went to my last session today, which was much better than last week. Not so much because I felt any different but because the guy siad some useful things - I've got a CD of the session and when I'm not so tired I'll got through it and try to remember what they were!!
I've been thinking about what everyone has said about it, and I
was very grateful to be feeling relaxed and calm, whatever the reason!
And when I was on my way there and wondering how I would feel afterwards, the thought suddenly popped into my mind that I never went to hypno in order to stop drinking ..... I went because I had already stopped and was finding it hard (and slipping up), and it was only ever intended as a tool to provide me with some support - not as the means to an end.

Does that make any sense?? In a way I think I was setting myself up to have a drink if the hypno "failed" (which of course would be someone else's fault and not mine!!!!!)
So I'm not going to even think about whether it "worked" or not or whether I was properly hypnotised or not ...... all I'm going to focus on is not thinking about drinking (and yes, it is SOOOOOO nice to have those times when I dont think about it!!). And I'll keep listening to the tapes - any help is better than nothing in relation to where I've been.
anyway, it is getting late and I still have a few things to do before I get to bed so I shall head off now and hope you all have a great Tuesday!!
