It’s exacerbating the very thing we’re trying to forget or numb with drinking in the first place. That’s why so many people are struggling with alcoholism. But, why is it so hard to stop drinking alcohol? 

• • Alcohol is legal and socially acceptable, which makes it easy to obtain and easy to justify drinking.

• • Your brain has come to rely on alcohol. When you drink alcohol, it releases dopamine, which makes you feel good. 

• • Chasing certain emotions: Over time, your brain begins to believe that it needs alcohol to feel good, relaxed or confident, and it is forming a loop pattern itself as a bad habit.

• • High tolerance in the body:  When someone drinks alcohol regularly, their body becomes used to the presence of alcohol in their system and has developed high tolerance. 
  • Withdrawal symptoms: Withdrawal symptoms make it difficult to stop drinking alcohol. They can include anxiety, shaking, sweating, nausea, and vomiting. In severe cases, they can even include seizures or hallucinations.

Here, the important part is to know that you are not alone, and you don’t need to hit rock bottom to seek help. You can reach out for help any time, so end your struggles and try hypnosis for alcoholism to rewire your brain for sobriety.
