I have always wanted to give up drinking, but I can't succeed. What should I do?

First of all, you need to admit that you have become an alcoholic.

I think it is very necessary to know my situation, my thirst for alcohol, and how serious my deformity is. First of all, you should honestly admit that you are an alcoholic, an alcoholic and a heavy drinker. Only with accurate positioning can it be possible to prescribe the right medicine. Sincerely admit that there is nothing you can do about alcohol, and your life is a mess because of alcohol. Understand the inevitable causal relationship between staying awake and getting a healthy life. This is the first step towards abstinence. It is an important premise. Without this understanding, nothing else can be discussed. This is a most basic and extremely important attitude problem, where attitude determines everything.

2. How to judge whether you are really an alcoholic?

Only you can judge this question. Many people who joined AA have heard that he is not an alcoholic. If you want to quit drinking, you just need more perseverance, a change of environment, more rest, or more hobbies. But these people finally joined the mutual abstinence association, because deep down, they felt that they had been conquered by alcohol and were ready to get rid of their irresistible desire to drink at any cost.

There is a saying circulating in the mutual abstinence association: it is impossible to get a little addicted to alcohol. A person is either an alcoholic or not. Only people who drink know whether they have reached the point where drinking is out of control.

Self-rated alcohol dependence

If you really want to quit drinking but find that you can't completely quit; In other words, if you can't control the amount when drinking, you will always be drunk; Or, you don't like the taste of alcohol, and you drink too much to pursue the feeling of drunkenness and drifting caused by alcohol. Then you may have alcohol dependence.

13) because of long-term heavy drinking, mental disorders such as depression, anxiety and mania have appeared.

14) alcohol withdrawal syndrome is obvious: once you don't drink alcohol, you will have vomiting, convulsions, tremors (hands, face, tongue), delirium, epilepsy and other symptoms. It will ease after drinking.

3. Can an alcoholic drink normally again?

After a period of abstinence, alcoholics will find it okay to drink a few cans of beer or a few glasses of light wine. However, this will lead him astray and develop into a drink that must be drunk at every meal. Before long, the drunkard will binge drinking again and relapse. If you are an alcoholic, you have only two ways to go: either make your drinking problem more and more serious and bear all kinds of disasters caused by it; Either give up drinking completely, keep a clear head and live in a new and meaningful way.

As a member of mutual abstinence association, can't you even touch beer?

Not many people get drunk after drinking a bottle or two of beer. Alcoholics, like everyone else, are well aware of this. However, alcoholics will mistakenly think that they can control themselves to drink only two or three bottles of beer a day and stop drinking. Occasionally, they can do it in a few days or weeks. So they will come to the conclusion that even if they drink it, they will be "comfortable". However, every time you drink more and more beer or wine, or you turn to hard liquor. Finally, they relapse.

I can stay awake for a long time in two binge drinking places. Do I need to turn to the Mutual Abstinence Association?

Many people who drink too much can binge for weeks, months or even years. They can put alcohol behind their heads when they are awake, and they can drink or not at this time. They don't have to overcome many psychological or emotional difficulties, and they prefer not to drink. Then, for some inexplicable reason, even without any reason, I suddenly drank very much and especially loved to drink. Work, family and other civic and social responsibilities are put aside. This carnival may last only one night, or it may last for days to weeks. Once binge drinking is over, drinkers often feel tired and regretful, and make up their minds never to let this happen again. But this situation will come again.

Intermittent alcoholics may or may not be alcoholics. But if drinking becomes uncontrollable, the interval of binge drinking becomes shorter and shorter, and if this alcoholic dares to admit that he is an alcoholic, then he, like thousands of AA members, has taken a step towards abstinence.

People say I'm not an alcoholic, but my drinking problem seems to be getting worse. Should I join the Mutual City Association?

Many members of AA didn't give up drinking in those years. Maybe relatives, friends and doctors don't think they are alcoholics. Alcoholics themselves are often unwilling to seriously face up to the reality of alcoholism addiction, which makes the problem more complicated. It is worth repeating that "am I an alcoholic?" The judgment of this problem must be made by the alcoholics themselves. Only I (that is, neither a relative nor a doctor) can come to this conclusion. But once this judgment is made, the efforts to stop drinking and keep a clear head will be 50% sure. If you wait for others to make a decision, alcoholics may suffer more danger and pain from alcoholism unnecessarily.

7. Can I quit drinking by reading books and materials about abstinence?

Some people stopped drinking after reading AA's classic book Alcoholics Anonymous. However, almost everyone who can do this will immediately look for other alcoholics in order to share their experiences and help them stop drinking.

The best way to make AA's abstinence program play the greatest role for individuals is to let others know, accept the contents of this abstinence program and participate in it. Alcoholics can learn more about their own problems and learn more about how to solve them by cooperating with other alcoholics in AA local chapters. They will find that the past experiences, problems and hopes of people around them are similar to their own. They can overcome loneliness, which may be an important factor that makes them greedy for what is in the cup.

We think we are addicted to alcohol and are determined to give it up at all costs. But we can't get rid of repeated alcohol control (even hospitalization is ineffective), and we are very painful. Do we really have to die? How can I stay awake for a long time?

Here are some methods that will help you avoid drinking again as long as they are carefully implemented.

1, remember: alcoholism is an incurable, progressive and fatal disease.

Alcoholism is a progressive fatal disease. This disease is caused by human sensitivity to alcohol and psychological impulse to drink. At present, there is no medicine or psychotherapy that can be "cured"-we can't simply change our characteristics by hospitalization or taking medicine, so as to return to the normal and moderate social drinking state in the early stage of drinking.

Thousands of alcoholics can't stop drinking. Not only do we see many alcoholics die of drinking-from "D.T." or convulsions, or cirrhosis caused by drinking, but we also see many deaths caused by drinking that are not caused by alcoholism. Moreover, when car accidents, drowning, suicide, homicide, heart disease, fire, pneumonia or stroke are listed as the direct factors of death, the fact is that the serious drinking behavior of alcoholics leads to the conditions and direct causes of death.

Most of us haven't reached the final stage of terrible alcoholism, so now we feel far from that fate when drinking. But if we keep drinking, there is no doubt that we will only die.

Many alcoholics who can't give up drinking will blame themselves for their weak moral values, or think it's because of their unbalanced mentality. However, drinking is not morally wrong, because it is a disease. At this stage, it can't be overcome by one's own will, because alcoholics have lost the ability to choose freely in the face of alcohol.

So we don't have to be embarrassed about our illness. There's nothing to be ashamed of. It's not our fault. We don't want to be alcoholics. We don't want to get this disease, just like no one wants to get pneumonia. Experience shows that as long as you have a strong desire to quit drinking, fully realize the seriousness of the problem, and take care of yourself in an alcohol-free and happy way, you can still live a happy, healthy and valuable life like a normal person.

Step 2 stay away from the first glass of wine

"If you don't drink the first glass of wine, you won't get drunk." "More than one cup is not enough."

When we change from ordinary drinking to drinking, frequent drunkenness seriously interferes with our life and work, so we reduce the number of drinking, or try to control the amount of alcohol to one or two glasses, or switch from high drinking to beer or wine to avoid getting too drunk. Maybe we can stay awake for a while, and then we will start drinking again when there is an opportunity (some special celebration, personal confusion or nothing special at all). At first, we just wanted a drink. As one glass of wine has not caused any serious consequences, we think it is safe to drink another glass. But it turns out that this is just a trap-when we drink two or three cups, we feel good, and then we feel that it will be okay to drink one or two cups according to our ability. As a result, we couldn't help drinking too much and returned to the original drunken state.

Doctors who specialize in alcohol dependence told us that it was the first glass of wine that triggered the potential desire to drink, which made us out of control. This repeated experience leads us to the conclusion that it is impossible to try to control the drinking plan without getting drunk, and avoiding the key glass of wine-"Never do anything wrong with the first glass" can keep us awake for a long time.

Alcohol dependence is an addiction to alcohol. As a soft drug, alcohol is just like any other addictive substance. If we want to stay in a state of recovery, we must stay away from the first anesthetic that causes our addiction.

Step 3 Use the "24-hour" plan

In the days of alcoholism, we often solemnly swear "never to drink again" when we are very uncomfortable. "I swear not to drink for a year." From the bottom of my heart, we really don't want to get drunk again. Of course, some people will have reservations: saying that this oath is only for "spirits", not for beer. In fact, beer and wine can also make us drunk, but we just need to drink more to achieve the same effect as white wine. Drinking beer and wine is no less harmful to us than drinking spirits.

However, after a while, vows and painful memories will be forgotten. At some point, we started drinking again. Our forever will never last.

Of course, some of them did keep their promises and quit for a long time, two months, six months, or a year. Until the time came, we felt that we should be able to drink freely and control it ... We resumed drinking and soon got into the original trouble with new guilt and regret.

Alcohol dependence is a permanent and irreversible disease. Our experience tells us not to swear to stay awake for a long time. A more practical and effective statement is: "I just don't drink today."

Maybe we drank it yesterday, but we can decide not to drink it today. No matter what kind of temptation and anger we encounter, we try to avoid drinking the first glass of wine today.

If the desire to drink is too strong, then divide the 24 hours into smaller units-at least one hour-and we can tolerate the discomfort caused by this temporary abstinence, then one more hour! Another hour! Go ahead. If we succeed today, we have reason to believe that we can succeed tomorrow.

The "24-hour" plan is very casual. We can start over at any time, no matter where we are. At home, at work, in the hospital ward, at 4 pm or 3 am, we can always decide not to touch alcohol for the next 24 hours or 5 minutes.

We are just trying to live today (now), just to stay awake-it really works. Once this way of thinking becomes a part of our thinking, we find that a 24-hour life is equally effective and satisfying for dealing with other things.

Step 4 take action

The more we want to stay away from alcohol, the more we want to drink. So simply staying away from alcohol (or not thinking about drinking) is not enough.

Once you stop drinking, how do you spend your free time? Most of us have formal work to do, but we still have a lot of free time to kill. Therefore, we must cultivate new hobbies, arrange colorful activities to fill these hours, and at the same time find a suitable outlet for the energy once addicted to alcohol.

There are many meaningful things that are suitable for us to do.

1. When you start abstinence, you can take a walk or take a brisk walk. Especially to new places you've never been before. Go for a leisurely stroll in the park or country road, but it's not a tiring March.

2. read. Although some of us can't settle down to study, we really should read some books, which can broaden our horizons, increase our life experience and concentrate more.

Visiting museums or galleries, some people choose photography is also good.

4. Swimming, running, cycling, yoga or other exercises recommended by doctors.

5. Deal with long-neglected housework. Tidy up the wardrobe, dresser, file documents in different categories, or deal with things that we have put off for a long time. But when we do these things, we should not be greedy and do what we can. Don't clean the whole kitchen or all the files at once, but clean one drawer or one folder at a time and do other work another day.

6. Try to cultivate new hobbies. Choose activities that are not too expensive or demanding, purely entertaining, without competitive pressure and refreshing. Such as singing, writing, tropical fish, carpentry, basketball, cooking, bird watching, amateur performances, wood carving, gardening, guitar, movies, dancing, stone carving, potted plants, collection and so on. Many people find that the activities they really like now are actually hobbies that they never considered trying in the past.

7. regain the fun of the past. A watercolor painting, table tennis or go, reading notes, etc. The one you haven't polished for years, continue these hobbies. But if you think it's no longer suitable for you, give it up.

8. Go to class. Learn Japanese or English? Love history or math? Want to know about archaeology or anthropology? Or cooking, computer operation, and then go to correspondence, TV University or adult education (just interest, not necessarily credit certificate). There are many places where you can take classes only once a week. Why not try it? Taking classes can not only broaden your horizons, but also broaden your life. In case you are tired of the content of the class, don't hesitate to quit immediately and learn to give up activities that are not beneficial to you or have no positive, positive and healthy significance. Let us summon up courage to face it again and have the opportunity to appreciate a new side of life besides drinking.

9. Volunteer to do some useful services. Many hospitals, children's service institutions and social welfare organizations are in great need of volunteers to provide various services. We can have many choices. When we can contribute to others, even if it is only a trivial service, we will find it particularly useful. Even when we talk about the process of participating in these activities and related information, we will feel very interested and particularly involved.

10. As most of us know, there are many ways to get a new hairstyle, wear new clothes, change glasses, or even update teeth, which will have unexpected pleasant effects.

1 1. Relax. Not everything we do in our daily life must be positive and innovative. We also need to do some activities purely for fun, such as kites, zoos, comedy movies, soul music, detective stories and so on. If you don't like them, then find other fun activities that have nothing to do with drinking, just treat yourself.

Step 5 change old habits

In the process of drinking, we have fixed time periods, familiar places and habitual activities. Especially when we are tired, hungry, lonely, angry or particularly happy, these seemingly ordinary and repetitive scenes are dangerous traps for our sober life.

When we first quit drinking, it is very helpful to look back on our past drinking habits to find ways to overcome our addiction. The place where we are often used to buying wine may be the supermarket we pass by when we go to work. Each of us always has our own favorite place to drink. Whether drinking with friends or drinking at a fixed time every day, we can find out when and which days we are used to drinking from the past drinking trajectory.

We can adjust all the details of life related to drinking problems.

Step 6 use candy or drinks

Try not to let yourself be hungry-when you are hungry, the desire to drink is even stronger. At this time, eating sweets or snacks and eating nutritious food seems to reduce our thirst for alcohol. Because sweetness can inhibit the impulse to drink, the eating process itself will bring a series of new body movements: chewing and swallowing when drinking drinks, milk, biscuits, fruits, etc. This is also very helpful to change the old habits when drinking.

When some alcoholics hear the advice of eating more instead of drinking more, they may worry about whether they will get fat if they eat too much. In fact, after replacing the calorie supply of alcohol with a healthy and balanced diet, some overweight people have removed excess fat and lost weight. Of course, some people may get fat, but it can be controlled-after all, it is much easier to lose weight than to give up drinking.

According to the conclusion of current medical research, eating more foods rich in vitamin B can not only make up for the vitamin deficiency caused by long-term alcoholism, but also help reduce alcohol addiction, so it is very meaningful to supplement multiple vitamins, especially vitamin B, every day.

So the next time we face the urge to drink, we might as well have some candy or drinks. At least you can put off the idea of drinking for an hour or two.

The reason for drinking again is related to the sensitivity of the body to alcohol and the psychological impulse to drink. No matter what bad consequences will be brought about by drinking again, you can't overcome it by your own perseverance. Like other diseases, there will be some characteristic clinical manifestations. Once you become dependent on alcohol, suddenly stop drinking or suddenly reduce the amount of alcohol you drink, there will be many physical discomfort symptoms, which is called alcohol withdrawal syndrome. For convenience, some people divide alcohol withdrawal syndrome into three stages according to time and severity: the first stage of alcohol withdrawal syndrome: it usually appears 6 ~ 12 hours after drinking, showing tremors in both hands. In severe cases, it can accumulate the whole upper limb or even the trunk. In severe cases, besides common symptoms such as anorexia, insomnia and irritability, tongue trembling may also occur. The second stage of alcohol withdrawal syndrome: it occurs 24 ~ 72 hours after alcohol withdrawal. In addition to the above symptoms, auditory hallucinations often occur, and the content is mostly abuse or persecution, which can lead to impulsive behavior and less excitement. Three-stage alcohol withdrawal syndrome: delirium tremens, which often occurs 72 hours after the last drinking. At this time, the patient is unconscious, has obvious tremor, walks unsteadily, and may have various vivid hallucinations, such as seeing various small animals, and the patient shows nervousness, anxiety and fear. The memory of patients is obviously impaired, and some patients may have epileptic convulsions. Even in developed countries, once delirium tremens occurs, the total mortality rate of treated patients can still reach 10% ~ 15%, and even higher for untreated patients. Therefore, it is impossible for long-term drinkers to suddenly stop drinking. If you highly suspect alcohol dependence, you should go to a specialized hospital for treatment as soon as possible. People who form alcohol dependence can't control their drinking behavior or their drinking quantity, so can they still drink normally after a period of abstinence? As far as we know, no one has ever been able to drink "normally", or just stopped drinking for months or years in social situations. Once a person develops from binge drinking to uncontrolled and desperate binge drinking, there is no turning back. Alcoholics don't deliberately drink to cause trouble, but excessive drinking is bound to cause trouble. Many people who depend on alcohol think that it is okay to drink a few cans of beer or a few glasses of light wine after a period of abstinence. Not many people get drunk after drinking a bottle or two of beer. So I mistakenly thought that I could quit by drinking only two or three bottles of beer every day. Occasionally, they can do it in a few days or weeks. Then it will be concluded that even drinking will be "comfortable". However, they will drink more and more beer or wine at a time, and before long, they will drink as much as before. Another wrong idea is to replace high alcohol with low alcohol. For alcoholics, wine is wine. No matter whether it is martini, whisky and soda water, champagne or a small glass of beer, no matter what wine you drink, it will lead to excessive drinking and repeated drinking. Therefore, it is very dangerous for alcoholics to try to control their own alcohol consumption or to drink only low-concentration alcohol after abstinence for a period of time. But in order to ensure complete abstinence from alcohol, it can only be a teetotaler. How can we do that? In addition to completing the treatment of alcohol withdrawal under the guidance of a doctor, you should also receive long-term rehabilitation treatment, including the treatment of related psychological or mental diseases, anti-relapse drugs, psychotherapy and joining some self-help rehabilitation organizations. As long as you have the desire to give up drinking and make unremitting efforts, you will succeed.

8. Have a good rest

Alcoholics generally don't know why they are tired. In fact, there are at least three reasons from the characteristics of alcohol: ① alcohol is a high-calorie beverage, which can provide energy quickly; ② Alcohol paralyzes the central nervous system, making alcoholics unaware of the symptoms of physical discomfort; (3) When the paralysis of drunkenness gradually disappeared, the anxiety that followed caused another kind of tension.

After we stop drinking, the feeling of anxiety will last for a while, which will lead to depression and insomnia. Meanwhile, we often feel very tired and sleepy. These two situations often appear alternately. As the process of abstinence continues, these two problems will gradually improve, so don't worry.

This reminds us that in the initial stage of abstinence, we must have a full rest. Because when we are tired, we often have the idea of picking up the first glass of wine again.

Many of us are anxious to know why sometimes we suddenly want to drink for no reason. If we carefully analyze the situation at that time, we will find that this kind of situation often happens when we feel particularly tired, but we didn't understand the connection at that time. We often spend too much energy and don't get enough rest. Generally speaking, eating a fast food, a snack or taking a nap at this time can immediately recover, and the idea of wanting to drink will disappear. Even if you don't fall asleep right away, just lie down for a while or take a nap in the chair, you can relax and eliminate fatigue. Of course, if you can arrange enough rest time for yourself in your daily plan, the effect will be better.

Insomnia often occurs after abstinence. And "insomnia" is too often used as an excuse to have a drink or two, so we must take some measures to help ourselves avoid drinking again.

Sometimes, instead of tossing and turning in bed, it is better to do something you like. Even at one or two in the morning, you might as well get up and read or write until your body needs a rest.

Re-examine your living habits and see if some bad habits have caused your sleep disorder. For example, did you drink too much tea or coffee in the evening? Is the diet moderate? Do you have moderate exercise? Is the digestive system functioning normally?

In addition, many traditional folk remedies are also very effective in solving insomnia. For example, drink a cup of hot milk, take a deep breath, take a hot bath, read a boring book or enjoy light music.

If the situation does not improve or even worsen, we suggest seeking a doctor who knows better about the problem of alcohol addiction.

We must remember that sleeping pills can't solve the insomnia problem of our alcoholics. Experience shows that dependence on drugs will inevitably lead to relapse! Moreover, sleeping on drugs requires great risks. Therefore, we would rather endure short-term discomfort than risk taking drugs until the body returns to healthy sleep habits.

After getting rid of the shackles of alcohol, many of us were horrified to find that we had a vivid nightmare, dreaming that we were drinking again in the dead of night or at dawn. We are so shocked and miserable about drinking again, but this phenomenon is not a bad thing. It shows that we have really repented and realized that we can't continue to drink too much, so we also agree with our choice to stay awake in dreams and subconsciously.

When we can sleep peacefully without drinking, it feels so beautiful, a pure physical and mental pleasure, and we don't have to suffer from hangovers anymore, and we don't have to worry about embarrassing situations such as drunken gaffes and blank memories. This means that we have been able to greet a new day with gratitude and hope!

9. occasions of careful drinking

At the beginning of abstinence, it is wise to keep a proper distance from your former fair-weather friends, or find a reasonable excuse to avoid banquets with drinking as the main activity. But sooner or later, I will attend some drinking parties, so how to face the wine market is very important.

If the host is an old friend, you can inform yourself in advance that you have given up drinking now; Or at least one partner knows that we are quitting drinking and understands the importance of this to us-he can support you and reduce the pressure you will bear.

In addition, if it is good for your stomach to supplement some nutrition before attending the party, you can also take a small bag of your favorite candy or substitute food with you. Sometimes if there is still a long time to drink after dinner, we can leave early. Most people hardly care about our leaving. They are busy drinking and things like that.

Generally speaking, we should not be too nervous, because (1) others don't drink as we thought (2) very, very few people notice or care whether we drink (3) love our friends or relatives, and they are happy to see that we don't drink.

At the party, relatives and friends who drink may ask:

"What do you drink?"

"It doesn't matter if you only have one drink."

"Why don't you drink?" ... and so on.

We try to explain it in a way that doesn't lie, so that others can understand and accept it faster. For example, "health factors", "doctor's advice" and "I find myself unfit to drink". Most people can accept that we don't drink now and don't ask me any more questions.

Of course, the sooner you tell the truth to people you know, the better. Most friendly people will appreciate our honesty and encourage us to try to get rid of alcohol addiction. Telling others loudly that we don't drink helps us a lot and strengthens our determination to stay awake. At the same time, there may be a side effect: sometimes we make such a statement, which will encourage other people who want or need to drink, and others will not look down on you.

When we are asked what we want to drink, most of us can accept soda or other drinks, which will make us more comfortable.

We don't want others to pay too much attention to our abstinence, which is normal, but we hope to show it to you in a cautious and secret way rather than in an open way. But sometimes a well-meaning, well-meaning friend or family member inadvertently cares too much about our recovery from alcohol addiction. This may make us feel quite embarrassed. At this time, it is best to be patient as much as possible, usually no more than 2 minutes. When we feel calm, we can calmly explain that we sincerely thank them for their concern.

Sometimes a person who drinks a lot or a former drinking buddy is very dissatisfied with your sudden cessation of drinking. When you are unhappy in this forced situation, please remember that there are thousands of bar friends in Qian Qian who are giving up drinking and supporting you. Even if we are not at the scene, our hearts are with you. You should learn to avoid such people, and sometimes you can find an excuse to leave directly, even if it is not a big deal to offend such people. After all, we just take necessary measures to keep healthy.
