Feeling trapped in a cycle of unhealthy drinking habits? You’re not alone. Many people struggle with alcohol addiction, and often, codependency plays a significant role. As a Codependency and Addiction Recovery Coach and Counsellor, I’m here to help you understand this complex connection and guide you toward lasting recovery.
The Codependency-Addiction Link
Codependency is a pattern of behavior where you prioritize the needs of others above your own, often to the detriment of your well-being. This can manifest in various ways, such as:
- People-pleasing: Constantly seeking approval and validation from others.
- Difficulty setting boundaries: Struggling to say “no” and allowing others to take advantage of you.
- Low self-esteem: Feeling inadequate and relying on external validation for your sense of worth.
These codependent tendencies can create a fertile ground for addiction to take root. For instance, you might turn to alcohol to:
- Cope with stress: Numbing uncomfortable emotions caused by putting everyone else’s needs first.
- Gain a sense of control: Feeling powerless in your relationships can lead to seeking control through substance use.
- Escape from reality: Avoiding difficult emotions and situations by using alcohol as a crutch.
Breaking the Cycle: My Approach
My approach to alcohol recovery focuses on addressing both the addiction and the underlying codependency. I offer one on one alcohol counselling and codependency coaching to help you:
- Recognise codependent patterns: Identify how these behaviours contribute to your drinking.
- Develop healthy boundaries: Learn to prioritise your own needs and say “no” when necessary.
- Build self-esteem: Cultivate a sense of self-worth independent of external validation.
- Cope with emotions: Develop healthy coping mechanisms to manage stress and difficult feelings.
