“I went to John eight years ago to help me stop smoking.  I had tried the gum and other things, but nothing worked. I had smoked for fifty years and was a confirmed heavy smoker. I liked his approach form the beginning. What I liked the best is that I could continue to smoke between the first and second sessions and smoke less between the next sessions. I believe that there were four sessions. During each session I would don head phones and John would speak to me in his soothing voice and I became quite relaxed. He would not chastised me for smoking or talk to me about the hazards of smoking--none of that. Between sessions, I would listen to the tapes of each session at home. I thought that I could never quit, but I did thanks to John.  The first few days were not as difficult as I envisioned. I have not smoked since nor have I had the urge. My nicotine addition is history thanks to John. I bless the day that he came into my life and he was not my first choice. I had an appointment with another hypnotist and he did not show for the appointment! Thank God, and I found John. Al M., Providence, RI”
