Alternatives to AA for Alcohol Addiction
Each addicted to alcohol person is unique and so the program to help them with their alcohol dependency should be unique as well.
“AA is spiritual, not religious—now hold my hand while we pray.”
This was the kind of message Barry Hazle faced at a California 12-step-based treatment program he was ordered to attend in 2007 as part of his parole from drug charges. Alcoholics Anonymous encourages prayer to a “God as we understand Him” for help getting and staying sober. As an atheist, Hazle asked for alternatives. He was given two:
HYPNOSIS IS A VIABLE OPTION FOR ALCOHOL DEPENDENCE.
“I think that most people just don’t know that hypnosis can help people with their addiction to alcohol,” explains Dallas hypnotist Valerie Grimes, “too often it is associated with smoking and weight loss, however in our opinion those are dependencies too.
“Our program gets to the source of a person’s dependency…why they over consume and once that occurs, the emotional desire to drink fades away, naturally. We then use integrated medicine to restore the physical body and deal with withdrawal.”
Ms. Grimes wrote a book about her own experience with alcohol and how she overcame her dependence by getting to the source of the problem.
