Alcohol Addiction

We are all addicted to our way of life. This addiction or repetitive behaviour is only seen or accepted as an addiction if it is detrimental to our health and we are unable to give it up.  An addiction is something you can not stop; it is something you do habitually as part of your life. The fact is that without some addictions in our lives we would find it challenging to survive; it is all a matter of our degree of understanding. Acceptability is all a matter of whether our addictions affect our health or interfere with other people’s health.

We generally only associate addiction with behaviour that is detrimental to health; the most common addiction being Alcohol. The first thing I would like to say is that alcoholism is not a disease … it is an addiction. You can not catch alcoholism. To stop being an alcoholic all you have to do is stop drinking alcohol. To stop being a drug addict all you have to do is stop taking drugs. That is not a disease … that is an addiction … that is a behavioural trait that you have taught yourself to do, and you have trained your mind and body to repeatedly reinforce your behaviour. Unfortunately the behaviour of an alcoholic will always have detrimental effects on the person’s health, and often will influence many other people, especially family and friends.

Alcohol and Drugs affect the Eukaryotic Cells in the brain, influencing consequential thinking. This interference with ‘thinking skills’ creates an illusionary perception of a reality which is already an illusion. Being addicted to anything is not in itself the problem; it is the consequences of being addicted. Alcoholism and Drugs are often associated with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, family breakdowns, crime, illness and death.

So how do you stop being addicted?

At Mind For Life we have a unique programme that has helped many people who were dependent upon alcohol, to quit, changing their lives permanently. The corner-stone of the programme is the Dynamic Thought Transfer Technique TM plus our methods of teaching. We do not have any magic formulas or special powers, we do not tell people how to live their lives …what we do is guide, teach, support, and encourage; if the client fully participates in the programme, then they will develop enthusiasm and curiosity about this Earth Experience, valuing health.  Every person who has fully participated in the programme has created new opportunities in their lives … without exception.
