What Clients are Saying

Ken
I have been clean and sober for over 2 years. I am becoming the person I always wanted to be and
living the life I always wanted.
Do whatever it takes!
Wendi told me there are many different ways to the top of the mountain...so keep climbing.

Julia
Tomorrow is trash day - I
used to dread hearing my recycling empty into the truck for all the neighborhood to hear all the cases of empty beer and wine bottles clanking together... Now I have all
these plastic water bottles that make MY recycling is unremarkable. It's a strange little thing, but I love that.

Jim
I just finished my first Triathlon 1 mile swim 20
mile bike and a 5 k run... Try doing that with a 40 pound beer gut.!
The ohs and ahs of people who hadn't seen me in a few years was awsome!
In the best shape of my life
at age 47... Always thanks
to you Wendi for the start of living my life on purpose

Mike
I just returned from a Caribbean cruise where drinking was plentiful.Didn't phase me in the least. I have simply become a non drinker a person who chooses not to drink, simple cool... I have been sober for almost 2 years now longer by far then any AA stint where I lived in constant fear. I am also a big Wendi fan. Anything I can do to support this wonderful way
of living sober
 COUNT ME IN!.

Last night, I went to hear a
friend's music client perform. I had one beer and shifted to diet cola. I had a blast. Music was fantastic -I even participated as an invited, casual “performer” on a couple of songs. Then, as well as this morning, I had no guilt about having a beer, smiled about having
“performed” under the influence of a diet cola, andI am not struggling through the grind of detoxing.

This “program” is working and is going to work even more. It's not just about alcohol. It's about one's viewpoint of living life and addressing one's deep desires for a healthful, satisfying, creative, fulfilling self being actively engaged in creating the positive.

Thoughts from a client of the Alcohol Freedom program.

I look forward to hearing your beautiful voice everyday. You have truly been a blessing in my life and undone all the damage traditional treatment has done to me. As with most people with substance abuse problems, the more "help" you get, the worse the habit becomes.

I walked into AA four years ago a problem drinker who was expecting to find a happy, healthy group of people who would slap me on the back, tell me to buck it up and support me in sobriety.
Just the opposite is true.
They convinced me I was sick, sick sick and should NEVER
trust myself.
They teach you to live in mortal fear of alcohol, of yourself and your thoughts, assuring you that you'll die if you don't "work a good program" whatever that means.

When I told my sponsor that I'd realized AA would not work for me, that I found it negative and fear-based, that I was simply not the type of person who blindly accepts dogma without questioning it, I was screamed at that "you are going to end up dead" and the phone slammed down. Not one of these people has ever contacted me again after receiving daily phone calls,

socializing, etc. under the pretense of caring and support. I saw my lovely sponsor in the grocery store and she glared at me and turned her cart around to go the other way! Such serenity and love they have.
n the years since my first exposure to AA, I went from problem drinker to full-blown addict who had to be hospitalized twice for detox. Beware of recovery group disorder because it can be a killer for so many people. I am sickened by the stranglehold they have on this country and the cult they have evolved into with the blessing of the medical community.
Wendi, again, anything I can do to help you with your WONDERFUL program, I will do.
t is exactly what substance abusers need and is the polar opposite of the current treatment in this country which nobody seems to be examining.
 couldn't imagine life in AA or life in addiction. It is an impossible choice since neither one of them offers a chance to live as an independent person with dreams and goals.

You've given that back to me.

Please let me know what I can do to give back to you.

Thank you Wendi....

Dear Wendi,

About 2 months ago, I ordered the ALCOHOL FREEDOM program, and so far as of today, I'm on day 27 of Abstaining from Alcohol and I've lost 10 lbs! 

It's amazing. I feel so great.

I listened to the Aversion Track because I knew I really needed to stop drinking totally and lose this
extra 60 lbs I've been dragging around on my 5' frame.

I LOVE your hypnosis sessions, they are working for me, I just can't believe
it.

One minute I think about having a drink, and within 1/2 of a second, my mind is just totally somewhere else, the thought vanishes.

There is no desire to struggle with, it's gone. Thank you, again.

So, I have to tell you about my life, before I found these programs, but I'll make it brief.

The last 8 years I went through monumental life changes. I started drinking to escape the loneliness and pain, and started gaining lots of weight - 60 lbs.

I had no energy, was sleeping all the time in the middle of my days and drinking 5 or 6 pints of beer or a bottle of wine every night

I'm an artist and I'm wanting to get busy painting my pictures, as well, and have a gallery showing next year. I started taking a course in Public Relations nights at College, I'm looking for a job, and raising my 3 sons on my own, ages 13, 17 and 23.
 
So...no more procrastinating, it's time to get my life completely under control.
I feel so great.
Thanks again Wendi.
Yours truly,
Pamela

Dear Wendi,

At age 45 I had been drinking since I was about 15.I had tried numerous ways to quit drinking. AA, rehab, cold turkey you name it. A few days or weeks I would be right back to where I was only feeling worse about my self after another failed attempt to quit drinking. I never could stop the desire to drink.

Wendi's program changed my thinking and gave me a new lease on life. I have been sober 10 month's now and haven't had a desire to drink in about 9 and half months. I lost 20 LBS, workout, write have dreams and goals again! I have a new life. No desire to drink... doesn't bother me at all. I still play golf with my drinking buddy's and tailgate at Carolina Panther games, and I am often asked to be the Designated Driver. Ironic after numerous DUI's. Even when I am not listening to the
CD's I often hear Wendi's sweet voice telling me to be proud of the person I have become. I am extremely proud of myself and happier then I have ever been.

Thanks Wendi

 I really can't thank you enough.

Wendi,

I listen to your three minute hypnosis every morning and at other times in the day if I feel I need a boost!... but I am so thankful to you... I give you the credit for my sobriety.... and for the peaceful response that I have now to the things that used to trigger the anxiety and fear that made me want to have a drink... I have tried everything... (or so I thought!).... I have destroyed relationships right and left since I started to drink... and
already some of the people I love have let me back into their lives, and it feels so good to have another chance....

Dear Wendi,

I ordered your CDs 6 wks ago, I gotta tell you I haven't had a beer in six weeks and my family came over drinking for thanksgiving and I wasn't
even tempted have a beer. I only listened to 3 or 4 days of your program, and I just totally lost my urge to have a beer which is unusual because I drink a minimum of a 6 pack a day, and have for 15 years. Just wanted to tell you how much I appreciated you.

Dear Wendi,

It has been over four months that I took my last drink.
 It has been easy which is unbelievable to me as I have no more desires.
I feel tremendously healthy. I feel empowered and free from needing alcohol in my life.
 
I owe it all to the program that has taken away the dreaded and shameful dependency. I realized that the reasons I drank were more about old beliefs and past sensations that I held in my subconscious.

I imagined a time when my parents were happy around the smell of alcohol. I believed that as a young child this was what "happy" was supposed to be like when in reality it was more about lack of confidence
and escape.

I learned negative patterns that made me drink myself into oblivion. But now all that energy for drinking has been
cleared away to reveal my truth. I no longer need alcohol to be feel
confident or happy!

The Addiction Project
is a result of major changes
in the way we look at
addictions. With success rates
for traditional rehab and
AA in the single digits, and
addictions on the rise, it is
time to look at how the
brain works.


Wendi Friesen has
achieved remarkable success
with addicts who have
failed at numerous attempts
to stop alcohol and
substance abuse.
Why is this method working
when drug and alcohol
rehab methods typically
have a 90% failure rate?
