Parantumisia: Alkoholiriippuvuus
Healing from alcohol addiction
H.-P. W. (54), Bielefeld (Germany)
In the year 1993 I began to regularly drink up to five litres of beer a day on weekends. I would really "hang one on", that is, I would get drunk. Back then I would hardly drink at all during the week-only on weekends-and I felt I had it well under control. That changed in 1996. I set my alcohol consumption at one and a half or two litres a day and didn’t get drunk anymore. I had become used to it. I was really drunk for the last time in 1996.
Healing of alcoholism
Mr W. H. (37), Schleswig (Germany)
For ten years I had drinking problems. I only drank the "hard stuff" (whisky, brandy, etc.) and always more than necessary. I didn't drink every day but the quantity gradually increased. When my wife was on night duty, I consumed up to half a bottle of spirits. Because of this I took less and less notice of my wife and children.
In February 1990 I heard about the teachings of Bruno Gröning from my father. Through these teachings and by tuning in to the divine power I was able to stop drinking within fourteen days. It was not hard for me and, furthermore, I no longer have the desire for alcohol. I feel really relieved; it is as if a load has been taken off me and once again I get on well with my family.

J. P. (67), Zgierz (Poland), about her son
For several years my son had drunk two bottles of beer daily and in addition a lot of schnapps. I don’t know the exact daily amount, but I saw that he always had little schnapps bottles with him. Talking to him didn’t help. It would help for one or two days, then he would start drinking again. I didn’t know what I should do in this regard. I also looked into "Alcoholics Anonymous". He was supposed to go there for help, but he didn’t go. His marriage only hung on by a thread. The situation was critical, and his wife was talking about divorce.

S. V. (56), Sittard (Netherlands), about her neighbor
We got new neighbors in March 2000. The woman lay in bed all the time and only got up to drink alcohol. You never saw her outside the flat the whole summer long. When her balcony door was open, the smell of beer was hardly bearable. They bought alcohol continually - a case of beer every day. When her son came to visit, he also brought beer along. Everyone else, too, who visited her drank alcohol. Her husband worked all day long.
Healing of alcohol dependency
I. B. (63), Verviers (Belgium)
At the age of 30 in 1970 I got a job in a cafe and drank alcohol there every day (about ten glasses or more a day of beer, whiskey, martinis, etc.). At 40 I changed jobs and worked in a large factory. After work I would often go to a café to drink a few glasses (beer and other alcoholic beverages). After going home I would continue drinking. My alcohol consumption increased over the years. When my son married and moved out I was 46 years old and my alcohol consumption again increased.
