Alcohol Abuse & Smoking

"I am a 54 year old woman who consumed large amounts of alcohol over the past 24 years.

I met a man who wasn’t prepared to accept the intoxicated side of me.  No guilt trips, no threats, he just said, you are a beautiful person and I love you very much, but I am not prepared to take on the horrible ugly side of you when your drunk and don’t remember what you said or did the next day.

I didn’t want to do the alcohol programs ...  I researched and there was drug therapy, program therapy and hypnotherapy.  I chose hypnotherapy. I located Christine via the Hypnotherapy Association.  I attended three sessions 5 months ago and now alcohol doesn’t even cross my mind.  I go for drinks after work and have a non alcoholic beverage, what shocks me back to reality is watching people getting intoxicated and changing into weird/ugly people…remembering I was there once and am so glad I’m not now.

I had more hypnotherapy with Christine just 5 weeks ago to give up smoking. I have had two sessions and it feels like I have never smoked.  I smoked nicotine from the age of 14.  All different strengths, filtered, non filtered and even menthol.

“I am a very, very happy person!”  I have no addictions/crutches and hope I can live the next thirty odd years (what a waste of the last 24 years) getting to know myself again and enjoying life with my partner and grandchildren.  It feels so good to wake up happy, without a hangover and smelling of cigarettes .....

The bottom line is, Hypnotherapy is drug free, I was aware of what I was being told the whole time, there is no commitment to a group, its quick, effective and pain free.  I just went and did it, no one had to know, no one had to be around to encourage or support me.  It was my decision and I did it for me…

Thankyou Christine for helping me."
