Tea&Biscuits Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 Hello guys, as you all might or might not know, i have in the past had a real issue with booze and i am one of them people that if i have one drink, basicly im out for the night and wont stop drinkin till the booze (any booze) has ran out! NOt funny really as I have in the process over the years damaged my liver....and i stopped drinking (well actually its binge drinking as i would only ever drink on a friday!) all last summer, however recently since jan my behaviour was gettin back into old habits, i was getting hammered every friday and so last week I decided to give up drinking again! But this time I am going to give up completely (i think and hope!) Soooooooooooo my mate who is a hypnotherapy nurse (for smoking clinic) put me under and has programmed me not to drink! It was so weird while i was under, it was like i was so heavy and i couldnt move my legs or arms and my hands felt so swollen and i couldnt even open my eyes! it was so mental! Then when she was using the word alchohol i could feel this immense emotion inside me, like i wanted to start crying.....? You see the thing about me is that booze has wrecked lots of lives in my family so i have issues with it, and the weird thing is that i hate smoking, dont even think about it, yet when im drunk i cant stop smoking! So for me, giving up drinking is the best thing for me, although so many people keep saying to me "oh you dont have to give up completely, you can have a few now an then" which really annoys me, imagine sayin to a smoker "ahh stop being silly you can smoke a few now an then!" Anyway she did hypnosis for about an hour and it felt like 10 mins and it took me ages to snap out of it properly i felt really dizzy and weird! Ok well i do feel more positive and upbeat today about stuff an weirdly i havent been that hungry! Usually im terrible eating fruits/cereal and just being hungry all day, but just havent felt like that today like i have an inner peace or something! Only time will tell if it works, but does anyone else have a similar experience, or do people think its total bolloxxx? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleur Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 Hypnotherapy worked for me and smoking so I do believe in it. It's damned hard changing your life and it's great that you're trying. I hope it works for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Git Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 (edited) I've absolutely no experience of it, but I hope it works for you. Isn't there something on telly soon about hypnotherapy? Paul McKenna perhaps? Edited July 4, 2005 by The Old Git Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinkydevil Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 Worked for me too. I now think I'm a penguin in zero gravity when people say the keyword. Damn that Ronricco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tea&Biscuits Posted July 4, 2005 Author Share Posted July 4, 2005 One thing i noticed is that about 4 people have asked if i wanted " a drink" meaning a cup of tea and ive just been saying "no thanks" and then goin to make myself a drink!! Spooky! maybe she programmed me to say NO to all drinks!! LOL!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumble Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 Tried it for smoking - no good for me, I would have LOVED the kind of result you seem to have achieved. Complete waste of a bundle of cash - and I didn't fight it (why would I?), I just never went 'under'. Pffft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tea&Biscuits Posted July 4, 2005 Author Share Posted July 4, 2005 Hey Grumble it was hard to go under, but i think cause i was tired anyway and am quite a relaxed person, it was easy? but there were times when i could hear a police car goin past that i started to feel like i was coming up! Thats th only way i can describe it like you are under water and youkeep goin deeper and everything goes dark, then little things like a noise can start to bring you back up? I found that as i was going under i started to get agitated, i started itching and feeling wound up, but then she started talking about a cloud coming down and enveloping me completely and making me feel safe and secure! It was lovely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellyiom Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 that sounds amazing- good luck with it, regardless of the treatment, it's you getting the results and you deserve the credit. Ron-effin Ricco! what a blast from the past... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret Taylor Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I had hypnosis as I ha a phobia of needles, I didn’t feel that I went under but after 45 years I have had all vaccinations to go on holiday,tetanus,flu and 3 Covid vaccinations. I am amazed at myself because I couldn’t even go in a room if I knew that there was even a chance they were giving injections. Thinking of trying it for weight loss.

forbetterhealth Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) Exam stress hypnotherapy is an effective method of increasing self-assurance, decreasing nervousness, and fostering the capacity for inner peace. The key is to find your equilibrium and ride the wave of dread rather than being swept away by it.
