Alcohol addiction is a serious disease that inhibits the will and disturbs the human mind. Therefore, the drunk should be treated like a patient and nothing else. It is necessary to remember that using scandals, persuasion, and tantrums to stop alcoholics will not work. This can only come at the cost of great effort and self-control. When taking action, the wife must be prepared for an uphill battle, because it is not easy to stop the husband from drinking.
Regarding female alcoholism, the situation is even worse. Husbands, children, and alcoholic relatives should understand that persuading women is much more difficult than men. Often, addicts categorically deny that they have a problem, think they are completely healthy, and do not want to change anything. In her opinion, the treatment seems meaningless, and she believes that all persuasion and suggestions from relatives are personal insults.
Important! This article will discuss how to make a person stop drinking without going to a court or a mental hospital. If the alcoholic shows signs of a mental disorder, or if he poses a threat to others, he must seek outside help as soon as possible.
How to talk to an alcoholic
It is difficult to force alcoholics to turn to experts, where ordinary conversations or ultimatum demands cannot be resolved. You need to choose a certain way of talking and gain patience and patience. For this reason, anesthesiologists and psychotherapists recommend following certain recommendations.
Wait "X" hours. It is useless to talk about treating a drunk person, because in this state, he is very satisfied with his life and does not see the real problem. In the morning after drinking, you should not start a similar conversation, because in a hangover state, the alcoholic will agree to all the arguments and promise that you want to hear everything about him.
The tone of the dialogue is also important. The most important thing is to refuse accusations and accusations, which will only worsen the situation and subconsciously make the patient disadvantage you. Don't raise your voice and keep calm, because alcohol can seriously damage the structure of the nervous system, so conversation can easily turn into another scandal, or even physical violence for drinkers.
How to influence alcoholics
Convincing alcoholics is not only a problem for him, but also a problem for the environment. To do this, drunken relatives must be patient, patient, and find a way to figure out how to make their loved ones drink too much.
It is impossible to persuade euphoric and satisfied alcoholics to stop drinking quickly. It is not appropriate to have educational conversations in hangover syndrome. In this state, although the patient will make various promises to end the conversation as soon as possible and save some alcohol, the patient will not pay attention to persuasion.
When the drunk faces the negative consequences of "intoxicating" drinks, it is best to start a conversation. It could be:
- Impregnation wages;
- The crashed car;
- was fired;
- Family issues.
You cannot succeed by accusing and blaming. Therefore, even if you really want to, you cannot put drinkers on the road to correction. In order to persuade the alcoholic, here are some tips:
- One should calmly talk to an alcoholic, without raising the tone. Shouting is not advisable, because such actions by relatives will cause unpleasant reactions from drunks. The nervous system of alcoholics is unstable and rife with scandals or beatings, which can explain this fact.
- When talking to an addict, you must be confident and firm to show that you are right. This will enable the opponent to understand the severity of the situation and the firm's opinion of the interlocutor;
- There is no need to cry and pity for the life of being unable to work due to the negligence of alcoholic beverages. These actions will not bring positive results;
- There is no need to pressure the patient with hollow pressure. If you promise to do something while drunk continues, then you should definitely fulfill the ultimatum.
What if one of your spouses drinks alcohol?
A spouse's abuse of alcohol caused family tensions, and it was not the reason that forced him to escape from the addiction.
This is prohibited by law and may cause significant damage to the health of alcoholic beverages, especially if you add toxic disulfiram-based drugs to your food without his consent and the prior consent of a doctor.
The wife or mother of an alcoholic should not repeat the most common female mistakes:
- First, you need to realize that alcoholics cannot be trusted. For the 100th time, he agreed that giving up drinking was a myth.
- It is impossible to threaten in an empty manner. If your words are not supported by actions, it is best not to speak them. They persuaded the alcoholics to get away with it.
- Offending your spouse is unacceptable, and you need to be able to wake up his sense of sense in his next unreasonable trick (wasting money, coming home late).
- In addition to the unattainable threat, you can also cause fear of the drunkard’s imminent death, and point out his health symptoms, which may be characteristic of liver cirrhosis or cancer.
- It is necessary to stop protecting drunks from being blamed by others. This will undoubtedly cause shame and feelings of regret.
- It is necessary to limit the ways for drinkers to obtain family money, rather than not drinking for a penny.
- Find out the cause of drunkenness, especially for women. If you do not eliminate the cause of addiction, you cannot get rid of it.
Motivation to maintain a sober lifestyle
The hope of saving the family can persuade alcoholics to stop drinking.
In order to inspire the alcoholic to fight against the green snake, it is necessary to convey to him all the benefits of a sober life and what benefits he will get after he stops drinking. There are different motivations.
You can focus on family well-being, because alcoholism almost always destroys the family. The hope of saving the family can persuade alcoholics to stop drinking. Before alcohol dependence is ignored, it is necessary to try to communicate the need for treatment to patients.
You can try to talk about the health of the drinker. Explain to him that you are seriously worried that you have noticed how bad his health is. Without accusations or cursing, it is necessary to explain stomach and blood pressure problems, heart disease-all these are caused by the abuse of alcoholic beverages.
If a person wanted to work before and liked it, then you can try to put pressure on this factor. Drinkers always have job problems, from simple dismissal to dismissal under the "alcohol" clause. If this happens, it is almost impossible for a person to find a normal job. Gently remind your spouse of his dreams when he is not drinking, and his career plan.
Without a certain motivation, it is almost impossible to get treatment for abstainers. An addicted person should understand why he needs to get rid of addiction and what privileges it will bring him. He should consciously want to resign for important things, not single-mindedly.
Health
When talking to an alcoholic husband, you should try to express your concerns about his deteriorating health. It’s important to calmly explain that during the drunken period, the appearance of the alcoholic shows negative changes:
- facial hair,
- Puffiness
- beer belly;
- Insomnia.
Alcoholics were also informed of changes in personality and behavior. You can compare the health status of alcoholics during a healthy lifestyle with the current status. Together with the patient, try to evaluate the changes that have occurred and convince them of the usefulness of treating the disease.
Alcoholism is a destructive method of family relationships and often leads to divorce. Until the condition of the drunk or alcoholic worsens, there is no chance to save the family. If alcoholics stop performing their pioneering duties, it is necessary to try to convince drinkers that they need treatment:
- Passive to spouse;
- Not interested in children;
- Don't care about the material welfare of the family;
- is aggressive.
tried to convince the patient that he is the love of the family. The main purpose of this incident is to calmly and understandably convey the idea of treatment.
It is not easy to find a new job in this situation. Even if it succeeds, the job will be low-paid and unskilled. In this case, to help the drinker, he must be persuaded to change his lifestyle and explain how much his life has changed since he started drinking. Without motivation, it is difficult to easily convince a drunk person to seek treatment. It is important that the drinker understand that this is exactly what he needs.
Can a person quit drinking by himself?
We want to warn you: self-treatment for alcoholics is rarely effective. Sometimes, with the help of character and will, it is possible if the dependence on alcohol has not reached the physical stage. The basis of quitting drug addiction is the hope to save a family, find a job, enjoy status in society, and achieve another goal. The realization of this goal will be a reward for the efforts made. As a help to yourself, it is worth starting to practice proper nutrition, jogging and weekly bathing routines.
In order to combat alcoholism, folk and drug treatment methods are widely used. Both options have advantages and disadvantages. When it is impossible to convince the drinker, husband or son of the harm of this habit, practice is usually done. There are some pharmacological and folk remedies that can cause extreme aversion to alcohol. They are harmless and will not cause physical addiction or rejection. They contain substances that are completely incompatible with alcohol. They are added to the drink or food of drinkers.
After drinking alcoholic beverages, they can cause uncomfortable reactions: vomiting, nausea, dizziness, etc. The most common folk remedies are:
- Thyme Broth;
- Mutton soup;
- St. John's Wort Soup.
In ancient times, there was an interesting secret method to persuade to stop drinking-dung mushrooms. Mushrooms contain substances that prevent the conversion of ethanol to acetaldehyde. If you eat mushrooms and then drink alcohol, the person will have symptoms of severe poisoning. In this way, our grandmother unknowingly stopped her husband from drinking. But in modern reality, it is best not to use this method, especially because of the great progress made in medicine.
How to quit drinking-the right motivation
To persuade alcoholics, a communication strategy should be developed:
- No more regret and cover up for drinkers. One should not expect that alcoholic beverages will stop drinking by themselves. The nanny solves the problem for him is beneficial to alcoholics; as a result, he will not stop drinking, but will get rid of daily troubles;
- You can't keep getting drunk, so as not to make him live a happy life. It should be understood that hysteria and unnecessary discussions about alcohol use will exacerbate this problem, because after the next scandal, the drunk will work harder for the bottle.
- Stay calm and calm when dealing with caregivers. At the moment of enlightenment, the alcoholic talked about recovery and recovery from bad habits. It is allowed to call the anesthesiologist at home.
- You need to support the drinker's sober desires, show the joy of recovery, and try to find hobbies for him. This is the new goal of life.
Only certain circumstances can be exceptions in this order:
- The patient is dangerous to himself and others; The alcoholic lost the ability to take care of himself;
- The alcoholic's mental state is very serious. If there is no medical intervention, he will die.
Many people are interested in whether it is really possible to free their loved ones from addiction. After compulsory hospitalization of the patient, measures should be taken to prevent fever, and then the patient should be discharged from the hospital and sent home. Practice shows that even after severe drinking, patients will still regain their old illnesses.
It is worth noting that it is impossible to secretly cure sick alcohol from him. Usually, close relatives of patients seek help from therapists, psychologists and other non-traditional methods. Any method and action to restore alcoholic beverages without alcohol permit is not only useless, but also fatal.
In addition, the doctor will conduct an examination. The development of a comprehensive cure for the patient strategy will enable you to move towards your goal purposefully. One treatment or medication will not cure the drunk. In this matter, first of all, it is necessary to determine the cause of the motivation for alcoholism.
How should you treat an alcoholic to get him to agree to treatment?
If someone denies dependence on the "green snake", he needs to be convinced of the opposite. How to persuade alcoholics to clearly understand the problems? For this, you need to talk to him seriously, and you should have a conversation with a sober person. What you need to pay attention to is:
- People who drink alcohol often have memory impairment. It is worth remembering that he forgot the unpleasant events in life.
- The desire to drink often appears, which is unreasonable. It is necessary to explain to him that for ordinary people, troubles at work or at home will not cause overeating.
- It's worth checking out that the alcoholic has a clear head. Depression and emptiness are signs of addiction. He needs to be clearly aware of this.
- Alcoholics are out of control and usually do not understand this norm. Therefore, a person often eats orgies.
The conversation must be conducted once. It is best to do this when the alcoholic is about to talk. For example, the day before he messed up something and felt guilt. Every argument should be filled with confidence. You cannot speak loudly, lower your pity, and resort to threats.
Usually, during the poisoning period, the alcoholic behaves improperly. Moreover, this situation was completely forgotten and "thrown out" from memory. In order for him to see himself from the side at these moments, video evidence can be recorded. The drinker will not like what he sees, he must come to a conclusion and agree to receive treatment.
How to adjust the treatment of alcoholics:
- will not send out threats that you cannot satisfy;
- hints at how serious your loved one’s behavior is when drunk;
- Always have confidence in his ability to quit drinking;
- Let us know from a loved one that disease should be blamed on everything, and can and should be fought.
- does not solve the drinking problem of alcoholics.
tells us how difficult it is to see a person drunk, and how unpleasant it is to hear a stranger tell the antics of an alcoholic. He must realize that close people can become addicted.
Any problems caused by drunkenness must be corrected by the alcoholic. Paying off debts during binge eating, reconciliation with relatives, showdowns with bosses-all this is up to the culprit himself.
Any valid reason for quitting addiction can be provided. Family happiness is a strong reason to start treatment.
Recently, many experts have concluded that alcoholism is a disease. How to prove this statement and convince to start treatment:
- Diagnose. Any disease has symptoms, including alcoholism. It manifests as an irresistible craving for alcohol, a change in behavior, and a rejection of craving for strong alcohol.
- Chemical addiction. Because of her, a person started to abuse alcohol. Everyone has problems with their family and work, but only dependents will get drunk.
- Disease progression. The development of alcoholism follows a foreseeable situation. In the end, a person eventually degenerates.
- Alcoholism is a chronic disease. Therefore, people who have not consumed alcohol for many years will be broken down from a glass of vodka.
- The result is death. If treatment is not started on time, the patient will die before the prescribed time. The cause is usually accompanied by diseases: liver cirrhosis, heart disease, cardiomyopathy and other diseases.
Treatment of alcoholism takes a long time. You need to be patient and don't give up under any circumstances. Some people are willing to code, which can help many addicts. The main thing is that one understands a simple fact-drinking is absolutely forbidden. This is an addiction that reappears even after drinking a few grams of alcohol. Therefore, for such people, soberness should become the norm.
How to find the cause of alcoholism
In two cases, the treatment of alcohol addiction will be meaningless: if a person is satisfied with everything and wants to drink further, or if there is a good reason to seek the comfort of alcoholic beverages. If the irritating factors are eliminated, it will be easier to cure the alcohol in alcohol. He might give up drinking without coding.
The causes of frequent drunkenness are usually obvious, so they can be easily identified. Usually, the alcoholic himself will call them in a confidential conversation. If you can't ask him yourself, you can do it with the help of a psychologist. Experts will find out why a person is dissatisfied with their life and will provide necessary advice.
The most common cause of alcoholism:
- Boring, boring work or extra free time;
- Continue to drink alcohol with friends, relatives or colleagues, and gradually develop dependence on alcohol;
- Unstable personal life, family quarrels, recent breakdown in interpersonal relationships, betrayal or loss of loved ones;
- Lack of work or housing, poverty, unstable life, hopelessness;
- Burdened with heredity, the tendency to drink alcohol.
Ways to help alcoholics return to their normal lives
If you have successfully convinced an alcoholic to receive treatment, you should immediately follow the steps in the plan. Once the patient agrees, you need to make an appointment with the anesthesiologist so that the specialist can prescribe the necessary treatment plan in this case. To troubleshoot, remove all alcohol from the house and rule out drunks who might meet with former drinking companions.
went well on paper, so don’t assume that you will get the consent of your negligent alcohol husband the first time you try. This is a rather difficult task, requiring a lot of patience, even in a woman's cunning and clever place. However, when the results are realized, your life will change dramatically, and this will be a reward you deserve.
There are many clinics that can compulsory hospitalization of patients through court orders. The treatment process itself is divided into several stages:
- An inspirational conversation with a psychologist. In some cases, this measure can help patients become aware of addiction and agree to voluntary treatment.
- Mandatory hospitalization in the inpatient unit.
- Detox program.
- Rehabilitation (including drug coding, psychological support, hospitalization).
- Social adaptation. Help former alcoholics find a job, learn a new career, and provide psychological support.
- Work with relatives. This includes explanatory conversations, participation in self-help groups, and personal consultations with psychologists.
The best solution is to take alcoholics to specialized paid clinics that provide mandatory treatment services. The disadvantage of this method is that maintaining alcohol addiction in the clinic for a long time requires a lot of financial investment. Therefore, spending a day in the hospital will be expensive. The price depends on the region and the grade of the hospital.
Another method is to place the patient in a mental hospital. This measure is considered extreme. You can only go to the psychiatric clinic based on the decision of the court or the psychiatric team (the on-site expert decides whether you need an emergency hospitalization). In the latter case, there must be a police squad-they will record existences that pose a real threat to the health of the patient or those around them.
Some people think it is possible to forcibly stop drinking at home. Various herbal soups are considered particularly effective-they reduce the craving for alcohol.
This is one of the recipes. The following ingredients in equal proportions (10 grams each):
- Motherwort.
- Horsetail.
- Cow and sorrel root.
- Mint.
Put the herbs in an enamel bowl, pour a cup of boiling water, and heat it in a water bath for 15 minutes. The broth obtained is filtered and consumed in small amounts during the day. It is not recommended to prepare drinks for future use-they should always be brewed fresh. If you want to secretly cure a drunk person, you can add a small amount of infusion to alcoholic beverages.
You can also buy ready-made herbal mixtures. It is famous for these attributes:
- suppressed the desire to drink;
- Enhance the protection of the body;
- Stimulate the immune system;
- Help eliminate toxins and clean the liver.
This drink is particularly convenient because it can be brewed and consumed without restriction all day long like ordinary herbal tea.
If someone close to you is trying to influence alcoholics to receive medication and psychotherapy, it is important to decide to take further action. The main task at this moment is to increase the motivation for a healthy lifestyle. Most addicted people have no sobriety meaning. The right lifestyle is daunting because alcoholics do not know what to do next and how to enjoy life. To help such a person, someone close should:
- Convinced that the alcoholic is a weak-willed egoist, a baby. It is the wrong way to satisfy the drunkard's desire just to prevent him from drinking again. The patient needs to make his own decision before he can enjoy this action;
- Keep the enthusiasm for a sober life and persuade patients to write it down to get daily motivation support;
- Rescue the patient from the usual social circle, for this, it is best to move to a new residence;
- Let the former alcoholic stay interested in a new interest and don’t let him have free time to think about a boring life. To do this, change his job, take him away with a hobby, exercise.
Be consistent in your campaign and view.
- Show examples of important people who are addicted to alcohol.
- Go to a psychotherapist and anesthesiologist together.
- Adjust your personal status in family life, from sacrifice or over-control to the opposite.
Please remember that only by correctly constructing drug addicts’ motivation for treatment and a sober lifestyle can patients be persuaded to accept compulsory treatment.
