Drug & Alcohol Addiction

In a majority of case drugs and alcohol are used to self medicate when we find we cannot cope with a number of issues such as depression, anxiety and stress. While interventions such as CBT and face-to-face talking therapies are available on the NHS, you may have to wait several weeks to get them.

But there is an alternative option: Research suggests that online support from a counesellor can be just as effective as having face-to-face sessions.

What is a habit?

Habits are routine behaviours done on a regular basis. They are recurrent and often unconscious patterns of behaviour and are acquired through frequent repetition. Many of these are unconscious as we don’t even realise we are doing them. .

So we can see that habits define our character, our thoughts and feelings and our ‘usual’ behaviours. We can also see that habits are behaviours that are nearly or completely involuntary and because they are repeated frequently, we become ‘better’ at them (increased facility of performance)..
