Im 35 and have had a pack a day habit since I was 16. Heading to the hypnotist again next week, I tried it 2 yrs ago and it worked great, no side effects, no freakouts, but 6 months later I had a few more beers than usual, and started back up. I very rarely drink now and when I do I only have 3 or 4 tops, so Im hopeful this will be it. Ive had 3 other friends do the hypnosis thing and they are still smoke free, several years later.

Been off them 3 full years this past New Years. I was about 1/2 - 1 pack a day smoker from age 21 to 35. NYE 2005/2006 I had really bad Bronchitis and couldn't have smoked if I wanted to, the bronchitis lasted a week. I had been thinking about quitting so this gave me the opportunity, I made it my resolution. It was really hard, but being sick really helped. It gave me that 7-10 period that most people struggle with. I stuck with it and had some serious urges, but I was able to battle through them. 3 full years later (and 25 lbs of added weight) I really do feel much better. I would lend my support to those trying, stick with it! If I can do it, anyone can.


Good Luck!

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan
