How can your family member or loved ones get rid of alcohol.

[Preeti161101]

Quitting alcohol is not difficult no matter how old the habit is and how much one drinks. But the one who quits alcohol should have the intention and the family should be ready to help him.

Each person has to do a different trick to get rid of alcoholism. Because everyone's physical, mental health is different and lifestyle is also different.

To get rid of alcohol, first of all it is necessary to win the heart of the alcoholic. The fear or superstition should be removed from his mind that giving up alcohol will harm him or reduce his sleep. By counseling him he has to convince his children, wife, parents or relatives and friends to live longer.

Some people just make up their mind to give up alcohol at once, while some people make up their mind to give up alcohol, but start again when the pain increases.

A person who drinks alcohol should start staying away from friends who ask him to drink or who drink daily.

One should spend more time with friends who do not consume alcohol at all or start going to a religious place or a park, public library or gym every morning and evening. In the evening one should start bathing by massaging oneself.

A person who abstains from alcohol should eat three meals at regular intervals. A mixed salad must be eaten with every meal. Fruits should be eaten twice a day. Two boiled eggs should be given daily.

Boil six or seven black pepper, one large cardamom, one small cardamom, one clove, one small piece of mullein in a cup of water, cool it and drink it twice.

Add two spoons of poppy seeds, one spoon of ajwain, two spoons of jaggery and rub and take ten small tablets. Take one tablet in the morning and evening immediately after food.

Dissolve as much turmeric in water on an empty stomach in the morning and give it to drink daily.

Give pulses three times a week and vegetables four times a week. Give mixed flour bread. Make curry twice a month. Once in a week, make desi ghee karadh or desi ghee sugar churi. Give coconut water once a week.

One should get used to walking as much as possible and doing some exercise or manual work.

Interesting methods! I’m sure these could be helpful to someone.

You don't seem like an alcoholic or tried to help one. The reason I say that is because you said "Quitting alcohol is not difficult no matter how old the habit is and how much one drinks."

Alcohol triggers your brain to release the reward-system chemical dopamine. This leads your brain to link positive feelings with drinking and motivates you to crave more. It also affects serotonin, which plays a role in things like mood and sleep, says a 2020 study in the Journal of Neuroscience.

Alcohol addiction can have profound—and increasingly dangerous—effects on the brain as it progresses. As noted above, alcohol’s interaction with neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin can increase “pleasure” sensations in the brain, necessitating increased alcohol use to achieve the same effects.

It is important to note that alcohol’s effects on the brain are self-reinforcing, and tend to worsen over time. “Alcohol addiction results in changes to brain chemistry and neural pathways such that as the addiction develops, the person feels normal without alcohol in their brain, but feels better with alcohol in their brain,” Dean Drosnes, MD and psychiatrist with Mindpath Health, tells WebMD Connect to Care.

Over time, however, with repeated drinking, the person feels poorly (anxious, depressed, sick) when alcohol is not in the brain, and feels ‘normal’ when alcohol is present. The new normal is the result of brain changes. This is why people often don’t understand that they have a problem; they claim to feel normal,” Drosnes says.

My mom left my dad for 2 years. He faced ridicule from all those people who he considered were closed to him and he to them.

To be honest, these people are very nice and quiet and agreeable to the outside world but not to their own family. Because they think that they need the outside world more than their family in emergency. They are delusional here.

After he faced ridicule from his workplace and all the people he knew, he began to see all the people for who they are and then, after all this show, came to his senses and slowly started to leave alcohol.

Such people need practical demonstration. They don't listen to anybody beforehand.

“Quitting alcohol is not difficult no matter how old the habit is and how much one drinks”….

That right there is so untrue. Alcohol is an addiction and addictions can be hard to overcome.
Wanting someone to stop doing something that’s harmful to them isn’t wrong, but sometimes the way people try to “help” is.

And ultimately, the person has to be the one to decide to stop for them to be successful…You can’t force it on them

My girlfriend's little sister is going through sobriety at a sober living house. When she first told me last week i was kind of shocked especially after everything my girlfriend went through and the battles she's faced with her sobriety i was just shocked and astound to learn she been in a sober living house for 3 months. I think it's great she's trying to better herself her life and she's even going back to school in the spring. I told her not to do summer it'll be to rough just try for spring classes. Anyways I'm really proud of my girlfriend's younger sister as my girlfriend is too

You had me until you started talking about eating all that stuff I have never heard of before,. I used to drink quite a bit. When I became unemployed I stopped drinking because it was one less thing I spent money on. When I started working again I decided that I didn;t want to drink anymore. That was over 25 years ago.

My dad used to drink in his 20's and when he started a family in his 30's is when he stopped drinking. He was never an alcoholic like at parties getting wasted as I remember we would have family members who couldn't control what they drank and over did it big time.

Alcohol is one of the hardest to quit a true alcoholic can die if they tried quitting cold turkey siezurs my cousin is loosing his battle and made it easy for me to quit after seeing what it does im talking like fiths of vodka in 2 hours or less

I'm sorry but this myTake just shows you've never had to deal with someone with an actual alcohol addiction.

[dustybiker]

Boiled down. A person must first want to quit drinking, must first want help. Nothing will work otherwise.

When you try to quit something, that mostly makes use of the consciousness which is subject to all kinds of excuses, rationalizations and stubbornness. I would just go straight to the subconscious and use subliminal audio to quit.

"Quitting alcohol is not difficult no matter how old the habit is and how much one drinks"

I didn't read beyond this false statement.

[Stevefiveo]

I never saw anyone successfully quit alcohol. The only think that made my parents quit was the liver gave out and they died.

Intervention. There has to be boundaries set any violation of those boundaries will have consequences if they so much as have one drink.

[MysteriousDarkness]

@BJP21
More times than not that doesn't work because when people do an intervention the person it is for is not 100% ready to quit and receive help

[Alex8736]

there is nothing anyone can do until the active alcoholic is ready even if it means hitting rock bottom

[Songomatic]

Stick your medical lollipop stick down their beautiful throat

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Use the alcohol as cleaner.
