Instruction manual
one
Try to convince a person not to drink. Be sure to calmly, soberly and without insult, talk about what the drinker misses in life. Using concrete people as an example, clearly outline the gloomy prospects of an alcoholic - illness, a shorter life span, insolvency at work and in the family. The main thing is that a person himself realizes the reality of the loss of life from alcoholism and has a firm conviction (fueled by you, your friends) in the need to stop drinking.
2
Try changing the drinker's lifestyle. Quite often, the cause of alcoholism is the monotony in life and the desire to embellish it with a minimum of effort. In order for a dependent on alcohol to have a desire to stop drinking, pay attention to new hobbies, help to resume classes in a forgotten hobby, or attract other people to help. He should have distracting worries, generate positive emotions, activities that provide an opportunity for self-realization and the formation of a sense of self-demand.
3
A change of place of work and circle of acquaintances is justified if the use of alcohol is a mandatory and regular norm for comfortable business or interpersonal communication in a team.
4
If the alcoholic denies his dependence or lack of determination to fight the ailment, you need to draw such a person for consultation in a specialized clinic, convincing him that this will not oblige him to anything. And the task of narcologists and psychotherapists is to prove to him the fact of the disease and help make a decision about treatment, depending on the individual characteristics of the patient.
5
Arrange for an alcohol dependent person to visit the Alcoholics Anonymous Club. It can also contribute to their awareness of the disease and, possibly, will lead to the decision to change their lives. A similar effect can be achieved through conversion to faith, which will lead to a revaluation of their values.
6
Do not in any form create favorable and provocative conditions for alcoholic beverages. Offer your help only if he is actively involved in solving his problem; otherwise, do not follow his instructions or work for him. Do not try to overcome drunkenness through conspiracies, the use of herbal or medicinal products, which in most cases, except for tangible financial costs, lost time, and in some cases life threats to the drinker, do not bring the desired effect.
