Alcoholic beverages help to relax and forget about everyday problems. They save for a short time from depressive thoughts and bad mood, but they are addictive. A person becomes addicted to alcohol. Drinks more and can not stop. This condition is called hard drinking. Independently refuse alcohol is not easy, but with a strong desire possible.
Psychological aspect
Getting out of binge starts with motivation. Only a good reason will cause the patient to say "No!" To hot drinks and cleanse the body of toxins. A man or a woman who does not have a persistent dependence on alcohol will be convinced by simple arithmetic calculations:
- how many liters of alcohol were drunk;
- the price of each bottle;
- total cost of binge.
Other patients are not impressed by the amount spent on strong drinks, but by the possible consequences of hard drinking.Among the most innocuous are headache, lack of appetite, unattractive appearance, heartburn and inhibited mental activity. With regular abuse of alcohol, problems with the stomach appear, heart and kidney failure, gastritis, tachycardia, impaired coordination develop. Suffering from the liver and pancreas, as well as the nervous system. Regular binges lead to upper extremity tremor, memory impairment and cirrhosis, which in most cases results in the death of the patient.
A person who decides to give up alcohol will need a clean exercise sheet and pen. Paper divided into two columns. In the first are the consequences of alcoholism and possible diseases, and in the second - the benefits of refusal from strong drinks. A patient who has left the bout will be able to:
- improve relationships with family members;
- find a new job or return to the old position;
- climb the career ladder;
- improve your life and health;
- spend money on self-development and professional growth;
- spend more time with friends and parents.
Each person finds his advantages in getting rid of alcohol addiction.The main thing is to convince yourself that the time has come to come to their senses and give up the habit that destroys body and mind. People without motivation quickly give up and retire to the binge, sometimes longer than the previous one.
The patient for 3-4 days should protect themselves from contact with parents, friends, drinking buddies and family members. No one should blame, accuse or seduce a dependent person. Any psychological pressure reduces decisiveness and leads to a breakdown.
Gradual exit
Alcohol is a form of drug. Alcohol affects the brain centers responsible for the feeling of joy and euphoria. The longer the patient drinks, the harder it is to stop. Get out of the binge, which lasts a week or more, you need to gradually. With a sharp rejection of the defiant drinks begins "breaking". The body and the brain require a new portion of the substance, which immerses it in a state of rest and relaxation.
A man or a woman in 1-2 days reduces the daily dose of alcohol, and on the third day completely refuses. You can dilute vodka or wine with water.The additive does not change the taste of strong drinks, and it seems to the brain that it drinks as much as yesterday. But thanks to water, the concentration of alcohol in the blood gradually decreases.
The second option is suitable for people with iron willpower:
- Buy a bottle of quality alcohol. Put a glass or a glass of 30 ml next to it. Glasses, cups and other large containers are not suitable.
- Boil a thick chicken or beef broth, chop sausage with bacon or ham, spread butter sandwiches. The more fat the better. It envelops the walls of the stomach and prevents the absorption of alcohol.
- Include an interesting movie or TV show. Not just the evening news or the World of Animals, but a program that is hard to break away from.
- Drink a stack of alcohol 1 time in 1.5-2 hours. Seize a sandwich or broth. If you have no appetite, pour the soup into yourself through force.
- Between the first two glasses you can take a ten-minute break. But the rest to take strictly on schedule.
- During the day, consume no more than 500 ml of any hot drink.
The patient gives the body alcohol, but in small doses. The next day, he wakes up without a terrible headache and an irresistible desire to go for the supplement. From this moment begins the second phase - purification.
In order to pass the first stage successfully, you need to remove all alcohol from the house, leaving only the permitted 500 ml. At bedtime, put a glass of water, kvass or kefir on the bedside cabinet. Take the prepared drink immediately after waking up.
The main rule states that you can not mix different types of alcohol. Wine and champagne made from grapes, with vodka from wheat and beer made from malt and hop.
The refrigerator is filled with mineral water, juices, dairy products, kvass or even sweet soda. Any non-alcoholic drinks that quench thirst and restore water balance.
In the first 2-3 weeks after giving up alcohol, it is advised to refrain from coffee and black tea. The caffeine contained in the products excites the nervous system, and the person has a desire to drink even a glass of brandy or a glass of beer. Energy drinks too. They affect not only the nervous system, but also the heart. And this body, weakened by alcohol, must be protected.
Preparations for cleansing and recovery
A patient going out of a binge will need an Enterosgel package or several plates of activated carbon, Mezim and plenty of liquid.In the first hours after waking up, a person drinks 300–500 ml of alkaline mineral water or brine. Drinks increase the level of fluid in the body and start the liver.
