My good friend has been smoking for 30 years and just this week he told me that he has given it up completely..okay no biggie..I mean, people say that 5 times a year and then start up 5 more times, but his story is notable for the following reason: He told me he has NO cravings. Now it's only been a couple of weeks but no cravings?? Right after you quit wouldn't the cravings be the strongest?

Anyway, he goes on to tell me that it's hypnosis. That hypnotherapy is the thing that has worked for him.

I’m curious if anyone out there has tried hypnotherapy for weight, for smoking, for anger, for public speaking, for confidence building, for dating,…you get the idea, essentially for any reason at all.

One last thing, before everyone goes running for the first hypnosis thereapy shingle. It’s a bizarre fact that the precise mechanisms that work in the brain during hypnosis remain a mystery. For that reason hypnosis is one of those mysterious, though apparently in many cases effective, therapies that may carry with it a risk. But perhaps the risk is worth it.

Tell me about your experience if you’ve had one.

one time i was having dinner with a cute woman. was our first date. i began hypno on her by saying "you are very smart, you like me, you want to go home with me." she smiled
and told me i was pathetic. i gave up on hypnotherapy after that. good topic Mark.

Butts off the beach ??? The one thing that works for anyone is the best thing for you or your friend . The best thing to do is quit no matter what it is that works right ?. The more your around people who smoke when your trying to quit the harder it is to quit! Ive found when your ready to change you do feel so much better. Good luck and health to all. Former 20 yr. smoker 7yr off. Thanks Mark

Sorry Mark, I never smoked one cigarette or joint ever, so fortunately in my own case, I can tell you I don't need the hypno deal. I learned by example when I was a bit of a younger one from other's mistakes what not to try, experiment with or do in my own life.

As for your friend, I wish him a lot of luck. Smoking is a very tough thing for millions to kick. It was at one time very fashionable to do, but very well covered up too.

Anyhow wish him well and hope he stays off the cigarettes. Its the better way to live.

one time i tried aroma-therapy. wore some musk scent cologne. was mistakenly thinking it drives women wild. woman told me she could not stand the smell of musk. we had another date. this time i stopped at Bullocks Wilshire and spritzed some women's Alfred Sung brand

(the clear color, NOT the yellow one--make sure by seeing both!) introduced in 1986--citrus, green florals, and musky, woodsy notes on my neck. That scent must have something in it that turns women on. i think the fragrance is wonderful when a woman wears it. we went to a movie. before the film started she put her hand on my knee. i was aroused for the rest of the night. went back to her place where i brushed my teeth. she lit a candle, offered me a beer and we fooled around. it was a pleasant evening and i have respect for aroma-therapy.

I quit smoking cold turkey, no hypnosis January 9th. I just used self hypnosis... i told myself I wasn't going to smoke anymore and haven't.
I didn't get cravings, but I did gain weight.
It's all about will power, some just have more than others.
Good luck with your friend and hypnosis. cheer him on. I don't think I could get hypnotized.
