Alcohol Abuse Self Help: Women’s Issues

Women have special roles in their families, making self-help for alcohol abuse of the utmost importance. Alcoholics who drink in excess require support to overcome the personal drinking problems. Women typically play the role of caretaker for others. When it comes to a drug addiction like alcoholism, they can guide themselves to overcome the assault of physical withdrawals that may interrupt their efforts with violence.

Impact on Family Members

Alcoholism is very difficult for the woman who has the troublesome addiction, especially because the topic of alcoholic women is not discussed very often. Women’s issues with the condition are quite different from those experienced by males, especially when it concerns how the addiction affects other members of the family.

Mothers who drink in excess may be neglectful to their children. They may have difficulty attending to their children’s needs during the day. If the mother drinks throughout the day, she is unable to focus attention and she may exhibit inappropriate behaviours that are confusing to the child.

Social Problems

There is quite a negative social stigma attached to female drunkenness. The alcoholic woman is more prone to live in denial because she doesn’t want to face the truth about the condition. The drinker is likely to hide her condition as much as she is able and she may continue to deny the problem.

Protecting Loved Ones

Husbands may feel protective of their wives in some cases. This protective denial can be quite strong. The husband may be in denial, avoiding the blatantly obvious signs. This can lead to further confusion in children who are unable to address the issue.

Characteristics of Female Alcoholics

Women who drink in excess share some of the qualities that women who marry alcoholics have. They are likely to come from families in which alcohol was an issue. They may suffer from low self-esteem and they tend to feel excessive guilt and self-disgust.

Excessive Consumption

Alcoholics are not always non-functioning. Many are able to overcome the assault the habit has on their bodies and they never resort to violence while under the influence. However, excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages can have serious ramifications whether the drinking occurs every day or on occasion.

Alcoholism and Personality

A prime indicator that you require guidance to overcome binge drinking is your personality. You may have certain tendencies that include excessive shopping, eating, gambling or other addictive habit. If you easily fall into the realm of addictions in other areas of your life, you may be prone to abusing alcoholic drinks as well.

Habit and Binging

You may think that there is no reason for concern because you drink in excess on occasion. Since the behaviour is not consistent, it may seem as if there is no drinking problem. However, habit does not always relate to a specific behaviour; it can be a way of addressing situations. For example, those who tend to overeat may tend to over drink as well.

Self-Help for Alcohol Abuse

You can begin changing your habits to help overcome binge drinking. Your habits start in your subconscious mind. When you address your patterns of thinking in this realm, you are able to re-pattern your thoughts to form new behaviours.

A Comprehensive Approach

NLP and hypnosis are wonderful options that guide you to develop new patterns of thoughts. The new thought patterns manifest themselves as new behaviours. When you begin working with your subconscious thoughts, you are better able to control the situation.

Self Hypnosis Recordings Can Work To Resolve Alcohol Abuse Problems

Hypnosis recordings are important guides that offer the support you need. Excellent selections include Stop Alcohol Abuse by Duncan McColl and Overcome Alcohol Addiction by Joseph Clough.

Alcohol Abuse Self Help

To view directly on YouTube cick here - Help Stop Binge Drinking

Self-help for alcohol abuse is the most effective support to guide you to overcome binge drinking and other problems related to this kind of drug abuse. Alcoholism is a problem that is often overlooked by alcoholics because many fail to see how damaging their tendency to drink excessively really is.

Changes in Personality

Alcoholics may have significant changes in personality when under the influence; these changes can lead to violence and assault. A drinking problem that results in serious changes in personality is very problematic and it can lead to the loss of relationships and reputation. It can lead to legal problems as well.

Controlling Drinking Problems

The first step to controlling alcoholism is to recognize the problem. Alcoholics often think that their drinking is simply an aspect of their personality. Many can’t imagine forgoing a drink and the notion of giving up the habit is unthinkable even though the desire to stop alcoholism is quite strong. Nevertheless, you do have control. You simply need to recognize this.

Self-Help for Alcohol Abuse

You can overcome alcoholic tendencies by using your mind as a guide. Excessive drinking is little more than a physically addictive habit. You can take matters into your own hands by taking control of your thought processes. This approach works in a few ways.

Breaking Poor Habits

You thought processes are stuck in a rut; this is why you are so deeply submerged in the habit of drinking. Your subconscious mind is one of your greatest assets because this is the centre of habit and automatic responses. Gaining control of this realm provides the guidance you need to overcome addiction.

Overcoming Physical Addiction

Alcohol is physically addictive and this makes the process of quitting abruptly very difficult. You are not only faced with psychological addiction, you also have physical discomfort when you try to quit. Approaches like self-hypnosis and NLP training guide your focus away from the discomfort and on to your recovery.

Visualization

Visualization is a crucial aspect of the recovery process. You can benefit from seeing yourself forgoing alcoholic beverages, envisioning success and contentment. The subconscious mind is a powerful realm that takes your relaxed visualizations and puts them into action. It does this by responding as if you have no desire to drink automatically and without force.

Self Hypnosis Recordings Can Work To Resolve Alcohol Abuse Problems

Your mind is the ideal place to begin your recovery and high quality self-hypnosis recordings provide the guidance and support necessary to assist you as you gain control of your thought processes and habits. Excellent examples include Stop Alcohol Abuse by Duncan McColl and Overcome Alcohol Addiction by Joseph Clough. Both recordings have proven track recordings and come with a full sixty-day guarantee. Stop Binge Drinking is also available in the UK.

Stop Binge Drinking

Self Hypnosis Recordings To Stop Binge Drinking

To view this directly on YouTube click here Stop Binge Drinking

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.
