Alcohol works!
Especially in the short term, it does wonders:
it helps us feel positive, energetic, and relaxed.
However, in the long term, alcohol alters brain chemistry,
reinforcing negative thinking patterns and negatively affecting our emotions, mental clarity, and physical health.
This creates a vicious cycle:
The symptoms temporarily disappear when we drink.
But over time, the long-term negative effects intensify.
As a result, the urge to drink increases,
making it even harder to break free.
The good news is that our brains are incredibly adaptable. They can form new patterns, overcome negative thinking, and develop healthier coping strategies, empowering us to thrive.
