Smoking sub-take 3-HST-take 1

[Patti]

Appreciate the update Patti, just know that your progress has motivated me to inform others about the Stop Smoking forever sub. I'm sure it will help them immensely.

Thanks

You're welcome Fonzy! And if that does transpire and any of those people need to talk to someone while using the program, I would more than happy to listen to them and try to help them through it.

Hey patti, how many hours were you able to manage using the sub for?
Just curious to know. Can I also know how many cigarettes a day you were smoking in a day?

I have been using it for 5 days now and the number of cigarettes have sorta gone down but the cravings are still there.

My mood has sorta improved as well. I was going through a major slumpy phase but have come out of it a bit.

Your insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Does it get better?

Hiya,

I think you're using the newest single stage program, whereas I used the 6 stage. I don't know if that will make any difference but I wanted to mention it. I think from what I remember reading, that the one you're using is stronger but I'm not sure of that. But being a single stage, I would think that you listen until you stop smoking, how ever long that is. One suggestion I would make, is there may or may not come a time when you feel it's not working or nothing is happening and want to stop listening. Do not stop! This may be the most important time to listen, try to listen even more.

I smoked for about 30 years, on and off. I would smoke about a pack a day, some days more, some days less.

I pushed the limits with this sub because I really needed it to work and to give it my best shot. Because it was a six stage, the only thing that I did that wasn't pushing it, was that I did only listen to each stage for 32 days. My subs are always playing in my bedroom (ultrasonic), so whenever I'm in my room,(mostly at night) I get exposure. But with the smoking sub, it was also playing on my laptop in the kitchen/family room area all day.

I'm not gonna lie, it was a rough road for me but I think everyone needs to factor things in for each individual smoker.

1) Your age
2) How long you've smoked
3) How much you smoked

Things like that. There's other factors too, but they all just factor in to how long it may take you to quit, not if you're going to quit or not. As for me, my smoking was very much a part of every single emotion I had. If I was sad, I smoked, if I was happy, I smoked and everything in-between.

The only thing that I did that I don't think I would do over, is force the stop time. I wanted to stop on a certain day to help me remember but in doing so, it was very forced and I probably made things much worse for myself. So I would suggest to just let it happen...it will! Try not to notice how much less your smoking. I do know how hard that is to do but if you just relax and let it do it's thing, it will be better for you. Maybe set some goal like in 4 or 5 months if you haven't stopped, and you feel you're doing everything right, let Shannon know. Because I think you should know by then with the one you're listening to.

I had one occurrence that happened within the last 3 weeks, where I was more angry than I think I've ever been in my life. I'm not really an angry person and don't like or feel this is a very productive emotion. But I was mad as hell that day! And the good news is that the only reason a cigarette came to my mind, was because I was amazed that I didn't need or want one. Check anger off my emotion list that I got through without smoking lol. Thanks Shannon!

Yes, yes, yes.....it gets better! I promise! Good luck but you won't need it!
