Alcohol dependence is a serious problem of our time.Both men and women tend to drink alcohol at parties and corporate events.Over time, drinking alcohol can become a habit.This leads to serious physical and mental consequences.
If a person decides to stop drinking alcohol on his own forever, he understands how destructively it affects life - this is already half the success.It is possible to get rid of addiction;the main thing is to set a clear goal and move towards it.
- Complete abstinence is the first and main condition.The decision to stop drinking must be final.This applies not only to strong alcoholic beverages, but also to wine, light liquors and beer.
- You need to understand when you have lost control of yourself and rare alcohol consumption has become a permanent habit.Once you determine what the cause is, you need to get rid of it.
- Interruptions must be avoided.Willpower, relatives, friends and colleagues will help with this.If necessary, you can count on the help of psychologists, traditional medicine methods and the help of doctors from rehabilitation centers.
- You should learn more about the dangers of addiction and the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.
- An important factor is the formation of correct habits (playing sports, eating well, having a hobby, daily routine).
Withdrawal symptoms
The harm from alcohol is much greater than many people think.Hangovers and headaches in the morning are just minor inconveniences.If you decide to get rid of alcohol addiction on your own, you must be prepared for “withdrawal symptoms” that will drive you to drink again:
- feeling of constant anxiety, irritability;
- anxiety;
- voltage;
- depressed state;
- resentment;
- a stream of negative thoughts.
Symptoms appear 5 to 7 days after giving up alcohol.To avoid falling into the addiction trap and drinking again, you need to:
- realize the falsity of the feelings experienced;
- understand that these sensations will soon pass;
- do not associate the condition with external causes;
- remember why you stopped drinking.
As soon as you realize that playing sports allowed you to become more attractive, your hobby began to bring pleasure (and maybe even money), understanding and harmony reigned in the family, you will not want to destroy this idyll.
