Today's alcohol addiction not only affects men, but also affects fairness. In addition, unlike male alcoholism, female alcoholism is more difficult to treat.
Ladies suffering from this addiction will soon lose their social status and jobs, and become boring to the opposite sex.
If measures are not taken in time, the possibility of women returning to a fulfilling life in the future will be very slim.
Women can quit drinking in many ways. It is recommended to choose a treatment method with a specialist.
Causes of addiction
In modern society, women lead an active social life. Not only do they raise children and run their families, but they also work hard to move up the career ladder and compete successfully with men. All these will not only lead to physical fatigue, but also moral fatigue.
In this case, one of the quickest and most affordable ways to relax is to drink a few glasses of wine. If women drink regularly, they will develop a habit over time. Experts warn that due to the particularity of the physiological structure and endocrine system, the process of alcohol dependence is different for men and women. In most cases, female alcoholism is related to psychological factors.
The main reasons for the development of this addiction are:
- Regular drinking is a family tradition. If a child sees his family drinking alcohol from an early age, he will also regard this behavior as the norm.
- Daily problems. Dismissal, property damage, and huge debts are often causes of stress, and women struggle with drunkenness.
- Complex, dissatisfied with his appearance.
- Dissatisfied with personal life. If a woman does not have a loved one, she will feel lonely-drinking a bottle of wine at night can help solve the problem.
- Family problems (lack of understanding with husband, children, parents). The easiest way to temporarily forget about problems with your loved ones and find spiritual harmony is to drink a few glasses of beer or wine, or drink something stronger.
A woman often starts drinking because of her husband. If a loved one drinks alcohol regularly, a woman can accompany him regularly, which will lead to the development of alcohol dependence over time.
Characteristics of female alcoholism
Although the alcohol dependence of women is very similar to that of men, its pathology still has its own characteristics. The main difference lies in the specificity of alcohol addiction. In the process of research and experiments, it has been proved that sex is more addictive to alcohol than men. If it takes about 7-10 years for a man to become a chronic alcohol, then for a woman, this period is only 4-5 years.
The symptoms of female alcoholism develop rapidly. Drunkenness is usually accompanied by the following symptoms:
- The lady wanted to drink for any reason, but did not drink;
- Have a negative reaction to condemnation;
- Loss of appetite-women use wine instead of food;
- Poor appearance (dark circles, puffiness, wrinkles appear). In order to correct this situation, women will put on gorgeous makeup, but still look untidy and unkempt;
- Rude and aggressive behavior, with a tendency to lose your temper;
- Indifferent to what is happening.
attention!Unlike men, drunk women develop encephalopathy earlier, leading to subsequent personality deterioration and dementia.
Foreign aid treatment
There are several ways to stop women from drinking. The fight against addiction is carried out through coding, the use of special drugs, or through psychological influence. It should be remembered that if the treatment is performed under the supervision of a professional, the probability of successful treatment will increase significantly. Also during this period, the support of the patient's relatives and friends is also very important.
Psychological impact
One of the best ways to help women who drink in the first place is to code through hypnosis. The advantage of this method of combating drunkenness lies not only in efficiency, but also in safety. Since the technology does not involve the use of drugs, the possibility of complications will be very small. But it needs to be understood that the effect of this coding directly depends on the doctor's experience, level of knowledge and skills.
The essence of treatment is that during treatment, the doctor puts the patient under hypnosis and puts the patient in a state of stress and tells the patient how alcohol affects the body and what will happen if the patient does not stop and continue to drink. Due to psychological effects, women will have a persistent negative attitude towards alcohol. Even thinking about alcohol can cause unpleasant feelings, because a person realizes that alcohol abuse can cause irreparable damage to the body.
coding
If the question is about how to get rid of the alcohol addiction of women who have been drinking for many years, the best solution is coding. The process involves inserting a torpedo ampoule with a special alcohol blocker or injection subcutaneously. In most cases, the active ingredient of these drugs is disulfiram, a substance that blocks the production of enzymes responsible for alcohol processing.
If the person being coded drank at least a little alcohol, they would react after a few minutes with the following symptoms:
- Nausea and vomiting;
- Dizziness, headache;
- Tinnitus, blurred vision;
- Increased body temperature and increased sweating;
- Trembling of limbs;
- Tachycardia, arrhythmia;
- Severe weakness until loss of consciousness.
Only by introducing an antidote can the symptoms be eliminated. This method helps cope with alcohol addiction, because a woman who has experienced this condition begins to worry about her life and understands that if she continues to drink, it may lead to death.
Before the operation, the doctor will explain all the details and features of the treatment to the patient. If the woman agrees to receive treatment, you need to purify the alcohol in the body before coding. The duration of detoxification varies from 5 to 10 days (taking into account the stage of alcohol dependence). During this period, women should not drink alcohol. If necessary, the process of removing ethanol from the body can be accelerated with the help of special drugs.
The coding period ranges from 6 months to 5 years, and is individually selected for each patient based on age, health status, and addiction stage.
Remember!Only with the patient’s consent can torpedo code or special drugs be introduced
drug
Pharmaceutical companies produce various products that help to get rid of female alcoholism. The composition and cost of these drugs are different, and the principle of action is also different.
Although some products can be used without a prescription, it is strongly recommended that you consult your doctor and make sure that there are no contraindications before use. It should be remembered that independent use of such drugs (without medical supervision) can cause serious health complications.
Before using alcohol blockers, you need to understand one function-since contact of active ingredients with ethanol can cause unpleasant symptoms (such as coding), their positive effects can be achieved. Only when women drink strong alcohol can they cope well with drunkenness.
If a girl is addicted to beer, such treatment is meaningless. This is because when drinking beer, the concentration of ethanol in the blood is very low, so there will be no necessary reactions.
Family wrestling
It is quite difficult for a woman to quit drinking by herself, because it requires extraordinary willpower and patience. Practice has shown that only at the initial stage of addiction, and only under the strong desire of women, can they cope with addiction at home. The effectiveness of treatment depends to a large extent on the individual characteristics of the organism. The most popular and effective recipes are:
- Pour 10 grams of chopped ram branches into a cup of boiling water, then put it on the stove and simmer for about 15 minutes. After 2 hours, take the broth, 20 ml each time, until nausea develops. Before treatment, women need to abstain from alcohol for 3 days;
- 5 tablespoons of St. John’s Wort need to be poured into 500 ml of boiling water and boiled in a water bath for 30 minutes. Drink this product before breakfast and lunch, 250 ml. Treatment lasts for 10 days;
- Pour 2 tablespoons of bearberry into a cup of boiling water and simmer on the fire for 15 minutes. The prepared broth is drunk during the day. The treatment time is one month.
Nevertheless, although the recipe provided is simple, it is more effective to consult an anesthesiologist.
Disadvantages of alcoholism self-treatment
It is necessary to understand that alcohol dependence is a disease. Attempts to overcome this addiction at home often end in failure because the person does not have enough willpower.
Home remedies that use drugs to treat alcoholism are considered particularly dangerous. If the patient chooses the wrong drug or fails to calculate the appropriate dose, the drug will not only not achieve the desired effect, but will cause serious health problems.
It cannot be ruled out that this treatment is fatal.
in conclusion
It is possible to get rid of alcohol dependence forever, but only if treatment is carried out in a timely manner. This is why women should be taken to an experienced anesthesiologist immediately when there are first signs of suspiciousness. Well, of course, in this difficult time, in addition to professionally helping this lady, the support of family and friends is also very important.
