Rules of conduct with an alcoholic husband
If you want to understand how a woman can get her man to stop drinking without the help of specialists, then start with yourself. Your correct behavior will create fertile ground for overcoming addiction:
- Stop patronizing the believers and do not solve the problems that have arisen with him because of his own drunkenness. Otherwise, your concern will become something ordinary and a must for him, and in such a situation he simply doesn't want to change anything. Do not apologize and apologize to friends and management for their bad behavior. He has to solve these problems himself because they were caused by his fault. You don't have to put him to bed and undress when he comes home drunk. Let him sleep everywhere so he could assess how drunk he was in the morning.
- When a woman tries to force her husband to stop drinking, he often blackmailed her by leaving the family. Do not pay attention to such threats, because the drinker is simply afraid of making important cardinal decisions. This is common blackmail, nothing more.
- Usually, the person who makes you stop drinking thinks about the drinking partner's needs in life so often that he forgets himself. That is not right. Do not stop taking care of yourself, go about your favorite hobbies. This can help build your spouse's self-esteem. Then the drinker does not want to lose his beautiful, self-confident wife and can decide for himself to stop drinking.
- If your spouse has a severe hangover or withdrawal symptoms, you shouldn't buy them a bottle of beer to drink. At this point, you have the option to get him to stop drinking. But before you can persuade your spouse to give up alcohol, offer your help and use home remedies or medication to help get rid of the abstinence. In this state, a person will agree to any help and will agree to anything.
- When the believer is sober, speak seriously about alcohol addiction treatment. Do not accept his promise to stop drinking. Tell him that you will only stay with him when he begins to recover from his addiction.

Only a doctor can choose an effective drug that will help her husband stop drinking and will not negatively affect the body.
- With harder coding methods, an ampoule with a drug is inserted under the skin, which either causes an alcohol intolerance or suppresses the feeling of pleasure when taking an alcoholic drink. Such coding is only performed by a narcologist with the written consent of the patient. The coding time can be between 6 months and 5 years. The procedure can be carried out three times. If the coding was carried out with a drug that causes alcohol intolerance, the patient can experience serious health problems (including death) even with a low dose of alcohol.
- Hypnotic coding is suitable for suggestible patients. It is very important that you agree to this procedure yourself and fully trust the doctor. Several sessions are required to have a lasting impact.
- Folk methods. This includes not only herbal treatment, but also the use of various conspiracies, prayers. For such treatment, you can turn to traditional healers or perform procedures and rituals yourself.
- Sometimes acupuncture is used to create an aversion to alcohol. By influencing bioactive points, a persistent aversion to alcohol is formed. For treatment, you need to go through quite a number of sessions. This technique is particularly effective in preventing relapse.
