Living with a drinking person is far from the dream of every girl. Therefore, many relatives and relatives of an alcoholic are trying with all their might to return him to a full and healthy life without alcohol. But, unfortunately, not everyone succeeds, since most drunkards do not want to voluntarily give up this bad habit, so relatives have to take all the initiative into their own hands and try to solve the problem on their own. And modern methods of treating alcoholism, which are often carried out without the knowledge of the drunkard, can help in this. How to make a person stop drinking? If you are interested in the answer to this question, you need to carefully study the "requirements" of an alcoholic and make the right decision on his treatment.
Dialog
The first and most correct decision is to calmly talk with a drinking person and ask him to stop drinking alcohol, because every liter of beer or any other drink drunk significantly spoils a person’s health. If drinking alcohol is associated with problems in the family, with friends or hard work, the drinker will be able to quit drinking alcohol quite quickly, especially if he feels the support of loved ones.
Many drunks understand that every alcoholic drink taken, even as a treatment, greatly impairs the functioning of the liver and other organs. However, they are unable to do anything, as the body constantly requires the intake of alcohol. If you can’t convince a person, you need to explain to him about the dangers of alcohol, about the future difficult life and about possible health problems as a result of constant drinking. Usually the quality of the future life is of great concern to alcoholics, as they are afraid of everything that will interfere with their existence in the future.
It is also worth persuading a drunkard if, after a "stormy feast" the next day, he has a strong intoxication of the body. In this case, the alcoholic, for sure, will remember all the unpleasant sensations in the morning, especially if they pass for a very long time.
Important: people who drink do not always perceive all the information that relatives convey to them from the first time, therefore, after preparing for the conversation, you must consider a few rules:
- you should not talk with a drunk until he completely sobers up and returns to normal - in this case, he will not be able to understand the whole truth of your instruction;
- do not force a person to quit a bad habit while he is experiencing a hangover;
- no need to try to arouse pity and ask the drunkard to stop drinking alcohol, as well as make scandals, even if the person is sober - in this way it will not be possible to force him to quit the bad habit: conversations should be calm and "soft";
- you can try to threaten, saying that with constant drinking, the drinker will lose family and friends, but in this case you need to be ready to carry out such a threat;
- to persuade an alcoholic to stop drinking, you can try to contact a narcologist - if he succeeds, the patient can immediately go to the hospital for treatment.
If it was not possible to force him to stop drinking, you can try to make a list of motivations, which will describe all the positive qualities of this venture, from restoring health to improving the quality of life of his family. Such a list might look something like this:
- Do something interesting and exciting instead of drinking, which will help you develop and improve.
- Say "no" to alcoholic beverages, thereby gaining the respect of your children.
- You can stop drinking and save up for a vacation trip or any unusual thing.
The reasons for drinking alcohol are different: someone drinks to forget, and someone for fun or a hobby. Therefore, if it was not possible to force a person to stop drinking, you need to figure out the reasons why he drinks and only then try to cure him.
Taking medication or being treated at a clinic
If it was not possible to convince a person to quit drinking with words, you can try to advise the drinker to take special drops or tablets that will help create an aversion to alcohol-containing drinks. Modern medicines can quickly form feelings of dislike for alcohol, namely:
- drugs cause aversion to smell;
- mind;
- taste of alcohol.
Only a doctor should prescribe pills, who will take into account the state of the body and determine the stage of intoxication of a person.
If the drunkard does not want to take medicines, you can mix them into his food and drink (including alcohol) - after 5 minutes he will feel bad and stop drinking.
Important: anti-alcoholic preparations contain an active ingredient (cyanamide), which prevents the rapid and normal processing of alcohol in the body. This leads to general intoxication, as a result of which alcohol products cannot be excreted from the body. A person at this moment will become so ill that he is unlikely to decide to drink again.
If the patient himself decided to take pills, he will not want to start drinking alcohol again, because in addition to a powerful psychological factor, he will not be allowed to do this medicine. If an alcoholic wants to stop drinking himself, he can undergo treatment in a clinic where doctors will do everything necessary for a speedy recovery. The benefits of this treatment are clear:
- constant monitoring of the patient;
- help restore organs that have been damaged as a result of excessive alcohol intake;
- important psychological support for a drunkard.
How to convince a person to stop drinking with the help of drugs has become clear. But if the drinker does not want to take them or he is forbidden to treat them for health reasons, you can seek help from folk recipes that will help make the alcoholic say goodbye to this bad habit.
Folk methods of dealing with alcoholism
It is important to note that traditional medicine is more effective in this matter, since such methods act equally on every organism and do not have side effects. To stop drinking, you can take a large amount of decoctions and teas from medicinal herbs, drink infusions from fruits, berries, and so on. The most famous recipes are:
- You can try adding green bugs to alcohol, which will quickly cause an unpleasant smell and taste, which will lead to an early disgust.
- Pepper will help protect a person from drinking - for this you need to make a tincture of red pepper and alcohol in a proportion of 20 grams per 500 ml. Add this mixture drop by drop to alcohol and the person will immediately refuse it.
- If these methods do not help, you can let a person breathe birch smoke, which can cause a strong aversion to alcohol-containing products.
In most cases, these methods help to quickly overcome cravings for alcohol, however, to be more confident in the quality of the treatment, the patient himself should want to stop drinking.
