    You have to really want to quit because it isn't easy.  Six of us in the office I was working in at the time made the decision to do it together.  We went for one hypnosis session.  Two went back to smoking relatively soon after that.  I don't know about the others as I changed jobs, but the last cigarette I smoked was the one I had just before the hypnosis session.

    At school I used to bite the plastic tops off pens and stick paper clips down my nails. I think the habits just died a natural death. 

    The slip-up was that the teacher would think I was eating something, but I actually ended up messily spitting out the bits of plastic.      This post was edited by Malizz at October 8, 2017 2:08 PM MDT
