It is possible to solve your drinking problem. Holmes's Complete Guide to Stop Drinking Alcohol will transform any negative into positive thinking whilst building your self-esteem and, most importantly, nurturing your self-compassion to remove the pain of any guilt or shame you have been living with.
Ever felt like quitting alcohol is a mountain too steep to climb? Mark Holmes, an Alcohol Addiction CBT Therapist and Founder of the Addiction Help Agency, might just have the roadmap you need. In this episode of 'Alcohol Tipping Point', Mark sits down with host Deb Mazenor to talk about his new book, 'Holmes's Complete Guide to Stop Drinking Alcohol'. Mark's approach is anything but conventional.
He believes in starting gently, understanding the roots of addiction, and using cognitive behavioral therapy to navigate the journey. But that's not all. Mark emphasizes the power of self-compassion and positive thinking, transforming any negative thoughts into a foundation for building self-esteem. He also touches on the importance of having a solid plan and warns against the dangers of repeatedly quitting without a strategy.
What sets Mark apart is his secularist approach to meditation, which he uses in a non-spiritual way to aid healing. Throughout the episode, he shares practical advice grounded in both his professional experience and personal journey. Mark's message is clear: solving your drinking problem is possible. His book aims to nurture self-compassion and remove the pain of guilt or shame, ultimately giving you the courage and confidence to redefine yourself in a brighter world.
If you're looking for support and resources, Mark recommends his book and the Addiction Help Agency. He also encourages practicing self-compassion and seeking professional help if needed. This episode is packed with valuable insights for anyone on the path to sobriety.
