Survey: I need to know if anyone here has used hypnosis to stop smoking, as I just found out I have to have ?
Surgery & I know that for the amount of time i will be in the hospital and fairly stoned at that…i will definitely want to smoke especially because they tell me not to. I would actually have to go AMA and off the grounds to smoke which is not possible for what i have to do…so..in answer to my question..anyone tried hypnosis and if so did it work?
Thanks in Advance!

Years ago, I had surgery in a hospital that allowed smoking outside which was like 50 feet from my room, a service entrance actually. Trouble was, I was immobile for the first 24 hours just recovering. Afterwards, smoking would have been too much of a hassle even if I wanted to, which, as it turned out, I didn’t at the time.
My feeling was that since I didn’t have the urge, now would be a pretty good time to quit, anyway. So I did. No smokes and I was on my way to smoke free.
Then.. a buddy of mine, brought me a ctn. of smokes. Well, what do you get another guy in a situation like this? So there they were, in the drawer out of sight, across the rooom. I went home, with the ctn still unopened, and they stayed there not tempting me at all for a month or better. Then, one day, I decided I "wanted" a cigarette. I didn’t need it, I wanted it. So, I opened the carton, and a pack, and smoked one.
And then another, and another, well, so much for quitting.
Hypnotism works for some. Some folks have the propensity to be hypnotized, while others, simply can’t cross that barrier and are impossible to "go under". I don’t think I can be hypnotized, but never experienced any real attempt.

I did try it and no it did not work at all!!!!!! It was so lame, plus a waste of money.

I took out a self hypnosis program and it definitely helped me to stop smoking. I know many who did too and there’s hardly any expense except to spend time on it in your free time.
