While these two steps are powerful and essential, it's important to note that they alone will not effectively correct the underlying biochemical imbalances in your brain or body-mind. This is why we address your physiology along with your psychology.

3. Biochemical Recalibration: The heart of our program lies in the recognition that biochemical dysregulation in your brain and body plays a pivotal role in keeping you stuck in your nightly routine. Alcohol exposure negatively impacts every cell, tissue and organ in the body. It is this biochemical impact at the cellular level (at the cell memBRAIN to be precise) that creates and perpetuates cravings, desires for alcohol and what is perceived as a 'lack of willpower'. Simply relying on cognitive strategies alone to counter this impact is insufficient. Creating lasting freedom from the thoughts and desires for wine and cocktails requires correcting the biochemistry of your brain, body-mind and body so that all parts of you are working together toward the goal simultaneously. This is the game changer!

By addressing all three areas simultaneously, we ensure that the shifts you make are not only enduring but also prevent you from reverting to old, unhealthy patterns. It's important to understand that sheer willpower cannot break this cycle. Attempting to solely "change your relationship with alcohol" neglects the essential aspect of addressing your physical mind and physical body, which right now are the driving forces behind the biochemical imbalances that fuel and perpetuate the cravings, desires or notions.

Struggling to override the neurochemical signals generated by your brain and body-mind with linguistic approaches alone is often futile. To truly rewire the neural pathways and effect lasting change, you must also address the physical roots of thoughts and emotions. This means providing your body and mind with the necessary biochemical building blocks and fuel required to recalibrate and transform your body-wide neural network.

Disregarding the physiological triggers that perpetuate the nightly cycle of wine or cocktails is akin to ignoring an elephant in the room—an elephant that persistently cues your cravings and thoughts for wine or cocktails. This elephant won't simply respond to spoken or written words; it demands a comprehensive approach that embraces the cognitive, emotional and biochemical dimensions of your reliance on alcohol. You can become Self-Reliant!
