Want to cut down on your drinking instead of giving it up?
618 studies funded by the National Institutes of Health over the past 39 years have now produced a powerful method for cutting down on your drinking instead of giving it up.
Unlike Alcoholics Anonymous, this method gives you six practical behavior tools that show you how to create healthy drinking habits and make them stick.
You’ll stop having hangovers and feeling sick, you’ll be happier at home and at work, and you’ll get along better with your family.
Here are the six tools and the skills you’ll get from them:
- Taking the first step toward cutting down.
How to create healthy-drinking plans; how to put them into action; and how to stick with them even in changing circumstances.
- Rewarding yourself for progress.
Why rewards help you to cut down; how to identify the right rewards for you; and how to reward yourself for small changes as well as big ones.
- Putting more fun into your life.
How to make your life more satisfying so you just naturally drink less.
- The art of refusing drinks.
How to spot risky situations; how to use the special mind-focusing technique called “urge-surfing;” and how to say no politely to people who offer you alcohol.
- How to rebound from drinking mistakes.
Why they happen; what you can learn from them; and how to build an early-warning system to stop them.
- Getting help from your family instead of criticism.
How to tell your family that you’re fixing your drinking problem; how to show them what they can do to help; and how to ask for their support.
Dr. Edison has taught these tools to people for 14 years. Doctors and other professionals who know him well recommend his work:
“When I want my problem-drinking patients to get excellent care, I send them to Dr. Edison. I can’t think of a better endorsement than that.”
— Katya Frischer, M.D., Assistant Professor, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Albert Einstein College of Medicine; Associate Psychiatry Residency Director, Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center; Private Practice, Upper West Side of Manhattan
“I met Mark Edison in 2004 when we worked together at Mount Sinai Roosevelt Hospital. His professional judgement is so good that I’ve asked him to help me train young clinicians.”
— Susan Palmgren, Ph.D., Associate Clinical Director, Adult Outpatient Department, Department of Psychiatry, Harlem Hospital Center; Private Practice, Upper West Side of Manhattan
“As a divorce lawyer, I work with a lot of people who are over-drinking because their marriages are coming apart. Mark helps me calm them down by teaching me, in plain English, what will work.”
— Stephanie Lehman, J.D., Partner and Head of Matrimonial Law Practice at Hartmann, Doherty, Rosa, Berman & Bulbulia, LLC, New York and New Jersey
“In 2013 Mark and I treated a problem-drinking family together, so I saw with my own eyes how he acts with patients. He’s not one of those silent stone-faced therapists. He asks good questions, makes kind suggestions, gives encouragement. People really like that.”
— Juliana Neiman, LMFT, LMHC, Staff Therapist at Hudson Guild; Private Practice, Upper West Side of Manhattan
“I ran a year-long psychotherapy group with Mark Edison, so I know for a fact that he treats people gently, responsibly and effectively. That hasn’t changed since I met him eleven years ago, so I often ask his advice when I treat a problem drinker.”
— Carole Srinivasan, Ph.D., Former Supervising Psychologist, Columbia University School of Medicine; Private Practice, Upper West Side of Manhattan
“As a psychologist running a business, I know how difficult problem drinking can be in companies. When a CEO of a global industrial firm came to me about a sensitive addiction concern with a senior executive, I referred him to Dr. Edison. He connected with that executive in a way no one had done before and solved the problem. I recommend Dr. Edison without hesitation.”
— Richard Juman, Founder and President, Insight BusinessWorks, Inc.
“Mark Edison practices like an old-fashioned country doctor. He’ll come to your home or the hospital in an emergency and check later to see how you’re doing. How many psychologists in New York City do that?”
— Scott Shapiro, M.D., Former Director of Psychiatry at St. Vincent’s Catholic Medical Center’s Infectious Disease Center; Founder of MilestonesNYC, a free treatment service for low-income New Yorkers; Private Practice, Midtown Manhattan
“After Dr. Edison gave a guest talk in one of my graduate school classes, I hired him to teach a semester-long course on addiction. Students said he’s a careful listener who doesn’t judge them. This is a key talent for psychologists and it’s why I recommend him”
— Denise Hien, Ph.D., ABPP, Professor of Psychology, Derner Institute of Advanced Psychological Studies, Adelphi University and Adjunct Research Scientist, Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons
