don\u2019t want to drink<\/a> tonight and yet, we find ourselves with a glass in our hand and didn\u2019t want it and we are doing it, and another night is gone where we have drunk far more than we really wanted to than we anticipated and wake up feeling awful, and then we do it again. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThat is an addictive scenario playing out in real time because, if it was genuinely something you didn\u2019t want to do and there was no level of addiction or belief invested in it then you wouldn\u2019t do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is part of the denial, it\u2019s a complete lack of awareness in the individual that there is actually a problem because, it\u2019s built into the belief system that it\u2019s a benefit. When we think about denial normally it\u2019s at a point where maybe somebody has said something. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maybe a family member has mentioned that they think you are drinking too much, or maybe you have even wondered yourself. Maybe friends have pointed out that you are drinking, and you are out drinking again, and drinking too much and there is in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When we talk about denial we are really talking about that inaction. <\/strong>Surely that person can see that there is a problem, but they can\u2019t see its problem, because they believe it\u2019s a benefit and that\u2019s the kind of conundrum. <\/p>\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s evident to people outside that there is a problem, but the individual is still caught in this cycle of believing it\u2019s a benefit. I will be discussing this in more detail at a later date with some analogies and metaphors which will help you to understand that \u2018caught in the loop element\u2019 that applies to the drinker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All that needs to happen to change this is a realisation initially that \u2018hey I\u2019m caught in a loop here.\u2019 And when that realisation happens, that opens up the possibility for you to get into that loop and stop it, to cut it to break it. The first thing that has to happen is an awareness you are in a loop otherwise you\u2019re unhappily going round and round and round thinking \u2018this is my life, this is me, this is normal, this is the way everybody is!\u2019<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
There are hundreds of thousands, millions of people who are in that loop, who are unaware, and this is all about the realisation that there is a loop, that you are in it and the first thing to do is to realise that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
