How will you feel after the hypnotherapy for drinking less alcohol?

You will notice your cravings have diminished and you think less about alcohol. These new habits and patterns in your mind will allow you to say "no" to a drink whereas before you would have found yourself pouring a glass. You will begin to see results after the first session such as sleeping better, feeling happier with a weight lifted, finding yourself less interested in drinking, more refreshed in the morning and feeling more motivated at work and using your evenings and weekends more productively. Emotional issues such as low self-esteem will subside, so you can feel thoroughly relaxed and comfortable without a drink at home and can feel at ease around drinkers without feeling you need to join the drinking. Most people think they feel fully confident but when you think back to the number of times you have had an extra drink from the persuasion of others you'll begin to realise that like everyone else you do need a confidence boost.
A Marie Claire magazine journalist writing about Ailsa's alcohol hypnotherapy phone appointments

"Since the hypnotherapy to stop drinking alcohol my once-toxic relationship with alcohol has gone through an unequivocal break-up. I start to notice other small shifts. For instance, I start buying sparkling water and filling my usual wine glass with it of an evening to relax. It feels just the same as drinking wine, minus the fuzzy head and rambling conversations over dinner. I also start running more regularly and practising yoga twice a week – a goal I’d worked towards for at least a year but never quite managed. I start eating healthier lunches and dinners and getting up earlier, feeling refreshed and energised rather than shattered and slightly depressed. The change is noticeable and quite remarkable."

There are two routes you can take to reduce your drinking;

Option one: You can have one-to-one hypnotherapy phone appointments which are tailored to break your specific drinking habits contact us. This will give you an opportunity to deal with other life issues that you may be facing. During the appointments, Ailsa will work through an alcohol addiction reduction plan moving clients on as quickly as safely possible, teaching clients how to manage life with less or no alcohol. The hypnotherapy is highly effective over the phone, usually 2-4 sessions required spaced 2 weeks apart. It is recommended you get the Feel Amazing app on your phone prior to the sessions as Ailsa will recommend recordings to listen to in between appointments. 

Option two: Alternatively you can listen to hypnotherapy recordings Take control of alcohol, Stop binge drinking for women and Stop binge drinking for men to provide you with the support to reduce alcohol addiction and habit in the privacy of your own home. Each alcohol hypnosis download is priced at £14.99 for one year of access in the Feel Amazing app, just the cost of a couple of drinks or you can buy a membership to access all 45 titles in the app. You can listen at bedtime or after work.

How long does it take to change your drinking habit?

Hypnotherapy works quickly moving clients forward to their goals but each person makes progress at a different pace. People begin to see changes after the first session and continue to make progress with the support of recordings and with each follow-up appointment. One hardened drinker can make the changes in two phone sessions because they are ready for it whilst another may take six sessions or a more moderate drinker may need four appointments. Everyone responds differently, but you will only reduce down at a safe pace for you with Ailsa's system. The success of sessions comes from the commitment of the client sticking to appointments and listening to follow up relaxation hypnosis recordings in between appointments recommended by Ailsa and available in the Feel Amazing app. Eventually drinking less will become second nature. Some hypnotherapists will say you need to give up alcohol altogether or try to sign you up for a course at the beginning. But Ailsa works with a minimum of 2 appointments and further ones based on the individual needs of each client. and you can choose whether to reduce down alcohol or stop drinking altogether. 

"I still wanted to be able to enjoy a drink on occasions and the hypnotherapy has put me in control." James from Utah

"I can't thank you enough, you came into my life at the right time. I don't know how I would have got in control of my drinking without you. You have taught me so much and made me view alcohol differently." Ingrid from Hamburg

Hypnotherapy is a fully conscious deep relaxation where the mind is more able to take on positive suggestions thus making it easy to change alcohol habits and patterns. You have programmed yourself to drink alcohol in the same way that someone programmes themselves to drive a car. If you try to forget how to drink at your current level, you can't in the same way you can't forget how to drive. The drinking habit is merely an alcohol programme in your mind. Safe hypnotherapy relaxation will help change that alcohol programme in your mind similar to putting new software into a computer. This will allow you to create new drinking habits. You will only make the changes you want, so you are very much in control of the changes you will make. You can choose to stop drinking altogether or to still enjoy the odd glass of wine or bottle of beer.

What is the difference between hypnosis, hypnotherapy and meditation?

People are often confused as to what the difference is between hypnosis and hypnotherapy. Hypnosis is an altered state of awareness, but once combined with therapy it becomes hypnotherapy. The hypnosis technique is used to access the deeper part of the mind for the therapy to take place on an unconscious level. Hypnotherapy is similar to deep relaxation, which feels as if you have just woken but can't be bothered to get up. During the hypnotherapy visualisation techniques old connections to drinking, which could be 'triggers', can be released; a certain time of day you drink, or, a place or people that you associate with alcohol. By reframing old memories, you can easily break free from attachments connected to alcohol. Meditation is a state of relaxation whilst hypnotherapy directly shifts habits and patterns.

"Relief not wanting to drink it feels a huge mountain has shifted. I feel like a different person" Jennifer from San Diego, California

"Sleeping amazingly - the quality of sleep much better and deep. Before I would wake sluggish and it would often ruin the weekend. I thought I didn't really need hypnosis but now I wonder how I ever got this far in life without it. The hypnosis downloads work well and I like the fact the tracks are short and easy to fit into my day" Penny from Dallas Texas

"You have been a major contributor to me giving up alcohol. I still had to put the effort in but I have done it, at times it wasn't easy! The hypnosis recording really helped" Anne from Guildford, Surrey

"Since the hypnotherapy sessions, I have reduced alcohol to a sensible amount, stopped smoking and remarkably I have stopped gambling. I have saved so much money I feel so rich!" Tom from London

"I don't know what was in the hypnosis Mp3 as I was asleep before the end every time, but I feel the difference as I am sleeping like a log." Debra from Los Angeles, California

Alcohol consumption often builds up over time becoming a habit hard to break with willpower alone and can cause anxiety, self-hatred, shameful feelings, depression, fear of being out of control and blackout trauma. Drinking alcohol can increase following a bereavement, a prolonged illness or a financial crisis. Typically people drink out of habit and for a quick way to switch off. There are a number of reasons for increased drinking including relentless work demands, the stress of being a parent juggling everything, relationship issues and the pressure of running your own business. In contrast, it can be a boredom habit or something to fill time when lonely or simply love the taste and feeling of drinking. There can also be social drinking pressure from fellow workers, family or friends. More recently homeworking, lockdown restrictions, coronavirus worries, loss of a job, fear of redundancy and homeschooling have been fuelling an increase in drinking.

Drinking goals Most clients do not want to stop drinking altogether but would instead like to reduce down alcohol to a safe limit, as they may be concerned about health issues, are tired of feeling sluggish or alcohol is impacting on work performance and career. Other people find their relationships are being affected by the effects of excess alcohol. Hypnotherapy is a treatment that offers a solution to get you back in control of alcohol. Some clients reduce initially but then decide to give up drinking altogether a few months later as they get used to the reduction in alcohol and feel ready to let it go altogether. Most clients choose to reduce down to an occasional social drink or only have an alcoholic drink at the weekend which is why Ailsa's hypnotherapy system is so popular as this is all possible in the way that she works.

Break the habit of drinking If you have ever made a decision not to drink, but then find yourself drinking, then it is useful to know that it is an unconscious action that is making you take the drink. An example would be you may find yourself going to the fridge to take a drink after work when consciously you know you shouldn't, but you do it anyway. It is similar to moving an item in your house, but later you find yourself continually going back to the old place, you know you moved the item, but the unconscious mind is pre-programmed with the old place in the same way your mind is on autopilot to have a drink. Hypnotherapy is a practical tool to release and rewrite the past so you can move on quickly with new sober habits. Hypnotherapy has been well known for breaking smoking habits but it is also highly effective for breaking drinking habits too as seen in recent research.

"Not only has my control of alcohol improved significantly but I am now less stressed due to the relaxation exercises you taught me and I am living a far healthier and happier lifestyle." Natasha from Cheshire

"Since giving up drinking, I have embarked on training for a charity run and feel good about my health and myself. Many thanks." Dave from Wolverhampton

"Feel happier, more in control and thrilled. I was amazed to stop at one glass of wine the evening after the session." Margaret from Guildford

"Wow, what a great session. I met friends at the pub that night as it had previously been arranged. But I felt different, I had two drinks followed by a couple of soft drinks. I feel drinking more than a couple is just not for me anymore." Graham from Bromley

"It was such a relief when I found your website to know there are answers to my drinking problem. Since the appointment, I've not touched alcohol in the week and at a social event I drank little." Caroline from Hertfordshire

    

How can hypnotherapy help?

Firstly, hypnotherapy allows you to break bad habits and release cravings related to drinking too much alcohol, and release worries or uncomfortable past experiences which may be triggering anxiety or depression or the need for an alcoholic drink from loneliness or boredom. 

Secondly, hypnotherapy builds and enforces positive habits like feeling relaxed, sleeping well, learning to live without alcohol, creating weekly routines that don't involve drinking, to boost your motivation and confidence. Hypnotherapy trains the subconscious to take on board the new behaviours so you can stay sober. Hypnotherapy is a tool used by top athletes, singers and public speakers for improved skills and is also well known for study focus and exam success. Hypnotherapy fast tracks the changes that could otherwise take a long time. People often cave in when on a diet or when giving up cigarettes or alcohol because it takes too long to make the changes. During the hypnotherapy, to help the process of change you can make the flavour of alcohol less palatable by changing the association in the subconscious; this means the drink no longer has the same appeal. Hypnotherapy can re-root addictive thinking and dissolve cravings too.

The public service watchdog, the Audit Commission, has warned that the economic downturn could lead to certain health problems including misuse of alcohol. If you answered yes to any one of the above questions then chances are it may be time to consider why you are drinking in the first place and to start to examine the emotional issues connected with the over drinking. Hypnotherapy can break the habit of drinking from the subconscious mind whilst dealing with the reasons behind the drinking.

 

Facts about alcohol:

  • • Anyone who drinks regularly can become dependent on alcohol.
  • • By the time a liver test detects damage, the harm may have been inflicted.

Alcohol Units can be confusing, so the easiest way to understand safe drinking levels is to never go beyond a couple of drinks at any one time and to limit your drinking to a maximum of 3 days per week. An occasional social drink is the safest way to drink. The body needs time off from alcohol to detox.

"Every day I was being offered alcohol by mums at the pickups from playdates, after a school football match, work events, friends and families houses.

I just drink a small amount, have more fun and have the confidence to be myself without alcohol too. I think many people are alcoholics or verging on alcoholism but don't even know it. Is it normal to drink a bottle of wine per day, but now I don't think so. Thank you. Penny from Liverpool

"I found an addiction centre which wanted £5000 to help me reduce alcohol addiction. I felt it was too extreme and I didn't have the money.

I did my homework of listening to the alcohol hypnosis download and the follow-up techniques which helped me with all areas of my life." Susan from London

“I use to drink ¾ of a bottle of whiskey per night plus beers on top. I haven’t touched a drop of whiskey since the hypnotherapy alcohol sessions.

I feel less guilty about silly little things which in the past could have felt monumental, but now I can take them in my stride. The follow-up tools you taught me are valuable at times of stress. I enjoy the hypnosis sleep recordings to get me off to sleep instead of drinking." Mrs K Egham, Surrey

"I didn't want to quit alcohol altogether, but I felt I was getting a bit of an addiction and binge drinking at weekends was becoming more common. I didn't know how to stop drinking. Most Mondays I was going into work looking wrecked but the first Monday after the hypnosis I woke on that Monday morning looking ten years younger as I had been so in control of my weekend drinking. My skin wasn't sweating and my face wasn't red anymore and that was just after a few days. I was really impressed with the results. Hypnotherapy is great prevention for alcohol-related illness." Jason from Dundee, Scotland

“I was binge drinking so severely that I couldn’t remember what I had done the night before and often found myself in odd places I didn’t remember getting to. Since the alcohol hypnotherapy sessions, I can meet friends and have one or two drinks and then go home sober. My relationship with my girlfriend has improved and we spend the weekends doing enjoyable things rather than me being ill and hungover. Many thanks” Andrew from Brighton

“I was drinking 8 cans of lager per day since the session I have reduced down to 8 cans per week. It’s incredible! I am glad I tried it. I have learnt not to ask friends what they think as they told me not to go for the hypnotherapy and it has been one of the best decisions I ever made."Lisa from Carlisle

"I craved red wine, now I don't really even think about it. Thank you" Maria from Islington

"I was reading on the BBC about going alcohol-free with stealth drinking but I found the cravings for alcohol were still strong if I abstained. It is one thing to change to alcohol-free beer or alcohol-free wine but I needed more as the cravings were still there. This is when the hypnosis for alcohol reduction helped as it changed the way I thought about alcohol. I came across Ailsa Frank's website where I purchased the hypnosis downloads Take control of alcohol and Stop binge drinking. The two titles have helped me get my life back." Michael from Leicester

"I wasn't convinced to begin with that the hypnotherapy for alcohol would help as I was scared it wouldn't but it has. My marriage has improved as a result. The relaxing hypnosis download really helps too. The wine sits in the fridge and I have no interest to pour it" Patricia from Ascot, Surrey

"An alcohol reduction centre wanted £3500 to stop me drinking but I didn't feel my problem was as big as that and I didn't have that sort of money. The alcohol hypnotherapy has changed my life putting me back in control and letting go of past life stresses." Jenny from London

"Having used alcohol to get to sleep for much of my adult life it is refreshing that I sleep much better without alcohol, not waking in the night at 3 am like before. I am enjoying a much deeper sleep since listening to the alcohol hypnosis downloads. I thought I would need a personalised session but the recordings have done the trick." Valerie from Houston, Texas 

"Quitting alcohol was so difficult before I found the hypnosis. Now my family have noticed how much nicer I am. My husband said I am such a nice person now I drink less since the alcohol hypnosis therapy." Donna from Philadelphia

 Hypnotherapy can have a positive effect on reducing drinking. In one particular study, 31 participants, who were being treated for alcohol use disorder, were split into two groups and one was given Hypnotherapy and the other Motivational Interview Therapy. The Hypnotherapy sessions got participants to envisage themselves resisting drinking alcohol in a variety of ways including remaining calm and avoiding situations that trigger the urge to drink. Results from the study showed that a higher number of participants in the Hypnotherapy reported complete abstinence and also experienced less emotional stress.
