I started smoking when I was around 16, thinking it was cool I suppose. My dad smoked ever since I can remember, so maybe I wanted to be like him too... Who knows. Throughout the years I tried now and again to give up, and FAILED. Then having children I stopped for my pregnancies, but not long after the first few months I slowly had 1 now and again (in secret!!) sshhhh
And before I knew it I was back on the cigarettes again, still without my children knowing, but increasing having more. Over the years it was becoming more noticeable on my chest and I felt short of breath quicker, I tried hard to give up again, I read books, had patches, medication, a vape... I tried it all. Then a good friend recommended Hypnotherapy, I thought why not, I will admit, initially I thought that the money was a little steep, but I gave it a go... and after a 1 hour session.. NOW 2 years on, I have not touched 1 cigarette, not even had the urge for 1. I still can't believe it today! I have not once regretted spending the money, (I know I have saved it ten times over with not smoking)
SO SO proud of myself.... BECAUSE I know it was all me!!! Me and my powerful mind. With a little help of course to get me there ;-)
