Alcohol Addiction

‘I tried acupuncture to help me quit binge drinking’

GETTING TO THE POINT –

May 23, 2024 – According to Barr, my emotions had a similar composition as a radiator (bear with me); I was radiating rage and the pressure needed to be released, and this, he said, is what acupuncture can apparently offer. Otherwise, this heat leads to cravings, like chocolate or sex, or in my case booze. Barr divulged that acupuncture can help “calibrate the organ’s function, to help invigorate it to do its job more efficiently. You’re encouraging the blood flow through the liver, so you’ll help disperse the heat”. Basically, it helps rebalance. 

I’d never tried acupuncture before (it all seemed a bit wishy-washy to me), but Barr explained he’d had some success in treating different forms of addiction through it. Obviously, the treatment has its limitations and if you’ve got a serious addiction this won’t be a one-stop solution. But given my attempts at more traditional methods had failed, I was cynical but intrigued – and agreed to try.
