Alcohol

You might think that alcohol is a very powerful tool to overcome jealousy. Sorry to crash your belief, but you are wrong. Together we will see why and how.

Alcohol has been taken over the time by some people as a way to deal with their jealousy issues. They have thought that soaking all the negative thoughts in alcohol could relieve them from their tendency of being jealous. It may have worked just that particular time when you were with the bottle in hands, that’s the impression you got. But way too long this is not exactly the case.


The makes of alcohol

When you are drinking you feel like being in the nebulous for some time. Your body is at ease and you might think it’s alright. But what actually happen is that your brain is too indulged in the methanol and your thinking is not so clear, worst they go in an inappropriate direction. What you have in mind is not actually what you say. Furthermore the way you see yourself is not the same as if you were sober.

A fundamental fact about you and your jealousy tendency and issues is that you have to be truthful about who you are and the reasons why you are jealous. You have to be sober enough to identify towards who or what your jealousy go. But, under the influence of alcohol you will deny everything about those facts, clearing that you are not jealous.
Besides, the impression you have about you being strong, cool and else is not exactly the same as when you are sober. Alcohol twists them all wrong.


See by yourself

Take two sheets of paper and answer to the following questions under the two conditions (sober and under alcohol).

1. How do I see myself?
2. What are the things I want to achieve?
3. Who are my friends?
4. What influence they have on me?
5. How do I react towards them?
6. Am I jealous?
7. Why am I jealous?
8. What are the thoughts that cross my mind when dealing with jealousy?

You will clearly see that your answers are not quite the same. While someone suffering from jealousy will see himself strong under the influence of alcohol or worst, aggravate his jealousy state with all kind of negative thoughts, someone sober will clearly help himself with the proper identifications made.

By doing this experience it will clearly help to know at point you are. Because the first step in overcoming jealousy and recovering happiness and confidence is to understand and admit where your problems are.
