Showing results for "Control" in Alcoholism

Millions of people worry that drinking is affecting their health, yet are unwilling to seek change because of the misery and stigma associated with alcoholism and recovery. They fear drinking less will be boring, difficult and involve deprivation, and significant lifestyle changes. This Naked Mind offers a new solution. Packed with surprising insight into the reasons we drink, it will open your eyes to the startling role of alcohol in our culture.

Listen to this audiobook and become a happy non-drinker for the rest of your life. Feeling reliant on alcohol can be a difficult thing to come to terms with and even trickier to manage. This audiobook will cut through all that stress and set you on the right track with Allen Carr’s Easyway method. Allen Carr established himself as the world’s greatest authority on quitting smoking. His ground-breaking methodology tackles addiction from an entirely different angle which has been successfully applied to other addictions and behavioural issues.

Two habits. One root cause. One system to end them both — using the hours you already spend asleep. You've probably tried to quit smoking, or cut back on drinking, or both, using the same tool every time: willpower. And it probably worked, for a while, until stress or just an ordinary Friday quietly pulled you back. That's not a character flaw. The part of your brain that makes resolutions and the part that reaches for a cigarette or pours a third drink are not the same part, and no amount of wanting it badly enough closes that gap.

Here, Dr. Lawrence Peltz, who has worked as an addiction psychiatrist for more than two decades, draws from his clinical experience and on the techniques of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) to explain the fundamental dynamics of addiction and the stages of the recovery process, and also gives us specific mindfulness exercises to support recovery.

Alcohol told you it was your friend. It lied. It promised to relax you, reward you, take the edge off another brutal day. So you believed it, the way millions of smart, capable people believe it every single night. Then the friend turned. The morning dread crept in. The broken promises to cut down. The quiet maths about how much you really drank last week. Here is what the drinks industry spends billions making sure you never work out. You are not weak. You do not lack willpower. You were sold a lie so convincing that quitting felt like losing something, instead of escaping it.

It's not that you don't want to stop. It's that the part of you that wants to stop can't reach the part of you that keeps pouring. You're not what people picture when they hear the word "alcoholic." You hold your job together, show up for the people you love, function. But there's a private loop running underneath all of it — the promise to cut back, the third drink you said you wouldn't have, the version of yourself you keep meaning to become.
