Day Marcel,
I just wanted to send you this message because I did a trip session with you a year ago, as I had read that the chances of successfully quitting smoking with psilocybin were much greater than with any medication or aid.
In the 35 years that I have smoked, I have made countless attempts to quit. I have tried willpower, patches, medication, vaping, and hypnosis, but only once have I managed to keep it up for a year. All the other times, barely a few days or weeks.
I am sending you this message now because I am on day 365 today and am still quit. But I must also say, compared to all my other attempts, that this is the first time I don't crave a cigarette at all anymore. They always say, after all: “once a smoker, always a smoker,” and in the past I indeed regularly had moments when I missed smoking, and it didn't take much for me to relapse. But this time is very different; I don't feel like a quit smoker, but simply a non-smoker. And that is a very important difference for me. I can hardly put it any other way, but I can only say that I am grateful that this one session has had such a big impact.
And financially too, because as a reward I put the money I saved aside every week, and this coming winter I will have saved so much that I can go to Lapland with my wife for a few days. That’s a nice bonus, isn't it? 🙂
In any case, thanks again for the wonderful experience.
Regards,
Stephan
