As long as there has been alcohol, there has been binge drinking.

Think of the Vikings...

These days though, binge drinking problems seem to get more and more news coverage, and binge drinking amongst the world’s youth seems to be on the increase.

Why do people binge drink?

Well there are a whole host of reasons. For some it is peer pressure, for others alcohol takes the edge of social anxiety. I guess some people just like getting drunk. I know I used to binge drink from time to time when I was younger (much younger, it would kill me now...)

Binge drinking is a habit

Humans seem to love habits. Because your mind would be consciously overloaded if you had to cognitively process every tiny thing you did (which muscles do I use to lift up my arm, how do I focus my eyes to look at that mountain, etc), your mind makes patterns, and learns habits. These habits run like automated programs in the mind, so that people tend to have the same kinds of worries in the same kinds of ways, have the same kinds of hopes about the same kinds of things, and so forth.

Binge drinking thinking

If you were to ask a serial binge drinker, say someone who always gets hopelessly drunk on Saturday night, something like ‘Hey Dave, what are you planning to do next Saturday?’ You would almost certainly get one of more for the flowing types of answer...

‘I am looking forward to Saturday and getting really drunk’ (loaded, pissed up, obliterated – the English language has literally hundreds of words to describe inebriation) Or ‘I haven’t really given it much thought, I expect I will go out, have a load to drink and have a good time as usual’ Or ‘Ah, I am hoping not to get too drunk on Saturday, if I do it again my wife (partner, lover, boyfriend, sister, mother, father, dog, whoever) will be really angry if I get drunk again’.’ Or ‘I am glad you asked me that because this coming Saturday I am hoping I can control myself and not get hopelessly drunk like I usually do.’ Or ‘You know I am getting really worried about my drinking and health, I seem to always get drunk these days.’

Now, what is the common factor in all of the above answers? The answer is thinking about ‘drinking too much’. The person will inevitably look forward to it, hope they can control it, expect to do it, or worry about it. In each case the person has the thought of drinking too much in their mind.

How self hypnosis can stop binge drinking problems

What good self hypnosis recordings will do is repatterns these thoughts for you so that you begin to look forward to drinking moderately (if that is what you wish to do). It is the act of thinking about what you ARE going to do that influences you to change. The act of thinking about what you don’t want to do still involves thinking about what you don’t want to do. Where you have been isn’t important, where you are going is.

NLP recordings to help stop binge drinking

Some recordings have NLP exercises as well as relaxing self hypnosis tracks. One such is Debbie Williams’ new Stop Binge Drinking, which does both. Good self hypnosis authors tend to guarantee their work, and Debbie’s recordings come with a full 60 day money back guarantee.

The importance of persistence

Yes, sometimes someone will listen to a self hypnosis recording once and something wonderful will go ‘click’ in their mind and they will make a magnificent and marvellous change in their thinking there and then. Actually, this happens quite frequently, just ask any experienced hypnotherapist. Usually, however, it takes multiple ‘listenings’ to make a difference. It’s not exactly difficult to press ‘play’ in an mp3 player or cd player by the bed just before you drift off to sleep, though.

Stop Binge Drinking is also available from the UK.
