How to quit drinking

Alcoholism is a dangerous dependence that can lead to serious and dangerous consequences, up to death. The longer a person drinks, the more difficult it is for him to overcome the habit without the help of specialists. At 3 stages of alcoholism alreadyAlmost impossibleCope yourself. However, for experienced doctors, any task is fulfilled. Only the patient's desire is required.

The causes of alcoholism

To get rid of dependence, it turned out once and for all, you need to understand the causes of alcoholism and work in their direction. Relatives and relatives often do not understand why a person cannot just not drink, because he has a good life, family, work, etc. Psychologists will help to answer this question.

Before solving the problem of dependence, it is necessary to determine what reason the patient uses alcohol, what role alcohol plays for him at this stage. The reasons can be divided into several groups:

• Psychological. As a rule, it is psychological discomfort that does not allow the patient to throw a bad habit. This can be children's injury, complexes, problems at work and in relationships, constant stress, depression. They lead to the use of large doses of alcohol. A person thus drowns out emotional pain, but in fact only exacerbates his position.
• Social. Each person determines for himself whether to drink or not drink alcohol, no one, as a rule, forces him. However, advertising, family habits, environment, national traditions have a great impact. If it was customary to drink in the family every evening, it is likely to become an alcoholic.
• Hereditary. Heredity plays an important role. This does not mean that drinking parents will definitely have a drinking child, but there is a gene responsible for the development of dependence. The probability of becoming an alcoholic in the presence of burdened heredity increases.

It is believed that the dependence is stronger in people with brain injuries, as well as with mental illness, since 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 you need to know?

If you decide to fight alcoholism yourself, you need to remember a few important nuances:

• To get rid of alcohol dependence cannot be simple. This is a long struggle with oneself.
• Do not follow the advice of friends and relatives. They do not always help. There is no universal remedy. Each person is individual, someone throws immediately and forever, and someone has to try for a long time.
• The most important thing is to realize the danger of alcohol. While he 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’s hard to stay 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 realize the problem. A person understands andaccepts the factthat he has a problem. But even with awareness, he may not stop drinking. In addition, readiness for changes, the desire to change life, motivation and lack of self -deception are also required. A person learns to relax without alcohol and gradually loses its physical and psychological dependence on alcohol.

How to understand what it's time to throw?

Any systematic consumption of alcohol is considered addiction. Alcoholism can develop slowly, for years, but during the time that a person drinks (even in small doses), he has various disorders in the body, cells are damaged, and internal organs suffer.

There are severalanxious signswho say that it is time to tie up with alcohol:

• Frequent hangover. If every time after drinking alcohol is bad in the morning, the head hurts, nausea appears, you need to think that it is already difficult for the body to take alcohol, and the liver does not cope with its splitting.
• Lack of control. It becomes difficult for a person to control the amount of drunk. He cannot stop and continues to drink, not understanding whether he drank a lot or not.
• A narrowing of the circle of acquaintances and friends. If all non -navigable people gradually retired from the circle of communication, and only those with whom you can drink were left, this is a bad sign.
• Violations of the work of internal organs. A person can feel pain in the abdomen, heartburn, he periodically disrupts the work of the intestine, nausea appears. Also, against the background of alcoholism, tachycardia, migraine, hypertension are not uncommon.
• Changes in mood and behavior. Ethanol negatively affects the nervous system, so over time, a person becomes more aggressive, irritable, touchy. His mood constantly jumps from cheerful to depressive.

These signs indicate a persistent dependence. Alcohol has already begun to change the life and personality of a person. You need to contact a narcologist, psychologist and undergo a course of treatment until health consequences have become irreversible.

How to quit drinking yourself?

Home ways to combat dependence can give a result, provided that the patient has enough willpower and has a strong desire to recover. Do not resort to the help of dubious folk recipes, dietary supplements, etc. , but there are several recommendations that contribute to getting rid of alcohol dependence:

• You need to find a hobby. This advice seems banal, but it works. If a person is passionate about something, he has a goal (jumping with a parachute, learn to dance, sing, etc. ), he will not have to drink from boredom. However, do not force yourself to play sports or in that it does not cause interest. Choose a hobby that will appeal.
• Eliminate provoking 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 caused pain, etc. While in a person’s life there is a source of pain, it will be more difficult to stop drinking.
• Recognize addiction. You cannot console yourself with imaginary self -control. Dependence is just the impossibility of control. A person agrees to drink, although he thinks that he can always refuse, does not observe prohibitions, even if it is dangerous to health (for example, taking antibiotics), he tries to heal any mental wounds. This must be recognized and recognized.

The most dangerous in home treatment is self -deception. At the first successes, a person thinks that now he has everything under control and rewards himself with a small dose of alcohol. But this is not recommended to do this, because the dependence develops rapidly again. Therefore, if you are not confident in your abilities or have already broken several times, contact the clinic. There is no way to find alcohol in the hospital.

What is motivation and why is it important?

Regardless of whether you are treated at home or in a narcological center,Very importantThe role is played by the search for what to quit drinking for. Sometimes a person finds it on his own, but if he does not know how to dipping himself, psychologists will help. They also support motivation so that the patient does not return to their previous habits.

The strongest motivation is considered:

• Family. Many quit drinking precisely for the sake of preserving the family. You can abandon alcohol for the sake of the unborn child or out of 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, they will not trust him anything important. Ethanol also negatively affects memory, intellectual abilities, which does not give a chance to promotion through the career ladder.
• Health. This is a strong, but short motivation. While the alcoholic feels bad, 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 realize that even small doses of alcohol are dangerous, harm the body, only in this case it will be possible to get rid of dependence.
• Fatigue. Oddly enough, fatigue from alcohol can be a sufficiently strong motivation. At some point, a person is bored with drinking, it seems to him uninteresting such a vacation, he wants change. It is difficult to change something yourself, because the question arises where to move and what to do for these changes.

Also, in the first stages of alcoholism, reputation can also serve as a motivation. At the 3rd stage, a person no longer pays attention to him that he will think about him, his only goal is to find alcohol. But before the development of strongphysical dependenceThe fear that people (at work, in the family) will recognize and will be condemned. Therefore, many hide their alcoholism.

It is possible to find motivation yourself, but it is better to maintain it with a psychologist. Do not be afraid or be shy of psychological help. Even several sessions can significantly change the course of thoughts.

Features of treatment in the clinic

Unfortunately, people turn to specialized centers only after they have already crossed the line. Bingers, deliriums, memory failures, depression against the background of alcoholism are the main reasons why a person is ready to go to a doctor. At 3 stages of dependence, it is almost impossible to cope on your own. The patient has weakened the will and critical thinking is impaired. He puts alcohol on 1 plan and cannot stop.

Private clinics have advantages. For example, they do not register, do not transfer data on the place of work, and also provide assistance at home to those who do not want to go to the center. But remember thatmore effectiveTreatment in the hospital is considered.

Treatment in the clinic includes several aspects:

• Detoxification. First you need to remove the decay products of ethyl alcohol from the blood. For this purpose, droppers are placed, which relieve painful withdrawal syndrome, quickly remove toxins, and normalize the work of internal organs. They may include vitamins, painkillers, sedatives, hepatoprotectors, etc. Depending on the symptoms and condition of the patient.
• Drug treatment. Doctors select drugs that will help restore the work of internal organs, nervous system, and neutralize the consequences of alcoholism.
• Psychological help. The psychologist will help to find motivation, determine problems and find ways to solve them. The patient must be aware of his emotions, be able to cope with them.
• Rehabilitation. After treatment, rehabilitation is carried out, during which the patient helps to return the work or recover in study. He learns to communicate with people again, returns to the family, to the usual environment.

It is worth remembering that treatmentNot carried out by force. If the patient is not yet aware of the severity of his position, they will conduct a conversation with him, explain why treatment should be started, dipped. Only soft conviction methods are used.
