So after the pretty trite and ho-hum intro- they tell you to close your eyes – why put it on a DVD?? I should have saved money and got the cd- but heck I thought there would be a swaying watch or a twirly pattern to hypnotise you. It put me to sleep twice- (I tried to do it after I had already quit). But then again, it is three weeks (I also used a patch for the first weekend). My wife also tried (after she had been off the smokes for a week) and it put her to sleep-but I was listening in the next room. Her rap tells you it is going to be as if you had never had tried a cigarette in your life– so that is why I said it does not work. It feels like quitting. Quitting is hard, and if I had never smoked a cigarette in my life, I wouldn’t be craving them when I wake up, after meals, and when I get off a plane, when I drive, etc. It has been three weeks. Yay! There is also a book I read called never take another puff (from an old quit smoking thing). Not taking another puff is more important because it is easy to quit, but really hard to stay a quitter. I know now my addiction is an adversary, and it is trying to trick me into smoking again. My Susan Hepburn DVD will be for sale. I don’t think her hypnosis actually worked, yet it did not hurt.
I bought the 2000 edition. I used this. Being highly adhd I didn’t make time to do it properly but played it in the background while going about my daily life. It did make quiting smoking easier. It didn’t make it crave free. I think the conscious mind yells “you are full of it!” to overly positive programing or affirmations. However, I believe the subconsious mind does work with them to make changes. Like I said it worked for me. I have been smoke free for 3 1/2 years and not going back.

The CD Hypnosis – Stop Smoking Within One Hour didn’t make any impression on me at all. It was a waste of money.
