About 15 years ago my grandmother was diagnosed with lung cancer, Both my mother and I smoked at the time, So my grandmother sent us to a Hypnotist to try and Quit, My mother Has been Smoke Free ever since, I didn't make it thru the first day. I think the reason it didnt work for me is that I didnt commit myself to it, I didnt really have the want or desire to quit, and I didnt believe in it, I went in there thinking it was Crazy and a waste of time. I think I even sat there the whole time watching the clock, planning when i was goning to be able to "sneak" a cig. My mother was totally Committed and open to Hypnosis, and for her it was easy, She followed everything he said to a tee. Basically he replaced Her Desire to smoke with A desire to drink water,So now Moms addicted to water. (not a bad thing!)
