Using The Alcohol Habit's Own Wiring Against It

How can you use the alcohol's own habit wiring against it? You know, most people try to stop by out-muscling the habit, out-muscling the cravings with willpower, using brute force.

And it's okay when you've got the energy levels to do that, but most of the time when we're drinking, those energy levels are required towards the end of the day when your energy levels are at their weakest.

So you don't have to do that.

The habit runs on one thing, knowing that the next drink is coming, knowing that the next hit is coming, because I'll explain this as we're going along.

It's not about the drink.

It's about the certainty of supply, not the supply of the fuel, but the supply of the hit.

Now, once you take that away and it starts to come apart on its own, you know, the habit will dissolve on its own.

There's not much work that you have to do with a habit except not to do the thing that feeds the habit, if you get what I mean.

Now, the habit can't survive without its fuel.

Now, as I said, the habit is surviving because it knows that the next one is coming, right? Whether it's tonight or the weekend or after work or when you're pissed off or when you're happy or whatever it is, the alcohol and the habit just to make this clear, are not the same thing, right? Alcohol creates a different set of problems on its own, right? So a lot of people, when they stop drinking alcohol, the withdrawal, the risk of seizures, all that kind of stuff is because of the damage that the alcohol has caused.

And that's got nothing to do with the habit.

The thing that keeps you trapped into the cycle is the habit.

That's nothing to do with the alcohol.
