He forgets what these "little joys of life" originally served. People head to the "all heavy", losing in this endless kaleidoscope of events of themselves. And one day they wake up, lost, broken and old and ask themselves: what did all life take? What have I done for close people and society? What did I become?
It is at such moments that a person realizes the importance that he makes in life decisions. He turns back and realizes that changing something is beyond his will. Then there is a stupid desire: an attempt to forget yourself with the help of alcohol. First, alcohol appears as a "friend": it calms, relaxes and helps to purify your mind. Then, imperceptibly, alcohol begins to turn into the worst enemy, which gently pushes you to the edge of the abyss.
Many experts - drug addicts believe that alcoholism is almost incurable, but every day they take a huge number of "lost faith in themselves" people. When a person realizes where his life is going and goes to the doctor on time, he, therefore, avoids the terrible consequences of alcoholism. Many people get rid of the initial alcohol dependence by visiting a therapist; other people need narcological treatment. However, the statistics are sad: millions of people die of alcoholism every year only in our country! It's worth thinking about this awesome figure!
The human body is designed in such a way that alcohol corrodes it slowly and gradually. Let's talk about what diseases can occur with alcoholism.
In the first place, the stomach suffers. First, chronic gastroduodenitis (gastric dysfunction, gallbladder dysfunction, rectal inflammation) appears. This disease causes periodic acute pain, which intensifies as the exacerbation. All happens because after the abuse of alcohol, the gallbladder begins to release digestive acids, not into the stomach, but into the walls of the rectum, thereby burning it. In the future, acute pains become so unbearable that a person has to take painkillers every second. Later, when the functions of the gallbladder and rectum are broken, there is a rapid inflammation of the stomach, which (without taking urgent measures of treatment) can lead to a stomach ulcer.
Gastric ulcer is an inflammation of the mucous membrane (similar to stomatitis that occurs in the mouth from getting mud), which grows and sharpens. Symptoms of this disease immediately visible periodic spasmodic acute pain in the abdomen, periods of exacerbation and relief from pain. The gastric ulcer can develop into a chronic form, if in time not to seek help from the gastroenterologist. But do not be reassured by imaginary illusions, ulcerative stomach disease can lead to death! Trying to ignore and anesthetize spasms, bleeding in the stomach may soon open. According to medical statistics in this case, minutes play a role! If you do not discover the opening of the ulcer in time, the blood will fill the stomach (internal bleeding will happen). Usually in such cases, doctors do not have time to take anything to save a person's life.
The next, no more "pleasant" disease caused by alcoholic beverages is the destruction of the liver (cirrhosis of the liver). Symptoms of this disease immediately visible. The human body stops correctly perceiving food, pains begin in the area of the liver and back. In some cases, the initial stages of cirrhosis do not manifest themselves in any way, but later (with more advanced stages of the disease), edema, itching, a sharp loss of appetite and a stomach refusing to eat, there is always a feeling of weakness and drowsiness, a decline in strength. At the initial stages, cirrhosis is easily curable; observing the medication and dieting the liver can be put in order (but work as before it will not).
Launched forms of cirrhosis manifest themselves in the form of poor blood coagulability, yellowing of the protein coat of the eye, the appearance of dark circles under the eyes. In this case, urgent medical intervention is necessary. Otherwise, a person begins to "melt" before his eyes and soon dies. But some people have a rather weak immunity, in this case, even attempts of doctors to save a person result in failure.
This is only part of what diseases can occur with alcoholism. When a person goes into drinking, he loses his particles, ceases to be himself, his friends and relatives turn away from him, and so he even more "goes to himself" and doubles the dose of alcohol taken. There is such a thing as alcoholic neurosis. People with this mental illness most often have lost their human form, they have sharp mood changes, there are bright flashes of aggression towards other people; such a person becomes socially dangerous. Often alcoholics lose their minds, the ability to think and clearly perceive the surrounding reality. In this case, you have to turn to narcologists, psychiatrists. People are forced to take sedative medications, hold sessions with him for self-training, talks in the presence of relatives. But it is far from always possible to heal the psyche of a person who is addicted to alcohol. There are cases when relatives had to permanently refuse to communicate with an alcoholic, to give it to a psychiatric hospital. This is a hard blow and a shock to any family!
And how many heart and vascular diseases causes alcohol. People are disturbed by cerebral circulation, vital vessels burst, memory and vision are broken. Because of the slow and unstable blood circulation, some people for a lifetime take their legs off.
At the moment, there are special communities around the world for people who are addicted to spirits. These societies are engaged in promoting a sober lifestyle, they are learning to re-enjoy life without taking vodka and beer.
