Alcohol addiction is a serious problem of our time.Both men and women frequently drink alcohol at parties and corporate events.Over time, drinking will become a habit.This can lead to serious physical and mental consequences.
If a person decides to give up drinking for good, he will understand how destructive alcohol can be in life - and that is already half the battle.Breaking drug addiction is possible; the most important thing is to set a clear goal and move toward it.
- Complete abstinence is the first requirement.The decision to quit drinking should be final.This applies not only to hard alcoholic beverages, but also to wine, light liqueurs and beer.
- You need to understand when you have lost control of yourself and drinking less alcohol has become a permanent habit.Once you determine what the cause is, you need to eliminate it.
- Interference must be avoided.Willpower, relatives, friends and colleagues will all help.If necessary, you can take help from psychologists, traditional medical methods and doctors in rehabilitation centers.
- You should learn more about the dangers of addiction and the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.
- An important factor is forming the right habits (exercising, eating right, hobbies, daily life).
Withdrawal symptoms
Alcohol is much more harmful than many people think.The morning hangover and headache were only minor inconveniences.If you decide to quit drinking on your own, you should be prepared for "withdrawal symptoms" that can prompt you to drink again:
- Persistent feelings of anxiety and irritability;
- anxiety;
- nervous;
- depressive state;
- resentment;
- A stream of negative thoughts.
Symptoms appear 5-7 days after alcohol withdrawal.In order not to fall into the trap of addiction and start drinking again, you need to:
- Recognize that the feelings experienced are false;
- Understand that these feelings will pass quickly;
- Do not associate the condition with external causes;
- Remember why you quit drinking.
Once you see that exercise makes you more attractive, that your hobbies start to bring happiness (and maybe even money), and that there is understanding and harmony in the family, you won't want to ruin this idyllic life.
