The common problems and thought patterns that alcoholics encounter trying to get sober?

The addictive mind frequently tends to procrastinate. You may believe that you will cease drinking next week, after the upcoming event, or when you achieve a more favorable mental state. However, consider your mindset from last month or even last year – did you not entertain similar thoughts during that time? 

You might attempt to quit drinking with sincere intentions and strong resolve, only to discover that you are consuming alcohol again within a few days or perhaps even the very next day. 

You are not alone, as there is a neurological and physical reason for this pattern. 

Do you often find yourself pondering the notion of drinking alcohol when you are not currently engaged in it?

You may experience thoughts such as, “I could have a drink at this time”? Do you catch yourself purchasing alcohol despite having promised not to? 

If this resonates with you, it appears that you are merely a passenger while your addiction takes control. 

Are others weary of your unfulfilled promises? Is your alcohol consumption straining your relationships with your spouse and children? 

Do you wake up the following day filled with anxiety? Do you feel isolated even when surrounded by others? Is your drinking adversely affecting your professional or business life? 

These are all prevalent indicators of alcoholism or alcohol use disorder. Take a look at our treatment program that will address all of these issues.
