I'm doing both (AA & therapy), so : )

In any case, no idea on the hypnosis, but on a related note, I just got some meditation CDs - called Full Catastrophe Living. Have listened to the intro, but not the whole thing. The idea is to change thought patterns - live more in the present (instead of guilt about yesterday/anxiety about tomorrow). Will let you know what I think but it's comes highhly recommended.

Good luck

This is something that is not magic, but worth a look. I think it is relaxing, and can offer subtle suggestions to change behavior. I have been hypnotized to reduce anxiety by a fellow school member while in grad school and who knows what it did to be honest. I still get nervous :)~

There are some good dvd and cd's out that you can simply buy online and use at home. This is not a quick fix by any means, but can work on the unconsious to align itself better with your conscious daily working plan toward recovery.

I did try hypnosis about four years ago. kind of one of the last few things i tryed before aa. found it very relaxing and calming.seemed to help me stop for a while but it was 40 a session then I couldent afford to keep it going long term but i dont regret trying it
