Recovery starts with admitting you have a problem with alcohol. You don’t have to wait until you hit rock bottom; you can make a change at any time. In the early stages of change, denial is a huge obstacle. Even after admitting you have a drinking problem, you may make excuses and drag your feet. It’s important to acknowledge that you are not sure about quitting. It has been a big part of your life and your life may revolve around it.
One of the most important aspects of recovery for a struggling addict is to have the opportunity to share their story, their life experience. There is human connection on a surprisingly deep level, even though the people in treatment may only see each other for a few days or at a meeting for a few hours. Your Alcohol Addiction stories are important. You are not alone and maybe there is someone who will benefit from you sharing your experience.
“Telling your story is medicine for the spirit and healing for the soul” It is the essence of self that brings others close and creates meaning in life. Something happens when you share your story, especially when you write it down. Writing your story allows you to connect with yourself in the deepest way; you get a chance to know who you are and what you think. It helps bring you out of any kind of denial that you might have going on.
Your story can make a real difference not only to you but to those who hear it or read it. They may be going through the same things and can be influenced in positive ways by it, least of which they will not feel so alone. When you tell your story you receive compassion and understanding from the others struggling in similar ways. It breaks the isolation that you feel and gives you strength to carry on.
Getting sober is only the beginning of alcohol recovery. Rehab or professional treatment can get you started on the road to recovery, but to stay alcohol-free for the long term, you’ll need to build a new, meaningful life where drinking no longer has a place.
Whether you choose to go to rehab, work with self-help programs or go to therapy, support is essential. Don’t try to go it alone. Recovering from alcohol addiction is much easier when you have people you can lean on for encouragement, guidance and support.

Even though relaxation is a natural state, you might be surprised how difficult this can be for people to do. We tend to get in the habit of endless thinking, worrying, stressing and planning. In today’s hectic world people don’t seem to take the time to just sit quietly for a few moments or to just breathe. Conscious breathing can make all the difference when it comes to reducing stress and anxiety levels. Slow breathing lets the body know that it is time to relax!
Stress and anxiety are a part of our modern life but there are things you can do even in the midst of a busy work day!
First of all…………………
Breathe!!!…… Breathing is the most important thing, but not just any breathing.
Place your hands on your belly and begin to breathe from the abdomen. In and out through the belly, as you inhale let the belly balloon up and as you exhale let it sink down. Keep the breath in the belly. This is called abdominal breathing.
Ujjayi Breathing: ……Continue breathing with the belly but now add the “sounding breath” or in the ancient yogic tradition called Ujjayi breathing, making a sound in the back of the throat as if you had nostrils in the back of your throat. The “sounding breath” is created by moving the glottis(in the back of the throat) as air passes in and out. The throat passage is narrowed and the airway where the passage of air comes through creates a gentle snoring sound. The length and speed of the breath is controlled by the diaphragm. This strengthening is, partially the purpose of ujjayi as well as being tremendously relaxing and calming.
Hypnosis MP3’s or CD’s: …… Hypnosis allows you to enter a state of deep relaxation which in itself is a very useful therapy for lowering stress. It also allows you to become calm and focused, so you can concentrate on solving your problems. Hypnosis is a state in which the conscious mind is temporarily suspended or distracted and in which all parts of the mind work in harmony for your highest good. Hypnosis MP3’s or CD’s can be very useful in helping one to relax.
