Ghoster, I’m going out on a limb here, but I stopped drinking almost 18 months ago, via AVRT.....BUT I’m still interested in the process of ‘addiction’ and to that end, I read about it. I came cross the “30 Day Sobriety Experiment” by Annie Grace of the ‘book’ and I’ve followed it since stopping drinking, and cannot endorse it highly enough.
I wish I’d read it years ago, when I was wallowing and self-flagellating in the pit of addiction - only it didn’t exist then. It’s free, what do you have to lose, it’s just an emailed link to a narrative and a video, each day for 30 days, with the aim of influencing the sub-conscious, that thinks drinking is beneficial. It just may change your perception. I’m not affiliated in any way. I’m rooting for you!
