Alcohol Reduction Help – Hypnotherapy in Ely and Newmarket
Are you struggling with successful alcohol reduction? Alcohol can shift from something that helps you to relax and enjoy yourself, into something that creeps into your daily habits. Rather that being able to take it or leave it, or to have the one and stop, you find yourself binge drinking and over drinking. Alcohol can take control over your habits and have negative impacts upon your health, well-being, focus, work, relationships and self-esteem.
Many people enjoy a drink. It may be that you drink mainly socially and perhaps you enjoy a nice glass of wine with a meal. But if you drink too much when you drink, or you find that you secretly drink or drink despite your best intentions not too, then your alcohol consumption can become a problem. Maybe you embarrass yourself and have to suffer the embarrassment and shame after drinking too much. It may be that your drinking steals away your motivation and focus and you become unproductive in your life. And alcohol can lead to arguments, friction, guilt and shame.
You may have found that your alcohol reduction is successful for short periods of time. With focus, motivation and willpower you can cut down or stop for a while. Yet those habitual thoughts, feelings and drinking behaviours start to creep back in. You start to justify it to yourself that it’s okay to have one or two. In no time at all you are back drinking as much as ever and the same old problems come back to the fore.
Cutting down with willpower alone is hard. You are effectively trying to force yourself to reduce how much you drink. After a pain point, like an alcohol related embarrassment or argument, your resolve and motivation are strong. The freshness of what has happened can keep you on track. Over time that pain lessens. Your limited resources of willpower weaken and the call of the booze intensifies. This is where hypnotherapy can help you to change your habitual patterns around alcohol.
