Beating alcohol addiction

A guest article by Derek McEwan

Drinking is a large part of day to day life for a lot of people and many can enjoy an occasional glass of wine or a night out with a few friends. At times however you may feel that the consumption of alcohol has taken over and you may begin to realise that the occasional drink has become a habit.

Drinking socially is not a bad thing unless you find yourself craving that next pint or bottle. At times you may even find yourself spending all of your hard earned money on bottles you can’t really afford to buy.There is help however that comes in many forms, there are meetings you can attend, groups you can join and you can also seek the help of a therapist. There are many different types of therapy available to aid in the assistance of curbing your alcohol problems, one of the most effective is hypnotherapy. A 2004 study by the American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis showed a 77% success rate for hypnosis to treat alcohol abuse.

Hypnotherapy is an approved practice which involves the planting of suggestions to your subconscious which aid you in making healthy decisions about your life. Unlike the hypnosis you may have seen on television, hypnotherapy cannot make you do things you do not already have the desire to do. The will to give up or even just cut down on your alcohol intake must already be there.

Hypnotherapy can be a daunting prospect for a lot of people but there really is nothing to be afraid of. There are a lot of highly skilled and fully trained hypnotherapists available all over the world.

There is no magical cure for addictions of any kind but through hypnotherapy your mind can be trained through willpower and subtle suggestion that you don’t need the addiction to make your life better.

Andrew Johnson is a fully qualified Hypnotherapist who has a variety of hypnotherapy CD’s and Mp3’s available online and through the I-tunes store. So if you have a busy schedule or are perhaps wary of going to see a Hypnotherapist you can instead download or send off for the help you require. Just relax and remember you are in control of your life. Your life doesn’t have to control you!
