		<description><![CDATA[A lot of people consume alcohol as a way to manage stress. How often this is effective as a coping strategy probably decreases as the amount you drink increases. But although alcohol doesn&#8217;t really work as a long-term way of handling stressful situations, it does provide relief in the short term. And this is where [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We all make mistakes from time to time, it&#8217;s inevitable. But how you react to them can make a big difference to your self esteem. What do you tend to say to yourself when you make a mistake? If you have a judgemental inner voice that says something like &#8220;I&#8217;m so stupid, I always make [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Although it may seem like &#8216;just a habit&#8217;, you are making a choice to have a drink each and every time. That choice involves many components &#8211; your beliefs about alcohol and yourself, your thoughts (your inner dialogue), your feelings and your behaviour. Your wish to not drink so much (because you can recognize the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Focussing on negative thoughts as opposed to positive ones leaves you feeling depressed and unmotivated. If you concentrate on how many mistakes you&#8217;ve made, or how you haven&#8217;t managed to stop drinking like you wanted to, maybe how you&#8217;ve &#8216;failed&#8217; yourself and those around you, then of course you won&#8217;t feel good about yourself.

		<description><![CDATA[An interesting study by Hertfordshire University recently discovered that talking about your cravings can actually reduce their power over you. Although they used chocolate, not alcohol, the principle is exactly the same. The test subjects who were encouraged to talk about their desire for chocolate subsequently ate 50% less than those who were told not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The cognitive therapy approach to alcohol counselling is not concerned with analysing your childhood, or finding out if you have an &#8216;addictive personality&#8216;, nor does it force you into a one-size-fits-all step by step solution, like Alcoholics Anonymous does. An alcohol problem is not just a habitual behaviour, but also a habitual way of thinking. [...]]]></description>
