Alcoholism is a dangerous dependence that can lead to serious and dangerous consequences to death. The more a person drinks, the harder it is for him to overcome the habit without the help of experts. In 3 stages of alcoholism alreadyAlmost impossibleDeal with yourself. However, for experienced doctors, any task is fulfilled. Only the patient's desire is necessary.
The causes of alcoholism
To get rid of dependence, you ended up once and for all, you need to understand the causes of alcoholism and work toward you. Relatives and relatives usually do not understand why a person cannot simply drink, because he has a good life, family, work, etc. Psychologists will help answer this question.
Before solving the problem of dependence, it is necessary to determine why the patient uses alcohol, what is the role of alcohol for him at this stage. The reasons can be divided into various groups:
- Psychological. As a rule, it is psychological discomfort that does not allow the patient to play a bad habit. This can be injury to children, complexes, work problems and relationships, constant stress, depression. They lead to the use of large doses of alcohol. Thus a person drown out emotional pain, but in fact only exacerbates his position.
- Social. Each person determines for himself whether or not drinks alcohol, no one, as a rule, the strength. However, advertising, family habits, environment and national traditions have a great impact. If it was customary to drink in the family every night, it is likely to become an alcoholic.
- Hereditary. Heredity plays an important role. This does not mean that parents who drink will definitely have a child who drinks, but there is a gene responsible for developing dependence. The probability of becoming an alcoholic in the presence of overloaded heredity increases.
Dependence is believed to be stronger in people with brain injury as well as with mental illness, as it is more difficult for them to resist the habit. In treatment, there is an effect on all these factors to reduce the possibility of relapse.
What do you need to know?
If you decide to combat alcoholism, you need to remember some important nuances:
- Getting rid of alcohol dependence cannot be simple. This is a long struggle with yourself.
- Do not follow the advice of friends and relatives. They don't always help. There is no universal remedy. Each person is individual, someone plays immediately and forever, and someone has to try for a long time.
- The most important thing is to realize the danger of alcohol. Although it is considered an antidepressant or harmless entertainment, it will not be possible to abandon a bad habit.
- Support for loved ones is very important. It is difficult to be alone in such a situation. Therefore, it is worth talking to family members. If it is difficult for them to understand what is happening, you can seek help from a psychologist.
An independent path to recovery begins to perform the problem. A person understands andaccepts the factthat he has a problem. But even with consciousness, he may not stop drinking. In addition, readiness to change, the desire to change life, motivation and lack of self -deception is also needed. One person learns to relax without alcohol and gradually loses their physical and psychological dependence on alcohol.
How to understand what is time to play?
Any systematic consumption of alcohol is considered addiction. Alcoholism can develop slowly for years, but during the time when a person drinks (even in small doses), he has several body disorders, the cells are damaged and the internal organs suffer.
There are severalanxious signswho say it's time to tie with alcohol:
- Frequent hangover. If every time after drinking alcohol is bad in the morning, the head hurts, the nausea appears, you need to think that it is already difficult for the body to take alcohol, and the liver does not deal with its division.
- Lack of control. It becomes difficult for a person to control the amount of drunk. He cannot stop and continues to drink, without understanding whether he drank a lot or not.
- A narrowing of the circle of acquaintances and friends. If all non -unavoidable people retire gradually from the communication circle, and only those with whom you can drink have been left, this is a bad sign.
- Violations of work from internal organs. A person may feel pain in the abdomen, heartburn, periodically interrupts the work of the intestine, nausea appears. In addition, against the backdrop of alcoholism, tachycardia, migraine and hypertension are not uncommon.
- Mood swings and behavior. Ethanol negatively affects the nervous system; Therefore, over time, a person becomes more aggressive, irritated, sensitive. His mood is constantly jumping from cheerful to depressive.
These signs indicate a persistent dependence. Alcohol has already begun to change a person's life and personality. You need to contact a narcologist, psychologist and undergo a treatment course until health consequences become irreversible.
How to stop drinking?
Domestic ways to combat dependence can give a result as long as the patient has enough willpower and has a strong desire to recover. Do not use the help of dubious folkloric recipes, food supplements etc. but there are several recommendations that contribute to get rid of alcohol dependence:
- You need to find a hobby. This advice seems banal, but it works. If a person is in love with something, he has a goal (jumping with a few, he learns to dance, sing, etc. ), he will not have to drink from boredom. However, do not force yourself to play sports or, as it does not cause interest. Choose a hobby that will appeal.
- Eliminate provocative factors. It is necessary to limit communication with friends who often drink and offer to drink, take a vacation at work, if there are problems with colleagues, a break in a relationship, if they have caused pain, etc. While in a person's life there is a source of pain, it will be harder to stop drinking.
- Recognize addiction. You cannot comfort yourself with imaginary self -control. Dependence is only the impossibility of control. One person agrees to drink, although he thinks he can always refuse, does not observe prohibitions, even if he is dangerous to health (for example, taking antibiotics), he tries to heal mental wounds. This must be recognized and recognized.
The most dangerous in domestic treatment is self -reception. In the early successes, one person thinks that now has everything under control and rewards himself with a small dose of alcohol. But this is not recommended to do this, because dependence develops quickly again. Therefore, if you are not confident in your skills or have been broken several times, contact the clinic. There is no way to find alcohol at the hospital.
What is motivation and why is it important?
Regardless of whether you are treated at home or in a narcotic center,Very importantThe role is played by the search for what to stop drinking. Sometimes a person finds him on his own, but if he doesn't know how to dive, psychologists will help. They also support the motivation so that the patient does not return to their previous habits.
The strongest motivation is considered:
- Family. Many stopped drinking precisely to preserve the family. You can abandon alcohol for the unborn or fear of loneliness, because alcoholism in most cases leads to divorces.
- Career. To build a good career, you need to have a good reputation. If a person constantly drinks and is sick with a hangover, he won't trust him at all important. Ethanol also negatively affects memory, intellectual skills, which does not give the chance to promote career ladder.
- Health. This is a strong but short motivation. While the alcoholic feels bad, he is afraid of complications or death, he does not drink. But as soon as the state of health is normalized, it can return to old habits. It is necessary to clearly understand that even small doses of alcohol are dangerous, harming the body, only in this case it will be possible to get rid of dependence.
- Fatigue. Interestingly, alcohol fatigue can be a sufficiently strong motivation. At some point, a person is bored with the drink, it seems that uninteresting vacation, he wants to change. It is difficult to change something alone, because the question arises where to move and what to do for these changes.
In addition, in the early stages of alcoholism, reputation can also serve as motivation. In the third step, a person no longer pays attention to him who will think of him, his only goal is to find alcohol. But before the development of strongphysical dependenceThe fear that people (at work, in the family) recognize and will be condemned. Therefore, many hide their alcoholism.
It is possible to find motivation, but it is better to keep it with a psychologist. Don't be afraid or ashamed of psychological help. Up to several sessions can significantly change the course of thoughts.
