Part 1 of 4 - Why Your Breaks from Drinking Never Stick - The 4 Big Reasons

If your drinking habit has evolved to the point where you’ve decided to take a break, then first of all CONGRATULATIONS on your decision to at least give it a try. It shows a great deal of maturity and a willingness to listen to that inner voice of self-preservation that we all have.

HOWEVER, if you have tried taking breaks but find yourself short-circuiting them sooner than you intended to, only to revert right back to your old drinking patterns…you are most certainly not alone. For most of us, by the time we realize we’ve become a little more dependent on our favorite adult beverage (than we’d like to admit) just to make it through the evening, weekend and nearly every social occasion, it is a very healthy and logical idea to seek out some sort of “time off” to recover and reassess things.

But equally common is that it can be fairly difficult to go the distance and meet whatever goal we set for ourselves, whether a week, a month or longer. It can be very frustrating that we can’t “make it stick” so to speak, and truly give our mind and body a vacation from the downsides of a vigorous drinking habit.

In this Four-Part Series, the focus will be on The 4 Big Reasons often responsible for why you ended your previous attempts at breaks from drinking sooner than you intended to, and how you can achieve success with each of these critical 4 areas and gain complete control over this matter in your life.

In Part 1, we evaluate the role of your Conscious Mind in this equation, and how it can work for you (or against you) depending on how you approach your time-off strategy psychologically.
