  never tried it for alcoholism, but i did try hypnosis therapy. it worked pretty fine for me. but not all people find it useful- it's not close to what you see at the movies. there is a scale from 1 to 12 (or 14 ...) on your reaction to hypnosis and most of us are on the 6-7. which is good enough. anyway, according to this:
  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15376606?ordinalp...
  combined with other treatments- hypnosis is a good treatment for Alcoholism.
  good luck!!

  Interesting thought, I looked around and found this article about using hypnosis as a treatment vs. regular psychotherapy. There were no significant differences. But that means there is a success rate for it.
  Here’s the link to the article:

  Hypnosis is a very effective treatment for addictions, it was used back in the 19th century as one but the use of hypnosis today is smaller then before. Here is a web page with some info about it:
