Alcohol
30 years of drinking, ended in 10 days

I started drinking at 16 and by my mid-forties I was drinking a full bottle of whiskey a day. AA, inpatient rehab twice, and nothing could break through. My GP warned me my liver was failing. MindScape's medical team got...

Finally free after 12 years

Depression and alcohol together. They fed each other for a decade. I'd drink to numb the depression and then feel more depressed because I was drinking. Every treatment I tried addressed one or the other but not both tog...
