      A Comprehensive Guide In Quitting Drinking - Ann Preston-Jones

      Chapter 1: Introduction

      Alcoholism is one of the world's oldest forms of substance abuse, and unfortunately, it is every bit as common today as it has always been. Current statistics show that some 30 percent of Americans have had a drinking problem in their past, while a further 15 percent are active alcoholics. However, some schools of thought believe that these estimates are too modest. Some people can successfully hide their habit for many years before family or friends find out. Some may even fail to recognize this problem in themselves.

      Alcoholism is defined as an addiction to alcohol that causes the drinker to feel like they have no control over the amount they consume. They may spend vast amounts of time either drinking or thinking about drinking. You will learn how you can identify and help someone with and alcohol problem. You will also find information on facts about alcoholism or alcohol addiction, symptoms and effects of alcohol, treatment for alcoholism, alcohol related diseases and much more.

      When you speak of good times, alcohol is almost always a part of it. In fact, memorable life occasions are normally celebrated with good cheers and laughter, preferably over swigs of alcohol. There are few people who don’t love a good drink.

      Across the globe, different cultures have their own favorite alcoholic beverage. In popular culture, alcohol always figures prominently, consumed and abused by the rich and famous. To the ordinary folk, consuming alcohol is a great way to let loose a little and indulge in a bit of fun.

      An occasional drink is no problem, but some people need more than that. For them, a steady intake of alcohol is necessary to satiate their cravings. In more ways than one, alcohol becomes their refuge, their quick and convenient escape from all their troubles and worries.

      Should this be the case for you, the ultimate solution is to switch to a different and less harmful means of escape, not to try and end escapism itself. Everybody needs to escape from time to time, even people without worries.

      If I need to escape, I simply go to the forest or a botanical garden. I know from neuroscience that our brains react positively to being in nature. We feel it as relaxation, and our thoughts suddenly become clear, but behind the scenes of our brains, there is more happening that we are not aware of. My first advice to you is therefore to go out into nature and take a walk. It does more for you than you notice. The more ways of peaceful escape you discover for yourself, the less you need that other one: alcohol.

      The choice to turn to alcohol as a response to the circumstances in your life is a product of your own will. However, there are a handful of risk factors that increase someone’s tendency to become alcoholic. One of these factors is genetics.

      Scientists believe that a person whose parents had their own issues with alcoholism is more likely to become susceptible to alcohol than those who didn't have alcoholic parents. People who had or are currently suffering from psychological issues such as depression and anxiety attacks are also at a greater risk of becoming alcoholics. Lastly, individuals who live in an environment where drinking is the norm and who are constantly subjected to pressure from their peers to pick up the bottle are also at risk of developing alcoholism.

      The second one of these points, depression, is easy cured – even if it is chronic. My advice of going out into nature applies here as well, because it has an anti-depressant effect in your brain. You also need to engage in brisk walking for 30 minutes, 3 times a week. As simple as this exercise may sound, we know today that it has the same anti-depressant effects as drugs. In fact, people who rely on anti-depressant drugs are much more likely to return to a depressive state than people that do the brisk walking exercise.

      You also need sunlight more than you realize. If there is no sunlight, like in winter, your body clock drifts by 1 hour a day and messes up your sleep. Your eyes have special light detectors for outside brightness that no indoor lighting can activate. These receptors are, simply put, connected to your body clock and the pleasure center of your brain. If it has been gloomy all day and the sun comes out even for a moment, you know your mood is immediately uplifted. Lack of sunlight causes winter depression and insomnia, because your body clock is inaccurate and drifts by about an hour each day. You brain uses sunlight to know how to correct your body clock each day. So without at least a partially sunny day, your brain doesn’t correct your body clock.

      The way to deal with this is to find a different source of bright light. Since normal indoor light is actually 100 to 1000 times dimmer than it is outside on a sunny day, you need to go for a special product. Search for 10000 lux light box on Amazon and get one. I believe a light box to be as essential in a household as a washing machine. All you need to do is look at the light box every morning within 1 hour of waking up. This will reset your body clock and cause anti-depressant effects in your brain.

      If this is the first time you hear of light boxes and the effects of sunlight, then
