EFT Tapping Script
Healing Alcohol Addiction
Preparation
Sit comfortably with your feet grounded.
Place your hands over your heart or on your lap.
Take a slow, deep breath in… and exhale fully.
Bring awareness to your cravings, triggers, or urges to drink alcohol.
Notice physical sensations (tension, nausea, restlessness) and emotions (anxiety, guilt, shame, or sadness).
Acknowledge these feelings without judgment, knowing it’s safe to release them and regain control.
