What Is Binge Drinking And Why Is It So Bad?

Have you ever wanted to quit drinking but can't seem to do it? You've tried AA and other methods, but nothing works. Well, if that's you, then listen up! I have helped hundreds of people get sober without AA, willpower, or medication.

My Story

Hello! My name is Craig Beck, and I once struggled with a drinking problem. It took me more than 20 years to realize that my alcoholism was causing most of my problems. Then I saw the connection between my struggles and alcoholism.

By changing my thinking about alcohol, I could address my addiction more logically. This led to peace, happiness, and security in my life. Sobriety allowed me to lose weight, enjoy sleep, reconnect with family, reclaim my career, and help over 100,000 people like you lead sober lives.

The root cause of the drinking problem is that we try to escape reality through alcohol. But these things never work for long because they only give temporary relief from pain rather than real solutions to our problems.

I help people to live in the present moment, to get rid of their anxiety and fear, which are the leading causes of alcohol abuse. I use various techniques for transformation to help you become aware of your true nature. Once you become aware of your true nature, you can live in the present moment and no longer need to escape reality through alcohol or other substances.

What Is Binge Drinking?

Binge drinking is defined as consuming more than five drinks in 2 hours for men or more than four drinks in 2 hours for women. Binge drinking can be dangerous and can lead to alcohol poisoning. It's also a form of heavy drinking, which is another type of problem drinking that can be a sign of alcoholism.

Binge drinking occurs over time-it isn't just an isolated event where someone gets drunk on one occasion. For example, if you drink three days per week and then binge on the weekends (for example, ten drinks in one night), that's still considered bingeing because it's happening over several weeks or months

Alcohol the Slow Killer

Alcohol has devastating consequences on your body, mind, and spirit. Alcohol damages the nerve cells in your brain due to exposure over time. This damage can't be seen with the naked eye, but it's there nonetheless, making it much harder for you to control your drinking habits than someone without this condition.

The more years you've been drinking heavily, the more likely you are to need help quitting alcohol forever. This is because each time you drink alcohol, your brain gets exposed again until there becomes permanent damage from excess exposure. This eventually manifests as alcoholism symptoms such as alcohol abuse disorder (AD), alcohol dependence syndrome (ADS), etc.,

Why Do Binge and Heavy Drinkers Find It Hard to Recover?

Heavy binge drinkers often find it hard to recover because they:

Are in Denial About Their Problem

Heavy drinkers often say things like "I can stop whenever I want" or "I can control myself when I drink." But the truth is that if you have an alcohol problem and try to depend on willpower alone, then you'll probably fail. Instead of relying on yourself for change, it's best to seek professional help from a therapist or counselor who specializes in treating these disorders.

Blame Other People for Their Drinking Problems

It's easy to blame others when things go wrong. If you've been trying unsuccessfully to quit drinking without success, then maybe now is the time to face reality and accept responsibility for your actions rather than blaming others for them!

Facing reality is always helpful because sometimes underlying issues are involved (such as trauma). This needs addressing before lasting recovery is achieved successfully--and no one else knows what those issues might be except yourself!

Your Life Will Improve After You Quit Binge Drinking Alcohol.

When you go sober, your life will improve in so many ways.

Feel Energized

First and foremost, you'll feel better physically and emotionally. You'll have more energy to do the things you enjoy. You'll even sleep better at night and wake up refreshed every morning.

Improved Relationships

Your relationships with friends and family will improve because you won't be dependent on alcohol for social connections anymore! All this can happen even if your drinking habits are bad-sober living is possible!

Save Money

You might also have more money in your wallet since your drinking days are behind you. With the added income from being sober, who knows what kind of adventures or opportunities could come up? Maybe finally taking that vacation abroad or buying that new car...depending on how much money was spent on alcohol each month before quitting drinking!

Have Fulfillment

Finally (and most importantly), living without alcohol will make people feel fulfilled again. This will help you achieve your goals instead of letting them slide by day after day while getting drunk out of one's mind every weeknight.
