Do you feel trapped in the bottle?
Alcoholism - Hypnosis the Number One tool used in the US to help work with your subconscious mind to control cravings and get your life back!
Battling the feelings of guilt, numbness, anger, sadness, and loneliness that come from substance abuse can be the most difficult part of your recovery. These emotions come and go quickly during healing and increase the urge to use again. Hypnosis can provide you with the tools to handle everyday life and these emotions again. Denial… again? Overcoming denial was the most important step in advancing to where you are in recovery now. Did you know that addictive denial is not a conscious act? The subconscious mind completely blocks the conscious mind's awareness of the nature of his/her addictive behavior and personality, replacing it with vivid misconceptions, created to support the addictive behavior. Positive emotions and motivations are perverted, denied, or extinguished. An individual eventually becomes almost zombie-like, and running on automatic, very unlike its former self. Lack of emotional control can motivate a relapse, which in turn starts the unconscious mind on its tirade of denial, unbeknownst to you. You need a tool to permanently defeat addictive denial and improve the subconscious mind’s behavior in order to return to a more productive way of life. Dissecting Jekyll and Hyde Ask yourself: Prior to your particular substance abuse, what was the nature of the original motivation and emotional reward of the drug? What did it seem to do for me that was good? The majority of us cannot truly explain what originally motivated today's behavior. Sometimes a certain smell, sound, scene in a movie, or reaction from another person can send us into a series of emotional reactions that are so habitual themselves that they have become uncontrollable. This is the subconscious mind steady at work. The reason that this point is so important is because treating addiction is next to impossible unless the reason for the first repeated use is identified. You need a tool to access your subconscious mind, learn what event(s) in your life caused this myriad of emotions that the subconscious mind is working on overtime to protect your conscious mind.

1. What is alcoholism?
Alcoholism, also known as alcohol
dependence, is a disease that includes the following four symptoms:
Craving --A strong need, or urge, to drink.
Loss of
control --Not being
able to stop drinking once drinking has begun.
Physical
dependence --Withdrawal symptoms, such as
nausea, sweating, shakiness, and anxiety after stopping drinking.
Tolerance --The need to drink greater amounts
of alcohol to get "high."
For clinical and research purposes,
formal diagnostic criteria for alcoholism also have been developed. Such
criteria are included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
Disorders, Fourth Edition, published by the American Psychiatric Association,
as well as in the International Classification Diseases, published by the World
Health Organization. (See also "Publications," Alcohol
Alert No. 30: Diagnostic Criteria for Alcohol Abuse and Dependence.)
2. Is alcoholism a disease?
Yes, alcoholism is a disease. The
craving that an alcoholic feels for alcohol can be as strong as the need for
food or water. An alcoholic will continue to drink despite serious family,
health, or legal problems.
Like many other diseases, alcoholism
is chronic, meaning that it lasts a person's lifetime; it usually follows a
predictable course; and it has symptoms. The risk for developing alcoholism is
influenced both by a person's genes and by his or her lifestyle. (See also "Publications,"
Alcohol Alert No. 30: Diagnostic Criteria for
Alcohol Abuse and Dependence.)
3. Is alcoholism inherited?
Research shows that the risk for
developing alcoholism does indeed run in families. The genes a person inherits
partially explain this pattern, but lifestyle is also a factor. Currently,
researchers are working to discover the actual genes that put people at risk
for alcoholism. Your friends, the amount of stress in your life, and how
readily available alcohol is also are factors that may increase your risk for
alcoholism.
But remember: Risk is not destiny.
Just because alcoholism tends to run in families doesn't mean that a child of
an alcoholic parent will automatically become an alcoholic too. Some people
develop alcoholism even though no one in their family has a drinking problem.
By the same token, not all children of alcoholic families get into trouble with
alcohol. Knowing you are at risk is important, though, because then you can
take steps to protect yourself from developing problems with alcohol. (See also
"Publications," A Family History of Alcoholism - Are You at Risk?;
Alcohol Alert No. 18: The Genetics of
Alcoholism.)
4. Can alcoholism be cured?
No, alcoholism cannot be cured at
this time. Even if an alcoholic hasn't been drinking for a long time, he or she
can still suffer a relapse. Not drinking is the safest course for most people
with alcoholism.
5. Can alcoholism be treated?
Yes, alcoholism can be treated. Alcoholism treatment programs use both counseling and medications to help a person stop drinking. Hypnosis has been proven to have lasting effects on the subconscious mind. Hypnosis helps to eliminate cravings, which are the number one; reason people go back to drinking. Treatment has helped many people stop drinking and rebuild their lives. (See also "Publication," Alcohol Alert No. 49: New Advances in Alcoholism Treatment.)
