Alcoholism - a problem of modern society, because getting the “universal poison” at this stage of life will not be difficult even for a child. Day after day, the number of alcoholic drinks on store shelves is updated with a new assortment and the choice, unfortunately, falls on something stronger.
Many stories have been written about the harmful effects of alcoholic products on the human body, the end of which often has dire consequences. Everything would be fine, but in all cases, drinking man turns the life of family members into a living hell, regardless of the children’s feelings, pleas and persuasion loving wife. And only a few, having fallen into this funnel of death, think about how not to drink alcohol at all.
We can say with confidence that overcoming a problem of this kind is possible only with a strong, morally strong personality, who has iron restraint and powerful willpower.
When a cultural feast turns into a noisy drinking session, the drinker cannot be stopped, and the situation gets out of control, you need to ring all the bells in order to protect yourself and your loved ones from inevitable troubles.
Alcoholism - a popular phenomenon not only among men, but also among beautiful women. A woman who has ever drank alcoholic beverages is visible to the naked eye: dull skin, yellowed teeth, unkempt appearance.
Due to the close “commonwealth” with the green serpent, self-esteem falls and the girl, girl, woman loses her place in the sun. Before you begin to eradicate periodic or constant use of alcohol, it is necessary to find out at what stage the essence of the problem is, and whether it has reached the stage of alcohol dependence.
Now there are many ways to give up alcohol, despite the fact that alcoholism has already become a worldwide catastrophe.
Ways to distract yourself from the harmful craving for alcohol
A huge motivation for stopping drinking alcohol is personal growth and achieving special success in work. To do this, you need to set your priorities and strictly follow them.
Sport is also one of the advantages if you still decide not to drink intoxicating drinks. Consciousness switches to increased physical activity and tries in every possible way to complete the assigned tasks; thoughts about alcohol gradually go away and eventually disappear completely.
Physical exercise minimizes the impact of stressful situations on a weakened nervous system, and the desire to relax in such a dangerous way disappears. For the slightest success you need to reward yourself with pleasant little things. This could be various sweets, your favorite pizza, family outings to a cafe, cinema or park.
If you still could not resist the temptation and drank 100 grams, do not reproach yourself under any circumstances, because the feeling of guilt can lead to a complete breakdown. Return to your previous distance and tell yourself “I don’t drink.” Ask your loved one to whisper the phrase “you don’t drink” or “I don’t drink” to you at the head of the bed while you sleep. This slightly affects the subconscious and blocks the desire to drink. If you don’t drink for more than 1 year, the body’s condition undergoes complete recovery.
The company in which he spends his time has a special influence on a person. large quantity time. You must confront them with the fact that I haven’t been drinking for some time. As true friends, they will be obliged to support you, otherwise you need to stay away from them, because their craving for alcohol can negatively affect you.
If it didn’t work out with friends and you are left alone, you should seek help from your family. Their moral support will boost morale and give hope for a wonderful life, where there is no place for stronger drinks. It’s hard to abstain at any holiday, because the questions “why don’t you drink” haunt you.
But any question can be answered with a joke and the rough edges will be smoothed out. Visualization of the future also has positive influence, it’s worth thinking every day about how much more interesting and better life will become after completely giving up alcohol.
You can also watch videos about the fate of those people who drink to this day - their existence is unlikely to give you the urge to drink. Monitor your health - blood circulation has improved, your heartbeat is normal, your general condition rejoices in the fact that nothing is poisoning it from the inside.
Traditional methods to stop drinking
But is it possible to cure a deadly craving for alcohol?
If the situation is extremely advanced and has reached the stage of alcohol addiction, it is worth eliminating the root of the problem. Traditional way getting rid of cravings for drinks containing alcohol ethyl alcohol, is the coding. This term refers to a psychotherapeutic effect on the patient’s nervous system. Using the method of hypnosis, the attitude “I don’t drink” is given.
Subsequently, the desire to drink is replaced by a feeling of disgust. One session is enough for alcoholic drinks to cause negative emotions. If everything is running, treatment alcohol intoxication should be carried out in a drug treatment center or in a specialized clinic under the supervision of the attending physician.
At first it will be difficult, but after discharge from the hospital it will become clear why you should not drink, because even 50 grams of alcohol can lead to severe poisoning, and the fear of going through the treatment path again prevails over the desire to drink.
In some cases, it is possible to completely get rid of the disease only through medication. Alcohol blockers are prescribed individually, the dosage and duration of treatment is selected by a specialist.
The disadvantage of this method is the high cost of procedures and medicines, but it is worth realizing that life is more valuable than any material values. Another method is laser coding, after which you won’t feel like drinking at all.
Laser beams are used to target the reflexogenic zone of the brain. Pathological addiction to alcohol is minimized or completely reduced to zero. The peculiarity of this therapy is that it is completely harmless, the first and second stages of addiction are 100% curable and people do not drink alcohol.
Traditional medicine recipes in the fight against the “green snake”
In case of lack of money and inability to pay for treatment in specialized institutions, you can turn to old, but still relevant traditional medicine.
Treatment traditional methods conditionally divided into several stages:
first- cause a sharp aversion to alcohol, regardless of what exactly you drink. To do this, nasty tinctures and herbal decoctions are added to the drink, which cause nausea and vomiting.
Second The stage is rather psychological in nature and consists of the ability to refrain from any temptations, self-hypnosis, and self-control in various provocative situations. Saying to yourself “I don’t drink this crap anymore” is not enough; it is important to adhere to certain rules.
Red pepper tincture will cause resentment towards drinking. To do this, you will need 20 grams of hot pepper, which must first be dried, and half a liter of sixty-degree ethyl alcohol. Mix the ingredients and let it brew for a week.
Strain the finished drink and leave in a cool, dark place. By adding 10 grams of infusion to the alcohol consumed, a feeling of nausea will gradually appear.
The shells of boiled river crayfish were also noted in this problem. Dry the shells, chop them and add half a teaspoon to food. After consumption strong drink, the patient will begin to feel very sick, gradually alcohol addiction loses its strength.
Treatment with herbal plants: collect herbs (wormwood, juniper, yarrow, common thyme, peppermint, angelica) and dry. Brew one teaspoon per liter of water daily, drink 3 times a day for 5-8 months. For prevention, the course must be repeated every year.
If you live in a city where access to wildlife is limited and it is impossible to collect herbs yourself, any medicinal component can be found in a pharmacy. Their prices are acceptable even for people with low wages.
The positive side of a sober lifestyle
To drink or not to drink an alcoholic drink is an individual choice and the final decision will be yours. Those who have prioritized not alcohol, but the more pleasant joys of life, have long preferred a healthy lifestyle and perceive bright notes in every day.
Modern society has a habit of drinking an unlimited amount of alcohol at any holiday, be it beer, champagne, vodka, homemade moonshine or tinctures.
The saying: “Alcohol in small doses is harmless in any quantity” no longer sounds as funny as in the old days. We sometimes use lethal doses, after which it is not we who fight for life, but the doctors. Buying and drinking alcohol is becoming the norm.
The first attempt to get rid of the connection with alcohol quite often does not live up to expectations, which is why you give up and it seems that there is no point in going further. But a clear awareness that there are a number of problems is a ray of hope, and this gives a powerful charge of energy to permanently remove alcohol from Everyday life. You need to make every effort to achieve your goal and it will pay off in full.
As soon as the unfortunate craving for stronger drinks disappears from life, the circle of friends is renewed, new interests and hobbies begin to appear, wonderful traditions will appear in the family, and children will delight you with their achievements in school, sports, and creativity.
Health will return to normal every day, internal organs will function more actively, and the brain will be more productive.
Studies have shown that not a single alcoholic has regretted their choice in favor of a healthy lifestyle, but they want to erase the years spent on ill-fated alcohol from their memory forever.
In order to avoid recurrence of breakdowns, you can periodically use anti-alcohol drugs that are sold over the counter. The ideal solution will be daily exercise, as a result of which adrenaline and endorphins - the hormones of happiness - will enter the blood.
Every Friday I'm shit, and every Monday I'm a cucumber. Semyon Slepakov
Of course, everyone knows that it is better to quit drinking completely, but rarely does anyone do it. Where is the fine line between healthy person who uses and an alcoholic who thinks he is a healthy person?
A little about drinking without alcoholism
So, on a weekday evening, a friend invites you to have a glass of beer at your favorite bar, a friend invites you over and takes wine, after work, to relieve stress, you drink a cup of coffee, heavily charged with cognac. Is this about you?
This is occasional drunkenness
You can’t even say how often you drink, because it’s very irregular, and you can’t say exactly how much you need to drink to get drunk, because it depends. If you've had too much, you'll feel bad in the morning, but thinking about alcohol in this state makes you feel nauseous.
It is too early to worry if your episodes do not repeat too often.
Another type is ritual drunkenness
Every second person can boast of this. Family or public holidays are traditionally celebrated with alcohol, and you don't give up drinking. It’s very fun to plan together what you will drink and eat, buy it all, then sit down at the table and, in fact, celebrate. On other days you don’t touch alcohol.
This is also not very scary, but only serious holidays are considered, and not International KVN Day or Journalist Day in China (of course, if you are not a KVN player or a Chinese journalist).
And now we get to the first one dangerous level drunkenness - habitual
If you can drink with a reason (well, of course!) or without it, or absolutely any event becomes a reason for you, for example, stress at work, or even just returning from work.
This does not mean that you get drunk every day to the point of a log, but you drink very often. Sometimes you may not drink (which helps you think that you are not an alcoholic or dependent on it), but these periods of sobriety are becoming increasingly rare.
Attention! If you drink 2 times a week consistently, and sometimes more, this is it. Habitual drunkenness is inexorably followed by the first stage of alcoholism, and in the meantime, this is what happens in the body.
How does the body get used to booze?
Gradually the brain becomes unbalanced chemical substances: gamma-aminobutyric acid, glutamate and the hormone dopamine. The first substance is responsible for impulsivity, the second is responsible for stimulating the nervous system, and dopamine generally decides.
The metabolism of this hormone in the pleasure centers and reward centers changes, so that you stop getting a high from simple things that non-alcoholics enjoy.
Of course, everything is not as critical as in advanced cases, when pleasure and a normal existence in general is simply unthinkable without alcohol, but the degree of joy from meeting friends, a festive event and everything else without alcohol is noticeably reduced.
When the body is already accustomed
When drunkenness turns into mild alcoholism, no events are needed to drink, you can do it just like that. I don’t want to get hungover yet, but I can force myself to. For example, if you have to go to work and you feel very bad, or on Saturday morning, or on Sunday.
And here are a few more signs that you can seriously call yourself an alcoholic:
- It’s also not bad to drink alone, and it doesn’t matter what - beer in front of the TV or vodka, because you’re sad and you’ve had enough at work.
- I just want to drink, just like that.
- If you don’t know how to control yourself, you drink until you’re drunk, and then your friends drag you home.
- Memory losses. Large areas of dead neurons in the brain carry with them memories of yesterday's fun into oblivion.
- We have our own special rituals - go for a walk after work with a bottle of beer while listening to your favorite music on the player, celebrate Friday with a liter of vodka, or something else equally regular.
- You give up on a lot of things. Favorite activities disappear, there is simply no more interest in doing something that has always brought pleasure, for example, playing sports or gluing airplanes.
- More quarrels with family and friends. You get angry over trifles, and are constantly at knifepoint with someone.
In fact, you are not alone in your mild alcoholism; many people are at this stage, they can stay at it for a long time or quit completely.
But how long does it take before the first stage moves into the third?(a standard alcoholic about whom no one doubts anymore)?
It depends on your condition, character, health and gender. Maybe five to seven years, maybe a few months. If any problems arise: troubles at work, lost inspiration, many people console themselves in the usual way, and this is already really dangerous.
Which exit? Quit completely.
The first stage of alcoholism can be tested this way: try not to drink for three months.
Many people think it’s simple, but few can do it. Ultimately, during these three months, your body will recover and begin to produce as much dopamine again as you need to get high without drinking. Who knows, maybe later you just won’t want to start again?
For many families, the ability to stop drinking alcohol without the knowledge of the drinker is the only option for preserving not only family relationships, but also human health. Indeed, often the alcoholic himself not only refuses treatment, but also generally does not admit that he has addiction. In cases where conspiracies and prayers do not help, but the issue is still not resolved, pills may be the only way to change the situation.
How to take pills for alcoholism
Medicines in this category are not always on sale, but they can be purchased without a prescription at specialized outlets. But we must not forget that taking any medications without medical supervision can cause serious harm to the body.
Before you start giving pills for alcohol addiction to your loved one, it is necessary to conduct a mandatory consultation with a competent specialist, for which it is advisable to take the medical card of the future patient.
The doctor will calculate the required dosage and tell you about the features of taking the drug. All medications used to stop drinking are divided into several types, depending on their functional characteristics.
Tablets that cause intolerance to alcoholic beverages
The effect of drugs in this group is achieved due to the fact that the patient develops a strong aversion to alcohol. The basis for drugs of this type is usually disulfiram. There are enzymes in the human body that convert harmful acetaldehyde, which appears as a result of the oxidation of ethanol, into safe acetic acid.
Disulfiram blocks the action of these enzymes, toxic acetaldehyde accumulates in the blood, and the person develops symptoms severe poisoning. It suddenly becomes difficult for him to breathe, weakness and nausea appear, and chills begin. This is how intolerance to alcohol is formed. The most common tablets include:
- teturam;
- lidevin;
- esperal;
- Radoter;
- Antabuse;
- tetlong;
- disulfiram.
This series of tablets, used to help, should only be used in the presence of a doctor. The presented drugs have a number of serious side effects. A small dose of alcohol will actually make a person feel sick. Increasing the dose can lead to death. 
For effective treatment alcoholism experts advise AlcoLock product. This drug:
Esperal is an effective remedy for alcoholism
These pills for stopping drinking alcohol are quite effective, they are aimed at strengthening hangover syndrome. When taken, even small doses of alcohol can cause a negative reaction, and the patient will experience severe discomfort in the form of headache and nausea.
Tablets to stop drinking contain 500 mg of active ingredient. They should be taken with meals every morning for seven days, and then the dose should be reduced and continued for about two years, as maintenance therapy.
Alcoholism pills that cause aversion to drinking alcohol can cause a number of side effects, especially if taken with alcoholic beverages. It is also not recommended to take pills for people suffering from:
- diabetes mellitus,
- kidney pathologies,
- mental disorders,
- various types of hepatitis.
This drug can be purchased everywhere. 
Antabuse
These pills to stop drinking alcohol are similar to the previous ones, and also cause intoxication when taken alcoholic drinks. The main difference is that the drug is also produced in the form of a drinking solution, which allows it to reach the required concentration in the blood much faster.
It is important that the patient clearly connects the medication and alcohol intake; this is the main purpose of taking the drug. It should not be used by people who have hypersensitivity to the components it contains, as well as by patients with diabetes, pregnant and lactating women.
Do you still think that it is impossible to cure alcoholism?
Judging by the fact that you are now reading these lines, victory in the fight against alcoholism is not yet on your side...
Have you already thought about getting coded? This is understandable, because alcoholism is dangerous disease, which leads to serious consequences: cirrhosis or even death. Liver pain, hangover, problems with health, work, personal life... All these problems are familiar to you firsthand.
But maybe there is still a way to get rid of the torment? We recommend reading Elena Malysheva’s article about modern methods alcoholism treatment...
Read completelyTeturam
The tablets are aimed at preventing relapse in chronic alcoholism and helping to stop drinking. They can also be used for alcohol poisoning. After a week's course, an alcohol test is performed to assess the effectiveness of therapy. Identification of a negative reaction indicates the success of taking the pills. They are not prescribed to pregnant and lactating women, as well as to patients with kidney disease and heart failure. 
There are also pills to stop drinking that have a milder effect:
- tempozil;
- cyamide;
- colma.
They are based on calcium urea. The action of this group is less aggressive, but also short-lived. It is also recommended to use the tablets under medical supervision.
Colme - a powerful Spanish drug
Negative reactions are much milder than with previous drugs, but Colme is an effective means of inducing aversion to alcohol, making it easy to quit drinking. Colme is not toxic, so in some cases it is allowed to be used without the consent of the patient.
Contraindicated for:
- heart diseases,
- in case of allergic perception of some components of the drug.
Pills that don't make you want to drink
The effective results of drugs in this group are achieved by reducing the patient’s craving for drinking alcoholic beverages. Experts distinguish three groups of medications.
- Tranquilizers (diazepam, tazepam, phenazepam, nozepam, grandaxin, librax, elenium, roginpol, ivadol). A fairly effective group of drugs that reduce the desire to drink alcoholic beverages. The result is achieved due to the relaxing effect of tranquilizers. Tablets allow you to unobtrusively get rid of tension and the effects of stress. But it is worth remembering that taking tranquilizers can cause a number of side effects: excessive relaxation, a feeling of drowsiness and lethargy. Therefore, you need to be very careful when taking these medications by people whose field of activity involves an increased risk for themselves and others.
- Neuroleptic drugs (tisercin, fluanxol). Also effective medicines to stop drinking alcohol. They differ from the previous category in that they do not cause drowsiness. They have an antipsychotic effect that relieves excessive agitation.
- Antidepressants (Coaxil, desipramine, tianeptine, sinequan). Relieves the patient of anxiety. An effective remedy in the treatment of chronic alcoholism.
Apomorphine
Are there anti-alcohol pills that will cause vomiting immediately after drinking alcohol? Yes, and this name should be given as an example. The tablets act by stimulating dopamine receptors in the trigger zone of the vomiting center.
Thanks to this principle, harmful and toxic substances are quickly removed from the stomach. The drug is used in the treatment of chronic alcoholism; it helps to stop drinking due to the development of a reflex reaction. Taking tablets is contraindicated for diseases of the heart, central nervous system, tuberculosis and peptic ulcers. Homeopathic remedy Proproten 100
These are homeopathic tablets that can fight severe signs of alcoholism. They:
- reduce mental and neurological symptoms,
- help reduce cravings for alcohol, which makes remission longer in the chronic form of the disease.
Hangover pills
If the patient is undergoing drug treatment in a hospital, then a competent doctor will always start the course with drugs that eliminate the consequences alcohol intoxication. This will help reduce the risk of side effects during further treatment.
Potassium will help strengthen the heart muscle, and vitamins B and C will help improve blood circulation. Effective modern means is metadoxyl. These pills will not only relieve the consequences of a hangover, but also, with regular use, help you quit drinking.
Metadoxil - an effective hangover remedy
Metadoxyl, gradually accumulating in the body, is able to reduce the dose of alcohol. Helps break the chain of endless hangovers that lead to alcohol addiction. These pills, which help you stop drinking, are a new word in domestic medicine. They were first used to eliminate symptoms of alcohol intoxication in adolescents, and are now successfully used to treat adults. The drug is able to increase the speed of cleansing the body of harmful substances. Its use is contraindicated in pregnant and lactating women.
What doctors say about alcoholism
Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor Malysheva E.V.:
I have been studying the problem of ALCOHOLISM for many years. It’s scary when the craving for alcohol destroys a person’s life, families are destroyed because of alcohol, children lose their fathers, and wives lose their husbands. Often it is young people who become drunkards, destroying their future and causing irreparable harm to their health.
It turns out that a drinking family member can be saved, and this can be done in secret from him. Today we will talk about a new natural remedy, which turned out to be incredibly effective, and also participates in the federal Healthy Nation program, thanks to which until 13.5.2018(inclusive) the remedy can be get it for just 1 ruble.
The exact name of the pill to stop drinking alcohol is prescribed by the doctor based on the individual characteristics of the addict, medications are taken under the strict supervision of a specialist. What pills to take for alcoholism are decided only by a doctor, taking into account the form of the disease and the characteristics of the body, or the presence of various types of genetic diseases.
Will pills help you stop drinking?
You must be prepared for the fact that there are no magic pills that will completely cure alcoholism. Complete recovery from alcoholism is a complex, long-term process that is impossible without the desire of the person himself to be cured.
The ideal option would be for the person suffering from alcohol addiction to agree to stop drinking and undergo multi-level treatment in a specialized medical institution. A competent psychologist will help you obtain the patient’s consent in principle to the course of treatment.
If it is not possible to get initiative from an alcoholic, you can resort to radical measures - adding it to food or drink. They are invisible due to the absence of color and smell, but at the same time they systematically change a person’s idea of alcohol through unpleasant physical reactions after drinking it.
Basic principles of treatment
If you take only medications to help you stop drinking alcohol and do not take any further actions, there is unlikely to be any result. After all, the key focus of alcoholism treatment is patient motivation. There are a number of principles, following which, you can part with addiction, they are as follows:
The above treatment principles show that pills and drugs to stop drinking play a relatively small role in recovery. They are aimed primarily at developing a negative attitude towards alcohol in the patient.
Stories from our readers
Cured my husband of alcohol addiction at home. It's been half a year since I forgot that my husband ever drank. Oh, how I used to suffer, constant scandals, fights, I was covered in bruises... How many times did I go to narcologists, but they couldn’t cure him, they just ripped off the money. And now it’s been 7 months since my husband hasn’t drunk a drop at all, and that’s all thanks to. Anyone who has loved ones who are alcoholics should read this!
It is worth remembering that it is better not to add pills in secret from the addict, because the patient should associate drinking alcohol with a deterioration in his health. However, over-the-counter alcoholism pills are an important treatment tool.
If you are wondering what pills to take to stop drinking, then you should contact a specialist directly. But there are several drugs that are considered to be the most effective today. Which pills will help you stop drinking is decided solely by your doctor, who takes into account many individual factors.
How to stop drinking without medication?
It is quite possible to quit drinking without pills, because the main factors in treating alcoholism are well-founded motivation, great desire and willpower, and most importantly, the support of loved ones.
The following rules should also be observed:
- If you have an irresistible desire to drink, you need to stop and say to yourself: “I quit drinking, I will never drink alcohol again.”
- It is necessary to take a shower several times a day, and it is better that the water is cool.
- After meals, you should drink at least 10 glasses of water.
- After eating it is better to go out Fresh air, but under no circumstances go to an old company where you will be offered a drink.
- If you have a strong desire to drink, you should immediately go to the shower, this will calm your nerves and the desire will temporarily disappear.
- To stop drinking, you should not eat salty and spicy foods, because... it can provoke the desire to take a sip of beer.
- You need to take vitamins daily and eat more fruits and vegetables in unlimited quantities.
- You shouldn’t give in to depression, it’s better to watch positive films and comedies, listen to cheerful music.
What medications will help you stop drinking, what pills, a narcologist will decide individually. The right approach and a strong desire to recover will allow you to more confidently walk the difficult path to recovery. Remember that taking pills is not the key to success; to quit drinking, you need to lead a healthy lifestyle and maintain a positive attitude.

Hi all.
With you, as always on this blog, Antonyuk Ruslan.
Many who have suffered from the problem of alcoholism would like to quit drinking alcohol.
But they don’t know how to do it, they think that this task is impossible, or simply, they are afraid to face some difficulties.
There are also those who are happy with everything and don’t want to change anything in their lives. But back to normal sober life not only necessary, but necessary.
Surely everyone knows that overuse Alcoholic drinks do not lead to anything good. First of all, health suffers from this, problems arise at work, and the family is destroyed. The person begins to degrade.
Think about it - do you need it?!
Why pay such a price for a very dubious pleasure! We only live once! Therefore, you need to cherish every day you live, and not drink it away.
Well, you have these thoughts in your head - “I want to stop drinking alcohol, how can I do this?”
No - read why you need to give up this bad habit.
Yes - then read on and choose the one for yourself effective method stop drinking alcohol.
Well, away with talk about harm, let's move on to more specific actions.
And so, you are already “sick of all this”, you can no longer continue to “slide down”, and you want to quit alcohol, but don’t know how to do it?
Listen to my advice, maybe it will benefit you. You won't have to put in a lot of effort, because these ways to stop drinking alcohol on your own are very simple and effective.
Well, let's get started.
We'll live until Monday
We are not talking about the famous film, but about the fact that on Monday you need to start your path to sobriety.
Yes! It is the beginning of the week - one with optimal options to try to slowly get rid of the bad habit.
Why this period, you ask.
Yes, because Monday is the beginning of the work week and this somehow disciplines. After all, for example, few people would think of organizing some kind of celebrations (drinking parties) at the beginning of the week.
In general, there are much fewer temptations during this period than on weekends, when we are used to spending time with friends, celebrating various dates, visiting bars and cafes, restaurants. Some people “relax” to the fullest these days.
That's why it's easiest to start quitting drinking at the beginning of the week.
How to do it?
Take a calendar, choose your happy Monday, write it in front of it - “I want to stop drinking alcohol” how to do this - write for other days, for example, Tuesday - throw all the glasses out of the house... :)
To achieve this goal, I would also advise taking a few days off. This will be an even more effective way than starting to quit drinking on Monday:
firstly, you will be isolated from meetings with drinking buddies;
secondly, you will not be attracted by the windows of bars and shops with a lot of high-proof drinks.
You will achieve your goal if you avoid situations where you definitely have to drink.
Advice - spend your vacation away from various temptations.
Remove everything that reminds you of drinking
I consider this method one of the simplest and most effective ways to quit drinking alcohol.
If you are determined to quit drinking alcohol, make sure that nothing reminds you of drinking.
Throw out all the stocks of beer from the refrigerator, alcoholic drinks from the cupboard, in general, everything that has some degree.
If your hand doesn’t rise to pour it all into the sink, give this “good” to your friend, neighbor, etc.
In the case when it is unbearable to forget about a bad habit, I suggest getting rid of even the dishes in which alcohol is poured: beer mugs, glasses, glasses, corkscrews, etc., in general, from everything that reminds you of alcohol.
I'm not asking you to destroy it all or throw it in the trash - just put it out of sight (in the attic, closet, etc.)
And don’t be confused by the fact that guests will not drink alcohol when they arrive.
You will have a very pleasant time with a cup of tea, coffee or enjoying other soft drinks. Try it for your guests too ( if these are not “drinking buddies”) will be satisfied. Yes, it will be of great benefit to you too.
Eating before drinking alcohol
If the desire to drink still prevails in your mind, then I suggest developing a plan to “intercept.”
It consists in the fact that before you drink alcohol, you must get enough food.
Food, as we know, great way reduce the desire to drink alcohol.
Simply put, you need to eat until your stomach is full. Thus, this will significantly reduce the desire to drink, and also make the process of intoxication more difficult.
