Drunkenness in the family becomes a common misfortune for all its members. There are many reasons for alcoholism, but most often it is a person's weakness in character or bad influence. They have been trying to fight drunkenness for a long time, but the most important factor in successful healing is a person’s conscious desire to stop drinking.
Who really considers himself an alcoholic
People usually begin to consider themselves an alcoholic who sinks into people’s eyes. And official medicine has its facts on this issue.
The acceptable dose for men and women is 75 ml and 50 ml of alcohol, respectively. If these indicators are not exceeded, there will be no poisoning and no control over the procedures. But a person gets a clear definition of an alcoholic if he drinks more than 500 grams several times a week.
But other than that, there are basic definitions of alcoholism:
- The dose and frequency of alcohol intake are constantly increasing;
- In the morning, an obsessive desire to get drunk is added;
- The need to drink again, due to strong irritation and poor health. The so-called withdrawal symptoms;
- Solving any life troubles or just boredom by drinking alcohol;
- Obvious changes in behavior and daily life.
It should be noted that alcohol includes vodka and moonlight, as well as seemingly harmless cocktails, champagne and beer.
Folk methods
A plant like St. John’s wort is widely known as a remedy to fight green snakes. To do this, you need to measure two glasses of water, boil and pour five tablespoons of chopped herbs. Insist for half an hour in a water bath and take two weeks cold in the morning and evening. After this period, a permanent aversion to alcohol developed.
Baranets is still a little known drug, but its effectiveness is quite high. Pour 10 grams of dry twigs with a glass of boiling water and cook for 15 minutes. Give to the patient every two hours until he needs to vomit. This drug has contraindications. It cannot be taken by people who have problems with the heart system and stomach ulcers. Combined with alcohol, taking the decoction causes a strong reluctance even to the smell of vodka.
Also, aversion to alcohol intake is provided by a mixture of two bay leaves and half a spoon of chopped violet root. All this should be poured over a glass of vodka and taken after two weeks of infusion.
There are very radical measures to combat drunkenness. In the old days, the wife who drank, the wife added a live beetle to the wine. After drinking such wine, the drunk developed a subconscious aversion to alcohol. This method can be used if the person drinking does not want to fight the addiction.
How to use folk remedies
Any treatment, including alcoholism, requires careful selection of components and components. There are different types of contraindications in all infusions and decoctions, and to avoid the consequences, you must consult a doctor.

It is almost impossible to make a person who drinks stop drinking against their will. There are funds that have a short-term effect, but you do not need to wait for a long result. Alcoholism is not only a physiological but also a psychological addiction. And the desire of the patients plays an important role here.
Scandals and fights in the family will only make that habit worse. Because alcohol addiction is often based on psychological problems. Together we must try to find a reason and convince the drinking husband that we should stop drinking.
Beer alcoholism
Beer addiction is considered even more insidious than vodka addiction. Passionate alcoholics start with beer. The insidiousness of this drink is that they do not take beer seriously, considering a few glasses after a hard day quite normal. But later, the addiction to drinking beer is no less serious than to vodka.
Beer addiction is best cured by lifestyle changes and folk remedies. Herbs in this case can be used the same as in the treatment of drinking vodka. Wormwood, thyme, St. John's wort, mint, yarrow. You can prepare the soup separately or you can cook all these herbs together and take them in small doses a day.
Often an infusion of the above herbs is poured into the beer to instill an aversion to this drink.
What happens when a person stops drinking
Cessation of drinking any alcohol causes immediate intoxication of the body. The severity of intoxication depends on how long and how long the person has consumed alcohol. There is a release of toxic substances into the blood, due to the fact that the internal organs begin to cleanse themselves of alcohol poisoning.
Certain symptoms appear:
- General irritability;
- Severe nausea and constant vomiting;
- Digestive system disorders;
- Weakness;
- Zimica;
- Sweating;
- Heart palpitations;
- Involuntary shivering.
If a person cannot cope with the well-being disorder on their own after stopping consuming alcohol, it is better to seek medical help. The doctor may prescribe a course of cleansing and taking medication. But everything goes individually. If the intoxication did not last long, and the body is, in principle, healthy, then you can wait for the self-cleansing procedure at home.
After some time, the toxins will be removed from the body, and there is a significant process of relief and recovery:
- Blood pressure is normalized, the pulse returns to its natural age norm;
- Headache and dizziness cease to torment;
- A positive mood and taste for life will emerge;

In order for the body to recover, it is necessary to follow some recommendations:
- A healthy lifestyle that includes enough exposure to fresh air;
- Taking drugs to restore the liver;
- Complete foods containing vitamins;
- Physical exercises for toning the whole body;
- A hobby that will replace the craving for alcohol;
- When treating alcohol addiction, it is important to remember that in this difficult case, the support of family and friends is very important.
It is easy to turn away from a sick person, it is much harder to go with her to the end of treatment and adaptation.
Once you’ve stopped drinking, you shouldn’t think that after healing it will be possible to skip a few glasses on holidays. Once a person has become an alcoholic, he will no longer be able to observe the measure so easily and will again succumb to this addiction. You may have to give up taking any alcohol forever and you need to be prepared for that.
