Acupuncture to stop smoking
When a good friend of mine recommended acupuncture to stop smoking, I was a little bit skeptical to say the least. She was in the middle of an acupuncture continuing education program, and was filled with zeal. She was learning some new tricks of the trade and wanted to try them out naturally. I did not really think it would work, but I figured it was worth a try. When she offered me free acupuncture to quit smoking, I thought I would be crazy not to give it a shot.
I had been through acupuncture treatments before, and I knew that they were very relaxing and mellow. I figure that at the very least I would have a relaxing time and, feel more refreshed than when I came in. Besides that, I could use any stop smoking help I could get. I was approaching 30 and I knew that, if you don't quit before the age of 30, your risks of smoking related illness increase tremendously. I figure that acupuncture to stop smoking might get me to the point where I could finally quit for good.
I had expected to have a definitive opinion about the stop smoking acupuncture. I figured that either it would work well or it wouldn't work at all. What I found out was that, While the results were good, it was hard to determine What role the acupuncture had played. Certainly, the fact that I was able to quit after the acupuncture to stop smoking was a good sign. For the first time in my life, I finally stayed away from smoking for more than a month. Then again, I was already prepared to quit at that point. I was Also taking anti-smoking pills when I went there, and they were helping me somewhat. What I think happened was that the acupuncture to stop smoking tipped me over the edge. Along with everything else, it was just enough to give me the nudge I needed to quit for good.
If you're trying to quit and have the opportunity to try acupuncture to stop smoking, I would highly recommend it. It really does cut down on the cravings noticeably. I think that for some people it might not be enough alone, but if you have the will power, it could reduce your cravings enough to really give you the edge you need. Quitting smoking is a deeply personal and extremely difficult process, and every situation is different. Still, I think for pretty much everyone, it can help.
