Understanding alcoholism and its recovery

As an alcohol addict, you can see drinking as a solution to everything. The truth is, no matter how much relief you feel after some few bottles, it never solves anything. What it does, is make you forget your problem for a few hours until the next hangover. The truth is, it does more harm than help. If you’ve reached a point you can’t help drinking, then you are an addict. The only way to get out of this is to seek help. But first of all, you need to recognize that alcohol is a drug. Once you recognize this, it will be easier to help yourself.

Apart from ruining your life, alcohol will harm your physical health. For example, it will interfere with the functionality of your liver. Keep in mind that liver can’t process large amounts of alcohol you drink once. It may also lead to complications such as high blood pressure and lowered immune system.

If you take alcohol for a long time, you’ll also develop issues related to cognitive function. Drinking too much alcohol may result in the hardship of controlling your emotions. Some visible signs will include, anger and impulsiveness.

For a person who drinks on occasions, it will be hard for him or her to recognize that he or she is an addict. The only way to save yourself is to know whether you are a social drinker or a problem drinker. If you are a social drinker, you will drink maybe one or two drinks while enjoying an occasion.  A problem drinker will have to drink up to six drinks on one occasion because he or she can’t control it.

What makes them different is that a problem drinker will consume alcohol to get some physical and psychological relief. On the other hand, a social drinker will take it to get some feeling of relaxation especially after some hard task or during an occasion. Unlike a problem drinker, he or she won’t drink it each and every weekend or whenever he or she has the urge. If you are a drinker who can’t say no to alcohol whenever you come across it or feels that you need it, then it is a problem that requires an action to be taken.

How to overcome alcohol addiction with self-hypnosis

First of all, accept it is a problem. Then assume it is a bad habit that you need to change. Keep in mind that there will be withdrawal symptoms. The good news is, they won’t last provided you stick to your new plan of letting go.

With hypnosis, you will see your drinking habit as a separate object that you can let go whenever you need to. You just need to assume it isn’t related to you in any way and work towards breaking the bond that brings you together.

The final word

Stopping alcohol addiction starts with you. You must accept it is a problem that needs a solution. You can then proceed with the self-hypnosis, where you picture it as an object that isn’t a part of you. By doing this whenever you feel the urge to drink, you will be able to control your cravings most of the times, and before you know it, you won’t be drinking too much.
