No one sets out to be a problem drinker or even an alcoholic, it just kinda happens. I know – it happened to me. It’s also happened to a lot of people over the past 12-18 months, as folk found themselves trapped at home. Some people found themselves trapped with their nearest and dearest that they might normally avoid, by going to the office. But the office then became working from home and the daily attire slipped from a ’Suit to PJs’ and a ‘Starbucks became Prosecco’.
Booze became a friend in a crisis and dependency just crept in when least expected, catching even the most normally sensible of people off guard. The result – a newly found alcohol addiction. So, what are you going to do about your little or not so little problem? Be the daily drinker that you thought you’d never be? Or someone that can go back to the occasional drink or blow out and enjoy a glass of wine to relax, without emptying the rest of the bottle?
With November upon us, maybe it’s time to question your relationship with alcohol? Can you live a week or a day or even the next hour without a drink? During November could abstain for a whole month?
Yes – No – Maybe? Do you want to but need help?
How to stop? Well, there are plenty of options available out there but how many of them prevent relapse? Not many if the stats are correct. For some time now I’ve been working discreetly with people that are now well into over 1000+ days of sobriety, even throughout lockdown. How does it work? I’ll put that down to the one-to-one accountability and support that’s provided. It’s not AA, it’s not a self-help Facebook Group – it’s more than that. It’s a life-laundry, a period of self-realisation, a personal system upgrade that delivers a brighter future and best of all, it works…
