Once you decide to stop drinking.....here's what you do next.

The first step in correcting an alcohol problem is acknowledging you have a problem. The second is really deep down wanting and willingness to correct that problem. I was recently asked how I actually have remained sober without much pain or stress. I won't lie to you, taking the first step and that first week was not a breeze but....I had help and it got easier by the day.

 I am going to tell you my secret... I came across a method by an Author named Craig Beck. The name of his book is Alcohol Lied To Me. This book can be purchased in audio, digital, or paperback form. I preferred the audio form because I just never have time to sit down and read. So, I listen while driving or cleaning or just what ever I am doing. As of today I have listened to his book at least 10 times. I kid you not. At the end of his book there is a hypnosis session that I listened to every night for 3 weeks, and still do occasionally. Even though many times I fall asleep while listening I know the message is getting through to my subconscious. There is that word again, "subconscious.!"

There is a companion audio book you can get also called, "Stop Drinking Hypnosis" which is just short hypnosis sessions back to back and is nice to have. I have used all the techniques in the book and even though I did not take the supplements I am beginning to do so because as Mr. Beck says it is important to follow every step in the plan.

  Here are the Supplements:
This is taken directly from Craig Becks book Alcohol Lied To Me:

1000MG Omega 3 fish oil supplement and take three of these a day either all at once or spread over the day.

Broad spectrum ‘once a day’ multivitamin, B Vitamin Complex

 50MG 5-HTP supplement with a sweet liquid at bedtime unless you are diabetic.

 Vitamin C

Other things that I do would include Yoga, and meditation. I will talk more about this in another post!
