So, I have struggled with alcoholism since I was around the age of 16, I finally decided enough is enough... And I have admited myself to a very unique rehabilitation facility. Shick Shadel, The only rehab I am aware of that practices Aversion Therapy. As soon as I got here It was VERY APPARENT how powerful this place is. I watched people go from seizures from not drinking, to puking at the very sight or smell of alcohol.
This is not your typical rehab environment as you can see. I will be drinking poisioned alchohol under medical supervision, as well as being electricuted while drinking.
Cards against humanity is what gets us by around here. That and the laughs from silly folks still drunk and high on valium.
Wish me the best of luck, this treatment cost 20,000$! So Hopefully it was worth the money.
Shick Happens! Let's crush this disease!

I am no stanger to behavioral therapy/aversion therapy myself. Actually, I have several thousand hours of it behind me. It is a powerful method that will change your brain, and your life. It's not easy.
However, once you go through this process, you need to understand that there can be, or may be, some unintended consequences that result from this kind of behavioral reprogramming. Personally, I am finding that 20 years later it does cause some issues in my marriage relationship - because my wife does not seem to understand that some of the things she is doing are causing me to react, involuntarily, in ways that she does not understand or like.
All I'm saying is, there are benefits to what you are doing - and they are worth it. But, you will be changed - and that will have years of results for you, which are not all known from the start. Some results will be good, some not so good. Overall, it is worth it - for your own survival and recovery. However, others may have a harder time understanding your behavior in the future.

This guy has helped a lot of people including me.
I'm telling you he is the real staff!
He uses a different method but the idea is the same. Hate for alcohol and everything related to it. Love for life with all the hardships that comes with,
take responsibility and work hard.
He has a 365 days challenge where every day he records a consultation video while hiking.
He was an alcoholic himself so he knows first hand what to say.
Anyway, i wish you best of luck You can do it! I did it!
Onwards and Upwards buddy,
Good Luck!!

It may keep you away from one poison, but not from every poison.
Find the reason why you are drinking to the point of hurting yourself and deal with that,

It's not only aversion therapy that I am receiving, I will also be doing CBT, as well as sodium pentothol(truth serum) interviews as well making some radical life changes to avoid putting my self in situations where I would want to drink.

Good luck with the quiting alcohol.
I too recently quit after years and years of struggling with the alcohol addiction.
I did not have the means for any Shick Shadel treatment, but found the Allen Carr "easy way to quit alcohol" very effective. Along with changes in diet, regular fasting, meditation and excersise to be most effective.
The Allen Carr book is quite brilliant as it demystifies all our conditioning, programing and cultural brainwashing about alcohol. And the book only costs $9.00 for the Kindle.
Watch some of Jeff Berwick's walking the dogs youtube videos for some additional inspiration. I think one of them is titled "why I quit alcohol".
Best wishes, A

Thanks. My alcohol (ab)use was not drinking daily at home but more getting completely trashed at the weekend.
I now force myself to avoid these bars, I go out only once a week and not on a Friday or Saturday night. It's hard as I'm a foreigner where I live and I have a nice social life that revolved around these occasions but I have to look after my health first. I was also very ashamed of my behavior.
I guess I was lucky to shock myself into action and that I binge drink rather than daily drink.

So I start got on steemit and this post baffles me on so many levels.
One, we don't treat addiction correctly in America at all. By that I mean, we don't treat addiction. The justice system is weighted to lock people up after they screw up, with rehab programs for people addicted to many substances costing several thousand dollars. It should be a national health issue and there should be public programs to help, like in most other countries.
Second, what the actual fuck. Shock therapy? This feels like some Clockwork Orange craziness. I'm sorry. Obviously this problem is hurting your life and must cost you more than $20k/year (either in actual money or emotionally) for you to undertake this, but if this is true, it feels fucked up and bizarre. Surely there must be more effective treatment options out there. Everything about this feels crazy and off and insane. Where are all the comments questioning this? Or even asking more questions? Everyone is supporting you dumping a ton of money on a very intense treatment that may or may not work/be a scam.
