Life with a drunk person is far from every girl's dream. Therefore, many relatives and relatives of alcoholics try with all their might to return him to a full and healthy life without alcohol. But, unfortunately, not everyone succeeds, because 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 themselves. And modern methods of alcoholism treatment, which are often carried out without the knowledge of the drunkard, can help in this. How do you get a person to stop drinking? If you are interested in the answer to this question, you must carefully study the "requirements" of the alcoholic and make the right decision about his treatment.
Dialogue
The first and most correct decision is to calmly talk to the person who is drinking and ask him to stop drinking alcohol, because every liter of beer or any other drink consumed significantly damages a person's health. If the consumption of alcohol is related to problems in the family, with friends or hard work, the person who drinks alcohol will be able to stop drinking alcohol quite quickly, especially if he feels the support of those closest to him.
Many drunkards realize that any alcoholic drink that is taken, even as a treatment, greatly impairs the work of the liver and other organs. However, they are not able to do anything, because the body constantly requires the intake of alcohol. If you cannot convince the person, you need to explain to them about the dangers of alcohol, about the future difficult life and possible health problems as a result of constant drinking. Usually, the quality of the future life is of great importance to alcoholics, because they fear everything that will interfere with their existence in the future.
It is also worth convincing a drunkard if after a "tumultuous feast" the next day he has a strong intoxication of the body. In this case, the alcoholic will certainly remember all the unpleasant sensations in the morning, especially if they have passed 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 need to take into account several rules:
- you should not talk to a drunkard until he is completely sober and back to normal - in that case he will not be able to understand the whole truth of your instruction;
- do not force a person to give up a bad habit while suffering from a hangover;
- there is no need to try to evoke pity and ask the drunkard to stop drinking alcohol, as well as making scandals, even if the person is sober - in this way you will not be able to force him to give up his bad habit: conversations should be calm and "soft";
- you can try to threaten, saying that with constant drinking the person who drinks will lose family and friends, but in this case you must 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 make him stop drinking, you can try to make a list of motivations, which will describe all the positive qualities of this undertaking, from restoring health to improving the quality of life of his family. Such a list might look something like this:
- Doing something interesting and exciting instead of drinking will help you develop and improve.
- Say "no" to alcoholic beverages and earn your children's respect.
- You can stop drinking and save up for a vacation trip or any odd thing.
The reasons for drinking alcohol are different: some drink to forget, and some for fun or a hobby. Therefore, if it was not possible to make a person stop drinking, you need to understand the reasons why he drinks and only then try to cure him.
Taking medication or treatment at a clinic
If it was not possible to convince the person to stop drinking with words, you can try to advise the drinker to take special drops or tablets that will help create an aversion to drinks that contain alcohol. Modern drugs can quickly form a feeling of dislike for alcohol, namely:
- drugs cause aversion to smell;
- the mind;
- the taste of alcohol.
Only a doctor should prescribe pills, who will take into account the condition of the body and determine the stage of intoxication of the person.
If the drunkard does not want to take medicine, you can mix it in his food and drink (including alcohol) - after 5 minutes he will feel bad and stop drinking.
Important: anti-alcohol preparations contain an active ingredient (cyanamide) that prevents the rapid and normal processing of alcohol in the body. This leads to general intoxication, due to which alcohol products cannot be excreted from the body. The person will become so sick at this point that it is unlikely that they will ever choose to drink again.
If the patient decided to take the pills himself, he will not want to start drinking alcohol again, because in addition to the strong psychological factor, the drug will not allow him to do so. If an alcoholic wants to stop drinking on his own, he can undergo treatment in a clinic where doctors will do everything necessary for a quick recovery. The advantages of this treatment are clear:
- constant monitoring of the patient;
- they help restore organs that have been damaged as a result of excessive alcohol intake;
- important psychological support for the 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 drink them or is forbidden to treat them for health reasons, you can seek help from folk recipes that will help the alcoholic to say goodbye to this bad habit.
Folk methods of combating alcoholism
It is important to note that traditional medicine is more effective in this matter, because such methods work equally on every organism and have no side effects. To stop drinking, you can take a large amount of decoctions and teas from medicinal plants, drink infusions from fruits, berries, and so on. The most famous recipes are:
- You can try to add green bugs to alcohol, which will quickly cause an unpleasant smell and taste, which will lead to 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 ratio of 20 grams per 500 ml. Add this mixture drop by drop to the alcohol and the person will immediately reject it.
- If these methods do not help, you can let the person inhale birch smoke, which can cause a strong aversion to alcohol-containing products.
In most cases, these methods help to quickly overcome the craving for alcohol, but to be more confident in the quality of treatment, the patient himself should want to stop drinking.
