Alcohol Addiction – Sebastian’s Story
⚜️Sebastian, a 39-year-old man, walked into my office overwhelmed by alcohol addiction. For years, he had found in drinking the only way to numb his pain and stress. But the addiction was destroying his health, relationships, and self-confidence.
⚜️It all started with “just one drink to relax” after work. His colleagues invited him daily for a drink, and that one glass slowly turned into several. Over time, the habit became a daily routine and a heavy burden.
⚜️Sebastian was living alone, and in moments of loneliness, alcohol gave him the illusion that he was not so alone. Yet this “false company” pushed him deeper into isolation and suffering.⚜️He began to have problems at work: it became harder to wake up in the morning, to focus, and to complete his tasks. He started neglecting himself, putting his own needs aside, and losing his self-esteem. Relationships with his family grew cold, and his loved ones looked at him with worry and helplessness.
⚜️He felt like he was losing control, sliding down a dangerous path – his health was suffering, his body was sending warning signals, and his soul was weighed down by shame and guilt.
⚜️During the hypnotherapy sessions, we discovered together that the root of his addiction was not alcohol itself, but repressed emotions and the lack of love and acceptance from childhood. Alcohol had only been a mask, a temporary “anesthesia” that numbed the pain but blocked the healing.⚜️Through the therapeutic process, Sebastian learned to face his wounds, acknowledge his emotions, and find healthy resources to cope with stress. He discovered the inner strength to say “no” to temptation and began to rebuild his life step by step.
⚜️After 4 months of consistent hypnotherapy sessions, Sebastian gave up alcohol completely. Day by day, the addiction lost its grip on him. The cycles of guilt and shame were replaced with compassion and confidence. His relationships with his family healed.
⚜️Today, Sebastian lives free from alcohol, with renewed energy and the joy of being present with his loved ones.
⚜️The transformation was not easy – butthe results are extraordinary: health, clarity, balance, freedom.
Today, Sebastian smiles genuinely and enjoys a life with a freedom he never thought he would experience again.
⚠️If you feel touched by his story, remember that you too can reclaim your power. You are not defined by your past. You deserve freedom, healing, and a life lived in balance.
