Unfortunately the freedom that these people experience is achieved artificially and it cannot be permanent. And this is what I have seen with my father. Once his body has been detoxified in hospital from excess of alcohol and he has been given nutrients and his body got stronger, the mind consciousness system was restarting and taking over his body again and the freedom was taken away again.
Obviously this is very confusing for the person but because the person is back to the state of the mind to which he is accustomed and he thinks is normal and thus he will look at the other thing about the freedom as a fairy story and wishful thinking. And of course it is easy to believe the first option because the person has been under extreme stress and on the edge of dying and the doctors, friends and family strengthen this belief within that person.
Now... this person will accept that the normal state of the mind is the normality and he will try to suppress with logic and try to forget about the other experience of being free. But because it is impossible to forget about it completely and infinitely, then the person will enter into the state of internal fight, which will create a lot of emotional turbulences, friction and stress and when it all becomes too overwhelming, in the end this person will try again to achieve this freedom by drinking alcohol. But in most cases this is not being done consciously and instead the person will find some excuses to get drunk. And maybe this person will be able to achieve it again but this is a dangerous method and apart from this it doesn't give permanent results.
Thus what is the solution to it ?
If it is possible to be free for short moment with the use of alcohol, drugs or other substances then there must be also a way to get there in a way which gives permanent result. This is logical but unfortunately very few people understand it and they get lost in the addiction and eventually they die or become crazy. And again the logic says that to get to the state of being free we must learn how to remove the mind consciousness system and then we can be free permanently without putting at risk the body and creating many other negative consequences for many people if not the whole world.
And where and who can teach us about how to free ourselves from the prison of the mind ?
I would recommend the method proposed by the Desteni Group which offers a special course ( Desteni I Process ), which shows the techniques on how to deal with this matter effectively. Although this method is slow and rather difficult, it will give you permanent results and will not put your body at the risk of death which it the case with the alcohol or any other substances.
