The more success is discovered using hypnosis for alcohol addiction the more sense it makes to engage in the process. Many addicts have the dual challenge of battling physical urges and well as recognizing and dealing with mental triggers. Hypnosis can help just about any addict learn how to deal with these issues on a whole different level.
During an addiction the addict puts into play a host of emotional responses that leads them right back to the bottle. What hypnosis can do is help the brain in effect rewire itself in order to find new ways of dealing with emotional issues. Hypnosis can also create relief for the very significant and real physical withdrawal symptoms and subsequent cravings.

Question by Dan: I’m a moderately heavy drinker, am I in danger of death due to alcohol withdrawal?
So on average I’ll have between 4-11 drinks in a normal 4-7 hour session between 4-5 days per week, 99% of the time its just beer. I’ve recently decided to pretty much stop for a while, which is no big deal for me. I’ve been able to stop whenever I’ve wanted in the past, however sometimes subconciously I feel that I have a pretty slightly moderate dependance, not necessarily a physical addiction but more or so less psychological.
I’ve experienced small to very moderately low symptoms of withdrawal, mainly the normal hangover symptoms the first day (headache, dehydration, sensitivity to certain sounds or lights), and later on some slight agitation (just having a short fuse or less patience with some things) as well as some moderate emotionally negative feelings here and there with some slight anxiety.

There is no one reason why people become addicts. However, science is making great inroads in understanding some of the reasons that certain people are prone to the type of addictive actions that eventually lead them into a rehab center. Genetic, environmental factors and mental health conditions are just a few of the risk factors that lead some people into a spiral of addiction that forces them to end up in drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
Genetics: People who have a family member with a drug or alcohol problem are at a high risk for addictive behavior themselves. The results of one study suggested that children or siblings of drug and alcohol abusers were two to four times more likely to have a drug or alcohol addiction than someone with a history of addiction in their immediate family. The types of unhappy childhood environments that come from families with addiction is one factor, but so are issues with the “wiring of the brain” that appear to be handed down from generation to generation.

Most women know that drinking excessively isn’t good for an unborn child, and many have heard of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) – the worst consequence of alcohol addiction in pregnant mothers. But few women are aware of the fact that even one drink a week can harm their unborn child.
FAS affects thousands of children every year. Untreatable birth defects that lead to poor memory, attention problems, impulsive behavior, and other mental and emotional issues make these children difficult to educate and raise. Their lives often turn into a maelstrom of drug and alcohol addiction, substance-related crime, and violence. Statistically, kids with FAS are more likely to die violent deaths than others. Other than miscarriage or dying in the womb, FAS is the worst consequence of drinking while pregnant.

Alcoholism is a powerful craving for alcohol which often results in the compulsive consumption of alcohol. The cause of this craving is heavily debated, but the most popular beliefs are that it is a chemical or nutrional imbalance, a genetic predisposition, a neurological effect caused by runaway learning mechanisms or an inability to curb one’s own desire for enjoyment.
Alcoholism is often a controversial subject. Some believe it to be a biological disease, but the inability to tie it to a specific biological causation makes this is a political debate and not a medical one.
