Recipes for treatment of alcohol dependence, presented in the article are not so complicated.
Understanding the causes of the desire in us to relax by diluting blood with alcohol is important not only from the point of view of the harm of alcohol. More importantly, understanding these causes can serve as a springboard for changing the lifestyle for the better, getting rid of complexes and unnecessary beliefs that distort your life. Start a new life right after the hangover - funny. But now it's possible - just read this article to the end.
Very often in a conversation we say "I think", "in my opinion", etc. However, if you think about it - often it's not our personal thoughts. Just because of laziness or lack of time, we do not think deeply about the subject of conversation. And what we give out for our opinion is someone else's idea that we heard earlier. Such thoughts, especially if they were often repeated earlier, are perceived as our personal. At the same time, if someone wants to challenge them, we are ardently defending them. But I can assure you, if you think about it deeply enough - it is very likely that you will understand that you do not agree with this idea or agree with some reservations.
Why do we allow others to think and act for us? Maybe because we do not know what to do at one time or another? When there is no internal knowledge, akin to the instinct, how to behave, there is a great temptation to think and act according to the prepared script or according to the morality that we were brought up. Naturally, this scenario and morality are well-known thoughts, norms of behavior and schemes of actions. There is nothing to think about, we follow them with a sense of duty. Even if we do not like it. At heart we often want to act differently. But in another way it is always contrary to the rules, social attitudes or someone's desire. And for this, in addition to courage and other necessary qualities, you need to know exactly what you want.
This is where the spiritual vacuum is formed, when a person does not know what he wants and how to achieve it. Instead, they impose on him something he does not want to do. Gradually, internal dissatisfaction with the course of life accumulates, complicated by unclear desires. And all this flows into a desire to escape from problems. Moreover, to solve a problem that you do not even realize is impossible.
In addition, we all carry the burden of our own complexes, neuroses and other conditions. As a result of all these vectors in our usual behavior it is difficult to diagnose many important components of our personality. Man, especially if he is inclined to self-deception, often does not know about himself many things, or denies them in himself. And it is very harmful for a person to be dishonest with himself. If the deception of society can still be understood (all of us, to some extent, doing this, trying to seem better than we are in fact), then self-deception can not be justified. Moreover, it destroys the person.
Surprisingly, many of these questions are answered by alcohol. I do not in any way agitate you to drink alcoholic beverages. But, I think, many already have this experience. This is quite enough. You just need to remember your behavior at the stage of alcoholic intoxication and with the "courage to be honest with yourself" you can draw very useful conclusions. This will be your recipe for the treatment of alcohol dependence.
If a person becomes more relaxed and free from complexes under the influence of alcohol, he can bring this experience into everyday practice. The deepest causes of the problem do not solve this. Does this mean that such a recipe for alcohol dependence is not effective?
Often a person allows himself to "relax" and do some things that are sober for him unacceptable. He does this because he subconsciously feels - he needs it. And the next day, alcohol gives him a complete "indulgence" in "minute weakness" and other sins. But in both cases the problem is not solved.
In general, the more strongly our drunken behavior differs from usual behavior, the weighty reason to think about it. In extreme cases, when an individual changes beyond recognition - one can reasonably suspect a split personality. Alcohol removes our internal inhibitions, which stem from the process of education and public morality. And also smoothes out our complexes. Thus, a drunken individual is freed from the influence of civilization and becomes himself. And then it becomes interesting. It is not the demon that gets into a person - this person shows his true face.
You can treat this in different ways. Many simply do not drink. But the point is not in this - the conversation is not about whether to drink or not to drink, but about some psychological causes of alcoholism. The bottom line is that the problem, like the enemy, is best met face to face. You can even solve it. It is better to know about yourself all the way up to the most unpleasant details and somehow work on this, than to wait until it turns into something terrible. Of course, identifying and eliminating these problems will greatly advance you in terms of personal growth and will achieve the best results in any field, from personal life to career and business.
If you approach this purely pragmatic, without unnecessary sentiment and social faints, then the essence of your drunken behavior is the projection of you as a person "in a nude" without social deception, without psychological clothing. And our task is not to "hush up this puncture," but to get good material for working on ourselves, to try to understand what our problems are hidden in, and to learn how to cope with them without alcohol. Moreover, the solution of these problems makes us not only a more psychologically healthy person, but also eliminates the psychological need for drinking.
