Quit drinking with hypnosis even when nothing else has seemed to work.
If you are tired of relying on sheer willpower, waking up with regret, and feeling completely blocked by your drinking habits, there is a better way.
Complimentary call to see if we're a good fit to work together.
WARNING: Abruptly stopping alcohol can be dangerous for someone who is physically dependent or at risk of withdrawal. If that may apply, speak with a qualified medical professional before reducing or stopping alcohol or beginning this program. For free, confidential support 24/7, you can call the SAMHSA National Helpline at 1-800-662-4357.
Dan on why quitting feels impossible, and why it's not your fault.
This program provides hypnosis, education, and practical exercises; it does not diagnose or treat alcohol dependence or any medical condition.
In person in Fairfax or online everywhere. Serving Washington, DC, Maryland and Virginia, including Fairfax County, Prince William County, Loudoun County, Arlington, Alexandria, Falls Church, Bethesda and Potomac.
Also works for weed.
After: no negotiation. Just a normal evening.
Does this sound like you?
You're not the only one who's tried everything.
Each of these comes from someone who sat in Dan's chair and wrote about it afterward.

Why it feels impossible
And why it's not your fault.
"If it were really just about accountability, you'd be able to follow the steps and get a sponsor... but it's not."
Hypnosis works on the subconscious habit itself, so you're not white-knuckling it with willpower every evening.
What changed for them
"The desire to drink was just gone."
In their own words, from Dan's reviews.
"From the second my appointment ended, the desire to drink was just gone."
Dave · now over 100 days sober
"It has required exactly zero effort."
Andy
"I've been to cocktail parties... and I haven't had to dip into willpower even a little bit."
Andy
No more "mental gymnastics of negotiating with myself over whether I could have a drink today."
Dave
"I am truly a non-drinker and I plan to stay that way."

The full reviews
Drank a bottle nightly, now a non-drinker
"It's been life-changing! It has required exactly zero effort. I've been to cocktail parties and endured stressful evenings... I've been exposed to all my trigger points and I haven't had to dip into willpower even a little bit. Really crazy! I've also lost 10lbs... wins all around!"
Andy
Drank until he passed out, now over 100 days sober
"If you want to truly change your life, go see Dan! I spent over a decade as a "high-functioning" drinker, relying heavily on alcohol to numb out after demanding work days. I doubted hypnosis could break a habit that deeply ingrained, but I was exhausted from trying to moderate my drinking and failing.
From the second my appointment ended, the desire to drink was just gone. I also haven't experienced the usual exhaustion, mood swings, or the mental gymnastics of negotiating with myself over whether I could have a drink today.
Dan does way more than just hypnosis. He took the time to explain things, and gave me practical tools to stay on track. I feel completely free and am 100% certain alcohol is out of my life permanently!"
Dave
"I quit drinking with hypnosis!"
"My problem was I drank almost every night and felt like I liked it so much that I couldn't stop. It was starting to affect my job as I wasn't sleeping well and just felt sluggish. I bought a book about quitting, but couldn't stick with it. A friend recommended Dan because he helped them quit smoking and they had lasted over a year.
Wow, Hypnosis is like magic! I immediately felt different and Dan held me accountable to a daily commitment and gave me tools to strengthen until this has now become my new reality, I am truly a non-drinker and I plan to stay that way. Thanks Dan for helping me start over because my life is so much better! I highly recommend Dan and DC Hypnosis to anyone who wants to change and is struggling. Dan is the real deal and also an awesome guy!"

Questions about quitting drinking
What people ask Dan first.
General questions about hypnosis are on the FAQ page.
Can I still go to parties and dinners?
Andy's experience: "I've been to cocktail parties and endured stressful evenings... I've been exposed to all my trigger points and I haven't had to dip into willpower even a little bit."
Do I have to quit completely, or can I cut back?
In Dan's words: "The sober living system is a transformation of the person you are with the habit to the person you become who is completely sober. There is no scaling back, weaning off, or replacements."
I've tried AA or a program before. How is this different?
AA, books, seminars and therapy all work with the conscious mind, which hates to change. Hypnosis goes to the source of the habit, your subconscious mind, and reprograms it, a bit like flipping a switch from on to off. The goal is for you to become a non-drinker.
Is it safe to stop drinking suddenly?
This program provides hypnosis, education, and practical exercises; it does not diagnose or treat alcohol dependence or any medical condition. Abruptly stopping alcohol can be dangerous for someone who is physically dependent or at risk of withdrawal. If that may apply, speak with a qualified medical professional before reducing or stopping alcohol or beginning this program.
How many sessions will I need?
Quitting drinking is usually a single session. You then reinforce it at home with hypnosis audio, so you can condition the new behavior and create lasting change.
Does it work for weed too?
Yes. Mention it in your free consultation. Each habit change will require a dedicated session to reprogram your subconscious mind.
Can I do this online?
Yes. In person in Fairfax tends to be best if you're within driving distance, but online is just as effective: once your eyes close, it's the same process.
Where do you see clients?
