Alcohol addiction is a serious problem of our time.Both men and women often drink alcohol at parties and corporate events.Over time, drinking alcohol can become a habit.This leads to serious physical and mental consequences.
If a person decides to stop drinking alcohol on his own forever, he understands how destructively this affects life - this is already half the success.It is possible to free yourself from addiction;the main thing is to set a clear goal and move towards it.
- Complete abstinence is the first and main condition.The decision to stop drinking should be final.This applies not only to strong alcoholic beverages, but also to wine, light spirits and beer.
- You need to understand when you have lost control of yourself and infrequent drinking has become a permanent habit.Once the cause has been determined, it must be eliminated.
- Inconvenience must be avoided.Willpower, relatives, friends and colleagues will help with this.If necessary, you can take advantage of the help of psychologists, methods of traditional medicine and the help of doctors from rehabilitation centers.
- You should know more about the dangers of addiction and the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.
- An important factor is the formation of the right habits (doing sports, eating well, having a hobby, daily routine).
Withdrawal symptoms
The harm from alcohol is much greater than many people think.Hangovers and headaches in the morning are just minor inconveniences.If you decide to get rid of alcohol addiction on your own, you should be prepared for “withdrawal symptoms” that will push you to drink again:
- feeling of constant anxiety, irritability;
- anxiety;
- voltage;
- been depressed;
- resentment;
- a stream of negative thoughts.
Symptoms appear 5-7 days after you stop drinking.In order not to fall into the trap of addiction and start drinking again, you need:
- realize the falsity of the feelings experienced;
- understand that these sensations will soon pass;
- do not associate the condition with external causes;
- remember why you stopped drinking.
As soon as you see that playing sports allowed you to become more attractive, your hobby began to bring pleasure (and maybe even money), understanding and harmony reigned in the family, you will not want to destroy this idyll.
