I used to believe that nothing could work on me, since I am obviously defective. Something with my genes or may be I have other mental problems. I have been in rehab three times and sober only for two weeks at the time and then back to drinking again. It’s like this evil thing in my head takes over me and I have no control and I have to drink. I hated the way I felt. I called for your program and I said nothing works on me why should I try it? The person on the telephone said you must never give up and try different things until you see results. After agonizing decision making, I started your program. I tell you, your program must be part of every rehab. I was sober for two month and had only one beer one night and your program helped me bounce back and not drown myself in alcohol. It has been a long time now since I had a drink and frankly I don’t care about it anymore since your program given me a new vision. I do not want the old ways under any circumstances. Well done and thanks.

I have been binge drinking heavy since high school and my wife has been nagging and yelling at me for a long time that I need to quit. My attitude was that I am just drinking with the buddies and watching the game, why can’t she just let me be. This year she gave me an ultimatum that she will leave and take the kids if I don’t quit. I did not want to go to meetings an announce to everyone that I am an alcoholic, so I was really troubled because I did not want to lose my family. I was driving to work when I heard your radio ad. Just getting the program made my wife think twice about her decision. The program really made me understand how dysfunctional I had become in my thinking. Everyday was a new beginning. The past is now behind me. I have a better relationship thanks to being clear head and not drunk and your CD on relationship sure helped a lot.

I am a grandmother and have been drinking for more than thirty years now. It came to a point that I could not get out of bed to enjoy my grandchildren. My husband gave me your program. The first few days of detox and hot bath treatment made me feel rested and rejuvenated. Your program has many funny parts, I have not laughed like this for years. Now on Sundays after church the grandkids come to my house. They say granny has taken her protein shake again, since I am chasing them and playing with them. My arthritis still hurting but my heart is fresh and new. I am very grateful and will pray for all of you.

My name is Fred and I have been drinking for twelve years now. I am in my 50’s and married and I used to drink 4-6 large beers daily. I have tried to quit so many times but always started again. I never crave a drink until after work and then I usually drink them in short period of time. Next morning when I wakeup, I swear I am going to quit. However as the end of my shift I start again. Heard about your program and decided to call and started the program. What a program. You have changed my life, how can I thank enough. You have given me a new lease on life. I never thought, I will be free. Everyone tells me what happened to you, your eyes are so bright, and you are so cheerful. I tell them I am on a new diet.

I had a painting business with thirty or so painters working under me. I lost it all because of my drinking that went on for years. I continued self destructing and believing I am doomed. I kept hearing your ad and told myself what I’m gone loose, If I try the program it can’t get worst. The very first day of the program, you gave me hope. This wasn’t easy, since I lost hope for a long time and no one and nothing could make me believe in it again. I am now sober and healthy and I have started my painting business again. I only have 4 people working for me but I have never been happier in my life. You folks gave me the greatest gift. Bless you all.

How bad can a highball be. Real bad. Golf has been my love so the club house and drinking. I am in my 40’s and was having bad headaches. I decided to see my doctor and he told me that I have hypertension and very high blood pressure. He gave me a medication. I saw him a week later and he told me that he needs to change the prescription since it had no effect on lowering my pressure. On the follow-up visit two weeks later the doctor was puzzled since the medication again had no effect on me. He asked me many questions about my life style and habits and then he said do you drink heavily. I froze and I felt ice in my blood. He knew it without me telling him anything. He said I need to stop drinking completely otherwise I may have a heart attack or stroke. I told him I don’t know how. He gave me a new prescription to quit drinking and that made me feel very sick so I had to stop it. Then I heard your radio ad and asked to overnight the program. Within two weeks of the program my blood pressure fell and the prescription started working. I still golf but I order club soda and lime. Thank you for saving my life.

I have been going to meetings for the past six years. I have been sober on and off although my sponsor thought I have been sober for years. I did not have the heart to tell her and let her down and feel the shame. Your program has given me so much freedom. I still go to meetings, but I am sober thanks to you. I think everyone at the meeting should take your program regardless if they are sober or not, since they will get so much more out of the meetings.

Overall, the program has been great. Not as difficult as I would have thought. The CDs have been terrific. Good voices. The handbook is helpful, too. I loved the music and use for down time or meditation time. Morning and daily ritual, like clockwork. In fact, I listen to the morning ritual in my office at lunchtime, too. It helps take the edge off of the daily office stuff and sets me in a good frame of mind for the afternoon. I wish I had that one CD 3 years ago! The program has helped me ways well beyond alcoholism, so I continue to be very grateful and diligent in my use of the CDs.
Thanks for checking in.

I'm doing fine -- not a drop of alcohol for over 156 days. I have had some difficult times lately, such as my dad passing away, but have not sought to find solace in the bottle. For me, this is remarkable as I used to find an excuse to drink after any stressful situation.
Thank you again and again.
