2. Constant problems in family life. Usually, the wives of drinking husbands had the same fathers, so they subconsciously chose a husband for themselves, who already suffered from addiction or had the prerequisites for its occurrence. Moreover, such women themselves provoke their husbands to crave alcohol with their constant reproaches, eternal control. By depriving the husband of the opportunity to be the head of the family, they push him into the abyss of alcoholism, since it is there that most of these men are looking for an outlet and reassurance.

5. For some men who have a hereditary predisposition to alcoholism, the kind of people around them is very important. If his friends or co-workers often take alcoholic beverages, then over time he may become addicted and start drinking vodka regularly.
6. For some people, alcohol is an opportunity to draw attention to yourself. Usually, such alcoholism is typical for adolescents, but an adult cannot be an exception.

Rules of Conduct with an Alcoholic Husband

If you want to understand how a wife can make her husband stop drinking without the help of specialists, then start with yourself. Your correct behavior will create fertile ground for overcoming the addiction:

1. Stop patronizing the faithful and do not solve the problems that have arisen with him because of his own drunkenness. Otherwise, your concern will become something ordinary and obligatory for him, and in such a situation he simply does not want to change anything. Do not make excuses and apologize for his bad behavior from friends and management. He must solve these troubles himself, because they arose through his fault. You do not need to put him to bed and undress him if he came home drunk as an insole. Let him sleep anywhere, so that in the morning he could estimate how drunk he was.
2. Often, if a wife tries to force her husband to stop drinking, he blackmails her by leaving the family. Do not pay attention to such threats, because the drinker is simply afraid to make important cardinal decisions. This is a common blackmail, nothing more.
3. Usually, the person who makes you stop drinking thinks so often about the needs of the drinking partner in life that he forgets about himself. It is not right. Do not stop taking care of yourself, do your favorite hobbies. This can help increase your spouse's self-respect. Then the drinking man will not want to lose his beautiful, self-confident wife and can decide for himself to stop drinking.
4. If your spouse has a severe hangover or withdrawal symptoms, you shouldn't buy him a bottle of beer to drink. It is at this point that you have a chance to make him stop drinking. But before you persuade your spouse to give up alcohol, offer him your help and help get rid of abstinence with home remedies or medication. In this state, a person will agree to any help and will agree to everything.
5. When the faithful is sober, seriously talk about treatment for alcohol addiction. Don't agree to his promises to quit drinking on your own. Tell him that you will only stay with him if he begins to recover from addiction.

Home treatment

If you have found a way to force your husband not to drink, then you will need help, because at first desire alone is not enough, you need to overcome psychological dependence. The following methods can be used to combat addiction:

• Medication. Even if we are not talking about the injection or ampoule coding method, you should consult your doctor before taking special pills or drops for alcoholism. The thing is that any drug has its own contraindications. Therefore, it is so important to know the state of the patient's body. Only a doctor will be able to choose an effective drug that will help her husband quit drinking and will not have a negative effect on the body.
• More harsh coding methods involve inserting an ampoule with a drug under the skin, which either causes alcohol intolerance or suppresses the feeling of pleasure from taking an alcoholic drink. Such coding is performed only by a narcologist with the written consent of the patient. The encoding period can be from 6 months to 5 years. The procedure can be carried out three times. If the coding was carried out with a drug that causes alcohol intolerance, then from taking even a small dose of alcohol, the patient may experience serious health problems (up to death).

• Hypnotic coding is suitable for suggestible patients. It is very important that they themselves agree to this procedure and completely trust the doctor. To obtain a lasting effect, you will need several sessions.
• Folk methods. This includes not only herbal treatment, but also the use of various conspiracies, prayers. For such treatment, you can contact traditional healers or carry out procedures and rituals yourself.
• Sometimes acupuncture is used to induce aversion to alcohol. Due to the effect on bioactive points, a persistent aversion to alcohol is formed. For treatment, you will need to go through a whole course of sessions. This technique is especially effective in preventing relapse.
