Guest guest Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 This one is going to sound totally nuts - but as a smoker who's tried a number of different methods.... my girlfriend had her ears stapled by an accupuncturist (sp?) in Denver CO over 15yrs ago. He claimed it would be instant & to clean out ashtrays etc b/4 b/c after the treatment it would make you physically ill to smell it. It worked for her. She had to keep the staples in for 2 weeks I think. So I went w/DH to try it. It was only $15 ea at the time & he said he'd guarantee & re-do if necessary. It didn't work for us. For a couple of reasons, maybe we weren't ready, maybe we were just weak willed, but for me I couldn't stand the staples in my ears. It didn't hurt or anything, but I am a 'picker " so after many yrs of picking at zits, scabs, ears, etc they made me crazy & since I kept touching them I ended up pulling them out early. The gut actually put a drop of super glue on the top to help keep it in place. My dh kept his in longer, and he said he wasn't craving but in the end I think cuz I failed he gave up trying. to this day my girlfriend is smokefree, her dh went back to smoking a few yrs after having his done, but it doesn't bother her she still has no cravings or desire to restart. I'm thinking about seeking out the hypnosis. but since I'm in a rural area in the middle of nowhere (currently under 20in of new snow), I'll probably have to travel aways to find someone reputable. its on my list of things to do! mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
