This article is devoted to a very pressing problem today - how to get rid of alcohol addiction yourself. Precisely by yourself, and not with the help of coding, supposedly miracle drugs or other incomprehensible methods. Many people ask: “Is it possible to stop drinking on your own, at home, and not in the hospital?” I firmly say yes. Only you yourself can overcome this deadly addiction one hundred percent. And you will forget about this problem forever. Therefore, today I will tell you how to get rid of alcoholism at home forever and present my own, although not new, but still little-known and unique method of getting rid of drunkenness.
I will not describe in detail the harmful effects of alcohol; you can read about this in the article “The Harm of Alcohol on the Human Body.” From it you will understand why you should quit drinking alcohol altogether.
Let me just say that this terrible poison not only gradually kills the entire body, but also has a detrimental effect on the human psyche. Disastrous is putting it mildly. The drinker simply degrades, turns into an animal, i.e. goes down the evolutionary ladder.
But despite this, alcohol addicts a person, and it is very difficult to give it up. Why is this happening?
I have already told you why people drink alcohol. But I didn’t write in detail about the main reason for drinking alcohol and why it’s very difficult to quit drinking. What you will learn today, I assure you, few people knew and applied to themselves. By understanding the root cause and applying my recommendations, you can get rid of alcohol addiction forever and finally find a healthy and happy life.
I will not recommend coding or other dubious methods of getting rid of the drinking habit. They give only a temporary effect and at the first opportunity the person becomes an alcoholic again. This is due to the fact that psychological dependence is almost impossible to overcome without eradicating the main reason for drinking alcohol.
The main reason for drinking alcohol
Today I will tell you a big secret. By learning it and putting my advice into practice, you can stop drinking alcohol altogether.
What you learn probably does not fit into your worldview, but it is the true truth, supported by scientific facts and tested for more than one millennium.
The whole point is that the usual mode of operation of our entire psyche, our mind, or in other words, the ego, which a person constantly experiences in everyday life, is harmful and even dangerous for the human body, for the same ego and for his soul.
I mean a mode in which our ego constantly and intensely works, generating negative emotions and a constantly repeating mode of perception, which is called our habits. This process consumes a lot of energy and over time leads to mental and physical illness.
To put it in simple terms, a person is simply tired of everyday stress, of his own bad thoughts and emotions, of the routine of life and he wants to escape from all this. But it’s impossible to escape. What to do?
A person begins to look for methods of changing perception that would shift his view of the surrounding reality and relieve him of negative emotions. By the way, the soul and body themselves, as a result of the instinct of self-preservation, try to shift perceptions in order to survive. After all, the ego, with its uncontrolled work, simply kills a person, and they are trying with all their might to stop this work. This happens automatically. For example, laziness comes over us, we don’t want to do anything, we are drawn to sleep, we fall into a trance.
Sometimes falling into a trance and being lazy is a natural reaction of the body and there is no need to prevent it. But the person overcomes himself and continues to do the wrong things. Then the body is forced to protect itself by simply turning off the psyche. This is how we acquire mental disorders, and even illness or simply lose consciousness.
Man himself also looks for ways to stop the ego. And here a very simple and seemingly effective remedy comes to the rescue - alcohol. It promotes the production of endorphin hormones, changes your view of the world around you, stops the usual functioning of the psyche and relieves you of depressing thoughts. I drank and forgot. What could be simpler? Problems no longer seem so difficult, we become brave in the face of life’s difficulties, we feel good and are happy.
But it's all a hoax. We do not avoid problems, but only cover our eyes. At first glance, it seems that there is nothing wrong with this, because we have stopped the work of the ego. We achieved our goal. But it's not that simple. Negative emotions have not gone away, but have only been pushed further into the depths of the subconscious. Those. the ego continues to work, but is no longer noticeable to us. We only put on a mask, but did not cleanse the dirt from our soul. As I have said many times, for example, in an article on how to become happy, bad thoughts and feelings lodged inside us gradually lead to problems, mental and physical illnesses.
The saddest thing is that alcohol, like a poison, destroys not only internal organs, but also kills brain cells, leading to mental and mental degradation. In a word, a person becomes dumb. And now he cannot cope with those problems of life that he previously more or less coped with. Having sobered up, he feels bad, scared from the realities of life, uncomfortable even from minor stress. I want to drink more, quenching the pain of my soul in a glass of wine. This creates a vicious circle from which there seems to be no way out. But there is a way out. More on him later.
For now, let's summarize the chapter.
We can say in other words that the main reason for drinking alcohol is the disagreement between our soul and our ego. When the ego begins to work uncontrollably, does not listen to our soul, leads to negative thoughts and emotions, and consumes all our energy. Intensified work of the ego without coordination with the soul always leads to mental and physical illnesses. The body, our soul, and the person himself, with the help of his mind, are looking for ways to change the mode of perception in order to stop this work. A person finds an easy remedy - drinks alcohol, thereby causing himself even more problems.
In everyday language, a person drinks alcohol to relax, relieve fatigue and get rid of stress.
If you do not yet fully understand the connection between the soul and the ego, what it is and how they work, I suggest reading my articles: “The Soul, What is It”, “The Main Secret of Man”, “How to Become Happy”, and other articles.
And these are not my empty words, but facts confirmed by science and verified for more than one millennium.
Symptoms
The appearance of a person suffering from alcoholism changes under the influence of ethyl alcohol, which is a universal solvent that can quickly penetrate the body’s tissues. At the first stage of development of the pathology, the changes are still weakly expressed.
You can recognize an alcoholic by:
- slight swelling, which is usually taken as a sign of a cold;
- dark circles and bags under the eyes, similar to those that occur with severe overwork and lack of sleep.
The patient tries to hide such manifestations, but over time this becomes more and more difficult. Even during periods of sobriety, an allergic rash on the face and skin diseases may appear.
At the second stage, the changes become even more pronounced:
- the patient gains a lot of weight or loses weight due to metabolic disorders;
- the skin of the face acquires a yellowish-gray color due to liver damage from toxic substances;
- the body swells as the kidneys are no longer able to remove excess fluid. At the same time, the skin becomes overdried, peels and takes on an unnatural color.
Indirect signs of alcoholism are a reluctance to take care of oneself, perform hygiene procedures, untidiness and sloppiness.
Alcoholism (treatment at home becomes more and more difficult over time) at the final stage is manifested by mental and physiological changes.
In a sick person:
- the nose acquires a burgundy-red tint, the vascular network on the face becomes more pronounced, since the half-life products of alcohol lead to thinning and damage to the walls of blood vessels. Skin rashes appear as a result of the accumulation of toxins and waste;
- the skin dries out and peels, hair splits, nails break;
- hands shake even outside the period of heavy drinking;
- the face swells greatly, there are bags under the eyes;
- the gaze becomes shifty;
- facial expressions are transformed, resulting in neurological changes. Those who drink heavily are characterized by an “alcoholic mask”, which is distinguished by relaxed mouth muscles, deep nasolabial folds, and a constantly tense forehead;
- Coordination of movement is impaired, the gait becomes uncertain and unsteady.
A person at this stage withdraws from the world around him, and it is very difficult to save him.
The pointlessness of all other methods of getting rid of alcohol
The main reason for drinking alcohol has finally become known. And today you also recognized her.
What will this give you? Now you can understand how to get rid of alcohol addiction on your own and open the way to a happy and healthy life without alcohol.
All the methods that you know to get rid of alcohol addiction - coding, hypnosis, the help of a psychologist, psychological attitude and others - are useless if you have not eliminated the main cause of your drunkenness.
They are only effective for a short time. The risk of returning to your previous drunken life is very high. And this is understandable. The psychological craving for a relaxing drink is almost impossible to overcome without eliminating the underlying cause.
How to convince a person to stop drinking alcohol or cure him using different methods? No way.
Therefore, do not waste time on all these methods, rather move on to the actions that I will discuss below.
What can you do to get a person to stop drinking? Now you'll find out.
The main goal and correct strategy will be that you need to achieve a state of consciousness in which the need for alcohol will disappear on its own. As we have found out, we drink to relieve stress, relax and get rid of negative thoughts and emotions. Feel the buzz and positive emotions. Get rid of the uncontrolled work of the ego.
This means you need to learn to truly relax, learn to get rid of stress and internal tension, and be able to control your thoughts, feelings and emotions. Achieve natural, not chemical, joy and pleasure. Establish a connection between soul, ego and body. Achieve integrity of yourself.
This will be discussed below.
In the meantime, I want to answer the question - is it possible to suddenly quit drinking alcohol or is it necessary to go gradually?
How to treat alcoholism
Treatment of alcoholism at home occurs in several stages. Initially, the patient’s body must be brought back to normal, cleansed of toxins. For this purpose, medications, injections and vitamins are used. Then you can effectively use the help of narcologists, coding (psychological or medicinal) and folk remedies. The choice of how to treat alcoholism at home depends only on the desire and condition of the patient.
Dropper for alcohol intoxication at home
If a hangover turns into a binge or has an incredibly painful effect on a person, it is necessary to resort to medicinal methods - IVs. It is advisable to call a narcologist who has a certificate, his own equipment, and medications. The composition of the detoxification drip includes: glucose, saline solution or Hemodez. There must be vitamins. Sometimes the doctor suggests a double drip, but it is important to know the exact condition of the kidneys. If they cannot remove a certain amount of fluid, a double drip is prohibited.
Pills
To get out of a binge or get rid of a hangover, medicine has offered options for pills that can help. In order not to harm the body, it is recommended to use only those medications prescribed by the doctor. In case of alcohol poisoning, not all tablets can cope with the removal of toxins. The following will be effective: Thiamine, Clonidine, Benzodiazepines, Tiapride, etc. You should not select and take medications on your own without specifying a prescription and exact doctor’s instructions.
What happens if you suddenly stop drinking alcohol?
You can often hear: “I quit drinking and started getting sick.”
There is also an opinion that if you suddenly stop drinking alcohol, the consequences can be dire.
Yes, there is indeed truth in this. What happens to a person who quits drinking?
Physiological and mental withdrawal sets in.
What happens to the body when you stop drinking?
He gets so used to alcohol that giving it up, especially abruptly, is a big stress. The body has simply lost the habit of functioning normally and it takes time to remember how to work correctly.
But the fact is that by applying my correct methods on how to stop drinking once and for all, you will push your body and psyche to the point that they themselves will force you to quickly stop drinking alcohol. Therefore, you need to quit right away, but you will do this not because it is necessary, but because you will come to this yourself, you simply will not need alcohol. People who stopped drinking alcohol with the help of the right recommendations did not experience terrible withdrawal symptoms, and the body quickly adjusted to healthy functioning.
So let's start a new life the next day. Why wait? There is no need to think like “I can’t stop drinking, what should I do?” Just believe that it is possible to overcome a terrible addiction, stop using poison and apply my recommendations. There is no need to be afraid that if a person stops drinking, the consequences for the body can be terrible.
Treatment of alcoholism with folk remedies at home
Treatment of alcoholism at home can be based on folk remedies. When the patient’s body has already been brought back to normal and taken out of the binge, it is recommended to start using traditional medicine. The most popular methods for combating alcohol poisoning are recipes with honey, apples, bay leaves, and various tinctures. Options and indications vary greatly:
- Honey: on the first day, the patient is given 6 teaspoons of good quality honey, after another 20 minutes, the dose must be repeated, and after another 20 minutes, 6 spoons again. After 2 hours you need to repeat the entire scheme. This treatment lasts two days. The next day after the first dose of honey, we give the patient a light breakfast, which ends with 4 tablespoons of honey. Treatment is based on the belief that alcoholism causes a person to lack potassium, which makes them want to drink alcohol. Honey removes this deficiency.
- Bay leaf: pour 250 grams of vodka into a glass, add bay root and two leaves. Whether to strain the mixture or not is up to you. Afterwards everything is infused for two weeks. They say that this tincture discourages the desire to drink alcohol and causes a terrible disgust for it. This is an old folk method that helps fight addiction to alcoholic beverages.
- Apples can be considered an interesting way to treat alcoholism at home. They say that you need to put 6-7 nails in each apple and leave them for a day. After this, give the patient three apples a day for six weeks. The apples must be sour. Even if the remedy does not completely help, the condition of the alcoholic’s body should improve significantly.
Treatment of alcoholism with herbs
People try to resort to folk remedies when drug treatment does not help. Many claim that a specific collection of herbs can relieve addiction and cure alcoholism (sorrel, peony, European hooffoot). The following recipe is considered the most effective collection of herbs:
- Take creeping thyme – 4 tsp, wormwood – 1 tsp, centaury herb – 1 tsp.
- One tablespoon of the herbal mixture is poured with boiling water and left for two hours.
- 30 minutes before meals, the patient should be given 1-2 tablespoons. drink 3 times a day. The course lasts 3 months.
Play some sports
To begin with, I suggest doing some light sports. There is no need to overload the body; for example, there is no need to run. You are weakened by drinking alcohol. So give him a light load. Regular walking in the fresh air, Nordic walking, cycling, and swimming are suitable for this.
The thing is that playing sports promotes the release of endorphins, which give a good mood. Sport will be the first step towards achieving a state of consciousness where you don’t need alcohol. Physical activity that is feasible relieves tension accumulated throughout the day, gives good spirits and promotes relaxation.
Of course, sport will not help you achieve deep relaxation of mind and body, when all negative thoughts and emotions recede, but with its help you will be on the right path to achieving a healthy and happy life.
What to do if you have alcohol poisoning
If the stage of poisoning is not so critical and does not go away with complications, then alcohol poisoning can be dealt with at home. It is better to offer a patient who is experiencing nausea or vomiting several glasses of drinking water to help flush the stomach. Next, it is worth using an effective method - sorbents. Activated carbon is considered the most popular; there are analogs based on lignin (natural wood), which you can drink from 1-2 pcs. Sorbents absorb harmful substances and toxins. It is recommended to use white coal: this will reduce stomach irritation.
Do something, find yourself a hobby
One of the reasons for discomfort in the soul, from which a person resorts to drinking, is a lack of interest in life, boredom, even a lack of meaning in life. After drinking, a person stops feeling this pain and fills the void in time.
If you had an interesting hobby, a job you loved, a loved one or children, I assure you, you would drink less. Often, due to the trash in the subconscious, with an excess of negative emotions, a person cannot find a business, his calling, his love.
I want to make you happy. By applying my recommendations, which I will discuss below, you will cleanse all the dirt from your soul and find what you have long wanted to find, but could not due to certain restrictions. The question of what you can replace alcohol with when you stop drinking will disappear by itself. But there is no need to wait for this to happen. Find something to do as soon as possible, just then you can adjust your desires, finally hearing your soul.
How do people become alcoholics?
The lines between these categories are blurred, they are wide, and sometimes blurred. But you need to understand that everyone who drinks is very, very vulnerable and can easily end up in the third section. It's a kind of roulette. And if someone thinks that they control the process, that they can quit at any moment, then I assure you that you are mistaken.
This is the whole point of alcohol addiction, it is insidious, cunning and covers a person on the sly. None of the alcoholics would ever think that they would become drunk while in the first category. Everyone, as one, thinks: “Well, I’m only here on holidays.”
And the mousetrap slams, and the mouse is caught at the most inopportune moment. After all, when you drink on holidays, you walk on the edge of a knife. Every time there is a chance to change the category and slide, as they say, downhill.
Alcohol addiction is a problem that, if it enters a home, will remain there for a long time. Without outside help, it is almost never possible to solve this problem on your own. Maybe at the very beginning, in the first 2 categories. If the drinker suddenly comes to his senses and, either through an effort of will, stops drinking. Or he will use other working methods. But this rarely happens.
Because being in the first two categories people mistakenly think: “This won’t happen to me, everything is under control.” We sorted it out with understanding. Now let's talk, what exactly should we do if it's time to ring the bells?
To stop drinking you need to learn to relax
The inability to relax without alcohol is a consequence of the main reason for drinking alcohol. I'll explain everything now.
What is relaxation in a global sense? So this is the suspension of our psyche, our ego, when it stops working uncontrollably and peace, silence and calm joy come within us.
Those. In order to get rid of stress, relax, free ourselves from tension, from negative thoughts and emotions, we strive for relaxation and look for methods to achieve this state.
And alcohol is right there. It gives a temporary relaxation effect by shifting our perception and blocking bad emotions.
And a person no longer knows how to relax without alcohol. He can't even imagine how he can be relaxed without it. Therefore, he is afraid of not drinking in the future. “How will I relieve tension, I’ll just go crazy from everyday stress” - that’s what he thinks. But he doesn’t even imagine that by learning to truly relax without alcohol, he will find a better life without stress and tension.
Alcohol does not provide true relaxation.
In fact, to process such a strong poison, the body spends a lot of internal energy.
Tension and fatigue go away only at the beginning; later, especially with a hangover, a person feels a great loss of strength and mood. This is a consequence of a decrease in the overall energy of the body.
Over time, a person gets used to this state, the body is rebuilt. Low energy levels become permanent. This is expressed by the acquisition of diseases and a decrease in mental and mental activity.
There is no talk of any relaxation here.
But can a person himself stop drinking in this state of the body? Of course yes.
Once you learn to truly de-stress, increase your energy levels, get healthy and stop drinking, the next time you try alcohol you will feel disgusted. You will feel the difference between these two conditions and will never want to use this terrible poison again. You will be surprised how you used to spend your time drinking, ruining your body.
How to relax properly.
First, I suggest you read my articles on relaxation.
There are certain techniques where you lie down and begin to relax. These are shavasana and yoga nidra. Read about them by following the links. Start using them. After a while you will feel how they have a beneficial effect on your entire being.
Books to help you quit drinking
A person who wants to recover from an illness can turn to specialized books.
Reading usually allows you to look at alcoholism from the perspective of the people around you, which helps you understand all the harm caused by alcohol. This will increase the alcoholic's desire for treatment. The most useful books will be:
- "Alcoholism" by Goodwin;
- “Alcohol addiction: formation, course”, author – O. F. Eryshev;
- "The Easy Way to Quit Drinking" by Allen Carr.
In addition to books, psychotherapy is also an effective method of combating alcoholism. A psychotherapist usually tries to find the reasons for the development of alcoholism, because no one just becomes addicted to drinking. There are many factors that cause a patient to have a strong craving for alcohol and the inability to get rid of it on their own.
An alcoholic is not the master of his own life, so drinking a glass of vodka often leads to a week-long binge. You should not spare money on a good psychotherapist, because his help is very important.
Treatment without the knowledge of the patient
Often an alcoholic does not admit that he is sick and refuses to be treated, creating a lot of problems for himself and his loved ones. He may become aggressive, irritable, or show apathy towards life and reluctance to work. In this case, you need to save the person, even without his desire. There are several ways to treat alcoholism without the knowledge of the patient. Prepared drugs are added to food or drinks and given to the alcoholic. An aversion to alcohol gradually develops, and the person begins to drink less. How can you help a patient?
- Make a decoction of 3 tablespoons of thyme and a glass of water. Infuse it for 3 hours, then drink it as tea or mix it with black tea.
- Grind the red capsicum into powder. Add a tablespoon of powder to a half-liter jar of alcohol and leave for a week. Add 2 drops to alcoholic drinks for every half liter.
- Infusions of wormwood and thyme are also added to food and drinks. This remedy causes severe nausea and vomiting after drinking alcohol.
- Infuse a tablespoon of crushed pumpkin seeds in vodka for 2 weeks. Add to alcoholic drinks.
How to help someone get rid of addiction
Not every man or woman can cope with the disease on their own. During this period, they need help and support from loved ones. Especially if the patient denies the fact of his dependence on alcohol.
The main condition for effective therapy is the person’s desire to be cured . It is necessary to convince him that alcohol addiction exists, and this is a problem for him and people close to him. How can you help a person in this situation? When the patient agrees with the diagnosis and is ready for treatment for alcoholism, you need to discuss methods and methods of therapy with him. You cannot have a conversation when the addict is intoxicated.
