Our attitudes are built on our perceptions of ourselves and the world. We weren’t born with them, but over time, attitudes become so much a part of who we are that we often take them for granted. People, society, media, politics, personal circumstances, and surroundings all shape them.
You may feel your current attitudes have done okay; after all, they got you this far. However, it’s essential to consider whether the way you feel, think and behave supports you in living the life you want. Let’s not forget those same influences shaped your current beliefs around alcohol and drinking. Without change, your attitudes may hold you back from changing your drinking.
