Quit Smoking with Hypnosis and The 2009 Great American Smokeout
As the 2009 Great American Smoke Out approaches, Joe Balog from West Virginia is celebrating his 2 year anniversary of being a non-smoker. Joe Balog began working with Dan Vitchoff, Board Certified Hypnotherapist and President of PA Hypnosis Center in Pittsburgh, PA in November of 2007 with a goal to quit smoking. He had been smoking for over 17 years and had tried just about everything else to quit smoking and nothing worked. He even tried a group hypnosis session and wasn’t able to quit. Joe’s mom, Bernice was looking around on the Internet and found PA Hypnosis Center’s website, www.pahypnosiscenter.com and decided to call and find out more information. When she called, she was pleased to find out that she and Joe could come in for a Free Consultation and Evaluation to learn more about how they could reach their goals with hypnosis. Joe and Bernice came in for their Consultation and were impressed by how relaxing the office was and how professional the staff was. Dan talked to both of them about what “a day in the life of…” looked like for each of them and asked them what they wanted to accomplish. Even though Joe wanted to lose weight and quit smoking, he decided to participate in a Hypnosis Smoking Cessation Program first and then work on the weight loss second.
Joe’s first session allowed him to wrap his mind around the idea that he was going to live the rest of his life as a non-smoker and his second session was his quit day. On Joe’s Quit Day, he left PA Hypnosis Center’s office is Pittsburgh, PA as a Non-Smoker free of cravings and desires and finally free from cigarettes! After Joe successfully quit smoking he decided to participate in a Weight Loss Program to improve his health and have more energy. Now, two years later, not only is Joe Balog celebrating his 2 Year Anniversary as a Non-Smoker; he has also lost over 70 Pounds. What Joe did is an amazing accomplishment! It can be difficult enough to quit smoking or lose 60 pounds but to do both within one year is truly inspiring. With Dan Vitchoff and PA Hypnosis Center’s help, Joe was able to turn his life around and improve his quality of life; he has more energy and his family is thrilled with his success.
