Many people think about the question of how not to drink alcohol, when everyone around him is so "addicted" to it? The answer exists.You just have to follow a few rules.As everyone knows, the first attempt to quit drinking is not entirely successful for many people.And the first failure only upsets many people and those people go back to their previous way of life.Some people quit drinking 5 times and still go back to alcohol.Why does this happen and how to end it once and for all?
Alcohol addiction
The first thing one needs to understand in general is that alcoholism is a disease and a unique system.This system does not allow a person to get out of alcoholism and constantly encourages him to make mistakes, for which he later pays.Of course, everyone understands that after a mistake someone just gives up and starts drinking again.How does this whole system work and why is it so hard to stop if everything in life starts to change for the better?I fear that many will still accept the answer to this question and alcohol will be their enemy.I can say that a month without alcohol will lead to an increase in self-esteem, and the body will also recover.
In fact, the alcohol system consists of many subsystems that are related to each other.
For example, swing, many understand the properties of its work:
- A man sits on a swing and swings.
- In the process of swinging, a person is lifted up and gravity acts on him.
- After reaching the upper edge, the same gravity accelerates it in the other direction.
Why is the swing example given?Because this is an ideal choice for a clear example.
Inertia is another element of all systems.Of course, in childhood, many try to stop at full speed.But who succeeded?That's right, generally just a little.This is what alcohol looks like.First, the first element, inertia, slowly sways and begins to work, then gravity and other factors.When a person reaches the highest point of alcohol, he can no longer stop himself, just like a child swinging on a swing.Many people try to stop immediately, but inertia does its job and the "swing" continues its movement.
"I can quit on my own in a month" or "to quit, I need an incentive and in a month I will be as good as new", also "I will quit in a month, but not now" - these phrases help the system progress and dominate a person, it will continue to destroy the personality and the body.To break the system, again you need to remember the swing.To go down, one has to stop swinging, then the inertia becomes smaller and braking starts.Also in alcohol, although not immediately, a person will get to the point of completely getting rid of alcohol addiction.
Alcohol: A way to relax or a drug trap?
As mentioned above, the whole system is a pendulum that acts on a person until it completely dominates him.Having shaken it a little, a person falls into the trap of alcohol, where he tries to cover up every problem with alcohol.Of course, it all starts with a bottle of beer or a shot of vodka, but in the end the dose reaches the maximum for a person.And so, day after day, a person just starts to become an alcoholic.In this case, the pendulum works in the following way: the first drink of alcohol is like a jump up, then, when it returns, it pushes the person to drink more, and so on endlessly.Any person who falls under its influence drinks more than previously planned, thereby swinging it even more.It should be remembered that, according to the proverb, a hangover is treated "with the same thing that makes you sick," and this is followed by the following words: "The wrong hangover means a second party."In this case, the work of the pendulum is clearly observed, which further drags the person into the alcoholic pit.
In the morning, when a hangover sets in, a person may experience incomprehensible feelings such as "Why do I drink so much, what can I do, everyone drinks and I drink" or "I can stop drinking altogether, but I'm afraid they won't understand me," all these thoughts are reasons to think about it in the future, quite possibly this is regret.After such thoughts, a person feels dissatisfaction and again returns to alcohol as a source of pleasure.And the buzzer starts working again, it is more and more and brings the person more and more into the alcohol system.And when he reaches the last point, for someone, it means death.
After thinking a little about everything written above, you can understand why you should refuse to drink alcohol.Don't wait until you fall into a hole and can't get out.Take care of yourself and your loved ones - after all, alcohol does not need anything but alcohol.
Delayed function
Everyone, even those who rarely use it, have to deal with such a situation as "too much".Many interpret this in terms ofhealth or emotional state, but in fact, alcohol has slowed down the function.The state of intoxication does not occur immediately, and a person cannot determine the limit of how much he needs to relieve tension.Many people say, "I can drink my quota" or "I haven't been drunk for a month, I can relax," but they are very wrong.Remember, no one knows their norms.There is a popular saying: "One person makes a promise, but the other does not fulfill it."It's actually quite unclear.It is necessary to explain these words using, again, the alcohol system.A person under the influence of alcohol completely becomes mentally different;If a person is withdrawn and calm, he can open up and start "being weird."That's the whole point, if someone says "I'll drink one and go home," but in the end he's in the "garbage" in the morning.If you look from the outside, the saying is true, because the person is in a healthy mind and promises that he wants to fulfill in normal conditions.But, having changed a little in the psychological sense, he has already become a different person who does not promise anything to anyone.
I'm afraid to stop, because I have so many problems "or" I'm afraid to admit to myself that I'm an alcoholic ", these are the thoughts that sometimes come to people, but you need to understand that alcohol is first and foremost a poison that gradually destroys not only the better body. To achieve a state of alcohol intoxication.
But what can be done to get someone from binge drinking or addiction.
There are several psychological factors for this:
- Family.
- Work.
- Lack of funds.
- Car.
- Health problems.
They all influence one's decision "to drink or not to drink?"At the same time, they interfere with the alcohol system, thereby destroying it.But what does alcohol "do in response"?The worst thing is that an alcoholic deceiver himself that everything is fine with him, and he will not go to extremes.He stopped giving in to the influence of close and dear people, thus convincing himself that they were against him.After this, the alcohol system is restored and continues its work on a person's personality.
System destruction
Alcohol addiction is a parasite that takes everything from a person without giving anything in return.Many people look for positive factors to use, but remember, they never existed and never will.Alcohol is a poison that will not only kill the alcoholic, but will also encourage him to break the Criminal Code and there will probably be more victims.
To drink alcohol on rare occasions or never go back there again, you need to destroy the pendulum.This option will make it possible to return to normal life and begin to stabilize the entry of problems.Many people with steel will quit smoking and alcohol in 1 day and believe me, they are still surprised by what they do under the influence of alcohol."I'm afraid to go back to this" are the words from everywhere.
The alcohol system, like any other, can be destroyed by hitting the weakest link.And in this case, it is a person's psychological state.It is an aspect that needs to be addressed.
Many people remember that their parents were always against drinking alcohol at an early age and some even said, "I'm afraid that you will become an alcoholic."And this is a correct suggestion, but it needs to be accompanied by an explanation of why alcohol is so dangerous.But, as the soul of many working children, listen and do the opposite.This is why this judgment can lead to early use.We ourselves may inadvertently push our children to their first glass or bottle of beer.Also, many people say that alcohol cannot be cured, and this thought is quite deep in the head, but more on that later.
Many see drunkards on the street, lying under the entrance or cowards on benches.And then the question arises, why are they not treated?The answer is simple, they can't.This also applies to people who are trying to quit drinking on their own.
The first attempt to quit is quite difficult, and the first failure in this matter does not cause any special emotions, because you can try again.But after 5 or 10 attempts, a person panics and begins to realize what trap he has fallen into.That is why there is a special drug treatment bar that gives a person the opportunity to get rid of addiction and return to society again, a normal and balanced individual.
Let's go back to the idea that alcohol is incurable;Coming out of this, we get a vicious circle:
- The thinking seems to be that alcoholism is incurable;
- Getting addicted to alcohol, a person does not realize and does not understand the complexity of the situation;
- The person is aware of the problem, but the thought of disobedience brings him back into the circle.
Now let's go back to the weakest link, and that is the idea of disability.Now everything falls into place.
All that remains is to get rid of the thoughts and adapt to the treatment.This system has collapsed, but will still try to pull the person back, creating thoughts about alcohol.
If a person is strong enough in character and can get rid of these obsessive thoughts on their own, then others should see a doctor and undergo patient treatment.I can say this, if after a month, the desire for alcohol has stopped, then you can go to a drug treatment clinic, because it is very difficult to stop drinking on your own.If you do not apply, then you will be completely drunk, and the month will just be in vain, without meaning in life, even if not, the meaning will be drunk.
Should I drink alcohol or give it up?Quite difficult, but possible.Give yourself a month to count and try not to drink at all.The word "generally" means complete abstinence from any alcoholic beverages, including products containing alcohol.If you last a month, you can last a lifetime.Pay attention to people who encourage you to drink so as not to be influenced.If you decide to drink, to avoid addiction, don't drink a lot or you can pretend that you took a sip.Visit places where alcoholic beverages are consumed less, and eliminate alcohol from your diet.Of course, it is difficult not to drink at all, but if you drink it once a month, then nothing bad will happen.
