Quit Drinking Self Hypnosis Process With Dan Jones

[@natmarie6450]

I'm now 1 month and 8 days sober because of this. So pleased. Hardly any cravings and if so they're nothing compared to what they used to be and have no real desire to drink at all. Long may it last. 😊

[@ketchsailor7327]

Thank you Dan. I'm now one month sober. I listened to this once and have a clear vision in my mind of all the screens. When I have cravings I see the second screen and make a decision not to go down the unhealthy path. Each day I see the future of the healthy person I am becoming. Thank you so much! This has made a real difference in my journey.

[@DanTheTortoise]

Thank you for sharing. I'm glad that this has been helpful.

Two weeks without a drink! Big changes on the way. Thank you so much Dan

[@WoodsboroCinemaClub]

Day 4 for me. Used to think it was socially acceptable. I did 4 days by myself and came here for extra help as I'm more of a binge drinker. Not a blackout drinker but I've had enough of it that's for sure. 😅 wish me luck. Liver rotting is a no go. Seeing what it's done to good people is a no go. So here I am. Manifesting this. This seems to get home to me. Wishing everyone luck

Thank you Dan ....yesterday i lost my wallet and my phone .....i am a problem drinker.....i found your video on youtube tonight .....hope you will change my life Sir.......love and respect from Darjeeling,India🙏

[@WoodsboroCinemaClub]

For also anyone reading this comment, when I get thoughts of "I could do with a drink 🍸 " I think to myself when I see the second tv screen. I say out loud "I do not want to put a hole in my guts and rot my liver, stress in not an excuse for this or boredom " Also I find reading reddit posts or quora for horror stories on alcohol really helps to put into place that second tv screen with the worst scenario and the words "I do not drink" Have sympathy for everyone. I also tell myself I shall not be making excuses trying to reverse a 20 year habit. A great quote I discovered from reddit- "idle hands are the devil's playthings" hope this helps someone ❤

15 days now. It actually works. I get angry and feel sick when ever anyone even ask me to have a drink. I actually hate it now. Can't thank you enough.

[@natmarie6450]

I just listenined. Its wonderful. I went deep into the zone. I will be listening daily. Thank you Dan. X

[@natmarie6450]

Well this is working an absolute treat! Its been 2 weeks without alcohol. I listen every other day and every day over the weekend (that's my craving time). 😊 And actually told someone confidently that I don't drink yesterday. Long may it continue 😊

[@leeellwood5666]

So far so good. Best one yet. Quite short and straight to the point.

[@martynbeaumont1100]

I dont drink that much but want to drink much less. After finishing the session I thought " that wont do anything"....but then for the whole week i just didnt want alcohol. Just couldn't be bothered with it. So yeah! This works!!

[@rominasreadingsaustralia]

It has only been 1 week but I cannot believe the effects of this. I have not had a moment of temptation yet (with friends) but I hope I can stand my ground and stay alcohol free. Thank you for this video, would love a weight loss one!

[@randomazed]

Thank you so much for this. After many failed attempts to stay sober, finally I've found some hope that I could conquer this. I plan to listen at least once a day for a month, maybe less after.

[@selenakam1]

How is it going?

[@karenkuchinski1034]

The pleasure of not drinking again is a relief

[@traceytwinkles6764]

Thanks

[@DanTheTortoise]

Thank you Tracey for the SuperThanks, that is very kind. I am glad this is helpful. It is also a video KZbin limits monetisation on because of the topic and yet is one of my most viewed videos on this channel, which makes the SuperThanks even more gratefully received. All the best Dan

[@Davlavi]

Very good thanks for sharing hope it helps a lot of people.

[@FindYourFree]

[@allina3126]

[@miriamking6411]

Wow Dan this is amazing… i thank you so much! Everytime I try a drink nowadays it tastes so yuck it either gives me instant bloating or wine gives me the creeps so bad it takes me two hours to drink a single glass haha. So happy i found this. Thank you! 🙏🏻

[@DanTheTortoise]

Thank you for the comment, I'm glad this has been helpful...

[@miriamking6411]

I’m still doing them I try every day to take time for it and it gets more powerful it AMAZING XX

[@hitwill]

Thank you for this, amazing!

[@Val-du7wb]

Thank you so much for this, can't tell you the difference it has made to me.

[@DanTheTortoise]

Glad it has been helpful... All the best Dan

[@Altmarkthansi]

An excellent setting this one! Do you think, it is possible to create a script/session which targets "neurotic behaviour", stopping short-temperedness, gaining tranquility in stressful situations? My work environment shall greatly benefit from less outbursts and swearing when things don't strictly go the way they were expected to. Personally, I would love to enjoy applying my mental faculties to adapt to a problem, rather than "panicking" & despair.

[@GetZaaZaaFit]

Thank you. Added to my daily playlist. Only thing I would say is maybe a different ending where it doesn’t just cut off? Other than that, I feel like this is gonna help me a lot ❤

[@maureens387]

Went to the pub today didn't drink 😊

[@bexrex8026]

Thank you

[@lavona82]

Thank you for this!!

how long?

hipnosis work for non english natives?

[@DanTheTortoise]

Hypnosis can work for non-English speaking people. There are some very specific techniques or ways techniques are done which don't work due to not translating, but there are equivalents in other languages which work fine. What I mean by this is for example, in English the word run can have dozens of different meanings, so if someone wanted help with weightloss a hypnotherapist could include in the treatment the use of the word run, but used in multiple contexts and the listener would hear that word repeatedly and then be more likely to be active. So a therapist could start saying "we'll just run through the paperwork", then a few minutes later "I've just got to run this out to the secretary", then coming back to the room and saying "always seem to be running around" and then asking the client "could you just run through the problem as you see it" and then "so running through that bit again" and then later in the session talking about someone "running a bath", "running a tap for a cup of tea", "running through what we've discussed so far", "running over the notes for the session", etc. So they have used this term a lot, but not once using it in the context of exercising, so the person don't consciously necessarily make that connection. In other languages the word run doesn't have the ability to be used in this way. So it just means that you wouldn't do this in those languages. There may be words which could work in this way, but if not, then you just wouldn't use this specific hypnotic technique. It doesn't impact hypnosis working, but it just means certain techniques or ideas just don't translate, but hypnosis can be done just fine in any language or even with no language.

[@janec362]

The problem is the first screen because i dont really no why i drink.

[@DanTheTortoise]

That would be the step to work on before engaging with the process. Obviously in therapy sessions we can take however much time a client needs to gather the relevant information prior to moving on to the technique, whereas here it just gets into the technique. One place to start is with exploring what situations the drinking happens. This could be about deciding not to use the process for a week or two so that you can experience that time and make a note of observing for when you feel like drinking, what is it about this situations? Is it specific times or locations or thoughts or emotional states, c etc? If there is no trigger then you would obviously not drink because nothing is triggering the drinking. For one person, they could be depressed and maybe the trigger is when they open their eyes in the morning and see they have made it to another day, this trigger then to drink to try to escape the reality and start the day drinking. Maybe for someone, once they first go into the kitchen after walking up, they want to drink, or perhaps it's a social thing and as soon as they are in a social situation they want to drink. For example, back when I used to drink heavily it was entirely in social situations and was because I'm autistic and had figured out drinking was a good strategy for handling social situations. I could keep going a getting another drink and that would limit interactions with people, I could keep having the drink going up my mouth and that would limit how much I have to interact with people as I could be focused on the drinking and pretend I didn't notice them, and once I had drunk enough I would care much less about anything and would be deeply relaxed and so people would talk to me and I would just sit quietly but not be bothered by their presence. So the trigger for me was once I was in a venue with people. I didn't drink alone or in any other setting but 7 days per week every night from about 11pm to 6am I would drink about 18 pints of snake bite and black or, about 3 bottles of Jack Daniels, Pernod, Southern Comfort or Absinthe (I progressed on to spirits for the last year or so of my heavy drinking, initially mainly Jack Daniels, but towards the end, mainly Absinthe). So if there is no trigger then the is no drinking. So it's about looking at when you drink, what led to that? Why did you decide to have that drink? And what is the connection between those times you decide to drink? Some triggers may just be pattern triggers, but there will be some that are key triggers. Like with a smoker, they may smoke 60 cigarettes a day and most of these might just be habit cigarettes, like answering the phone so you have a cigarette, or having a coffee, so you have a cigarette. But others will be solutions to a problem, like smoking to socialise, or smoking to reduce stress, or smoking to take breaks etc. These would be the triggers the smoker would want to focus on, rather than just the habitual triggers, because these are the drivers of the smoking, the ones where the smoking is a solution to a problem. So with the drinking, it is about noticing when is the drinking a solution to a problem, like blotting out reality, reducing stress or anxiety, blotting something from the mind, like trauma etc, making time seem to pass quicker, meeting a need, like drinking to be able to socialise or connect with others, or to feel a part of a group, or to have a sense of status, or to have something you can control in your life, etc. And if the drinking has just become a habit that really serves no other purpose, like if a smoker now just smokes as a habit and not as a purpose, then it is finding what the most common habit times are and use this process on those first. So if it is a habit that whenever you are in a venue which serves alcohol you just automatically ask for alcohol, or in a venue with alcohol or with friends when they ask if you would like a drink you just instinctively name an alcoholic drink, then it could be by addressing just these two patterns, being in a venue and asking for a drink yourself, or being asked by a friend if you would like a drink, could eliminate much of the problem if drinking stops in these two areas, so you would do this process twice, once in each of these, with one time having the first box being someone asking if you want a drink. The second time being you asking for a drink.

[@janec362]

Oh wow that is all so helpful. It is definitely related to a trigger to switch off from a very stressful life and ' at the moment ' not a life I can change much of....ie both parents in different nursing homes - mum who was my best friend and saw everyday with Alzheimers for 12years I feel a loss even though she is still alive etc etc etc.... I do probably need councilling first - just not sure where to begin finding the right councillor. Thanks for the info

[@DanTheTortoise]

I hope that you find someone helpful. This can still work, but if drinking is currently a solution then change is likely to be temporary as it is your brains simple and known solution, so if you suddenly stopped the question would be how would you manage this situations and having to deal with it all without the drink? This is easier to work out with help, where you can explore what skills or alternative solution would be helpful, like perhaps learning to be able to relax and focus your mind on other things, or developing healthy coping strategies, or perhaps even having someone to talk to that can help (so whether it is a friend or therapist etc, I'm not on about therapy, but rather just being heard and getting things out of your head, rather than the person or you trying to solve what may be unsolvable). Some at home strategies that can help if they suit you are taking time each day to write down what is on your mind, like weird vomit on to a page, just to get stuff out of your head, writing down any worries or repetitive thoughts etc and anything which can have a resolution or closure or even acknowledgement that it can't be resolved can have this written with it. It isn't a perfect fix or anything, but it can help to reduce the brain being overloaded.

[@gunterverlie59]

Could i use this script also for stopping smoking?

[@DanTheTortoise]

This same process is the one I use on my quit smoking video to help break the smoking pattern

[@jamesrasberry1204]

I incorporated this script as a follow up to a non smoking induction I do to help people stop smoking.

[@Michelina22]

I stumbled upon this and I’m really curious if it really works…I don’t really believe in hypnosis

[@DanTheTortoise]

Hypnosis is the process of focusing attention so that you can do something better. So hypnosis used with cognitive behaviour therapy makes CBT more effective. Hypnosis is like reading a book or watching a film (when absorbed in a book, you shut out distractions as your focus increases, which makes you better able to respond to the content of the book, the same when watching a film)... So here, by focusing your attention (so that you ignore distractions, including thinking about other things etc) on the process used to help quit drinking helps make the process more effective.

[@audreym3777]

Deep sleep hypnosis…in 20 min. 🤦‍♀️ dost thou not understand deep sleep?

[@DanTheTortoise]

This has nothing to do with sleep? This is a self hypnosis process for helping people quit drinking alcohol...
