Regarding alcohol dependence, I will also share from my experience; I signed up a relative who has this problem. At the first Puja, nothing happened, at the second he started listening to his wife and drinking less, only beer on weekends. After the third Puja, he had the desire to quit smoking and started to have a different attitude towards alcohol; if his wife said no, then he doesn't drink. Before, he would say to his wife: Who are you to tell me what to do?...
