Kay's Commentating Personality: How I learned my mother was hypnotized…
…I purchased a stop smoking tape by Barrie Konicov as I had been trying to stop smoking on my own. I succeeded for 18 months but then started smoking and drinking again. Both had gotten worse since quitting. I think it is possible this was due to ideas put into my head about that while attending AA, this was the thinking of some. I purchased the tape for support while trying to quit and found it to be very effective. My desire for cigarettes has stopped. Any desire I might feel briefly is from those who smoke with whom I associate. The script used was helpful and I learned I smoked most when I was angry or others were projecting the smoking when they were angry, likely at the inducement to smoke. I had not fully recovered my memories from my childhood which likely contributed. What I had yet to learn was what can happen in social settings and verbal discourse and this was my weakness while attending AA. I clearly understand I was conditioned by the television to be more receptive to permitting this to happen to me.
