## What is iCan Stop Drinking?

Learn the benefits of Self Hypnosis

Problems with alcohol are a common occurrence in today’s culture and can range in intensity from strong cravings to alcohol abuse to alcoholism itself, the most severe. Alcoholism occurs when a person becomes completely dependent on ‘the drink’ to get them through daily life, even at the cost of any problems that may arise, and is sometimes indicative of a physical addiction as well. 
There are many reasons why people drink. Social situations and psychological factors are the most common. However, those with a family history of excessive drinking are also at a high risk for becoming alcoholics themselves, due to a genetic predisposition to the disease.
An addiction to alcohol can take its toll on a person’s life, causing problems at work or with friends and family. It is a debilitating disorder that can lead to various health conditions, such as:

• sleep deprivation
• blackouts and/or confusion
• mood swings (varying from depression to violent outbursts)
• anemia
• seizures
• liver and other organ damage

Even if an individual suffering from alcoholism genuinely wants to stop drinking, quitting can be very difficult. Withdrawal symptoms can range from mild to severe (requiring medical help) and are sometimes a reason many continue drinking. For those who do go into a detoxification program, it is often recommended to treat the anxiety associated with withdrawal symptoms.
This is a condition that responds well to self-hypnosis, a safe, drugless therapy that has been shown to have remarkable effectiveness, even when other treatments may fail. It is a particularly successful method when the source of a problem is emotional or tension-related, however deep-rooted it may be. Self-suggestion is a process which strikes at the core of a problem, rather than simply masking the symptoms, making it especially helpful for a variety of complaints.
The very term “Hypnosis” is a direct reference to the ancient Greek “Hypnos”, meaning sleep, and indicates the relaxed, sleep-like, state that is necessary for suggestion to take effect. However, many often have trouble reaching this deeper level of consciousness on their own and require the assistance of a skilled hypnotherapist to ease them into, and out of, a hypnotic state. 
Mr. Mackinnon is such an individual, having helped countless people over the years to achieve their goals through guided self-hypnosis. The advancements of the Internet have allowed him to make his technique available to more people than ever before. His new iPhone app is designed to work with you, at your own pace, directing your transition from start to finish and ensuring maximum results.

### 5/5 — Worked for me

*2022-04-15, version 3.0*

I did not think it was possible, but the hypnotic suggestions seemed to strengthen my resolve. I tried it once and it did not have an effect, but went back several months later. It has been 30 days and I do not even have a crave or urge to drink. I also changed my behavior and other negative habits that were affecting my mood.

### 5/5 — Wow

*2019-09-08, version 2.0*

I have just finished a course I 4 sessions with a hypnosis therapy & I find this app is actually better.
His voice made my whole body & mind so relaxed it felt like I couldn’t move it was so comfortable in Trans.
To soon to know if it helps with the drinking but I’m pretty impressed that it will.

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2016-06-14, version 2.0*

I tried the anxiety free app and it was pretty good. I decided to get the stop drinking version. They charge you $3 and it's exactly the same as the anxiety free app. I'm assuming all of them are the same script word for word. Such a rip off. I wouldn't even bother with any of his apps

### 2/5 — No backgroun music/sound

*2015-12-13, version 2.0*

No backgroun music/sound and the guy scottich accent to so strong that i just couldnt relax

### 4/5 — hypnosis

*2015-11-16, version 2.0*

I found Donald's  voice quite soothing and found it helped.  However I am a bit of a perfectionist and a few errors in what was said jarred on my nerves.  I was going to list them but you may not notice and if this helps you all to the good.

### 5/5 — I love this app and it works !!!

*2014-01-30, version 1.4*

Yes this guy does stumble on a few of his words- but for the price of a cup of coffee I thought i would give it a go. It is now day 5 - I have not had a drink and have not thought about it. I feel calm and relaxed and look forward to using this app a couple of times a day- I drank a bottle of wine a day ( usually more) -what have you got to lose? I love this app!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Not worth the money

*2013-03-30, version 1.4*

Seriously ?
The fella stumbles, mumbles and generally sounds incoherent.
Unprofessional drivel

### 1/5 — Not good

*2013-01-28, version 1.4*

This is not a good hypnosis app, please don't waste your money. The male strong Scottish accent is off putting, I can hear him rustle hi papers and almost hear his saliva swallowed as he try's to speak clearly, he makes mistakes on script and in the hypnosis does not help you deal with anything alcohol related but tries to tell you how to use self hypnosis. I hesitated before buying but ideally I would like a refund.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2012-09-30*

Very unprofessional and wrong . -10

### 4/5 — I found it helpful

*2012-07-05, version 1.4*

I used this app to help me and not for relaxation. As one of the first apps I have ever purchased I found it did help and I'm keen to find more.
