Real Case Studies - ABIS Feedback part III

Hello

We have another positive story to share with you. This time its an alcohol related story from a 48 year old male. 

“I’ve gone down from regularly drinking 1.5 litres of vodka over 1 and a half nights (mixed with 2 litres of coke) to nothing.


I’ve lost over half a stone in weight and I just feel better. On our last session, when I said I was going back to drink the vodka – I didn’t. I just felt better about myself.


The biggest scare was when, at our last session, you told me about the damage it does to the body – I looked it up on the web and it made me knock the vodka on the head.


I now feel like taking the kids out on bike rides, I’ve started flying more now, and I’m going to start mountain biking with some guys on Mondays. I used to be really good at it, but I think now, the best way is to build it up again.

I feel different now ‘cos I’m not wanting to go back home and drink anymore – I’m getting better – I don’t feel so bad during the day”

 

As usual thanks for taling the time to read this. Please do share teh story with anyone who you think would appreciate it.
