What is behind the alcohol problem of my new client, and how can we help her?

This indeed is a combination of negative forces, spirit attachment involvement, as a consequence of drinking and as an inducement and exacerbating factor to encourage relapse and indulgence, as well as a karmic history from other lifetimes when imbibing was done to self-soothe, and this led to an undermining in the prior excursions. And so the Law of Karma is bringing this around and reawakening the old energy because it still needs healing. So this will be a good undertaking you are launching on her behalf, to address the problem on all fronts. As you know, there are no guarantees because of the power of free will to still undermine the self if there is a weak moment but, barring that, we see every likelihood this will improve things.
