what I've read. I lack self control, and I've gone days cold turkey only to cave to temptation and have an analog or use my 901. I love the idea of E-cigs, but I want to be free of nicotine addiction, whether it be e-cig, marlboro lights or snus. Last night tried quit-smoking hypnosis for the first time. It was very strange, a little bit surreal to say that least. Put the mp3 on (I downloaded like 5 different ones), turned off all the lights and layed down to listen. Very soothing voice. Maybe it was placebo effect but this morning I didn't even think of having a cig or vape first thing I got up. I had 2 cigs on my way to work, usually I have 4-5. I'm going to try it again tonight and every night, maybe it will work? Supposed to work on your sub counsious and thats what gets me relapsing over and over.

I use a form of self hypnosis to manage stressful situations but as a therapist I have used hypnosis in treatment. You can get loads of info about gradient relaxation from the internet by searching for the 2 terms together. The key to hypnosis is pairing the undesirable behavior with an undesirable image easily pictured mentally. For instance one could pair chocolate chip cookies with moldy or spoiled bread. Reinforcing the message with positive thoughts such as the lack of craving once the session is thru also helps. Hypnosis is all about interrupting habitual thought patterns.

I suspect that the money spent for sessions via a hypnotist also helps to overcome ridding one of undesirable behaviors. Make sure you find a reputable (and possible certified) interventionist. A good clue would be a money back gaurantee. Read the contract carefully because some state that if you receive any benefit, even simple relaxation or a sense of positive control, you are not eligible for the refund.

Good luck!

I use EFT on everything. EFT got me off those last few analogs I needed every day. Hypnosis works, but EFT is better.

EFT is based off of 5000 year old Chineese Accupuncture. Except EFT uses no needles.

EFT is 100% free, portable, quick, easy, can works on allmost anything bothering you physical and emotional issues.

EFT is also more commonly known as Tapping. I Tap on Everything. It is unbelievable untill it actually works for you!

I went to see "The Mad Russian", and although it may have worked for Billy Joel, it didn't do squat for me

Twenty years ago my step=brother did the hypnosis thing to quit smoking. He had three sessions and has been smoke free ever since with minimal withdrawal. It didn't work on me though. But the ecig sure has.

Nope, did not work for me at all...tried it 3 times, each time with a specialist for smoking hypnosis. I walked out afterwards and as soon as I got out, I lit up a cigarette :-)
Very expensive and did not work for me at all.

It's funny how it works great for some and not at all for others.

About 20 years ago, a friend of mine went with a friend of hers to hypnosis. She had no real intentions of quitting. She simply went so the friend wouldn't have to go alone. SHE has never smoked a cigarette since. It didn't work for her friend, though. That's so funny to me.
