it's an old computer I got for 20 bucks from the local library. Doesn't do much at all. But thanks for the suggestion!

I don't have a programmable CD player either, and I was able to do the whole 100 days. Since there are only 2 sessions per CD, you only have to worry about the first session:
CD 1: The first track is the introduction, which doesn't have you doing any sort of relaxation outside of getting comfortable. I didn't have any problem being awake enough to turn it off.
CD 2: Session 2 is the first track. You are doing hypno at that point, but there's a lot going on in that session and I've always woken up just when he tells you to.
CD 3: Session 4 is the first track. I must admit that I did snooze a few minutes into Session 5, but I appear to have survived it unscathed. 
Beth, just start the program. You don't need a programmable CD player, it's just a help. Even if you don't do it perfectly, I think it will make you feel better.

As long as you know the length of each track, you could set your alarm clock to go off a minute or two after the track is supposed to end, just in case you don't wake up to turn it off. I've done that as well. I'm telling you, it's so worth it.

Yes, that was so thoughtful of Ginger. But, I have a hard time accepting "gifts" just because I'm too poor to pay for my own stuff.

Beth,
This could possibly help you. Say Thank You and pay it forward one day!
I did hypno for the last 100 days of my pregnancy. The day I gave birth to my son, I was symptom-free for about 7.5 months. Don't know if it was hormone related or hypno related, but I'm sure that both contributed.

One of the things the program addresses is how people who struggle with IBS for a long time can actually start throwing roadblocks in front of themselves (often subsconsciously) to keep their bodies in the same pattern. I think it's a way people keep themselves from trying something new that might fail, thus leading to more disappointment.
But - at this point there is literally not one single reason for you to not accept the program as a gift, and do it. I've read through all the posts on this thread, and from an objective point of view all of the reasons given for why you haven't done or can't do the program come across as excuses. I think you're so beat down by IBS at this point that you're almost afraid to try yet one more thing - because what if it doesn't work?
Please accept the program you've been offered as a gift, and take a chance. The odds are so truly great that it WILL help, and you will not be disappointed. And the program will directly help stop the unconscious pattern of thought and behavior so that your body can change itself, and start functioning normally. It IS a change - and to me it actually sounds like you are fighting any change at all. But this would be a change for the better.
Please take a chance and just do it.

Beth, we've all been in financial crunches at one time or another in our lives. Okay, almost all of us. There's no reason why you shouldn't take up Ginger's offer. I really think you should give it a shot.

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so afraid this "last bit of hope" won't help. Then, where will the hope be found?
