Good post, Hummy. I've used accupressure with varying results for a lot of things, including withdrawal symptoms. Some worked very well (i.e. dizzyness, general aches and pains), but some did nothing at all. That may very well have been my fault by not doing it right. For those who are struggling, this could be a good method to use.

Some of you already know that my best friend is a psychologist. She has a colleague who incorporates hypnosis and acupressure in her sessions, and has had great success helping people quit smoking. Apparently, acupressure is safe and can be done at home alone. If you search the net for emotional self healing, a book will come up that is all you�ll need. I checked one out at the library. The first few chapters are rather dry, but read them anyway. For those who have difficulty with NRTs and don�t feel comfortable going cold turkey, this might be a safe alternative. Acupressure is being used to allay many emotional, anger, anxiety, and relaxation difficulties. Have a great RELAXING, SMOKE FREE weekend everyone. Not cravin', never cavin'.

Hummy, Thank you for suggesting alternate ways to quit. It is up to the member and their doctor to decide what is best for them and their quit. We have not researched any of these methods, but encourage members to speak with their physician and read through the knowledge within the site to provide a better indication of what is right for you. Please post often with questions and concerns and know that quitting is always the right choice :) Keep Strong, Josie _____________________ The SSC Support Team.
