Just want to say a huge thank you for giving me my life back. Amazing treatment, I don't think I could have done this by myself - particularly as I am going through a divorce - a very difficult time and emotional time. Again, thank you so much.
Alison
It has been 3 weeks since I had the treatment and not touched a drop of alcohol. I was regularly drinking between 1 to 2 bottles of wine a night and more at the weekends. I have attended several social functions since having the treatment and not felt tempted to drink alcohol. I have more energy, sleep better than I have done in years and feel fantastic!!
Laura
This is a fantastic treatment - it works. It permanently changes your relationship with alcohol (for me) so you can't drink more than a moderate amount and can easily skip it for a couple of days. It is criminal that it is not available on the NHS.

Thank you so much. My family are amazed regarding my recover with my alcohol and smoking issues. I have nothing but good to say about your treatment and your kindness when I have called for advice or information. I am indebted to you.
Lin Wells
I have stayed completely alcohol free for the four weeks. There have been odd moments when it has been difficult but whereas before I could not resist temptation now I can. Amazing! I was not a very heavy drinker by some standards, but with alcoholism in the family, I was a very worried drinker and heading firmly in the wrong direction. I feel the treatment has helped me to turn left rather than turn right. I am recommending it to friends in the same situation. Please feel free to use this testimonial.
Lindsay
Since leaving your treatment centre I can honestly say I have not had a drink and not even had the urge to have one. Considering I was drinking 1 - 2 bottles of wine a night, I can't quite believe how far I have come. I am feeling so much better, healthier and the weight loss has been amazing. Thank you for all your help.

We have both done quite well over the past month. We both had a few drinks at our work do's and social occasions over the holidays but have been in control and had a lot less than what we would have previously. We are both looking forward to an alcohol free month and further beyond. Thank you for everything, kind regards.
Mr & Mrs Bowen
I hope you've had a nice Easter break. I just wanted to give you an update on my progress following my treatment session on Tuesday, I haven't had any cravings for alcohol & it's a week today since my last drink. I went to Haydock races yesterday with friends, I actually enjoyed not drinking & I chose to drive everyone around from bar to bar without temptation once. We had a successful day at the races too winning a total of £432.00 between Mark and myself and I have lost a couple of pounds in weight so win/win. Kind regards.

I was sceptical this would work but given I was drinking a bottle a wine a day and my health was suffering I decided this form of treatment stood more chance with me than a 'seminar'. I also had the treatment four weeks before Christmas so if it worked no better time to prove it to myself then Christmas!! I no longer automatically drink as before but stop and ask myself if I really want one! To which the answer is 'no'! I now no longer drink in the week but do have one or two at a week end........glasses that is and no longer bottles!! I have also lost at least a stone in weight because what the treatment has done has also made me look at what I eat ......spent years at weight watchers trying to achieve that thought process!! I am very proud of myself and feel so much better and positive!

I can only confirm what I have read already read about the treatment 'WoW'. I am over the moon with the results, since visiting you I have not had a drink nor wanted too. I have what I consider a stressful job and my daily routine would often consist or should I say 'generally' consist of literally downing 1 or 2 bottles of strong wine. To a point I couldn't remember what I was feeling stressed about, then fell asleep for a matter of hours. I would regularly wake up after a few hours unable to sleep longer. Since my visit I have the same job, my health is better, my life is better and I actually really look forward to the future without thinking about having a bottle of wine. I honestly never thought I would be this person again. Thank you so much. P.S. I would be more than happy to recommend this treatment to anybody
L Foster
'I have not had a drink since the day I visited your centre and feel so much better and am so pleased with the results. I am going on holiday so this is the test for me and might treat myself to the odd drink or two. The real test is to control my drinking which I am confident of doing in the long term future. Yours a truly happy customer.
Kevin
As I write this I am delighted to say that it is now 14 weeks since I touched a drop of alcohol. I was desperate to do something as my drinking had spiralled out of control. I had drunk for as long as I care to remember - 30 years!! I did not drink during the day but come the evening I would easily down between one and two bottles of wine in a night. I had blackouts, the shakes and would become aggressive towards the people that stilled cared about me. In the past I admit I had a massive problem and had pushed to many people away as I chose drink over everything else. I found the website by chance and must have read the testimonials over and over at least a dozen times. I was indeed very sceptical about the treatment and the cost of having it but I am so glad I did. The first few days were hard as it was the habit of getting in from work and reaching for that first glass, weekends too at first were also tough. I have since been to a barbeque and out for diner (in a pub) and did not think about having alcohol. My aim is not to give up for good but to change my old habits. My children are so proud of me. I also look and feel so much better. Thank you so much for giving me my life back

It’s been a year since I first came to the addiction treatment for drinking problem. I used to drink nearly every night bottle of wine or more than 5 gin & tonics. I have cut down dramatically, I’ve stopped drinking at home and only drink when I go out. I will have no more than 2 drinks then I will switch to water. I also had a chocolate and sugar addiction which I also had treatment for. I am now totally in control and have chocolate very rarely. I lost weight and feel great. I am so happy that I find this treatment and I highly recommend to anyone with a problem.

'I would like to thank you so much for the two-day treatment I had a month ago, it has completely changed the way I was conducting my life, or rather allowing my life to be conducted. I knew that I had been in an ever-worsening rut for many years and had tried an array of half-hearted attempts to better myself, some very expensive, but none of them were successful. After your two day treatment, I did not touch a drop of alcohol for 28 days, and didn't really enjoy the two glasses of wine I allowed myself with a friend on Wednesday. I didn't feel scared to drink as I felt in control, and I didn't feel the need to have more, which is a far cry from a month ago. It hasn't always been entirely easy as alcohol played a huge part in my life and every evening for over 10 years, but so much of the desire seems to have been just habitual behaviour and what I term as habit-by-association. I will write more on this and the changes that I have experienced and I will write again after hopefully another successful month. Best regards

You'll be curious to know how I have fared since I came to visit you in December and significantly before the Christmas and New Year. I definitely had developed a problem with alcohol and a reason to worry. I have not had to regret my decision to stop drinking, it worked! I even survived the Christmas and New Year celebrations, if that doesn't speak volumes, I don't know what does. I am feeling the benefits of not drinking now, more optimistic and more energetic. The first two weeks were a little of a roller coaster emotionally but then my mood picked up in a way I could not have expected and I intend to stay this way. This treatment was my present to myself and I thank you for doing this for me. I will not have a drink until my fathers celebrates his 60th in April. Will be in touch again.

''Hi it’s been 3½ weeks since I attended your centre for a 2 day treatment for alcohol. I have been a drinker for as long as I can remember which is a long time as I am 44 years old. I would always try to have days off drink but come to tea time I would pour a glass of wine or opens a can of lager or on the occasions I would be really strong and not drink for 1 to 2 days I would feel so good but alcohol was always on my mind. But from the first treatment I had no urge or desire to drink it really is amazing how this works. I feel, look and sleep and eat better. I haven’t lost weight but that’s probably because I actually eat my dinner now! Whereas before I would cook and by the time I would of drank nearly a bottle of wine I had no appetite so wouldn’t eat and then feel even worse in the morning hangover and hungry. Many thanks'.
Mrs Waldock
'Came into the centre in November 2013. I did not know what to expect having tried numerous times to stop drinking. Two months later I have not touched a drink. I was drinking 3 bottles of wine a day before having 4 treatment sessions, this went down to nothing at all. The other plus is a loss of 2 stone of weight'.

'I received the treatment one month ago and have been amazed by its (my!) success. I genuinely feel like I have been re-wired correctly and experience neither the need or want for alcohol. The programs no nonsense approach combine with physics (informational medicine) spoke to me in a way that AA couldn't. Instead of the woe in me and how many things I have done, I feel like a victor not a victim. Their common sense and easy to follow post treatment instructions and ideas have been invaluable, it has changed my life! I feel like a new me (except that it is the old me before alcohol took control). Thank you so much for this wonderful treatment!'. Elizabeth C

‘I have had 5 weeks off drinking and it has been 4 weeks since your therapy. It appears to work! I really didn't find myself thinking about drinking to crave it. I did decide to go out for a big night with the lads yesterday and reintroduce alcohol, but I did not get blotto as normal and significantly don't feel that urge to drink the next day too. I simply cannot explain this! Thank you very much'.

'I am now entering my third month of post treatment. I have twice had a single glass of wine during the past two weeks. I found that it was enough and did not want to continue past the single glass of wine. I am vigilant of course as I do not wish to fall back into old habits'.
Madelyn
'Was unsure at the start, I can only describe the treatment as being magical, I've not drank for nearly 2 months and I've not even felt the urge to. My whole lifestyle has changed for the better, increased energy levels with a very positive outlook in life and for the future. Money well spent, I will recuperate it back in 3 to 4 months with a much healthier mind and body. I really can't recommend it enough, gone from 2 to 3 bottles of wine per day to zero. I now feel in the future I will be able to enjoy a glass of wine in moderation'.

'Just a little note on how it's going, GREAT! Not had a drink since the 30th January, don't know how it works but it is brilliant. I feel back in charge and its great waking up fresh every morning. I can't thank you enough for getting me back on track. I do not even think about wine o'clock, it's a thing of the past. Many, many thank you's'.

'I have to say I was very sceptical about the treatment, how it worked, given that I was just sat for two sessions reading the paper with wrist bands on. However, I have to confirm that the craving for wine at the end of the day has gone, the habit was still a strange one and I had to ask myself if I really wanted a drink as opposed to just having one but no I did not. I did have a few drinking 3½ weeks after my initial treatment as I was on a weekend hen do and I had concerns that this would send me back to the habit of drinking the way that I was before but no, since I returned I have not had anything to drink and I am not wanting to'.
Michelle P.
'Had my treatment on the 17th January, next morning woke up as a new person, so happy with different attitude to the world around me! Could not believe I'm free from addiction, day after day don't even think about drinking, was so busy with other stuff I've been putting aside for a long time. What I want to say is a big THANK YOU as you made me feel my real self and helped me back to my sober nature. Thank you again'.

'It has been four weeks now since I had my detox treatment with you and have done really well not to have a drink, it was hard at first but has got easier.

'Without this treatment I would still be a heavy drinker and maybe not alive as I had a fatty liver through drinking and bad diet. I would drink until I had memory loss and drink 10 to 12 pints a night, night on night off, within a 3 to 4 hour session. Since I found this treatment 14 months ago, it has totally turned my life around the urge to drink is seldom there. I can go in the pub now and not drink I don't wake up with any cravings, I get the urge to socialise but not drink. I shouldn't have had to find this place, it should be widely available to every man in the street, everyone should know about it. I believe the Government should promote this treatment. Thank you'.

'I underwent two treatment sessions a couple of years ago at this centre. The purpose of the visit was to give up drinking excessive amounts. To be honest at the start I had my doubts but then I said to myself I'll give it a go. Since then, I have significantly cut down my alcohol consumption from my four or five pints four nights a week to just one night a week, so I can say it definitely had some effect on me and would recommend this treatment to others with similar problems'

''I travelled from the Netherlands to have this treatment [3 days], on the alcohol front I can honestly say that the treatment appears to have worked and my general feeling towards alcohol consumption has changed dramatically. I have had a couple of glasses of wine whilst out along with other non-alcoholic drinks and feel pretty much in control of the situation at all times now. None of the usual let's have another impulse and the predictable journey into obliteration and mayhem. Your treatment has basically turned it around for me and I would just like to express my deepest gratitude for that on what has basically been a life changing experience. Thanks again and I will keep you posted'

I'm very proud of myself! Thank you so much'.
Tracey
'It is 5 weeks since my last drink and I feel great. Sleeping much better, energy levels much better and not really felt any urge to have a drink. The only time I miss a drink really is when out for a meal and I see people having wine with their meal and think that would be nice. But still going with how I feel and not having a drink for the sake of it! Thanks very much for all your help and speak to you soon. Kind regards.’

At most it was a bottle of wine between two people every other night, so a big improvement from past consumptions. Back home now and intend getting refocused. The aim is to drink only socially as and when which I think should be easy to manage as the urge for a glass of wine does as you told me pass quite quickly'.

Each of them has come away from your centre absolutely delighted with the results and are now no longer drinkers. I have been so impressed with the results that I have asked a close relative to contact you and I believe he is with you this week. I wonder if you would send me any leaflets you may have in order for me to pass them on to the people who come to me rather than my asking them to look you up on the internet?'.
