Marc Carlin changed my life! He will tell you I did it on my own but truthfully I wouldn't have done it without his expertise. My journey as a smoker was a long and painful one. I was a smoker for 9 years, I started in college. I told myself I would stop 3 months after I started because I didn't want my parents to find out. 2 years later I met my husband who was a non smoker at the time. In meeting me he started smoking again. A few years later he was diagnosed with POTS and the smoking was not helping. I couldn't help but feel at fault. He would always say, I can quit whenever I want to- I just don't want to. It's like a drug addict saying he doesn't have a problem and everything is under control. I on the other hand wanted to quit, I just didn't know how.
In February, 2014 I decided to make a lifestyle change. I started exercising, eating clean and using homemade beauty products.My husband's POTS was also cured with the eating clean and exercising. I felt 50% better than I ever has before but I knew I had to quit smoking.That was my biggest set back. I tried the gum, the patches, cold turkey- NOTHING was working. Until I started doing research on hypnotics. I had a friend once tell me a success story and I believe a lot on the power of the mind. That's when I came across Mr. Marc Carlin, I was on his website when I got this feeling of comfort- I knew he was the one! :) I spoke to him on the phone and he took the time to explain the process to me and right away I made an appointment. I made the appointment for the day before Brazil played the opening game for the world cup (if you know soccer and brazilian fans you know it's a nerve wrecking experience!)
I walked into Marc Carlin's office that day cool as a cucumber. We spoke about the past, about the future, we laughed, we even shared stories. There was such a comfort in the air, and speaking of comfort- that lazy boy chair! If it wasn't for my mind being interested in everything being said to me I would have fallen asleep. The season was interesting, what stuck out the most to me was mid session he asked me to think about all the great characteristics about myself. I thought, I'm smart, caring, funny, strong, I am a non smoker... right after that thought came to mind, Marc held on to my wrist and said, "you are a non smoker, you are a non smoker for the rest of your life." That was probably the turning point for me, my transition if you will, from a smoker to a non-smoker.
After the session was over and I opened my eyes and didn't feel any different, I didn't understand how any of what was said would change me from wanting to smoke, until I walked out of his office and got into a heated argument with my husband over the amount I paid to what he called the "scammer" aka Mr Carlin. I was upset because deep down inside I knew I wasn't being scammed. I felt like at a time like this he should have shown me support- I was really upset. But now I understand how important that argument was to prove to me the effects of hypnosis. Old Flavia would have lit up a cigarette right away but I did not crave it - no because I am a non-smoker. My husband still a smoker and a non believer went off in the middle of manhattan smoking away, mad at me for being mad at him and all I could feel at the time was this sad feeling for him. I felt bad he was still cuffed to his habit. I remember looking around and feeling bad for all the smokers. The sad look in their eyes, the stressed out facial expressions, the pacing around. It was then that I knew for sure I am a non-smoker. But just to be 100% sure, the next day I put myself in a situation that I thought I would be knocking on Marc's door the next day! I was watching the Brazil game in a house full of alcohol and smokers- again I proved myself wrong because I was still questioning the new me- the non-smoker me. For once I was happy to be wrong.
Before I end this long review of mine, I just want to say don't let the price of the session keep you from making the best decision you can ever make in your life, if you can afford to smoke you can afford to quit.
THANK YOU MARC CARLIN FOR HELPING ME END THE BAD HABIT. WITHOUT YOU I COULD NOT HAVE DONE IT ON MY OWN. I WILL FOREVER BE GRATEFUL. read more
