Due to the peculiarities of the endocrine system, it is difficult for a woman to give up alcohol on her own. The body regularly needs strong drinks to stimulate the production of pleasure hormones. To quit drinking, the fairer sex must set a core goal that requires the complete elimination of alcohol. Preparing for failure minimizes withdrawal symptoms early in treatment.
General tactics for avoiding alcohol
Before a woman gets rid of alcohol addiction, she should understand the reasons for a bad habit. We must honestly admit that strong drinks have not helped to solve the life problems that have arisen. Most often, ladies join the green snake for the following reasons:
- badly paid position
- family problems;
- serious emotional upheavals;
- disorders of the nervous system;
- Friendship with people addicted to alcohol.
Realizing that alcohol only aggravated the situation allows you to independently break the connection with the bottle at the first stage of treatment. The sooner a woman realizes that even minimal doses of alcohol affect her social status, health and affect loved ones, the sooner a way out of the situation will be found.
Female alcoholism is more difficult to treat than male alcoholism. However, girls' ability to self-hypnotize allows them to quickly program themselves for treatment. Psychologists advise to imagine the changes that will occur after giving up alcohol. Free time can be devoted to family or a healthy hobby, learning the desired profession, which will positively affect the general condition and allow the woman to make new friends.
The incentive to stop drinking alcohol is determined for each woman based on life values. If children are planned, it pays to read about the complications that addiction affects the offspring.
Help in preparing for treatment should come from loved ones. You cannot blame an alcoholic person against the background of an unstable psycho-emotional state. A woman and her immediate environment should be prepared for the manifestations of withdrawal symptoms.
