If You Drink More Than You Think You Should
If you binge drink, either beer or spirits, or find it difficultto cut down, hypnotherapy can help you become in control ofyourself again.
There are techniques in hypnotherapy that change the thoughtprocess. This helps the mind move from the thought of drinkingto excess, to the though of just having a moderate amount, andactually staying in control of yourself.
Hypnotherapy can help you find out why you are drinking heavily,and work on the issues.
People with alcohol problems often need help with their selfesteem and confidence building, and rely more and more onalcohol to help them through difficult times.
Some people binge drink deliberately. Many, however, findthemselves caught in patterns of thinking and behaviour theywould rather change, some find themselves drinking to excessafter having begun with the intention of just having one or twodrinks. Just another little tipple, and then of course they getout of control.
Substance or alcohol abuse are often used by those who are shyor have social anxiety – they find that a drink can alleviatesome of their anxiety, and often alcohol is readily available
inthe social situations most feared. Drink also blocks out thepain of isolation and rejection, perceived or real.
So what problem do you deal with first?
Hypnotherapy can help with both binge drinking and anxiety – itis usually best to start with the alcohol problem first as it isdifficult to help someone with social anxiety if they are stillabusing alcohol or other drugs. Liquor and drugs cloud judgementand perceptions, making any type of psychotherapy more difficult.
The first stage of addiction is the more a person drinks, thebetter they feel, their mood improves, and they can escape intoa fantasy world, leaving behind worries and anxieties.
They then build their life around the addiction, needingincreasingly intoxicating drinks, becoming out of control withtheir behaviour, they need that drink, and if they cannot getit, they are constantly thinking about it.
The Destructive Phase
The next stage is, their mood changes for the worst, theybelieve that nothing is ever their fault, and everything wouldbe alright if they were just left alone, they become moody anddifficult.
Becoming dependent on alcohol can lead to loss of jobs, loss ofrelationships, health problems, depression, financial problemsand much more. No one who starts using drugs or alcohol intendsto do destructive things to themselves and others, and no oneintends to become addicted, but it happens.
If you feel you are dependant on alcohol and want to change, youprobably need a variety of approaches and strategies -hypnotherapy is a highly effective treatment approach.
