When I stopped smoking, I was at 10 cigarettes a day and on Zyban. I had been smoking for 7 years, and I spent most of that time trying to quit. Nothing worked for me.

I heard that hypnosis worked for some people, so I thought I would try this CD since it was one of the cheaper ones. I wasn't very motivated to quit. I wanted to see what hypnosis was like more than anything. But then I listened to the CD one evening and never touched a cigarette again. That was three months ago.

I can't say I never had a craving after that, but the stongest ones lasted less than a minute. It really helps to follow the directions and take breaks like normal, just instead of smoking, you're supposed to sip on some water. I find I'm reminded to breath a lot deeper then.

I highly recommend this CD to anyone whoes trying to quit.

I had smoked for over 15 years about 1 1/2 - 2 packs a day. I was definitely a binge smoker and smoked out of habit, boredom, nerves. Like the other poster, I literally listened to this CD ONE TIME as I was going to bed, and the next day, I didn't smoke one cigarette. When I got a craving, I'd take a deep breath and exhale slowly (like the suggestion on the CD) and by the end of the breath, I'd stop and realize the craving was gone. It was that easy. If you smoke and think that nothing will work for you, I can't recommend this CD highly enough. It's been over a month now, I've stopped listening to the CD, and I haven't smoked at all and in fact, I have lost weight (the CD also gives a suggestion/guidance about not gaining weight). Every once in a while, if I am really tempted or in a really stressful period, I'll pop in the CD at night and listen to it, as a booster. But this time, I really feel like I have stopped smoking for life!

Thank you, Dr. Walton!

Thanks to the other two positive comments, I tried this hypnosis cd. Ugh! During the relaxing hypnosis there is a big gong noise going off the whole time. So, the guy is telling you to imagine being on a raft and relaxing all the while the big gong noise is going off being obnoxious and distracting. I couldn't relax!!!!!!!!! I wouldn't recommend this cd to anyone - unless you want to poke fun at hypnotism cds.

Ok, this download is an obvious attempt to just collect money by somebody who has labled themselves as Dr. or is a Dr. in another field. The trinity of hypnosis tenets were broken on this one & it is why it doesn't work. 1) Poor images - difficult to imagine - to far from reality = poor relaxation. 2) Varying voice volume and tone = poor relaxation & trust of the hypnotist 3) Use negative words - the human brain applies a deductive/defeative interpretation to the action the "no" of "stop" is applied = defeatism regarding the action. Save your money & time and find a different stop smoking mp3 to buy.
