Life with a drinker is far from every girl's dream. Therefore, many relatives and kin of an alcoholic try their best to bring him back to a full and healthy life without alcohol. But, unfortunately, not everyone succeeds, because most drunks do not want to voluntarily give up this bad habit, so relatives have to take all the initiative into their own hands and try to solve the problem themselves. And modern methods of treating alcoholism, which are often done without the knowledge of the drunkard, can help in this regard. How to Make Someone Stop Drinking? If you are interested in the answer to this question, you need to carefully study the "needs" of an alcoholic and make the right decision about his treatment.
Dialog
The first and most correct decision is to talk calmly with the person drinking and ask him or her to stop drinking alcohol, as every liter of beer or other beverage consumed significantly damages a person’s health. If drinking alcohol is associated with problems in the family, with friends or hard work, the drinker will be able to stop drinking alcohol quickly, especially if he or she feels the support of a loved one.
Many drunkards understand that every alcoholic beverage taken, even as a treatment, greatly affects the function of the liver and other organs. However, they can do nothing, because the body always needs alcohol intake. If you can’t convince someone, you need to explain to him or her about the dangers of alcohol, about a difficult future life and about possible health problems as a result of constant drinking. Usually the quality of life of the future is of great concern to alcoholics, because they are afraid of everything that will interfere with their existence in the future.
It’s also worth persuading a drunk if, after a "storm banquet" the next day, he has a strong body hangover. In this case, alcohol, of course, will remember all the unpleasant sensations in the morning, especially if they pass for a very long time.
Important: people who drink do not always see all the information presented by relatives to them from the first time, therefore, after preparing for a conversation, you must consider a few rules:
- you should not talk to a drunk until he is fully conscious and back to normal - in this case, he will not be able to understand the whole truth of your instructions;
- do not force a person to abandon bad habits while he is intoxicated;
- there is no need to try to arouse pity and ask the drunkard to stop drinking alcohol, as well as make a scandal, even if the person is aware - in this way it is impossible to force him to stop from bad habits: the conversation should be calm and "gentle";
- you can try to threaten, saying that by continuous drinking, the drinker will lose family and friends, but in this case you have to be prepared to make such a threat;
- to persuade alcohol to stop drinking, you can try contacting a narcologist - if he succeeds, the patient can immediately go to the hospital for treatment.
If it is 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 effort, from restoring health to improving the quality of life of his family. Such a list might look like this:
- Do something interesting and exciting instead of drinking, which will help you grow and improve.
- Say "no" to alcoholic beverages, thus earning your children’s respect.
- You can stop drinking and save for a vacation trip or any unusual thing.
The reasons for drinking alcohol are different: someone drinks to forget, and someone for pleasure or a hobby. Therefore, if it is not possible to force someone to stop drinking, you need to figure out the reasons why he is drinking and then try to cure it.
Taking medication or being treated at a clinic
If it is not possible to convince someone to stop drinking with words, you can try to advise the drinker to take special drops or tablets that will help provoke a reluctance to alcoholic beverages. Modern drugs can quickly form feelings of dislike of alcohol, namely:
- drugs cause a reluctance to smell;
- mind;
- taste of alcohol.
Only a doctor should prescribe a pill, which will take into account the state of the body and determine the degree of intoxication of a person.
If the drunk does not want to take the medicine, you can mix it into his food and drink (including alcohol) - after 5 minutes he will feel bad and stop drinking.
Important: anti-alcohol preparations contain the 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 alcohol products cannot be removed from the body. A person at this time will become so ill that he is unlikely to decide to drink again.
If the patient himself decides to take the pill, he will not want to start drinking alcohol again, because in addition to strong psychological factors, he will not be allowed to do so by medication. If an alcoholic wants to stop drinking on his or her own, he or she can undergo treatment at a clinic where a doctor will do everything necessary for a speedy recovery. The benefits of this treatment are obvious:
- continuous monitoring of patients;
- helps restore organs that have been damaged due to excessive alcohol intake;
- psychological support is important for an alcoholic.
How to convince someone to stop drinking with the help of drugs has become clear. But if the drinker does not want to take it or he is forbidden to treat it for health reasons, you can get help from folk recipes that will help make the alcoholic say goodbye to this bad habit.
Folk methods of dealing with alcoholism
It is important to note that traditional medicine is more effective in this regard, because such methods act similarly on each organism and have no side effects. To stop drinking, you can take a large number of decoctions and teas from medicinal herbs, drink infusions from fruits, berries, and so on. The most famous recipes are:
- You can try adding green bugs into the alcohol, which will cause unpleasant odors and tastes quickly, which will lead to initial disgust.
- Pepper will help protect a person from drinking - for this you need to make a tincture of red pepper and alcohol in a proportion of 20 grams per 500 ml. Add this mixture drop by drop into the alcohol and the person will immediately reject it.
- If this method does not help, you can let someone inhale birch smoke, which can lead to a strong aversion to products containing alcohol.
In most cases, this method helps to quickly overcome the craving for alcohol, but to be more confident in the quality of treatment, the patient himself should stop drinking.
