So It Begins

So it begins!

 

I am finally ready to quit smoking and face this thing head on! After nearly twenty years of being a slave to cigarettes, I'm going to do what ever it takes to free myself from these damn things!

 

I know that many people have tried different approached to becoming smoke-free.

 

Some have been successful with nicotene gum and patches.

 

Some have been successful with shots and prescriptions.

 

Some have quit cold turkey and never looked back.

 

I know I need help, so I'm going to try hypnosis. I did a lot of research and asked family and friends for advice. I think I've found the person that I'll be working with. His name is Dr. Sewell. If you want to take a peek at his site:

I finally got up the nerve to call his office. My first session ( and quit day!) is in two weeks!

 

I'm kinda freaking out.

 

I'm not a heavy smoker. I guess I'm what you call a "normal" smoker. I smoke between 10-15 cigarettes a day, more if I go out for a night out on the town.

 

I'm gonna use this blog as my personal journal, a place where I can share my feelings and thoughts with others as I prepare to face this thing head on!

 

If anyone else is curious about Dr. Sewell, here's a Youtube video:

 

 

Wish me luck! :D

    Good luck Tina and congratulations on your decision! I have never tried hypnosis and I don't know anyone who had so I have no helpful information for you. I am curious though about all this. I really hope this helps you to quit and stay quit. I really hope you write about your experience.
