"A ten year binge drinking habit gone in a day."
'I would say that from about ten years ago, I went from having a social drink to binge-drinking where I would regularly binge drink three-to-four-times-a-week, where I would pass out', black out', every single time. I would be absolutely devastated the next morning because I couldn't remember what I had done. I had shown myself up, I lost my dignity, and I would be absolutely dying inside and would never want to drink again. But then, like I said, three-to-four-times-a-week became my habit - the cycle was just set a spiral downhill, because the more I did it, the less control I had of it. There were some really worse circumstances where I found I nearly got attacked I would not even know that I got attacked because there were moments when I would wake up and think how did I get here? It was absolutely devastating, because without drink I am very dignified and very in control of every other aspect of my life but the drink really did take a hold. I just put it by; that was society because everybody goes out and everybody gets wasted and I was in good company.'
Shokat: 'Tell me what happened, how did you overcome your problem?'
Mandy: 'Well, I just came to the point were I knew that this was life-threatening. I knew that one particular time I would either vomit in my sleep and that would be it, or I would be attacked because I left myself open, completely open within that state. So, you know, it's started to affect my life as I would not want to go out because I knew that if I (got) drunk, I would be just a loose cannon, I would be susceptible to anything. So you know, I tried to just stop drinking and I found it extremely difficult. If I went to a social occasion, I really didn't want to be there because I didn't feel part of it because I wouldn't be drinking. It didn't work it just never worked, with all the willpower in the world it never happened I would still drink. A few days would go by and some scenario would come up and I would excuse myself, pretending I could control it this time, or that I needed it because I had some stressful occasion, or I needed it because of a celebration I would find some sort of an excuse. (I) just did not have the willpower and it just continued and continued until I just happened to be looking on the internet and just trying to find something that would help me. And that's when I come across Shokat Ali's website and I saw Liz and how it had affected Liz. I could relate to Liz in that she drunk a couple of bottles of wine and didn't think much of it but she knew it was taking a toll on her health and on her life. So I phoned up.'
Shokat: 'So what happened?'
Mandy continues: 'I had an appointment very quick, so once I set the decision; it was not long before I came up and then we had a two-hour session where I had the hypnotherapy and the bioresonance treatment. And I went away, and, I just can't believe it this is my second session and I have not touched a drop and it's just not like me.'
Shokat: 'How many weeks (since you last had a drink)?'
Mandy continues: 'It's been two weeks, and I have had the most stressful two weeks, I have actually moved house, it's been really stressful but not once have I even felt like having a drink. I can't believe it really. I feel a lot more optimistic now, I feel very optimistic for my future because I feel that I can now make plans. I don't feel that that's now controlling me.'
Shokat: 'Until you ended up looking at my website by chance, did you think there was help out there, did you consider something else?'
Mandy: 'I've seen people do the conventional way and go via the hospital; the doctor's and I'd seen it fail, so no. I had gone previously a few years back when I realised that this was becoming a problem and I went to a counsellor to talk but it didn't have any effect on me and I would still go back and drink. You know, it just didn't seem to have that effect so with all the passion and the willpower it just didn't work for me until here, yes.'
