Alcohol
is the most commonly used substance in the world. People who are addicted to
alcohol face many health issues. Quitting alcohol is not easy for them. They
require proper treatment for it. Rehabilitation centre in Kolkata is best to get rid of alcohol addiction and other drug
addictions. The alcohol addiction can be treated with the help of therapists,
doctors, friends, peers and family members. There are numerous methods for
treating alcoholism. One of the best method for treating alcoholism is individual
counselling. There are different ways of individual counselling which are given
as:
Discovering the causes of addiction: In the counselling method of treatment, Alcohol rehabilitation centre in Kolkata
find the major causes of the addiction. They find the reason due to which they
started using alcohol and how they enhanced their physical dependency on the
substance.
Strategies for avoidance: To get rid of alcohol addiction, avoidance is
the best strategy. Clubs, bars and other places where drinking is encouraged
should be avoided by the people. By staying away from such places, alcoholics
can avoid the use of alcohol.
Learning to cope with addiction: It is the best option to cope during rehab when
other people are drinking around alcoholics. Moderate drinking is right during
healthy and happy environments. So, they should not completely avoid birthdays,
weddings and special events.
Treating co-occurring conditions: Most of
the alcoholics suffer from mental illnesses. Mental illness contributes to the
existence of addictions. Mental illness includes anxiety and depression. Thus, De addiction centre in Kolkata prefers
the treatment for such conditions. Counselling and medication are essential for
addicts to manage mental issues.
Like many people, at the start of the year, I made a resolution to decrease my alcohol intake.
ReplyDeleteDrink Less in Seven Days by Georgia Foster has really helped me stick to this resolution. Georgia is a clinical hypnotherapist and alongside the written version of the book, there are also 4 "Hypnosis Hub" recordings that readers are encouraged to access to help them with the program.
One of the great things about Drink Less in Seven Days is that Georgia (and I"m going to call her Georgia because she kind of feels like a friend) is totally non-judgemental about how much you drink, why you drink, why you feel you drink too much etc. I feel that this is an area where people carry a lot of shame and negative feelings and to have someone who approaches an emotional issue like this with absolute objectivity is helpful in driving the desired behaviours. She's on your side!
There are two main parts to Drink Less in Seven Days. The first is how your amygdala (the part of your brain that deals with emotions and fear/stress responses) can actually work against your efforts to quit or reduce your drinking. It shows you how to move your decision to drink away from this very instinctive part of your brain to your prefrontal cortex which is the part of your brain that is more concerned with considered decision-making.
I found this part of the book fascinating, particularly the parts where she spoke about silencing your inner critic.
However, it was the second part of the book, where Georgia broke down different personality types. what triggers them to drink and how to circumvent these triggers that I found most useful. (Also fascinating, if like me you love a good theory of behaviour and the ability to proclaim "Yes!!!! That's me!"). Because it makes total sense right? If you drink out of social anxiety (which is me a little bit) your methods to success will likely be different to someone who drinks because everyone around you is (also me a little bit).
The biggest take away for me was starting to understand what triggers my wanting to drink and learning alternative strategies should I decide not to. I think a really important thing about Drink Less in Seven Days is that it is NOT about quitting drinking altogether. It is about cutting down to a level that you are comfortable with, whatever that is for you. And this feels more manageable than quitting altogether.
The cru of this type of book though is does it work?
So here's the real deal. I started this program in January. It's now March and I can count the times I have drunk alcohol on one hand. During this time I have been to pubs, bars and restaurants, entertained at home and been entertained at other people's homes so it's not like I have been hiding myself away. I have been around alcohol and people drinking as much as I ever was.
Will I drink again? Almost definitely. For me, this experiment was never about giving up altogether. And I have far too much fun making cocktails for this to give it up completely! However, I feel that moving forward I will be able to drink in a more mindful considered way.
Thank you to Georgia Foster for a thoroughly fascinating book that does exactly what it says on the cover!
