I am 99% sure that my As much worse off 50 year old uncle did this method(and about 10 tries at rehab) and he came out and went to the bar in a week and drank. The family had put up the money, and they were deveastated.
They also tried a different method, it was some type of brain reprogramming, no program, no AA, no Higher power. He went to the bar next day after that one.
The truth is,if he does not want to stop, he will not. If he does not come to it on hs own, he wont have REALLY come to it.
just my information...
