In reply to Smoking - Auricular Therapy, posted by Broken on March 13, 2005, at 20:23:01
Oh my gosh Chris, I had forgotten about your decision to quit smoking! Good for you. You certainly have more strength than I do. Quitting Lamictal, cutting down on Effexor and quitting smoking. My hat is off to you my friend. The good news is that you are probably over 1/3 of the way to overcoming the physical withdrawal symptoms (if you experience any). So, keep up the good work! And thanks for the update on the auricular therapy. I am going to look into it and see if it I can find a place that does the therapy where I live.
Take care of yourself.

> As I mentioned recently, I tried auricular therapy on the 12th, and had a booster on the 13th, today. Not alot to say. They take basically a needle with an electric current and apply it to the nerve endings in the ears. It definitely seemed to curtail my urges. No visible marking where the needle was placed.

> Today, I was feeling the urge pretty bad, so I went back for a "booster" treatment. Same thing as yesterday, with a bit more pressure, current, and time applied. Left some obvious markings this time around too.
