A Wife’s Testimonial

“My husband is an alcoholic. He is many things: a son, a brother, a friend, and a husband. First and foremost, he is an alcoholic. If you are reading this, then you too are struggling with a loved one who may be an addict or alcoholic! Perhaps you, yourself, are an addict or alcoholic? If so, keep reading because there is hope. I was at my wits end, contemplating divorce, struggling to survive under my husband’s battle with alcoholism. I feared for his life and mine. Then came the recommendation of the POI Ibogaine Institute. This idea was proposed by a family friend and my first instinct was “no way.” How am I supposed to send my alcoholic husband, who can barely get out of bed and who is suffering mentally and physically to this alternative, holistic treatment in Mexico? Well with a little encouragement and naturally, some arguing, my husband, Kevin agreed. I knew Kevin deep down wanted help but was overwhelmed by the thought of getting it. Diane and George eased his anxiety with the prospect of relieving Kevin of his need and desire of alcohol that at this point, were causing seizures and severe liver damage. The arrangements were made and Kevin landed in Mexico and the transformation began. One by one his habits disappeared. His diet for the first time was customized to his specific health needs. Surrounded by love and beauty he could finally feel the weight of his alcoholism lifting. He felt good! Kevin’s entire demeanor changed, he no longer was defensive and combative. He realized his actions had consequences that not only affected himself but also those around him. The Ibogaine treatment took Kevin on a journey in a dream-like state where he confronted trauma that plagued him, loss that he needed to grieve, questions he could not answer, and love he thought was lost. I was updated the entire time as to his progress and I anxiously waited for his call. When the call came, it was like a dream. I could hear the difference in him! He appeared to be the man I had fallen in love with and the son his parents so longed for. I can’t say enough for all that Diane and George and the staff at POI did for my husband, for myself, and my in-laws. As the wife of an alcoholic, I highly recommend Ibogaine treatment at the POI Institute. I have my husband back and he has taken his next step in continuing his sobriety journey. ”
