1. I haven't had to rely on will power to see me through!
I hope you are well. I am and that is due largely to the fact that I haven't had, wanted or felt the urge to have one cigarette since I saw you… Thank you. I am amazed at how easy it has been, I haven't had any cravings just the odd thought now and then like 'I'd normally have a cigarette now' but that's it. Very soon after seeing you… I was in a wine bar and I was offered a cigarette and without thinking, the words came out 'No thanks, I don't smoke'. It made me laugh afterwards because it was said without me realising what I was saying, it seemed so natural.
What has been the best thing is that it's all occurred without trauma, I don't think that I've been particularly bad tempered and I haven't had to rely on will power to see me through, it's been fantastic and so easy.
So anyway, thank you again and if I ever fall by the wayside (which I can't see happening), I'll be on the phone to you in a flash - I really do enjoy being a non-smoker, it's quite liberating.

2. I no longer even think about cigarettes even at the pub!
I'm doing extremely well as a non-smoker as I no longer even think about cigarettes even at the pub!
As could be expected the most difficult days were immediately following our session and I remained sceptical about the effectiveness of hypnosis for the first week or so. However... I was, and still am amazed at how differently I view the act of smoking thanks to your changing my perception from that of a smoker to a non-smoker. This is where I have always stumbled in the past but it is no longer an issue. Where before I was constantly resisting the temptation to smoke, now there is no temptation and therefore nothing to resist.
I have no hesitation in recommending you to friends and colleagues, and have done so on several occasions already.
My fiancée and I both thank you,

3. All good news!
I have been meaning to contact to you because I have wanted to say a big thank you.
It has been 5 weeks now since I came to see you and I am pleased to say I have not had a cigarette. My taste buds and sense of smell are slowing starting to come back and I am loving it.
The whole thing hasn't been half as bad as I thought it would be and the only time I got any cravings... they were small ones...
My whole family are so proud of me…
Of course I am proud of myself, and I feel this shows as I am so much happier and more confident. I think as a smoker you tend to hide behind your cigarettes and not to deal with certain situations, since giving up smoking I now deal with things head on instead of running outside for a cigarette.
I can watch a whole film or programme on the telly without missing half of it to go outside for a cigarette, and go shopping without being ruled by cigarettes is great.
I still can't believe how easy it has been for me and I have been taking great delight in telling everybody (who'll listen) how long it's been since I gave up!! (especially those who didn't believe I could do it).
Lastly since I stopped smoking I have had an urge to go running again which I haven't done for years, I just want to see how far I can go without getting out of breathe, although it's still early days to do this I'm determined I will do it…
Once again I would like to say thank you very much for all your help.

4. Professional approach!
It's 7 weeks now without smoking...
Thank you very much for your help and very professional approach. I will happily recommend you and hope that I do not have to call upon you for any 'top up' session! If you want to check on my future progress don't hesitate, thanks again.

5. I haven't even felt tempted!
I am very happy to report that I am a non-smoker. I've now gone through all of my triggers and haven't even felt tempted, so life is good.
I do think of smoking sometimes but that's only in a "I would normally be smoking at this point" kind of way. It's very empowering to think well actually, I don't need it.
I have recommended you to quite a few people actually. If you do have any business cards/ brochures that you could pop in the post to me at any point, that would be really helpful.
Thanks a million

6. I can't believe that I don't crave them!
Yes I am still not smoking and am loving being a non smoker. I would like to say that I never think about cigarettes but I do now and again, mainly because I can't believe that I don't crave them! At the beginning I would get an empty feeling and not know what it was but then would realise that it was just that at that point I would normally light up, now I just fill the empty feeling with something else like... a job that needs doing. I do find that I am a lot more motivated and have bags of energy. I am positive that I will never want or feel the need to smoke again.
Thank you so much for helping, you made it so easy for me.

7. I don’t mind if people smoke around me!
Yes – I’m still a non-smoker – and still amazed how easy it has been. I do think of smoking quite often, but only from the point of view of thoroughly enjoying how good it is to be free of it.
A particularly good thing is that I haven’t developed an aversion to smoking, I haven’t become one of those smug ex-smokers that I used to detest, I don’t mind if people smoke around me – it is simply not relevant to me any more.
Which is a perfect result – much more that I had hoped for.
So I would say that what you have done was highly effective – I don’t understand it, but I know it worked for me.

8. I can’t believe how easy this is!
I just wanted to let you know that things are going really well – can’t believe how easy this is and I wish I had done it years ago!

9. I will never want to smoke again!
Just wanted to let you know that I've not had a cigarette since I saw you and am confident that I will never want to smoke again.
So, thank you so much, I'll definitely recommend you to my friends and family.

10. Exactly one year on, I still haven't touched a cigarette!
Don't know if you remember me - I came to you last year for help with giving up smoking. Exactly one year on (today) I still haven't touched a cigarette - and I just wanted to let you know… the best thing is how free I now feel.
Knowing that when I go out I don't automatically look for the smoking areas and getting stressed when I couldn't smoke. Not having to stand outside in the freezing cold while my non-smoking friends are inside in the warm and the best bit - my whole day not revolving round when I can next light a cigarette…
Anyway - thanks for your help last year
