My experience has been that when something appears to good to be true, it usually is.

A cure for alcoholism...??? A cure for mental illness..???? The person who truly had such a cure would be making millions. Self knowledge, meditation, and such are nice and can be helpful to recovery but true recovery is not as simple as thinking a problem away. If people had that much power we would all be millionaires, there would be no war, famine, hate, or crime. It is a nice pipe dream. Just my humble opinion
