- Thread-topic: [BardonPraxis] Alcohalism

    Hi Robert

    >> Is their any of the Bardon material that is directed
    towards healing addictions that you can refer me to ? <<

    I have no experience with alcoholism either directly or indirectly, so
    any pointers I suggest are second-hand info, but as I've been studying
    compulsive/addictive habit patterns in myself as part of Bardon and how
    to get to the
    root cause and overcome them, the following are been leant in my studies
    indirectly:

    1. Alcoholism is a chemical dependency not just psychological so more
    than a single line of attack is perhaps needed. A few rare individuals
    seem
    to be genetically predisposed to alcoholism, biochemistry playing a
    larger role
    with these people than most.

    2. The psychological cause is (as a fundamental trait of Bardon) the
    real
    problem for many. To add to Alex's suggestions it is perhaps necessary
    to not just
    affirm being sober, but tackle the emotional component that lead to
    excessive
    drinking in the first place. What emotional pain, etc is being denied.
    Also a good idea to affirm the positive not deny the negative. The
    subconscious
    has a real problem with affirmations phrased as negatives, ie I don't,
    I'm not,etc.

    3. Blood sugar swings can lead to a desire to drink. Levelling out the
    blood sugar
    fluctuations can help lessen the desire/need to drink.
    The Amino acid free-form supplement L-glutamine, has in some cases been
    found
    useful for this. Also, the subject may which to investigate Chromium
    Picolinate (not
    sure about the spelling) - also a supplement to treat blood sugar
    swings.

    4. CES (cranial electro stimulation) via instruments like Alpha-stim,
    have been found
    to exercise a profound influence on addictive patterns. Clinical trials
    show that
    after only 20 sessions some types of addictive habits were removed.

    5. Habits generally - although the habit of alcoholism is
    self-destructive, it is still
    serving a psychological need, otherwise it's hold wouldn't be so strong.
    Unless
    gifted with amazing will-power, seek to replace a bad habit with a good
    habit in its
    place rather than just trying to remove the bad habit (otherwise you end
    up with
    an emotional vacuum of sorts, the need is still there, the addiction
    will remain, and
    it will seek an alternative expression, perhaps even more
    self-destructive,
    if the first choice is denied rather than consciously replaced with
    something better)

    Don't know how useful this will be, but I hope it helps.

    regards

    Richard
