for Excessive Drinking / Alcohol Abuse? One adult in thirteen is dependant on alcohol, in this country. Second to smoking, alcohol is responsible for the deaths of more people in this country than any other drug; over one in six road accidents, a quarter of work accidents, over a quarter of drownings and over a third of fire deaths are the result of the consumption of alcohol. Alcohol dependency is not the preserve of the middle aged; one third of internet enquiries to a well known help group are from younger people. Most alcohol related deaths occur on Mondays, after weekend binge-drinking. In Russia, two thirds of men die drunk. A national survey in America showed that over one in six fourteen year olds binge drink. Throughout the UK and the rest of Europe, the average number of fifteen year olds regularly getting drunk varies around fifty percent. Over forty percent of people who start drinking in their early teens become a lifetime dependant on alcohol. Alcohol dependence wrecks the human body, leading to a whole list of problems: weakness in the immune system, infections, memory disorders, high blood pressure, poor nutrition, disorder throughout the whole digestive system, infertility, hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver, walking and balance problems, weak bones and muscles - including the heart, blood clotting problems and anaemia, pancreas problems, high blood fat content and low blood sugar content. It often also leads to depression and all the problems that brings. If you think you have an alcohol problem, see if you catch your reflection in any of the following. Your first experiences of alcohol will probably have been at times when it was a grown up thing and not for you; you may have wondered what it was like - and what it was like to be drunk. Alcohol was prohibited but inviting. At sometime, during your teen years, you almost certainly had your first meeting with alcohol and then became accustomed to its friendly touch; it helped you feel and do things that you normally couldn't or didn't do. In the excitement of all this, you didn't notice that it also stopped you feeling or doing things that you normally could or did do. Gradually, alcohol's friendly touch became a warm embrace; when you were without it, something felt missing, it was something you would rather not be without. A time came when you couldn't understand other people who didn't get the same enjoyment as you did, from alcohol. You couldn't see anything wrong and also couldn't see the point of only having a little; you had to get blasted. Somewhere, inside, a dying voice was giving its last cry; something about it all being for the sake of the alcohol and being as drunk as you could get and not for anything that the alcohol was giving to you. You heard that voice but washed it away with more drink. By the time that voice died, the embrace had turned into a grip that was so strong it would hold you for the rest of your life if you didn't have help to break it. This grip would turn you and drive you to do things that would strain your home life, your work life and your social life. As it drove you further, some aspects of your life would not be able to withstand the strain; a break-up at home, warnings and eventual loss of job, loss of friends, loss of driving licence and so on would be in your wake. If it didn't kill you, it would make a physical and emotional wreck out of you, deleting you from the normal plane of existence. Self respect didn't matter, it was already gone - submerged and out of sight, like the rest of the real you. Nothing mattered, you had been taken over; your real life was out of the picture and you now started to affect other people's lives, with or without knowing it, to keep the runaway train barrelling on down the hill. You would either crash or the law would stop you - by bringing you to a crashing halt. If you tried to stop, you couldn't. If you went to your doctor or a self-help group, it didn't work for you. If you still had any friends and they tried to help, they just annoyed you. You were labelled an alcoholic and told that this brand would last for the rest of your life. Nobody understood. Nobody knew that it was not about the need for alcohol but about the reason for that need; not about how to get you to stop but about what makes you do it. A glass of drink cannot make you drink itself, too many glasses of drink cannot make you drink themselves. Nobody stands by you with a gun to your head and you are not a robot which has been programmed; the reason you do anything comes from within. Nobody understood and nor did you. Mark does. He understands that you are driven to alcohol abuse by something you are unaware of and therefore unable to fight; something hidden in your subconscious. He knows where to find it and how to take you there; and that once you are there, your new understanding will bring about the dissolution of the cause of your problem. Within weeks you will begin to regain control of your life and you will be amazed at how easy it is. It's difficult to admit you have a problem; the most difficult step is admitting it to yourself. There will be uncertainty and uneasiness attached to seeking help and worry over how successful that help will be. Instead of just trying to get you to stop, Mark can guide you in your discovery of the reason for your problem and as soon as you make that discovery, the cause will disappear and you can be free. Instead needing to live to a regime as a solution, you can be really free. Hypnosis is not a magic wand; because of the different character types that people have, some can be helped more and some will find it ineffective. Among those that can be helped, there has to be a willingness to accept that help - there has to be a want for that help. Then, there is what seems like a blanket over rider to all cases; people of acutely sub normal mental ability and those under the influence of drugs or drink at the time are unable to accept any help that hypnotic therapy can offer. The help offered is not a one session, walk in, walk out, whoosh, it's done - instant transformation. It is a course of about eight sessions, over consecutive weeks, involving deep relaxation. The relaxation is so deep that the barriers in your subconscious will also be relaxed and you will gradually find out what it is that makes you tick; when you find any wrong things that give your life an abnormal beat, you will be able to release them and they will no longer have any control over you. If you want help or want to find out if the kind of help Mark can offer is likely to be successful for you, telephone or email for a free, initial consultation.
