There is something that all people know now; Our emotions lie beneath every behavior. This information is valid for people who consume too much alcohol. For this reason, explaining the harms of alcohol to an alcohol addict, "Don't drink alcohol, you're damaging your lungs, you're hurting yourself" etc. Saying things or being too concerned with his addiction is often a useless method. You will allow him to drink alcohol and at the same time monitor his alcohol intake; Under what emotions does he drink alcohol? In which emotions does alcohol consumption decrease or increase? When does he mostly need alcohol? Who does he want to drink with or without? With what emotions does he buy it or what emotions does he use to escape from?
If you do not talk to the alcohol addict and examine these, he will develop another addiction even if he quits alcohol. Because the emotions that caused the action have not passed. Acting out can also be thought of as impulsive and overly intense behavior. A person may develop this defense mechanism to escape intense negative emotions that he cannot cope with. Taking action protects the person against the bad feeling. In fact, everyone acts out, what makes it pathological is that it is excessive and intense. For example; Someone who feels intensely inadequate, worthless, unloved, or helpless may spend excessive money, consume excessive alcohol, and have sexual intercourse with excessive and promiscuous people in order to escape from these bad emotions. If the emotion underlying the behavior is found and studied, and confrontation can be achieved, acting out may decrease. The same logic applies to alcohol addiction. This could be a relative of yours or you. If you are the person who is addicted, then you will ask yourself these questions; In what situations does my alcohol consumption increase? Which feeling do I relieve with alcohol? What am I avoiding when I drink alcohol? Once you find this feeling, you will make it known to yourself. For example, let's say our feeling is worthlessness; ''I am currently drinking alcohol to relieve my feeling of worthlessness.'' The person should announce this to himself frequently before, while and after drinking alcohol, so that his conscious brain can establish a relationship between his behavior and his emotion, so that he can know why he is drinking alcohol and It can help release the emotion.
