Answer by Lynne B
I know this doesn’t answer you question but there is something else you might want to look into too. It is called EFT & it can be done over the phone it is so easy & powerfull effective. I haven’t used it for addiction but I have a son that died after years of addiction. I used it for grief etc. You can look it up on the interned & put EFT Gary Craig in the search & you will find practitioners from there. If you can’t afford them ask or tell them what you can afford but keep opening to recieve help. I wish you the best.
