That’s from “Seven Weeks to Sobriety”, the author believes that through diet and the use of supplements, you can eliminate cravings for alcohol.
I just attended a presentation of someone selling this method locally. She’s charging $ 7000 for a six week, 4 hour, 5 day a week outpatient rehab out of her home for this treatment (although she calls it education in order to get around several laws). And then you buy your supplements through her. While there may be some merit to the book, what this woman is doing is quackery.
Diet can be important for those trying to quit, often they abused their bodies in many ways while drinking, but if a person is trying to quit, the most important factors are motivation and determination. If you have those, anything you happen to be doing at the time looks like a cure.
“There is a high rate of recovery among alcoholics and addicts, treated and untreated. According to one estimate, heroin addicts break the habit in an average of 11 years. Another estimate is that at least 50% of alcoholics eventually free themselves although only 10% are ever treated. One recent study found that 80% of all alcoholics who recover for a year or more do so on their own, some after being unsuccessfully treated. When a group of these self-treated alcoholics was interviewed, 57% said they simply decided that alcohol was bad for them. Twenty-nine percent said health problems, frightening experiences, accidents, or blackouts persuaded them to quit. Others used such phrases as “Things were building up” or “I was sick and tired of it.” Support from a husband or wife was important in sustaining the resolution.”
