This full day session is lead by someone who\u2019s also quitted drinking following the method. This reinforced everything I\u2019d read but also offered the opportunity to ask questions and hear about other people\u2019s experiences in the group.<br><br>There\u2019s also a light relaxation section at the end \u2013 and absolutely no role play or group exercises, don\u2019t worry! This was a game-changer for me, and also has the added benefit of helping you set a very clear date in your diary for quitting \u2013 as you won\u2019t ever want a drink again after leaving the session \u2013 and if you do, you can attend again for free.
