Alcoholism is a real scourge and misfortune for many families. Unfortunately, the overwhelming majority of alcoholics do not consider themselves sick and do not want to be treated. Therefore, without the help of the closest people, the husband's overcoming of the addiction is out of the question.
Instructions
Step 1
It is quite natural and understandable that you are overwhelmed by emotions, anger. However, you should clearly understand that this is precisely the disease. The husband has reached the point where it is pointless to shame him, appeal to his conscience, remind him of his duty to his family, children, threaten with divorce. He needs help.
Step 2
If the husband has not yet completely lost his common sense, he himself realizes the harmfulness of his habit, every effort should be made to persuade him to seek medical help. It is best (if finances permit) to resort to the services of a specialized clinic. At the same time, try not to fall for the bait of charlatans, who promise almost immediate healing with a 100% result. Make inquiries, especially with the relatives of people who have gone through this clinic: how qualified was the help, what was the result, can you trust these specialists.
Step 3
Tune in in advance that the treatment will be long and complex. After all, doctors will need to carry out mental correction, normalize the work of all internal systems of the body, instill in the patient the need for a healthy lifestyle. Moreover, the approach should be purely individual, unconventional. It can take a whole year or more to finally get rid of alcohol addiction. And, unfortunately, no specialist will give a 100% guarantee of success.
Step 4
When an alcoholic categorically refuses to be treated or you do not have the financial resources for treatment, there are only two ways. The first is to deprive the husband of access to alcohol (for example, by obtaining judicial recognition of him as having limited legal capacity, so that the husband's salary is transferred to his wife). But this is a rather risky path. After all, an alcoholic, having not received alcohol, can become highly aggressive, dangerous, he will stop at nothing to get money for a bottle. In addition, a woman is simply weaker physically, her husband can take money from her by force.
Step 5
The second way is, on the advice and prescription of a doctor, to give her husband drugs that help relieve alcohol intoxication and other most severe consequences of alcohol intake. As a rule, crushed activated charcoal, various forms of aspirin, vitamin C, anaprilin, glycine, and abundant warm drinks help well.
Step 6
And, of course, think: if the husband exchanged his family for alcohol, is there any point in continuing such a family life?
