Smoking want to quit?

Have to share this

I finaly was able to kick a 30 +years up to 3 pack a day habbit in the past I tried the gums, lozengers, patch and hypno. Was not interested in trying the drugs.
I remembered seeing a news clip on laser therapy so did some research and found a laser therapist in N.H. the whole process took 2 sessions last less than 1 hr each session (he used a low level light around the ears and wrists) the results are awesome no withdrawal of anykind whatsoever no desire no reaching into pocket etc (on my 6th smoke free week)
Dont know if I can give name of therapist on here but any one that wants it please feel free to pm

November 24, 2006, (day after Thanksgiving Day), I woke up and said to myself, "I will smoke no more". No meds, no gun, no therapist, nothing other than my determination. Also determine to not gain wait during this process (heard tales from others), I began regular exercising. I stayed away from beer and taverns for 6 months. Needed to keep temptation away. I did gain a significantly increased appetite for fine wine.

During the process a close friend who had quit some ten years back gave me this advice; Remember he said, "If you take just one puff, you didn't QUIT smoking, all you did is cut down". Repeating that to myself when the cravings came cut me through. I can honestly say it's ben some time since I had that internal desire for a smoke. That is a very good feeling.

Congrats on maiking the move and good luck in managing you desires. Quiting for one months is better than not quitting at all!

Having been a non-smoker for 14+ years now, I wish you as much continued success at quitting as I have have had.

That was our downfall once. We had quit for over a year. Then we went to England. I could not sit in a pub with a half of bitter without a cigarette. So that started us both up again.

(In 1990 it was a combination of hypnosis and NLP that did the trick for me. Never looked back after that - even in a pub I'm fine.)
