Excess alcohol consumption, whether we like the term or not, is just another form of addiction. Any addiction over time begins to affect our health, our relationships, mental health, working life and overall well-being.
What may have started as the odd glass of wine or beer at the weekend gradually increases over time until drinking becomes a habit. You find yourself having a glass during the week because you had a “stressful day”. More and more you realise you can drink more each time you go out, without the effects kicking in too quickly.
Understanding the challenge
Many individuals face immense pressure in social situations where alcohol is prevalent. Whether it’s networking events, social gatherings, or even family occasions, the expectation to drink can be overwhelming. Additionally, alcohol is often seen as a coping mechanism for stress, providing temporary relief from life’s challenges.
Unfortunately, the after effects of drinking become increasingly challenging, the hangovers the next day, the guilt, the anxiety of what you said or did, and those same people you will need to face again. Not to mention the lack of energy and the inclination to get up and do things with family and friends.
The Difficulty in Moderation and Quitting
For many, reducing, moderating, or quitting alcohol proves to be a daunting task. Commonly it is the lack of an “off switch” when the night is going well, even though you know you are at the tipping point, is a common struggle. Traditional methods of quitting, such as willpower alone or support groups, may not always give you the results you are looking for.
The Power of Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool to help in reframing the subconscious mind. Hypnosis can help you with the control needed to manage that “off switch,” enabling you to regain a better, more healthy relationship with alcohol. It is important to address the, often many, underlying reasons that drive your current relationship and behaviours with alcohol, whether it’s stress, anxiety, or other emotional triggers, hypnotherapy offers a holistic approach to lasting change.
