This blog is a collection of Pocket Wisdom Insights that enable you to recognize and understand addictive and alcoholic behaviors and personalities.

Informational Insights

The Alcoholic addict personality is fear-based.  This means those with this type of personality live in a world of fear, fear is their normal state that controls and dominates the way they relate to themselves and others.

Fear is a perpetual cycle which many people learn to live in, in order to survive and adapt to the world as we know it today.  Pocket Wisdom Insights offers models and tools to understand Fear, so we can do something about it.  Learn about Fear in the video, (click here for the video).

The fear-based personality results from a genetic and environmental factors related to the Reward Deficiency Syndrome.

Fear based brain creates a fear based personality which results in obsessive, compulsive and excessive and addictive based personalities i.e. alcoholism, drug addiction, co-dependency, eating disorders etc. All addictions are a drive deep within a person to be in control of everything and everybody by directly controlling or refusing to do what is needed. Typically seen as passive/aggressive behavior.

Addiction and Alcoholism effects and impacts the brain of the user – both short-term and long-term. Cognitive abilities of a chronic alcoholic takes at least a year you begin to normalize. Alcoholism and addiction result in a predictable pathway to fear and control… loss of control and dysfunction.

Hence many recovering addicts learn they “cannot trust their thinker” in the early stages of their recovery.

“My addiction built steadily and, before I realized it, I had become a morning as well as an afternoon drinker. I decided to stop drinking. I lay awake most of that night, and by noon the next day every bone in my body ached. In a blind panic, I nervously poured a glass full of gin, my hands shaking so violently that I spilled half the bottle. As I gulped it down, I could feel the agony gradually lessening. Then I finally knew the terrible truth: I was hooked. I couldn’t quit.”

—Faye

Alcohol excessive short-term and long-term drinking has been linked to brain impairment, known as alcohol related brain impairment (ARBI):

Alcohol misuse may cause alcohol related brain impairment (ARBI) or brain injury. ‘Binge drinking’, drinking in excess of recommended levels in a single session or heavy drinking over a long time may lead to ARBI. Problems with memory, thinking abilities and physical coordination are possible symptoms of ARBI.

Alcohol is one of the many causes of acquired brain injury. The problems caused by alcohol misuse are together called alcohol related brain impairment (ARBI). A person with ARBI might experience problems with memory, thinking-related abilities and physical coordination.

More than 2,500 Australians are treated for ARBI every year, with approximately 200,000 Australians currently undiagnosed. Around two million Australians are potentially at risk of developing ARBI due to their drinking habits.

Just how much damage is done depends on a number of factors, which can include your age, gender, nutrition and your overall alcohol consumption. A younger person has a better chance of improvement because of their greater powers of recovery. However, the effects of ARBI can be permanent for many people.

Structural damage to the brain resulting from chronic alcohol abuse can be observed in different ways: Results of autopsy show that patients with a history of chronic alcohol abuse have smaller, less massive, and more shrunken brains than non-alcoholic adults of the same age and gender.

  • The findings of brain imaging techniques, such as CT scans consistently show an association between heavy drinking and physical brain damage, even in the absence of chronic liver disease or dementia.
  • Brain shrinking is especially extensive in the cortex of the frontal lobe – the location of higher cognitive faculties.
  • The vulnerability to this frontal lobe shrinkage increases with age.
  • After 40 some of the changes my be irreversible.
  • Repeated imaging of a group of alcoholics who continued drinking over a 5-year period showed progressive brain shrinkage that significantly exceeded normal age-related shrinkage. Moreover, the rate of shrinkage correlated with the amount of alcohol consumed.
