Hypnosis can be a powerful yet benign weapon in your battle against drinking. Unlike other methods, it gives you the tools you need to battle your addiction proactively and effectively.

You may not know why you have a drinking problem but if you're reading this you realize that you have to do something about it. Perhaps you've tried a twelve step program or prescription drugs to control your urge to drink, used your own determination or done research about alcoholism. The fact is, you want to stop drinking and are looking for the right way to do it. Hypnosis is one of the most effective methods to stop drinking.

One of the best benefits of using hypnosis to stop drinking is that everything you do is controlled by one person-you. No one will be telling you what to do, giving you therapeutic drugs to take or signing you into a residential facility. By using hypnosis, you control your recovery in a way that doesn't interfere with other aspects of your life but improves them in every way.

Hypnosis is not mind control. Instead, it allows you to reach into your mind and use it to change your behavior in a positive manner. During your sessions your therapist will not be putting you to sleep but drawing you into a state of crystal clear awareness that gives you access to your subconscious thoughts. That part of your brain will receive positive reinforcement and powerful suggestions for behavior changes that will allow you to stop drinking of your own free will with no negative reactions.

Being hypnotized does not mean that you lose control. On the contrary, hypnotism puts you in charge of your thoughts and your actions. After helping you achieve a state of hyper-awareness, your therapist will give you several positive suggestions that will allow you to control your behavior and your cravings for alcohol. He or she will also help you boost your self-esteem and your confidence to insure your success.

After your session you will be refreshed and energetic. You will probably see some progress immediately. Some people need only one session to conquer their drinking problem but you may need several until you are in complete control of your drinking. Hypnosis is one of the few treatments that work without drugs, hospitalization, or costly psychotherapy.

You'll find other benefits, too, as hypnosis helps you stop drinking. You will be more confident, in control of yourself and you can finally silence that inner voice that criticizes everything you do. Hypnosis can help you stop drinking but it can also improve your life in every way.
