Transcription:

After talking with hundreds of problem-drinkers, the same reasons for drinking come up again and again.

Stress-relief and relaxation are two of the most common reasons given.
The scenario might look something like this:

Wake up hungover from the night before
Go through the ritual of regret and vowing never to drink again
Have a quick shower, get ready for work
Skip breakfast because your stomach can’t handle it
Go to work
Just about manage to get through the morning on coffee
The sickness starts to subside
Manage to eat half of your lunch
Go back to work
Barely hold your focus on the task at hand
Stress increases
Today was a bad day
Get home, exhausted
Feel slightly agitated at home
Forget how bad you felt in the morning
Open a drink, and all of a sudden, the stress and agitation disappears
The drinker now feels relaxed

After going through this routine, the drinker is convinced that alcohol has somehow helped them to relieve stress and relax.

“I’ve had a stressful day of work. I deserve this. It helps me relax.”
And in that brief moment of time, the stress disappears and the drinker feels peaceful.

But, what is really going on here?

Does Alcohol Help With Relaxation And Stress Relief?

The drinker, in the above story, may well have had a legitimately stressful day. The drinker may feel mentally or physically exhausted after a long day of work.
Or, the drinker may be experiencing a legitimately stressful time in their life.

But, we’re currently missing a critical part of the equation.
We first need to ask ourselves these questions:


Why would the drinker almost always turn to alcohol, when there are plenty of other relaxation methods available to them?


Why wouldn’t the drinker occasionally use alcohol for stress relief, but also delve in regular yoga, meditation and massage to relax?


Why is it almost always alcohol that needs to be consumed to relieve the stress?
Well, we need to explore the other side of the equation.


And, what I’m about to say may well surprise you.


It’s all about the craving.

Alcohol, The Craving, And Relaxation.

Most drinkers don’t even realise that they have cravings.

When I used to think of a craving, I would often imagine a drug addict who’s shaking and desperate for their next fix. Or, a drug addict begging on the streets so they can go and buy drugs.

And because I had this clear idea in my mind of what a craving was, the vast majority of my cravings would go unnoticed.

Now, just for the record, I’m not talking about withdrawal.
That’s a very different thing, and some people that stop drinking may experience physical symptoms.

I did write a post about quitting drinking cold turkey that can be accessed here if you want to learn more about that.

Alcohol cravings are very different from what we expect.
They aren’t in your face.
