You are probably going to groan in despair when I say this, but I read that it takes several months to get it down pat. Keep working at it, but don't make it a chore. Listen when you really want to, not just when you are bored. Listen at times you feel suggestible. It will work, there are success stories about it.
I don't listen to the files as much as others, but I engage in self-hypnosis personally. That's a little bit harder to do than just listen to a file, but with practice, I got it. Anyway, I found that there were times I felt more suggestible. Having a load of free time, I'd hypnotize myself. Guess what? When I really felt like being hypnotized, I'd have a much better result than if I was just bored and needed to kill time.
In summary: Don't try so hard that you get frustrated, but do keep trying it. Persistance is the key, something you apparantly have plenty of if you can go a whole month. :D
