is there some kind of treatment where one can associate alcohol or pot with something bad or really aversive?

Question by Laerton: is there some kind of treatment where one can associate alcohol or pot with something bad or really aversive?
For the purposes of quitting it. I’m wondering what the possibilities are. Is hypnosis an option, medication, something similar? Are surgeries available? I’m just curious for the sake of someone I’m close to. Question is merely for educational purposes

I used to be a tweaker ( meth addict if you didnt know what it meant ) it took me close to 4 years to get over it alcohol is along the same line’s Pot is a lot easier but even when you quite and are clean for say a year you will still want it two year you will still want it ive been clean for 6 years now and i still want it …. it truly takes some one who wants to quit to quit you cant force them it will only make them want it more and not be around you…… any good therapist will tell you hypnosis only works on those who want it to work you have to have that state of mind to want it before it can happen usually it takes some one hitting rock bottom before they decide its time to quit because in there head every thing is ok as long as they are drunk or stoned

good luck truly this is my life experience
