I drank for decades, and no matter how bad it got, I couldn't quit until I understood this simple reason I drank too much: If you’re overdrinking, you are constantly fighting a battle between your conscious and your subconscious mind. Your conscious mind is the logical part. It’s the part that says, "I need to stop because I’m tired, anxious, and want to be healthy." But your subconscious mind drives your habits and emotions. It holds the deeply embedded belief that alcohol is your "off switch" and the only way to handle stress… When you use willpower, you are trying to force your Subconscious to submit. It is an exhausting tug-of-war, and eventually, the Subconscious always wins. Here's how to change that: To stop the cycle, you have to align them. You must change the subconscious beliefs that keep you stuck, proving to your brain that you don't actually need alcohol to cope or socialize.
