Alcoholism is a very serious disease that is difficult to fight. This ailment not only harms human health: it often leads to disability and death.
Alcoholism isn't just physical pain. He destroys families, makes the life of the patient and his loved ones simply unbearable. Not everyone can understand in time that he is alcohol addicted. Many continue to abuse, even despite the pleas and tears of those closest to them, including children who are suffering a lot.
What if mom drinks? This question is asked by many children. But they already have enough problems: puberty, study, relationships with the opposite sex. All these and many other factors leave a huge imprint on the psychological health of children. And what to do in this situation? Calmly observe day after day, as the mother - the closest and dearest person - drinks into oneself? In no case!
Rule one
You don't need to shut yourself up. There is no need to accumulate anger in your soul for the whole world around you. You need to try to understand my mother that she is bad, that she is sick. She can't get out without help. She does not want to change anything, everything suits her. In such an existence, she sees the meaning. Or maybe there is no point in living anymore? What to do in this case? First, find out the reason why my mother began to drink. Perhaps something happened recently in her life, because of which she began to abuse alcohol. It is necessary to try to eliminate this cause. Although it is difficult and not very effective.
Second rule
In order to help mom cope with alcohol addiction, you need to try to isolate her from people who negatively affect her. Under no pretext not to let them into the apartment, find something to do for her, load her with household chores, throw out alcoholic beverages. This method, like the previous one, is not suitable for everyone. It all depends on the nature of the alcoholic. If mom is hot-tempered, she can get angry with such drastic measures. She may also begin to go to other places where she will be poured, and come home drunk.
Third rule
You need to talk to your mother as often as possible, gently hint that she is an alcohol addict, that this disease is destroying her life and the lives of loved ones. It is necessary to influence her correctly, begging her to undergo a course of treatment in a rehabilitation center. The main thing is for mom to understand that she is at the mercy of alcohol addiction and she needs to be treated. Otherwise, no amount of rehabilitation can help her. The alcoholic must himself want to conquer the disease.
