Addiction to alcohol is a serious problem of our time.Both men and women often 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 on his own to give up alcohol forever, he understands how destructive it affects life - this is already half the success.It is possible to break the addiction;the main thing is to set a clear goal and go towards it.
- Total abstinence is the first and foremost condition.The decision to stop drinking must be final.This applies not only to strong alcoholic beverages, but also to wine, light liqueurs and beer.
- You need to understand when you have lost control over yourself and a rare drink has grown into a permanent habit.Once you determine what the cause is, you need to get rid of it.
- Interruptions should be avoided.Will, relatives, friends and colleagues will help with this.If necessary, you can use the help of psychologists, methods of traditional medicine and the help of doctors from rehabilitation centers.
- You need to learn more about the dangers of addiction and the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.
- An important factor is the formation of the right habits (sports, proper nutrition, hobbies, daily life).
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 yourself, you should be prepared for "withdrawal symptoms" that will make you drink again:
- feeling of constant anxiety, irritability;
- anxiety;
- tension;
- depressed state;
- resentment;
- a stream of negative thoughts.
Symptoms appear 5-7 days after stopping alcohol.In order not to fall into the trap of addiction and start drinking again, you should:
- 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 see that playing sports has allowed you to become more attractive, your hobby has begun to bring pleasure (and maybe even money), understanding and harmony have reigned in the family, you will not want to destroy this idyll.
