Testimonial - My cravings for alcohol and drugs are
gone
Mr
Fox,
I am writing this testimonial because I think it is
important for you to know of the positive and life changing
results of your counseling techniques.
My name is K.B. and I started using street drugs and
alcohol on a daily basis in my early teens. In addition to
being a product of the "turn on and drop out" generation of
the 1960s I come from a long line of alcoholics and drug
users. Feelings were not permitted in the home as I was
growing up. Even before I chose to start using on my own,
my father gave me his tranquilizers at age 10 as th
solution to my adjustment problems associated with a
relocation. So the stage was set: feelings, emotions and
difficult times are dealt with by medicating.
I am now 52 years old and I have struggled with addiction
my entire life. I am on my 5th marriage, have two children
I don't see and have left a wake of destruction,
disappointment and worry in my path. I have been in and out
of several rehabilitation programs as well as A.A. only to
relapse time and again. I would stay clean for a short
while, but as soon as something uncomfortable was
presented, my response was to run and hide behind the vale
of drugs and alcohol. The cravings were constant and
overwhelming. I planned my days and activities around
using. Even though I stopped using drugs several years ago,
mostly out of fear of being caught, alcohol abuse continued
to be an issue.
As I mentioned, I had been in and out of 12 step based
programs throughout my life and failed every time. The
sense of failure and self-loathing only compounded cravings
and obsessions. I began to research other options as I
could not buy in to the fact that there was something
inherently wrong with me and that the condition was
hopeless and chronic as the 12 steppers preached. I did not
want to believe that the best I could hope for was a "white
knuckle" sobriety for the rest of my life. I felt that I
was self medicating for an underlying issue or I simply
never developed the skills to successfully process feelings
and emotions. This is when I sought you out.
I have been working on these issues with you now for a few
months. Within the first couple of visits I had a clear
understanding of how addicted mind works and how to start
to reverse that process. The techniques of self love,
admiration for others and finger tapping you taught me are
God sent. Almost immediately the cravings stopped. I now
invoke these techniques as second nature and I am enjoying
a sense of peace and calm for the first time in my life.
The emotional and feelings based "triggers" are gone,
totally nonexistent. There is a renewed sense of purpose in
my life and clarity of mind that allows me to enjoy life
and all it has to offer. I wake up embracing the new day
instead of dreading the prospect. The relationship with my
wife and other family members has improved and I am able to
proactively address the negative effects of my past.
I would like to close on a persona note by saying thank you
Matthew with all sincerity. Please feel free to use this
correspondence as you see fit.
Best Regards,
K.B.
