Drinking
Knowing Your Brain State
If you have struggled with problem drinking, knowing your brain state can be very helpful. It can also be helpful for your family members and friends as the emotional brain is the social brain, which is why drinking problems are family affairs. Each of us strongly influences the brain state of others, so being emotional brain literate is a first step in gaining freedom from the drive for alcohol and for other common external solutions.
The Basics
About 30% of Americans report having drinking problems at some time in their lives, including 42% of men and 19% of women. Treatment involves 12-step programs, medications and/or psychotherapy.
The EBT Approach
Brain studies have shown that drinking impacts the brain's reward centers, balancing moods, but diminishing joy. The brain demands joy, so the drinker turns to alcohol for that "joy substitute."
The EBT approach is learn tools to get that joy back, and how to rewire the circuit that associates drinking with reward. The goal of the method is to rewire the brain's set point for freedom from the whole range of common excesses and an abundance of the joys of an exceptional life.
Getting Started
Take our EBT Basics: Wired for Joy Course. You'll begin to think in terms of brain states, and wires, and learn how to switch your brain from any level of stress back to joy. Continue with the advanced courses until you have what you most want from this training. The rewards of a brain in balance are: sanctuary, authenticity, vibrancy, integrity, intimacy, spirituality and freedom.
Choose the reward that matters most to you, and then move through the EBT courses until you have an abundance of it, and your brain is wired for joy.
