Healing from alcohol addiction

U. H. (33), Freising (Germany)

I drank alcohol regularly since I was 17 years old, mostly beer, generally to the point when I just couldn't drink any more. I started drinking in the morning. As I had stopped my apprenticeship and often was without a job for longer periods, my debts grew due to the alcohol consumption. Drinking made me aggressive and I had partnership problems. When I did find a job again I even drank some beer there and at home continued with up to one bottle of wine a day with some glasses of schnapps in between.

After I was introduced into the teaching of Bruno Gröning in August, 1999, I still drank daily but considerably less and sometimes "light" beer. Beginning of December, 1999, I stopped totally, not a single drop. From January to end of February 2000 I again drank up to total breakdown. Ever since then I don't drink any more. Alcohol does not tempt me any more. An alcohol-free beer or an alcoholic confection don't cause any need for alcohol. In the meantime I have finished my apprenticeship and have my own business.

Psychologist's commentary:

For 12 years Mr. H. showed a continuous drinking pattern. As he was not aware of a problem he refused therapy. Through attending the community hours and the absorption of the healing power he was able to reduce his alcohol consumption within six months and since February, 2000, is free from addiction. He even can eat alcohol containing chocolates without a relapse. With the knowledge of normal self-help and therapy programs this development is not to be explained.
