YOUR PATHWAY TO HEALTH

Have we been drinking more?

• Let’s look at the effects in particular in Britain, they are drinking more alcohol during the COVID-19 lockdown, this could be felt for a generation, some experts have warned.
• Alcohol sales rose by 67% just prior to the lockdown, as many prepared to drink at home.
• The question remained, however – were people stocking up because they feared shortages? 
• Or were they actually drinking more?
• The research suggests that around 8.6 million UK adults have drunk alcohol more frequently under lockdown.
• Worryingly, nearly one in five (18%) daily drinkers have further increased the amount of alcohol they have consumed since lockdown.
• Why does it matter?
• Habits are formed quickly and can be hard to break.

Alcohol intake - and its management - is particularly important for well-being and mental health during this pandemic and there are also risks beyond the individual. 

• One in 14 (7%) survey respondents felt that alcohol had worsened their household tensions since lockdown began.
• Unfortunately, whilst alcohol can help us relax and give us a brief feeling of euphoria, the effects are short-lived and the long-term negative consequences of over-using alcohol can be harmful.
• If you rely on alcohol to manage your mental health issues, that reliance can itself become a problem. 
• You may well find that your drinking gets in the way of other activities and puts a strain on your relationships and your work.
• While some will find that cutting down without support is possible, others will need assistance.

What Can You Do About It?

• If your drinking has become a habit, it’s worth remembering that drinking is merely a mental “program” - you have “programmed” yourself to drink alcohol in just the same way that you have programmed yourself to ride a bicycle.
  

• These mental programs can be re-set and re-written. Hypnosis is an effective approach in dealing with the problems that excess alcohol can lead to - issues with relationships, weight and health. 
  

• It will identify those areas and aspects of your life that may require tweaks and modification. 
  

• In particular, it will enable you to adapt, change and to look at alcohol intake in a completely new way. 
  

• Hypnosis will help you realise that alcohol is not essential to relaxation, and is not necessary as a crutch or coping mechanism.
