Does anyone have any recent experiences regarding struggles with addictions and the process utilized to control and/or stop them?
It is not much of a story, but I recently (last year, I think) gave up smoking.
I read 'Allen Carr's Easyway to stop smoking' book and just stopped.
I am not exactly sure how it worked - I think there was an aspect of hypnosis.
I think it tries to change how you think about things.
The book advises you to not stop smoking until you finish the book and then have a last cigarette.
Half-way through that last cigarette I stubbed it out and threw it in the bin.
Not had any relapses.
I have smoked some recreational substances a couple of times - but I haven't smoked only tobacco.
tbh: Really weird.
(Not sure if this helps at all - I can go into more detail later if you want, but I am off homewards now.)
