At the core, alcoholism is a blood sugar addiction and a nutritional imbalance of blood sugars, chemicals and allergies to the alcohol you're attracted to drinking.
If you’re low in zinc you’ll crave alcohol, and if you get hangovers, you’re allergic to what you’re drinking. Cravings and withdrawal get worse with poor nutrition and low blood sugar, eat a high protein, low carb nutritious diet.
This herbal program will help you feel better, sleep better, replenish your organs and glands, clean your colon, reverse allergies to alcohol and help balance your blood sugars so you can get beyond this quickly and easy.

Drink Celery juice sodium is found to be the biggest nutritional deficiency with alcoholism. To quench the dehydration and intense thirst, drinking celery has lots of sodium and calcium which is needed for your nerves and it sedates and relaxes you. If you can juice apple, celery, carrot, beet, ginger & parsley together it would be very nourishing, and if celery on its own is too intense for you.
Choose you’re going to do this no matter what it takes. Nothing is more powerful than your choice.
Change your social environment, don’t hang out with drinkers
What are you distracting yourself from? You. We love to distract ourselves with addictions so we don’t have to be present in our own lives and create our life. What if you didn’t have to distract yourself from anything anymore and there wasn’t anything you couldn't handle? What have you been coping with that you can just handle now? We weren’t taught coping skills. It’s time to be the parent to yourself that you never had and teach yourself tools to cope with anything. You’re amazing cuz you’ve gotten this far.
Right Recovery For You book and program by Marilyn Bradford
In the book she talks about and invites you to a totally different approach to recovery. The book is based on the life changing tools and concepts of Access Consciousness. We are all aware of energy. What is true for you makes you feel lighter and what feels heavy is a lie. We’ve all been sitting in heavy energy for most of our life, which means we’ve been telling ourselves lies this whole time. Lies that we aren’t good enough, good looking enough, smart enough, we don’t deserve better, or have enough money etc. If it’s heavy it’s a lie. What if self judgement is the biggest addiction? Whatever you make wrong you’ll want to do more of.. if you didn't make it wrong I wonder if you’d do it as much as you do? Remember everything is a choice. You can do whatever you like ..the question is “does this make my life greater?”
Find things to add to your life like hobbies, art, cooking, sports, games, what did you love to do as a kid?
