Now why these addictions happen ... In hypnotherapy I have few cases of alcohol addiction and in all these cases starting age of drinking was 11-16 years . And first time they ventured into drinking because of these reasons
1 . Some actor in some movie was drinking in style so that style was imprinted in their mind .
2 . Some glossy advertisement makes them feel it ’ s synonym of panache .
3 . Their friends or somebody first cajoled then forced them into it . These reasons were mere beginning blocks . however , deision to stay with the habit or shell we say “ reason for addiction ” was more subtle ... after starting , gradually their subconscious mind relates this drinking with enjoyment & being with self ..........
Two of my clients accepted that they don ’ t want to get rid of their alcohol addiction as they love that time they spend with themselves or with friends in the environment where nobody is disturbing them or demanding anything ( funny part is this , these people don ’ t like taste of liquor ) they came for therapy because of their life partners . Now these discussions opened new revelation for me as I was able to relate certain aspects to my life .
My Life ... yes I used to drink coffee a lot , no not in morning , any time of the dayJ .
Well , I loved its aroma ... close my eyes and smell it and feels like I am at nice beautiful place with loads of greenery and beautiful rain , happy people around and I am enjoying just being ; now point to be noted is I don ’ t like it ’ s taste , still I loved to drink it why ... to re-live that moment . 1 . Relates it with happiness
Another attraction was being workohalic , for me it was really difficult to sit idle it was like wasteg of time and resources . so another thing about tea / coffee is my mind relates it with short break , so I can relax for some time .
2 . Relates it with relaxation .
