Excessive Drinking Impacts on Muscle Loss - Hypnotherapy in Ely and Newmarket
Alcohol can easily creep into your life and become an ever increasing habit. Rather than just enjoying the occasional drink with a nice meal or when socialising, you may have found that your alcohol consumption has just crept up and up. Many people reported that during lockdown their excessive drinking increased, and many have found it difficult to bring that drinking level back down again.
You might find that you look forward to that first glass of wine or beer at the end of the day. It becomes the way of switching off from the busyness of the day and relaxing into the evening. Yet soon that glass or two, or a couple of beers, doesn't seem quite enough and so you finish the bottle (and maybe even break into the second one) or you find that a couple of beers has turned into much more.
Excessive drinking and binge drinking alcohol have an impact on your mental health, as well as your physical health. You may find you feel more sluggish, can't think quite so clearly, that you lack energy and that your mind races if you don't quieten it with booze. You may have tried cutting back or stopping drinking for a while, only to slide back into the same sort of habits and loved ones may have started making the odd reference to how much you drink or that they are concerned (whether you get angry and irritable, or tired and uncommunicative). You get to sleep easily but wake not feeling totally rested. The weariness makes the day more of a struggle and the prospect of a drink to unwind proves an ever greater habitual urge.
For some drinkers, the guilt of hiding their drinking or secret drinking also adds to their stress and misery. You may have lost the joy in your life. And the drinking may also mean you aren't as productive as you want to be and you don't get the things done that you planned. And whether it's the embarrassing situations, the ever growing sense of pointlessness or the worry about your health and well-being, there comes a time when you no longer want to be under the control of your excessive drinking habit.
