		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;I wish I could quit drinking so much, but I just don&#8217;t have enough willpower&#8221;. As a therapist, I hear this quite often, but perhaps we need to explore what willpower really means in order to find a solution to the problem. The capacity to resist the urge to drink arises initially from various motivations [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is no doubt that the most popular self help book for people with alcohol problems is this one by Allen Carr. He achieved his deserved reputation with his initial book about stopping smoking, and such was its success that he&#8217;s now written two books dedicated to drinking. This one is for those who want [...]]]></description>

Again, like his other book, it concentrates on the cognitive aspects of your alcohol problems &#8211; what you are telling yourself internally about alcohol.

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes the terminology used when talking about alcohol problems can be quite unhelpful. In fact, when using the terms &#8216;alcoholism&#8217; or &#8216;alcoholic&#8217; (which everyone does, including this site), the emphasis can be that the problem is with the alcohol itself. But the problem actually stems from the state of mind that the alcohol gives you, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Have you become dependent on alcohol to give you self confidence? Many of our clients say they have no self confidence left because of their drinking. Sometimes they feel so guilty about their behaviour, towards their families for the pain they&#8217;ve caused them, for instance.
