For those with an alcohol addiction, this can be very frustrating, leading to broken promises and relationship issues. The alcoholic may plan to give up drinking and find themselves drinking again just a few days later. There are both neurological and physical reasons for this behavior. We will give you the tools and insight to the ” why” and get you on the road to long-term sobriety.
Often the mere contemplation of a life devoid of alcohol can appear intimidating and seemingly unattainable. This perception is entirely understandable, as your relationship with alcohol has evolved into a source of comfort, solace, and refuge. This typically stems from an underlying imbalance of Dopamine, a neurotransmitter situated in the midbrain, which plays a crucial role in these types of feelings.
These are common feelings felt by alcoholics. When we look at the alcoholic’s first drink, often they are overwhelmed by a feeling of wholeness and comfort. This is the beginning of the addictive pattern. At first, it acts as a coping mechanism, and as the years go by, it becomes an alcohol addiction. Alcohol addiction needs professional help, this is not an addiction you can think yourself out of.
This is a pattern that most alcoholics get stuck in. They tend to ” Chase their tail,” and this pattern can last for years. Either the alcoholic gets professional help, or they will die from health-related issues due to the addiction to alcohol. Sadly, they will often die trying to manage their addiction – stuck in that circle. Alcohol is a leading cause of preventable death in Auckland, New Zealand.
