The question of how to make people quit drinking worries many who have a loved one who finds themselves in a difficult situation. Most alcoholics do not know how to stop drinking. They do not realize that they are sick. Therefore, they do not seek to give up alcohol.
Instructions
Step 1
Use persuasion techniques first. Try to convince him that alcohol is ruining his life. Be patient, find out what can distract him from alcohol. Try to awaken the drinker's interest in a particular activity.
Step 2
Stop doing something for the drinking loved one. Don't solve his problems. Let him get out of different situations on his own. The drinker must be responsible for his own actions. Many of them are capable of experiencing pangs of conscience seeing the results of their drunkenness.
Step 3
Do not scold him when he is drunk. Wait for the right moment to chat. Aggression and threats will not make a person stop drinking.
Step 4
Only say what you can actually accomplish. If you said that his next booze would lead to a break in your relationship, then keep your word. Your indecision and connivance will give the alcoholic a reason to break his promise not to drink.
Step 5
Gather as much information as possible about all treatments. Learn about the pros and cons of each method. Tell the alcoholic person about them in detail.
Step 6
Engage significant people to influence the drinking relative. Perhaps the words of close friends will be more significant. Use any help of such people in order to force a person to quit drinking. Completely exclude visiting visits where alcohol is possible.
Step 7
The alcohol addict must realize himself that he is sick. At such a moment, your support will be especially important to him.
Step 8
In most cases, it is impossible to stop drinking alcohol on your own. In the body of an alcoholic, the metabolism is disturbed, and he loses control over the amount of alcohol consumed. In this case, it is necessary to consult an experienced narcologist. An experienced specialist will select an individual treatment.
Step 9
If a drinking person is really dear to you, walk with him the path of recovery from alcoholism to the end. Rejoice at his victories. He must understand what he was deprived of when he drank alcohol. Help him find alternative ways to relax. You will be supported by Alcoholics Anonymous.
