Addictions / Compulsions
Addictions may be substance based such as smoking, drugs (cannabis, cocaine, painkillers), chocolate or alcohol or behavioural such as gambling, cleaning, stealing,
nail-biting, gaming, and shopping to name just a few.
Attempts of Stopping
Whatever your addiction might be you've probably tried to stop, some people hate themselves for doing it, but no matter how hard they tried to stop the addiction seems to ambush them at their weakest moments.
Addictions are always full of false promises, hence I focus on the psychological elements driving the behaviour which are generally more important than the physical components, although physical elements are part of some addictions.
Hypnosis can give your unconscious mind the help it needs to see through the lies and choose another option in place of your addiction.

"Such as are thy habitual thoughts, such also will be the
character of thy mind for the soul is dyed by the thoughts."
Marcus Antonius
