Instruction manual
one
Try to start the fight with private conversations. If you have an alcoholic as a close relative, parent or spouse, then this conversation should be built with a personal attitude to addiction. In no case should you cause a feeling of guilt in the addicted, as this can lead to an aggravation of the problem. If it’s difficult for you to find words, then before the conversation, try to draw up a thesis plan for your speech. Put emphasis on what harm a person does to his health, career, social status and psychological state.
2
Remember the period from which the addiction to alcohol began. Try to suggest what could have caused addiction. Often people with an unstable character and a tendency to depression begin to regularly drink alcohol under the influence of the environment. If alcoholism has not gone into a difficult stage, then it is enough to limit the negative impact of the environment in order to get rid of addiction.
3
Observe the frequency of alcohol consumption. According to the drug classification, there are 4 stages of dependence. As a rule, the irregular use of alcohol and the appearance of a small dependence refers to the 1st and 2nd stage. At the initial level, the chemical dependence is poorly developed. In this case, doctors advise combating psychological dependence with the help of special techniques. Partially this function is assumed by public communities that work on the principle of "clubs of anonymous alcoholics." The effectiveness of this mode of communication of addicts is recognized worldwide.
4
Watch how the addict behaves during alcohol intoxication. If drinking is regular and is accompanied by binges, then you need qualified narcological assistance.
5
Consult a narcologist if you suspect that the addict has a severe stage of alcoholism. At the same time, it should be remembered that only family members and relatives can attend the first visit.
