The Affective Liminal Programming (ALP) methodology, conceptualized and articulated as a Practitioner's Theory, owes its genesis to Annie Grace's seminal work on alcohol addiction.

Given the recognized challenges associated with overcoming alcohol addiction, the efficacy of ALP becomes particularly notable. As this approach continues to diversify across a range of behavioral domains, its foundation remains deeply rooted in its initial application to alcohol addiction.

Currently, the most comprehensive and compelling evidence supporting ALP's impact emerges from personal narratives. These accounts depict individuals who, guided by Annie Grace's innovative approach and with ALP serving as an implicit framework, have successfully attained liberation from alcohol dependence.
