does hypnosis work for quiting smoking and or getting off drugs?

Question:

can it really change the way you think that much.

Answers:
I think it would help if you REALLY wanted to quit. I know a girl who tryed it but it didn't help her. She did admit that she wasn't really ready to quit smoking and was going to rely on the hypnosis to take her craving away. So I guess the power of suggestion doesn't work if there is no desire to go along with it.

Other Answers:
I don't believe it. I think if you want it that bad to go through those things that you are more or less doing it on your own. they are just reinforcing your thoughts.

yes it can.hypnosis is very powerful

Well i think it really depends on the person,,If the person really wanted to quit i think it will help..

I read above answer some where

I am a hypnotherapist and have been very successful with helping people change/transform their belief systems which are no longer working for them and yes, if moving beyond smoking or drug addiction/use is something that a person wants to achieve, then hypnotherapy can give them the tools they need to accomplish their desires.

There is also another self healing technique that I use alot in my practice and that is EFT "Emotional Freedom Technique" It works wonderfully for so many things and what's also nice about it is you can self teach and self apply so that makes it very inexpensive to use. For more information on this technique you can visit www.ahealingmind.com go to the EFT Page and it will offer you diagrams, a free manual download and there are also other self healing techniques on the site (the Pathways Page) that you might find of interest and benefit.

I have also used and been very successful with EFT and addictions.

acupunture works for smoking, not sure about drugs, but check w/ a chiropractor & they can help you.

Yes definately, both my husband and I smoked a pack a day and after one group session we have not touched a cigarette, it has now been 1 1/2 years.
You can go to a cheaper session , people tour and come to the area, usually done in a nearby hotel, check your local newspaper listings or check it out on the web, they also usually are money back guarantee, for $40 what can you lose?

yes it does help also acupunture
