How Zeolite Helped Me Beat 20 Plus Years of Alcohol Addiction

This was day 1 of my journey to sobriety - me and my daughter were off to a Michael Jackson Tribute Act

It’s only very recently that I’ve been able to admit to myself “I have an alcohol addiction”. Before, I just used to say things like “I love the party” and “I love going out and socialising”. But once I became a single mum and the social life ended, I quickly found myself having a party for one which included at least one, if not more, bottles of wine most nights. My sleep was non-existent, my anxiety through the roof, I was short and bad tempered with my young daughter, and money was disappearing faster than I could earn it. That’s when I had to start facing up to the person staring back at me in the mirror.

I was first introduced to Zeolite in March this year, when a friend of mine recommended it to me, just as a way of detoxing. I’d never heard of it before, but I was very aware of all the metals and toxins that are in virtually everything we come in to contact with, and so I wanted to try it. I remember my friend saying at the time “you might be surprised by what happens mind”. Oh how true that was!

Just to be clear, when I started taking Zeolite I didn’t for one minute even link it to helping me control my alcohol addiction. I didn’t know there was a link between clearing toxins, and aiding addiction recovery. I took it just to improve my health and had absolutely no great expectations – I wasn’t even sure I believed it would do much at all!

So I started taking the PBX and things started happening. My sleep for one increased from 3 hours to a solid 6-7 hours straight a night. My skin got clearer, my mood got more stable and my hormone cycles got much more regulated.

And then, one morning, I remember just waking up and thinking “I really don’t fancy a drink today”. Now this wasn’t unusual… I was usually feeling pretty rough from the night before first thing and didn’t want to drink. But lunchtime came and went and I still didn’t fancy a drink that night. The usual pattern was, by lunch time I’d start justifying to myself why I was able to drink that night.. “It’s been a tough day”, “it’s Friday” or “I didn’t drink that much last night” etc etc. But those conversations didn’t come in to my head… I simply did not fancy drinking alcohol. So I went with it. And 5 weeks on I am still going with it.. I haven’t touched alcohol since that day.

So how does this link in with taking Zeolite? What I have since come to learn is, when you remove toxins from your body, our bodies do not want to have them put back in. Why would they? These toxins are poisonous to us. So, our clever little bodies build natural aversions to the things we previously used to consume readily – the things we were poisoning ourselves with. And what that looks like in real time is, we simply don’t find these things appealing anymore. This is why I didn’t want to drink alcohol from that day forward.

Week 3 and I went to a festival and stayed sober for the first time ever. (That's a 0% cider in my hand)

Now don’t get me wrong… there a whole heap of other stuff you have to figure out for yourself when you abstain from any substance you are addicted to. For me, I had to learn how to celebrate, grieve, socialise, feel confident and have fun on a night out all over again; as this time I was doing it all sober. And I am still very learning this now – it doesn’t all change overnight. But, if you just don’t feel compelled to drink alcohol, then that is half the battle won right there!

I can’t say this will be everyone’s experience, but it has been mine and I am eternally grateful for this. Never have I felt more positive about my life than I do right now! I am more focussed, I have more money, I feel and look healthier and I have more money. And I mean look at this… I am sat here at 10pm writing a blog for my own website as I want to make something of myself. Before, I’d be 2 bottles of wine down by now and fit for nothing!

So, if I were to give anyone else in a similar situation advice, I’d say at least give it a try and see for yourself. At the very least you’d be having a great detox, but you may also find that the results are very surprising for you too - in the most positive way possible!
