Lockdown and Alcohol
Have we been drinking more?
Hypnosis is an effective approach in dealing with the problems that excess alcohol can lead to - issues with relationships, weight, and health.
Alcohol sales rose by 67% just prior to the first 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? The Cognisity Reduce Alcohol hypnosis program will help.
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.
