Hi! Just want say best wishes to you
I'd quit now, dates don't really work, at least not for me.
I'll just fail on that date and make a new date, it's like a comfort for me, " I can drink today with peace of mind because I'm quitting next monday"

I planned to stop drinking a lot more than I really did. And when I did it didn't last very long. Sometimes only a week but I could go up to a month or two. The longer and more you drink the harder it is to come out of a bender. The last few times were really bad - shakes, sweats, shivers, hallucinations. Drinking and then drying is pure hell. I don't have to worry or go through it again though - as long as I don't drink.

Just had a tremendous "Duh" moment. I was making my plan to quit when I realized that I'm terribly good at hypnosis and self-hypnosis. I've gotten all the results I wanted with it but I never thought about using it for my addiction. Which is weird. It's a side-effect of hiding from admitting that I have a problem I suppose.

Anyway, just finished my first session and it's been great. I'm going to use it to get rid of the addiction.

I'm still baffled that I didn't think about this earlier. Oh well, better late than never...

I would face my addiction head on recognising & accepting

I think your intentions are good but i doubt it will work

Hypnosis has worked for me for everything else. It even got me to quit smoking a decade ago. Got rid of my marijuana habit. And my first session worked well and in a similar way. So I'm certain that it will work.

It's just the element of alcohol addiction that makes you filter out the fact that it's a problem that made me not think about using it for that. I've even used it to become a functioning alcoholic... Not a good approach.

Btw, can't resist: stars still shine without darkness, you just don't see it.

I found you this it has been discussed before http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/...tried-aid.html

Jgreen the sig is a metaphor in relation to sobriety not a scietific fact to say they need darkness to shine

sorry couldn't resist lol

If you honestly think it will work then by all means let me know if it works

Good luck friend and i hope 2015 is seriously awesome for you

It depends on how good the hypnotist is and I happen to be a really good one. Especially with myself.

I know about the sig. It was just a fun observation.

I'll let you know if it works.
