Most heavy drinkers will come to the decision at some time in their lives that the time has come to either cut back drinking or even stopping all together. The problem that they now encounter is how on earth are they going to do it. In order to find out just how, we first need to discover just how our lives change if we actually manage to achieve our goal.



So what goals do we actually want to achieve by giving up alcohol is the question we need to asking ourselves, and then write down the answers so we don't forget at a later stage. These are the sort of questions that you might find asking yourself;- Would I like to improve my lifestyle? Does my family need a better relationship with me? Does my health need improving? What is it that really wants me to drink less?

A recent study carried on people who wanted to give up drinking had some very interesting results. Out of a hundred people who wanted to give up, only half had to write down their main objectives and after a 3 month period 85% of them had actually achieved their goals.

On the other hand out of the other 50 people, only 8% managed to achieve their main objectives. The deciding factor in these cases is that you really do need to know exactly what you want in order to achieve your goal, for example getting off alcohol. So the primary task is to set yourself some realistic goals and always remember that you control the drinking and not the other way around.

The problem is that our body just isn't compatible with alcohol, and although we know this, we just carry on like there was no tomorrow. Let's just summarize as much as we can the effects of alcohol on us once it has entered our body. First of all it infiltrates our bloodstream, our brain, our liver, our pancreas, our kidneys, our lungs as well as every other living tissue in our body. The truth of the matter is that every drink we have is slowly killing us, so what will that do to really heavy drinkers, commonly known as "Chronic Drinkers."

We can also learn from studies on alcohol that if consumed in access it can lead to our brain decreasing in size, that our reactions become a lot slower and that even our memory capacity is slowed down. Our studies reveal that alcoholism will lead to signs of cognitive dysfunction and the damming fact is that the stronger the alcohol content, the quicker it will be absorbed into our body.

At the top of the nasties list are with no doubt neat spirits as they will affect the stomach, delaying the alcohol's absorption. There are also negative effects on our central nervous system and it will even depress inhibitory centres of the brain. It goes without saying that people on the whole will end up drinking for a whole bunch of reasons, but they are obviously the wrong ones as happiness can never be found in a bottle.
