Yesterday was Thanksgiving. I was worried that I would click back to my old self. One thing about the Holidays is that I used to drink a lot. Last year, I had about 5 or 6 beers and another 4 or 5 glasses of wine at dinner. I thought that I would have a miserable time staying away from beer and wine.

 As it turned out, I had  glass of wine with dinner. Period. I felt satisfied without the desire to keep filling my glass. You see, the Alcohol Freedom program helped me to gain control. I can’t believe how this has changed my life. For starters, in the 30 some days that is has been since I quit drinking, I have saved about $300 by not buying beer or wine. I have spent more time with my family, and I got off my lazy ass and started to look for a new career. My productivity has skyrocketed!If you haven’t made the decision to quit drinking yet, consider this. At, say, $10 per day, you spend about $3,650 per year – $36,500 per decade. Oh my God – I have spent over $100,000 on beer and wine over the past 30 years. Don’t let this continue. Make the Change Now!.

I Quit Drinking November 23, 2007

I needed to quit drinking. I didn’t particularly want to, but I really needed to. You see, my favorite food group was beer, and I always mapped out my day to make sure I was near a beer when I wanted one.

For nearly 30 years (I am only 48), I have been a beer drinker. I really enjoyed wine too, so that only added fuel to the fire. Beer drinking was a habit that became a huge part of my life. No, it took over my life.I never had any luck with slowing down or quitting. The longest period of time that I went without a drink was 5 days. I even tried hypnosis with a local hypnotherapist. The 9 week program was a failure. I didn’t want to give up on hypnosis, though. I had to find something that would work for me. I finally found help through Wendi Friesen’s web site, www.wendi.com.Wendi’s Alcohol Freedom CD program is a tremendous breakthrough! Wendi created a six CD program with a very specific outline for success. I listen to one track in the morning upon awaking, and another track in the afternoon or evening, usually at bedtime.

I wish that I could explain to you how this works, but I can’t. The only thing that I can say is that the freedom from the constant internal conflict about alcohol are gone. I just don’t think about it! Beer just doesn’t matter anymore.

Early in the program, I didn’t tell my wife that I was going to quit drinking. I was on my out the door to pick up a pizza when my wife yelled, pick up a six-pack, too. When I got to the Pizza shop, I approached the beer cooler, but I could not open the door. I am not saying that I could not physically open the door, I am saying that a subconscious force simply made the decision not to buy beer. I was elated that I wasn’t having the internal argument: should I buy beer or shouldn’t I. I simply didn’t!

I still have to get used to the lifestyle changes that come from quitting drinking. Last night was Halloween, and it was always fun to drink with the neighbors as the kids were trick-or-treating. As a non-drinker, I have to get used to the fact that I won’t be drinking in social situations. I got through it just fine.

Life is good and getting better! The other day, instead of going out for a beer or three, I stayed home. I was sitting on the couch before dinner when my son came and sat down beside me with a book in hand. For the next 20 minutes we read about the Top 50 Players in the Majors. It dawned on me that a 9 year old boy (and a 12 year daughter) need a real man for a Dad, not one who would spend time with a beer rather than his family.

If you need reassurance that hypnosis can work, call me. There is a real person behind this post. My name is Dave. Call me at (412) 352-7681.You can do this. It is easier than you think. Take action to improve your life now!
