When it is time to stop binge drinking, it's time to deal with the physical and emotional issues that lead to the alcohol abuse.
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism reports that binge drinking is not just a college student problem.
Over 70% of binge drinkers in the USA are over 25 years old.
Binge drinking is when there is heavy consumption of alcohol over a relatively short period of time or on a single occasion.
People define "heavy" drinking differently based on how they think their body can handle alcohol.
Normally a woman who drinks more than 3 drinks at one sitting and a man who drinks more than 4 drinks is considered to be binge drinking.
One sitting is about 2 hours.
Binge Drinking Is Alcoholism Disguised People who binge drink often don't realize they are abusing alcohol.
"What's a few drinks among friends?" as the saying goes.
But the reality is that binge drinking is a form of alcoholism that can lead to serious problems in a person's life.
Binge drinkers often drink at parties or restaurants and that means they are driving while under the influence of alcohol.
Sometimes binge drinking eventually leads to regular heavy drinking.
Binge drinking can also result in people making poor decisions while drunk such as having unprotected sex.
The Body and Binge Drinking There is a definite relationship between binge drinking and numerous health problems.
Excessive alcohol consumption on a regular basis can lead to an increased chance of developing high blood pressure or liver disease.
If you don't stop binge drinking, over a period of time there is a greater chance of causing neurological damage or having a stroke.
This doesn't even take into consideration the number of injuries associated with lack of physical control due to the consumption of too much alcohol.
Change Thought Patterns to Stop Binge Drinking The good news is that if you are ready to stop binge drinking the use of self hypnosis offers the ideal method of instituting behavioral changes.
Binge drinking can be a habit and an addiction at the same time.
A habit is when there is a thoughtless and automatic reaction to a particular set of circumstances that was developed through repetition.
For example, you may always drink too much when you meet your friends at the local restaurant on Friday evenings.
If you are a college student, you might regularly binge drink when you go to the local pub with your friends.
An addiction is when you have a dependence on the use of alcohol that is either physical, psychological or both.
Intervening in the Thought Patterns When you want to stop binge drinking it is necessary to change the automatic responses to situations or circumstances and to eliminate the dependence.
This requires a change in thinking patterns so that you make conscious decisions.
With self hypnosis you are able to listen to recordings at your convenience that focus on intervening in the thoughtless psychological processes that lead to habitual binge drinking.
Changing Expectations If you have binge drinking problems, self hypnosis can teach you how to control your thinking so that the habit of excessive drinking is broken.
You change your behavior by changing the way you think.
You stop binge drinking by creating goals while in a state of relaxation and these goals involve changing your expectations when confronted with the typical situations in your life that lead to binge drinking.
Instead of expecting to over drink, you learn to expect to control your behavior and to stop binge drinking.
