Many of us have used alcohol as our go-to treat over the past couple of years - something we can enjoy even in the ups and downs of all the uncertainty.
Alcohol sales have risen significantly since the outbreak of the pandemic and research suggests that around 8.6 million UK adults have drunk alcohol more frequently during the pandemic.
Worryingly, nearly 18% of daily drinkers have increased the amount of alcohol they consume and the effects of drinking more alcohol could be felt for a generation, some experts warn.
Why does it matter?
Alcohol intake - and its management - is particularly important for well-being & mental health during this pandemic.
In a survey 7% of respondents felt that alcohol had worsened their household tensions since lockdown.
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.
My Reduce Alcohol hypnosis program will help.
Hypnosis is an effective approach in dealing with the problems that excess alcohol can lead to - issues with relationships, weight and health.
In particular, it will enable you to adapt, change and to look at alcohol intake in a completely new way.
Hypnosis will help you realise that alcohol is not essential to relaxation, and is not necessary as a crutch or coping mechanism.
