Drunkenness in the family becomes a misfortune common to all its members. There are many reasons for alcoholism, but most often it is a person's weakness of character or a bad influence. They have been trying to deal with drunkenness for a long time, but the most important factor for successful recovery is the person's conscious desire to stop drinking.
<1_img_centerxx>Who is truly considered an alcoholic
People usually start to think of an alcoholic who is gloomy in people's eyes. And official medicine has its own facts about it.
The acceptable dose for a man and a woman is 75 ml and 50 ml of alcohol, respectively. If these indicators are not exceeded, intoxication will not occur and control of actions will not be lost. But a person gets a clear definition of an alcoholic when he drinks more than 500 grams several times a week.
But next to that, there are some basic definitions of alcoholism:
- The dose and frequency of alcohol consumption are steadily increasing;
- In the morning, an obsessive desire to get drunk is added;
- The need to drink again, due to severe irritation and poor health. The so-called withdrawal symptoms;
- Solve all the problems in life 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
An herb such as St. John's Wort is widely known as a remedy for green snakes. To do this, you need to measure two glasses of water, boil and pour in five tablespoons of chopped herbs. Insist half an hour in a water bath and take two weeks in the cool morning and evening. After this period, a persistent aversion to alcohol develops.
Baranets is still a little-known remedy, but its effectiveness is quite high. Pour 10 grams of dry twigs with a glass of boiling water and cook for 15 minutes. Give the patient every two hours until he feels like vomiting. This remedy has contraindications. Cannot be taken by people who have heart problems and stomach ulcers. In combination with alcohol, the reception of the decoction causes a strong aversion even to the smell of vodka.
In addition, an aversion to alcohol consumption is provided by a mixture of two bay leaves and half a tablespoon of chopped lovage root. All this should be poured with a glass of vodka and, after two weeks of infusion, take.
There are very drastic measures to combat drunkenness. Formerly, to a drinking husband, the wife added a living insect to the wine. After drinking such wine, the drinker developed an unconscious aversion to alcohol. This method can be used if the drinker is unwilling to fight the addiction.
How to use folk remedies
Any treatment, including alcoholism, requires careful selection of components and components. In all infusions and decoctions there are different types of contraindications, and in order to avoid the consequences you need to consult a doctor.
Before starting the treatment, the body is cleansed. It is better to do this with diuretic preparations for several days.
It is almost impossible to force a drinker to stop drinking against their will. There are funds that have a short term effect, but you should not expect a long term result. Alcoholism is not only a physiological addiction, but also a psychological one. And the patient's desire plays an important role here.
Scandals and a confrontation in the family will only exacerbate the habit. Because alcohol dependence is often based on psychological problems. Together we must try to find the reason and convince the drinking husband of the need to stop drinking.
Alcoholism from beer
Addiction to beer is considered even more insidious than addiction to vodka. Avid alcoholics start with beer. The nonsense of this drink is that they don't take beer seriously, considering a few drinks after a hard day to be quite normal. But thereafter, the addiction to drinking beer is no less severe than to vodka.
Beer addiction is best cured with a change in lifestyle and folk remedies. Herbs in this case can be used in the same way as in the treatment of vodka consumption. Absinthe, thyme, St. John's wort, mint, yarrow. You can prepare the broth separately, or you can prepare these herbs all together and take small doses daily.
Often an infusion of the above herbs is poured into the beer to instill aversion to this drink.
What happens when a person stops drinking
Stopping alcohol consumption causes instant poisoning of the body. And the severity of poisoning depends on how long and how much alcohol a person consumes. There is a release of toxic substances into the blood, due to the fact that the internal organs begin to clean themselves from the alcohol poison.
Some symptoms appear:
- General irritability;
- Severe nausea and constant vomiting;
- Disorders of the digestive system;
- Weakness;
- Cold chills;
- Sweat;
- Heart palpitations;
- Involuntary tremors.
If a person cannot cope with the disturbed well-being on their own after stopping alcohol consumption, it is better for them to see a doctor. The doctor may prescribe a course of cleaning and taking medication. But everything happens individually. If the binge did not last long, and the body is, in principle, healthy, you can wait for the self-cleaning process to end at home.
After a while, the toxins will be eliminated from the body and an important relief and recovery process occurs:
- Blood pressure is normalized, the pulse returns to its natural age norm;
- Headaches and dizziness cease to torment;
- A positive mood and a taste for life will appear;

- 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 more difficult to accompany him throughout the treatment and adaptation.
After having stopped drinking, do not think that after the treatment, it will be possible to skip a few drinks on vacation. Once he has become an alcoholic, he will no longer be able to observe the measurement as easily and will succumb again to this addiction. You may need to stop drinking alcohol forever and you need to be prepared.
