No, I didn't say that at all. I am saying that if in order to quit drinking one feels they need an approach, then the approach that will "work" will be the one that they believe will work. If one doesn't believe an approach will work then it most likely will not "work". Similar to a placebo, it works because you believe it will, not because it actually does.
