Life with a person who drinks is far from every girl's dream. For this reason, 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 drunks do not want to voluntarily give up this bad habit, so relatives must 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 drunk, 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 the treatment of her.
Dialogue
The first and most correct decision is to calmly talk to a person who drinks and ask him to stop drinking alcohol, because every liter of beer or any other drink that is drunk significantly harms a person's health. If alcohol consumption is associated with problems in the family, with friends or with hard work, the drinker will be able to stop drinking alcohol fairly quickly, especially if she feels the support of her 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 can not do anything, since the body constantly requires the intake of alcohol. If you cannot convince a person, you need to explain the dangers of alcohol, future difficult life and possible health problems as a result of constant drinking. The quality of future life is usually a matter of great concern to alcoholics, as they are afraid of anything that might interfere with their existence in the future.
It is also worth persuading a drunk if, after a "stormy party" the next day, he has a strong intoxication of the body. In this case, the alcoholic will surely remember all the unpleasant sensations in the morning, especially if they pass for a long time.
Important: people who drink do not always perceive all the information that is passed on to them by relatives from the first time, therefore, after preparing for the conversation, you need to take into account some rules:
- you shouldn't talk to a drunk until he is completely sober and back to normal; in this case, you will not be able to understand the whole truth of his instructions;
- do not force a person to give up a bad habit while hungover;
- it is not necessary to try to arouse pity and ask the drunk 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 give up the bad habit: conversations should be calm and "soft";
- you can try to threaten, saying that with constant consumption of alcohol, the drinker will lose relatives and friends, but in this case you need to be prepared to carry out such a threat;
- to persuade an alcoholic to stop drinking, you can try to contact a narcologist; if successful, 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 undertaking, from restoring health to improving the quality of life for your family. Such a list could be something like this:
- Do something interesting and exciting instead of drinking, which will help you develop and improve.
- Say "no" to alcoholic beverages, thus earning your children's respect.
- You can stop drinking and save for a vacation trip or anything unusual.
The reasons for drinking alcohol are different: someone drinks to forget, and someone for fun or hobby. Therefore, if it was not possible to force a person to stop drinking, you need to find out the reasons why he drinks, and only then try to cure him.
Take medicine or get treatment at a clinic.
If it was not possible to convince a person to stop drinking with words, you can try to advise the drinker to drink special drops or tablets that will help create an aversion to alcohol-containing drinks. Modern medicines can quickly form feelings of disgust for alcohol, namely:
- drugs cause aversion to smell;
- mind;
- alcohol taste.
Only a doctor should prescribe pills, which will take into account the state of the body and determine the stage of intoxication of a person.
If the drunk does not want to take medicine, he can mix it with 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 alcoholic products cannot be excreted from the body. A person at this time will get so sick that it is unlikely that he will decide to drink again.
If the patient himself decided to take the pills, he will not want to drink alcohol again, because in addition to a powerful psychological factor, the medicine will not allow him to do so. If an alcoholic wants to stop drinking, he can undergo treatment in a clinic where the 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 drunk.
How to convince a person to stop drinking with the help of drugs has been clarified. But if the drinker does not want to drink them or is forbidden to treat them for health reasons, she can seek help from folk recipes that will help the alcoholic say goodbye to this bad habit.
Folk methods of treating alcoholism
It is important to note that traditional medicine is more effective in this matter, since such methods act equally on all organisms and have no side effects. To stop drinking, you can take a large number of decoctions and teas of medicinal herbs, drink infusions of fruits, berries, etc. The most famous recipes are:
- You can try adding green bugs to alcohol, which will quickly cause an unpleasant smell and taste, leading 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 alcohol and the person will immediately reject 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, but in order to be more confident in the quality of treatment, the patient himself must want to stop drinking.
