Thanks for asking!
I am a little disappointed in how the acupuncture is working.... I'll try and keep this brief, LOL.
Apparently, they can treat several addictions and the treatment for each is different, but very similar. I have drank Mt. Dew for over 20 years. In the last few years, it got pretty bad. I cut back a couple times, but you never saw me without one nearby. Well.... after the 3rd treatment, I can't stand the stuff! I finally drank one recently out of desperation (literally nothing else to drink) and I was able to drink it. Overall, my caffeine intake has really dropped. Still need my coffee, and I like tea.... Point is: she killed my Mt. Dew and half of my caffeine intake. So, I had to go through caffeine withdraw, AND nicotine withdraw....
So far, I still smoke, but half as much as I was. I had to take a break from the acupuncture. Partly because after a while... you kind of get sore, and also because I was paying out of pocket. If it was working faster, I might have forked over some more cash, but it seemed like it worked to a point, then kind of hit a rut. I plan to try again in a couple weeks. Maybe it will work like the first few did and I'll cut it in half again.
