Just be grateful and use it.

Hear, hear. It does work. I don't know why or how, and I don't need to.

A little background: I was a heavy secret drinker (aka "alcoholic") for let's see, twelve years. Nobody saw me do it, as I never drank socially because I knew I couldn't control my drinking even in public. I drank alone until I passed out every single night on weekdays, and from morning to evening on weekends. My whole life revolved around my next drink. It was all I could think about.

I felt so bad and so ashamed every day, and yet I couldn't stop. I never told a single soul about this.

A few months ago I came across this EFT thing, and despite being a flinty, cynical sceptic, decided to give it a try to resolve my drinking problem. It was free and easy to learn, and what could be the harm?

Well, I tapped for a few days, felt no change, decided to give up this EFT "nonsense" and continued drinking as usual.

Then BAM! A couple weeks after my supposedly failed experiment, I simply woke up one morning and realised that I wasn't a drinker any more. The attraction was gone, completely gone. I mean, I went from being someone who literally planned her whole life around acquiring and consuming alcohol, to someone who just didn't like it anymore.

I experimented by going to the liquor shop. I saw all that booze, and all I could think was, "oh, look at the bottles" in the same way that you'd think "oh, look at the bread rolls" or "look at the celery." There was absolutely no craving or feeling of nostalgia at all, just a kind of blank space. Do you know what I mean?

I would love to know how or why it happened, but even if there is no logical explanation for it, it still doesn't alter the fact that it worked for me.

One thing I have to point out is that I had something of a delayed response, which is not something that I've read about.

Anyway, thanks for letting me share my story here, I'd never ever told anyone until now. I feel really good these days.
