With a new year ahead of us, most people are in the mindset of committing to brand-new new year’s resolutions that would help them achieve their goals. In most cases, such resolutions relate to personal health and fitness, as some commit to a workout programme and others commit to a healthier diet. If you are looking for a feasible way to commit to overcoming alcoholism in the new year, Beethoven Recovery Centre offers a comprehensive alcohol therapy programme for those who are willing to face their addiction and conquer it for good.
The path to sober living wellness sounds like a punishment for someone who is actively consuming alcoholic beverages. This is why we only admit people on a voluntary basis to our alcohol therapy programme. We want to help individuals who want to help themselves to overcome such an addiction. Today, we talk about the underlying mental and physical aspects of alcohol addiction and how you can get back to a life of sobriety.
Mental and Physical Aspects of Alcohol Addiction
- Overriding Your Consciousness: Alcoholics tend to make rash and sporadic decisions when an opportunity to consume alcoholic beverages arises. This is because of their physical dependence to alcohol, affecting their mental awareness to feed their addiction. An excellent example of this is people who overconsume alcoholic beverages within professional settings. Although it is accepted and allowed to consume such beverages during social gatherings at work, addicts will seize the moment and overindulge, without any care in the world. This also applies to any other setting – whether social or private – where alcohol is served.
- Unaware of Your Bodily Dependence: Most alcoholics scuff at the idea of being addicts, as they convince themselves that they can stop any time that they want to. This is an easy out and should immediately be tested when someone makes such a claim. Challenge that individual to stop immediately with their alcohol consumption and see how long they can hold out. In only rare cases, individuals will have the mental capacity to get themselves back on track and free from their addiction. However, the majority offers false claims, as they do not possess the means to face and overcome their addiction on their own. This is where our alcohol therapy programme comes into the picture as a feasible solution.
- Living a Delusion: Addicts tend to hang on to something that justifies their addiction. However, they will not admit that they are addicts because of their “sound and grounded reasoning” why they consume and overindulge in alcoholic beverages. Such an addiction can stem from a plethora of sources, whether such sources are traumatic experiences, peer pressure, or genetically related. These sources will serve as a justification for individuals and the people around them, always referring to that specific reason when someone asks about why the individual in question is consuming so much alcohol. In most cases, such an individual has convinced their friends and family that they are completely justified in such actions, to a point where their friends and family have bought into their delusion and let them be. This is dangerous territory, as alcoholism can be fatal and cause a myriad of chronic issues and medical conditions.
- Overcoming Alcohol Addiction: There is nothing that cannot be achieved when you put your mind towards it and find a way to overcome the proverbial mountain that lies in front of you. To face one’s addiction is tough, and most fail when trying.
