Do you worry about your relationship with alcohol? Are you dependent on it? Could you actually stop? Mindful drinking with hypnotherapy could help you.

I was reading an article in the Times today with the headline…

“Pandemic wine o’clock and the deadly price we may pay.”

Two recent studies have presented a stark picture – one by the IAS (Institute of Alcohol Studies) suggested that if drinking does not go back to pre-pandemic levels that there could be 10,000 additional premature deaths by 2035. The University of Sheffield’s findings (funded by the NHS) suggested a worst-case scenario where there would be 25,000 additional deaths over 20 years and 972,000 additional hospital admissions due to alcohol related diseases.

This makes for pretty grim reading and, it is not something we tend to think about as we sit in the garden with a glass of wine after work. But how early do you open the wine? Is it every day? How much of it do you drink? Is it affecting your health? How is the quality of your sleep? Are you putting on weight?

The pandemic created stress, anxiety and boredom – which led to an increase in mental health concerns which led to a spike in addictive behaviours. People were working from home and starting to drink earlier than they would normally. There has been a permanent shift towards drinking at home as a result and, although there hasn’t been a lockdown for more than a year, those drinking patterns haven’t changed.

Mindful drinking with hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy can help you to understand the emotional factor with alcohol and to re-set.

When we consciously decide to cut down on drinking or stop, it is very hard to maintain because the subconscious part of our mind actually thinks the opposite. This part of our brain associates the high we get from the sugar in alcohol with survival, which is why we prioritise it.

With hypnotherapy, we re-program your subconscious with a preferred, measured and mindful response. Mindful drinking with hypnotherapy, will help you to release limiting beliefs and learned behaviours for good. You will then be able to re-gain control and enjoy good health.

So if any of this resonates with you and you would like more information on my 4-week online Mindful Drinking programme, then do please get in touch.
