WY residents Dear Editor: Recently CSC broadcast on The Journal a very Critical report of Inglewood Private Hospital in West Vancouver. We are not familiar with the situation in the hospi- tal. However, vur mother is a resident of Inglewood Lodge, which adjoins the hospital. Because we fear that the reputation of (he lodge will also suffer as a result of the CBC report, we are writing this letter. We have visited the lodge three times a week on the average since March 1987. We have found the lounge, praise lodge dining room and residents’ rooms to be comfortable, altractive, warm and spotlessly clean. The staff we have found to be attentive, courteous, patient and cheerful. Our mother says that the food is good and has said that she feels fortunate to have found a facility such as Inglewood Lodge in which to reside. We would like to publicly express our appreciation to Inglewood Lodge for the services it provides.

Does your chest feel tight? Do you get winded more easily than before? Do colds still plague you? Do you feel uneasy and self-conscious around groups ‘of non-smokers? Would you feel relieved not to need to smoke? But yet, you're still smoking: You've probably tried to quit. - Perhaps a dozen tirnes, You might have even tried to quit'a dozen dif- ferent ways. One time you cut back from two packs to half a pack a day, Yet another, you only smok- ed half each time you lit up. You've ‘tried ‘cold turkey’ twice — on New Year's Eve with friends for extra in- centive — and when’ that didn't work, during summer holidays ° when there was less stress in your life. Maybe you've spent as much “money on cures as you have on the disease. You've joined groups that have gone through hell together — keeping your butts in a glass jar, ” filling charts to mark your progress, .phoning a classmate for support when you felt you had to have a puff. And yet, you're still smoking.’ It’s not easy to quit smoking. It's an addictive habit that often defies willpower, and bacltsliding can become part of the game. Develop- ing an approach that helps you to feel better and produces results without weight gain but also offers re-enforcement along the way is critical. Hypnotherapy, a combination of hypnosis and counselling, can help you take control and feel more con- fident as you become a non- smoker. | believe if you are going to quit smoking it’s very impor- tant to enjoy quitting. Other- wise the chance of success goes Hypnotherapy will help ‘ make quitting enjoyable. It will enable you to look at your pro- ‘blem from a new perspective and will help you deal with the stress, emotions, and habit which are keeping you chained to cigarettes.
