Anyone use EFT?

I did a search on EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) in the Forums and didn't find a single reference to it. I'm kind of surprised it hasn't popped up here as one tool in a holistic approach to overcoming alcohol cravings. It's free and there's pretty much all the info you need to get started online at EFT - Emotional Freedom Techniques -- Learn from the Founder Gary Craig I have to admit, having tried doing it alone though hasn't worked out for me.

I've just started working with a coach (2nd session tonight) who uses this technique, and while I've still been drinking off and on, I'm beginning to see how it is going to help. I'd love to talk with others who might be interested.

btw, I'm pretty new to MWO, so I may not use the right terminology. For instance, I didn't know if people here refer to "addiction".

Welcome! We have talked about EFT here before. I went to an EFT therapist for a while but sadly it did nothing for me. I know many people it has done wonders for so keep it up! The theory behind it makes total sense to me.

For my opinion, for chronic alcoholism if you combine EFT and drug treatment it helps a lot. I would say EFT alone doesnt help to the point of quitting. Tried it. Didnt help me either but may work for others. Keep the great work up

Don't know a thing about it, sorry. Just wanted to Welcome you. It does sound very intriguing. I will have to read up on it. Thanks for the link.

Hey Nan, I discovered Gary Craig's site a couple years ago. I was very intrigued, printed out the whole booklet thing, taught myself the technique... and being the alcoholic I am, didn't stick to it consistently enough to determine whether or not it works.

I believe there are many paths to healing, and it seems that EFT can be an option for many.

Hi

I did try EFT but like My Own Woman says I really did not stick to it long enough. I also did not have a therapist, which I can imagine make a big difference.

Please let us know how to get on!

Good luck.
