A Sober Lifestyle Is The Right Choice! Sober life in a drunken world

People who drink are often in some stage of alcohol addiction. Or close to the fact that the love of alcohol has become a pathological addiction. However, alcoholics often deny their addictions, refuse to admit problems, and refuse to be treated. Many of them are very categorical in their judgments: “Do not drink at all? And how then to relax (celebrate, go to the stadium, meet friends, live)?” The advantages of sobriety are not clear to such people.

There are also other people. They do not drink, but only an ampoule sewn under the skin and constant pressure from relatives keeps them. The benefits of sobriety in this case are hidden behind the constant dissatisfaction with others and the current way of life. But those who consciously refused alcohol feel the benefit of such a decision in full.

Pros of sobriety: health, freedom, life

What does a person do when they drink alcohol? Raises your mood, gets rid of stress, "washes the kidneys"? Many explanations. But from the point of view of medicine, a person simply harms himself. Alcohol, especially strong alcohol, irritates the mucous membranes of internal organs, disrupts the digestive tract, overloads the liver and kidneys, and intoxicates the brain. Of course, the mood rises, and the problems seem insignificant. However, all this is felt only in a drunken stupor. Over the years, new ones come: alcoholism, illness, degradation and death, often painful and humiliating. Perhaps, against this background, it is worth thinking about and understanding what the benefits of sobriety are:

How to come to a sober life?

If you could just say: stop drinking, and that's it. At the second stage of alcoholism, it is almost impossible to exclude alcohol from life by an effort of will. In the earlier stages of the disease, this is available. But first, a person must admit that he is addicted and sick. And not everyone is capable of this.

If there is the slightest possibility, then relatives of an alcoholic should at least try to return a person to a sober life. And this should not be done with reproaches, screams and threats. It is necessary to show maximum tact and patience so that the addicted person makes a conscious decision to be treated and subsequently never drink again.

It is also important to know the signs of all, including the preliminary one. In the early stages of the disease, a person is still able to realize that he is addicted, and fight it. Later, the mind and will degrade. If each of us clearly understood the threat, many could stop before the onset of irreversible consequences.

Experience in the treatment of addicts shows that the most effective method is the 12-step program of Alcoholics Anonymous

The most important thing is to fight not with the addiction to alcohol itself, but with its causes. Many people do not think about the fact that alcohol does not help to rejoice, does not remove complexes, does not solve problems and does not relieve grief. The whole effect of alcohol is illusory. A person simply slides down to a primitive level of thinking and ceases to perceive the real picture of his own life.

There is one more thing to think about. If the desire to “drown” problems can somehow be explained, then pouring alcohol into the joyful events of life is incomprehensible in principle. Don't good moments bring happiness in and of themselves? However, even pregnant brides spend one of the brightest days of their lives with a glass of alcohol in their hand, and feasts next to the baby's cradle are not uncommon. Alcoholic traditions, all sorts of gatherings in which huge doses of alcohol turn people into their likeness, are one of the main reasons for rampant drunkenness.

Someone is talking about tightening "alcohol" laws, about introducing new punishments. However, bans do not stop all people and not always. Sobriety will become a way of life for the majority only when the positive attitude of people towards alcohol is replaced by a negative one, and the benefits of everyone for without alcohol are obvious to everyone.

Attention!

The information in the article is for informational purposes only and is not an instruction for use. Consult with your physician.

In this article, we have tried to systematically and briefly outline the most compelling arguments in favor of giving up the use of any alcoholic beverages and leading a sober lifestyle that is natural for a person. Do not rush to leave the page, thinking that “we went through all this, and why do we need it”. Even if you yourself are sure that you are not ready to give up alcohol, you will still need this information in order to effectively explain to your children the dangers of beer, wine, vodka or any other alcohol.

The information is grouped into four thematic sections:

• physiological aspect (why is alcohol harmful to our health?)
• psychological aspect (debunking myths about alcohol)
• managerial aspect (alcohol as a means of managing people)
• artistic image (story “What is wrong with me?”)

Physiological aspect

Any alcohol contains ethyl alcohol. In beer it is 5 percent, in vodka 40 percent, in wine - 9. Alcohol can dissolve fat well. Remember how you spray cologne or wipe with vodka the place that needs to be degreased while doing some housework. Once in the human body, alcohol does not lose its physical qualities, retaining the ability to dissolve fat. Absorbed through the walls of the stomach, alcohol enters the bloodstream.

Red blood cells (small bodies covered with a fatty membrane that has a negative charge) are involved in the transfer of oxygen in the blood. Due to the same negative charge, erythrocytes, moving through the vessels, do not stick together, but rather repel each other. At the same time, the size of one erythrocyte corresponds to the size of the smallest vessel in the human body - this is designed so that these bodies can deliver oxygen to all cells.

When alcohol enters the human blood, ethyl alcohol breaks down the fatty membrane of red blood cells, and, having lost their negative charge, they begin to stick together, forming the so-called “grape clusters” (large lumps of stuck together red blood cells), which begin to travel through our body . The more drunk, the more alcohol enters the bloodstream, and the more such clots begin to travel through our vessels.

Naturally, sooner or later, these "grape clusters", which can consist of 1000 or more red blood cells, enter the vessels, the thickness of which is less than the diameter of the sticky lump. As a result, these bunches clog the blood vessels, and oxygen stops flowing to the cells of the body, because of which they begin to die. Most of the thin vessels in the human body are located in its internal organs, especially in the brain. It is on the example of the brain that we will consider this process in more detail.

Brain cells are called neurons, they store our memory. Neurons line up in long sequential chains, record all the information that a person encounters. When the "grape clusters" formed as a result of drinking alcohol enter the human brain along with the blood, they begin to clog thin vessels, limiting the flow of oxygen to neurons. Neurons begin to die from a lack of oxygen, and with them, entire neuron chains (in which our memory is recorded) die. It is this process that explains the well-known memory loss after drinking alcohol. You drink alcohol in the evening - in the morning you don’t remember yesterday’s events, you go into a binge for several days - you forget what happened a month ago, etc.

Part of the clogged vessels do not withstand blood pressure and burst. This is clearly seen in red eyes (one of the most detrimental effects alcohol has on vision) or a red nose the next morning. This process also occurs with moderate consumption of alcoholic products - the difference is only in the severity of the consequences.

Further, the picture unfolds no less interesting (if, of course, this word is appropriate here): due to the fact that a temperature of 36.6 degrees is maintained in the cranium, then, after a while, the dead cells begin to rot. The body pumps a large amount of fluid into the head through the spinal cord in order to flush the brain and remove dead cells, resulting in swelling of the brain. In practice, this manifests itself in the fact that in the morning you wake up with a “swollen head” and you are very thirsty, because. the body is trying to compensate for the flow of fluid. Then you go to the restroom, and all the dead cells come out naturally. The well-known phrase “the one who drinks alcohol writes with his brain the next morning” is, unfortunately, not a capacious metaphor, but a direct description of the process that occurs in the body of a person who consumes alcohol.

Similar processes occur in all other human organs, undermining his health, immunity and leading to regular illnesses. At the same time, even if you drink “moderately”, and this is a way of life purposefully imposed on society, the described processes will still occur in the human body, causing harm to his health.

For those who like to watch videos:

And here you can learn about the effect of alcohol on an example from nature. In particular, the article talks about what mutations occur with ants and how an anthill is destroyed when an alcohol-producing lamehuse insect enters it: The monstrous impact of alcohol and other drugs on society, using the example of ants

Psychological aspect

In addition to the well-known point that alcohol does not solve any problems, but only postpones them, turning them into a “snowball”, I would like to tell the following:

Any person who consumes alcohol thinks that it is his conscious choice. Many believe that this is their personal health, and they have the right to do with it as they want (including destroying it). But we all do not live on a desert island, and our every action sets an example for children and influences those around us. Therefore, each of us is responsible not only for ourselves and our health, but also for those around us.

To make it clear what we are talking about, and also to debunk the myth of the “free choice of an adult”, we present a visual experiment that was repeatedly conducted in ordinary kindergarten groups (3-5 years old) with almost the same result:

A group of children is offered to play “Holiday”, but they are given the condition that they will not be led, giving the initiative to them. Those. children are offered to essentially portray how they imagine the holiday. The standard reaction of the group is as follows: the children move the tables together, put their chairs next to them, sit down, put a cube in front of them, and place skittles in the middle of the table. After that, usually the most active child gets up and begins to say something like a toast, then all together “clink glasses” with their cubes.

This experiment clearly shows that already at 3-4 years old, the choice in favor of whether the child will drink alcohol when he grows up has already been made. In other words, already at this age, behavioral programs are embedded in the child's psyche, which with a 95 percent probability will lead to an unambiguous choice in favor of the use of alcoholic products. Every parent, at least sometimes drinking alcohol, should be well aware of whose merit it is, and who makes such a choice for their child.

Therefore, do not try to convince yourself of your conscious choice - the decision to use alcoholic products was imposed on you by the system in which you were brought up and raised. As a result, we get a situation where 100 percent of people are born teetotalers, and by the end of school, 95 percent of graduates drink alcohol, not caring about their health and the health of others.

This is also the merit of propaganda, which deliberately puts people in front of a false choice - to drink a lot or drink in moderation, while it would be right to make a choice between drinking alcohol or absolute sobriety. Believe me, to instill in us the idea of ​​"moderate drinking", huge amounts of money are spent. You don’t have to look far for an example: the famous series “Interns”, filmed entirely according to Western patterns. In one twenty-minute episode, the goodies take 5-6 smoke breaks and always have one or two boozes. This is how we are controlled, imposing behavior patterns, but more on that later ... (As an experiment, try to find at least one film without scenes with tobacco or alcohol).

At the same time, in relation to girls, the harm of drinking alcohol is even higher. This is due to the function of procreation, which is assigned to the female body. If the sperm of a man who contributes to the genetics of the unborn child is updated every three months (therefore, doctors recommend that men give up alcohol at least three months before conception), then for women everything is different.

The supply of eggs to women is given once for life. And although they are reliably protected in the ovaries, nevertheless, the only poison that can penetrate the membrane of the ovaries and damage the eggs is ethyl alcohol. Therefore, every woman who drinks alcohol puts the health of her unborn child at great risk, essentially playing “roulette” in such an important issue (lucky - a healthy egg will fall, unlucky - you understand). But, dear girls, if this is the first time you come across such information, then do not despair - those who decide to improve for the better, after being informed of their mistakes, God will definitely help and protect.

Watch a short film that debunks another alcohol myth, in this case about historical Russian drunkenness:

Management aspect

A natural question arises why the above is not taught in schools, why is the TV and our politicians silent about this? The answer, unfortunately, is not that no one ever knew about this, or that this is some new information.

The effect of alcohol on the human body has been known since ancient times. The fact that our zombie manager is silent about this not only in Russia, but also in many other countries, shows that those groups (oligarchic clans, structures, TNCs, banking conglomerates, etc.) that control the trends in our lives are not interested in sobriety of the population. Think for yourself - a person who does not drink or smoke will have to pay a pension up to 90-100 years. It is a completely different matter when at the age of 55 - to retire, and at 60 - already feet first. Alcohol is an effective tool to control people by shortening their lifespan and limiting their mental abilities.

To make it more clear, and not to be unfounded, we will give a short video about how GOST was changed to ethyl alcohol in the USSR, and how the phrase “a potent drug that causes paralysis of the nervous system” disappeared from it from 1972 to 1993.

I hope you understand that the physiological properties of alcohol have not changed in 20 years, and such decisions to change GOST could only be made at the highest level of the power hierarchy. And I ask you not to sin only on the USSR (or Russia) - in many other countries the situation is even worse.

You can analyze the management aspect in more detail by studying the Concept of Public Safety.

What is COB and where to start:

I had to talk a lot on these topics with acquaintances, friends, relatives - the most important argument that can often be heard in response: "alcohol helps to relax and relieve stress." Yes, it helps, but again, not relieving stress, but putting it off for later. But there are thousands of other ways to “relax and relieve stress” that are not only healthy, but also good for your health - spend time with family, work out, hang out with friends and much more. Of course, this requires more effort than relaxing on the couch in the evening in front of a zombie man with a mug of beer, but who said that it should be easy!

After reviewing the above material, it is difficult to take and stop drinking the next day. But this information may push you to further searches, which over time will allow you to understand this issue in sufficient detail to make a choice in favor of a sober lifestyle, for which a person is born. The health and future of our children (and our country) depends on this, but is there anything more important for you?

Story: What's wrong with me?

I go into the living room, immediately invited to the table. I look - everyone at the table has a frying pan, and empty. And each pan is different - in color, in size, in shape ... apparently, who likes which one more. Strange, I think ... Well, I sit down. They also offer me a frying pan.
“Why?” I ask.
- What do you mean why? Necessary. New Year's Eve, come on.
- What to give something?
Laughing... With a look like I'm a little child who asks some stupid things.
They take everything in a frying pan, make a speech ala "happiness-health", and how let's hit ourselves on the head with them. I'm shocked, I don't understand what's going on. And then they ask me:
- Why aren't you hitting?
- Yes, I somehow ... don’t hit, - a stupid feeling when you have to make excuses for not doing some stupidity.
This is where the weird questions start.
“What, you don’t hit at all, do you?”
- Well, yes, absolutely.
And even on holidays?
- Well, yes.
“And… are you one of those… who used to beat so much that then they were treated and now they walk around coded?”
– Umm… Yes, I have never done it.
Are you in a sect?
“I just don’t understand, why beat? It's unhealthy, your head will hurt later ... I somehow want to take care of myself.
- Oh ... Yes, on New Year's Eve everyone beats, nothing bad will happen from a couple of blows.
– I'm not sure about that.
- Yes, the main thing here is to know the measure! If in moderation, it is even useful, they say.
– Yes, how can beating be useful?!
- Beating should be moderate! Our people simply do not know how to beat, hence all the problems. How they get stuffed that they can’t get up later. And from a couple of blows with good, high-quality pans, nothing bad will happen.
- It seems to me that you all know yourself that it is very harmful in any quantities, and the quality of the frying pan has nothing to do with it.
- Pfft ... My grandfather beat my friend all his life, and nothing, he lived to be 90 years old.
“I think he could have lived much longer if it hadn’t been for—”
“What are you doing,” they interrupt me, “you want to forbid me?! If I'm not bothering anyone, then I can beat as much as I want! And in general, after work I have the right to relax!

Then I hear out of the corner of my ear something from the news on TV. “... shot down 5 people. Three died on the spot. According to preliminary data, the driver beat himself on the head with a frying pan before the trip ... "

The thought flashed through my head: “But these people, perhaps, did not beat at all, like their relatives and friends, and such a tragedy because of the beating.” Noticing my attention to this message, they immediately notice me:
- Yes, he just can not beat. There is nothing to sit behind the wheel when stuffed.
- But you support this whole culture of “moderate beating”, even if you don’t leave the house. You do, "like everyone else", and everyone else - like you. And as a result, everyone beats. Someone then knocks people down, and someone only maims himself without leaving home, but is there a fundamental difference here? You are all feeding off the same "moderate hitting" culture and feeding it yourself at the same time. If the culture were different, if it were accepted not to beat yourself on the head with a frying pan, but to do something else on holidays, you would do what this culture would tell you to do. Imagine, for example, that it would be such that all people would drink alcohol?
“Yeah, what the hell is that? What kind of fool would pour poison into himself? You're making up some nonsense...
“You see, it’s the culture that tells you what is common and what is nonsense. Maybe try to show some independence in thinking? This is the only way to figure out what is useful and what is not.
“What are you thinking, I make all the decisions on my own. I want - I hit, I don't want - I don't hit.
- Don't you think that these desires are imposed just by culture? Society would do just fine without beatings, but for some reason this “beating culture” is thoroughly warmed up in it. Advertising offers you more and more new frying pans, with different sizes, with different coatings, from different materials ... In films and TV shows, all heroes must beat from time to time, creating a positive image in the eyes of the viewer ... There must be many articles published on the Internet about how how scientists proved the benefits of 1-2 hits on the head with a red frying pan a day ... And then we read in the news how, due to the fault of beating, someone knocked down, killed, beat, robbed, raped, broke, stole, etc. Don't you think this is strange?
And here from different angles:
- Yes, you are strange!
- Oh, that's it ... Don't spoil people's holiday.
“Besides, you think too much.
I'm sitting here now and thinking... Well, what's wrong with me?!

sober radio

We encourage everyone to include sober radio and listen on the road or on a walk

For those who have found the time to understand the problem of alcohol and tobacco in more detail, we recommend starting with video lectures by V. Fakhreev “Lessons of sobriety”:

Is it harmful?

Sobriety is the natural state of a person: happy, creative, active. A sober person retains complete freedom from narcotic self-poisoning, whether it is harm to the body with legal drugs such as or illegal ones (heroin, amphetamines, spices, marijuana, etc.). This is not only a conscious rejection of bad habits, but also sound prudence, freedom from illusions and self-deception.

In the article, we will analyze in detail what sobriety is and what benefits and benefits this state gives us.

Sobriety is the norm of life, it is a conscious choice of any reasonable person. The decision to enjoy life without regularly or occasionally poisoning your body.

Sobriety contributes to the disclosure of our potential, our talents and abilities. It is much easier for sober people to realize themselves in professional activities. In the personal life of a sober person, too, everything goes like clockwork: we gain the warmth of family happiness and give the right educating children, becoming a role model for them.

By consciously choosing sobriety, we greatly strengthen our will, defending our independence from alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. Sober people find joy in themselves and the world around them, instead of poisoning themselves in an endless pursuit of a comfortable state, which, like laughing, constantly slips away.

In short, friends sobriety is one continuous benefit for us.

So why, despite all the benefits, is it sometimes so difficult to make a choice in favor of sobriety, thereby letting happiness, health and a sea of ​​\u200b\u200bopportunity into your life?

There are several reasons, but they are all in our heads. For example, we often justify our bad habits by relieving stress: “But how do you relax? After all, you need to relax after a hard day, troubles and other stresses ... "It's simple, friends - no need to strain!? Why flood stress with alcohol, if it is more logical to eliminate the root cause of stress? Of course, this is not always easy - but after all, life is given to us in order to learn and improve something. There is no point in relieving stress through drugs like alcohol. It is better to direct your life in such a direction, when for the most part only joy and positive, pleasant surprises and well-deserved rewards meet on the way. It's quite real! When you deliberately build your life in such a way that every day becomes a wonderful journey towards a dream, when there is a goal, and, and does not wait for us when you reach the goal, when you find your calling, but everything you take on is. It is then that you understand what a sober lifestyle means and what benefits it provides.

Of course, everything cannot always go perfectly, because any person can experience not the best situations in life. But this is the difference between sober people - they do not shift the blame on others, but draw conclusions, learn from their mistakes and, gritting their teeth, move on, and do not feel sorry for themselves over a glass or a joint. Living sober means finding happiness in yourself, and not being a consumer who, as a replacement, marketers impose bad habits - an illusion that does not even have the same colors that real happiness has, which we can create ourselves.

These same people skillfully accustomed us to stupid traditions, which we unknowingly attribute to our own choice and even fiercely defend it. We are talking about misconceptions that are common among many people, such as “a holiday without alcohol is not a holiday”, “Friday evening - you must definitely drink”, “you can’t watch football without beer”, “sobriety is not the norm, but a deviation” and so on. These are the hooks we've been caught with.

And only having gained sobriety, we begin to realize how vilely and professionally we are being hunted. A sober lifestyle breaks down walls of lies. When we begin to take a sober look at life, much more knowledge and opportunities open before us, which we stubbornly did not notice through the cloudy glass of the bottle. The illusion subsides: sober people, finding their natural state, along with it gain freedom.

Sobriety is freedom. To live sober means to live without artificial sweeteners of life, which only at first console, and then more and more start to drive into depression in their absence, that is, they form psychological and physical dependence. Conscious sobriety allows us to get out of this trap, and help others get out or not at all.

And it's not just words! If we, as parents, set a negative example, then there is no doubt that our children will learn it, and on a much more terrible scale. Therefore, sober parents are much more likely to raise sober children, for whom all roads in life will be open. Isn't that what all loving parents want? Therefore, friends, only by changing ourselves and learning a sober lifestyle, we become a clear example of how to live. And an example not only to their children, no. An example to everyone around. And this is clear evidence that by changing ourselves, we thereby change the world, no matter how pathetic it may sound.

sobriety lessons

Continuing the theme of child upbringing and maintaining sobriety as the basis of a happy life, one cannot fail to mention the sobriety lessons that V.A. Fakhreev conducts in Russian schools. These sobriety lessons are useful for both schoolchildren and students, and adults. Fakhreev explains in an accessible and understandable way how and why to adhere to a sober view of the world, how not to allow yourself to be deceived and not fall for the hook of the alcohol, tobacco and drug mafia. Sobriety lessons will be especially useful in raising children. In general, this video is suitable for both schoolchildren and the older generation.

The fight for sobriety

But not only children are influenced by others, we are all dependent on society to some extent. If we want our country to be sober, develop and prosper, then this is a great reason to change our life first, making it sober. Start small, so to speak. But even one fallen snowflake can turn into an avalanche! A sober Russia is a reality. We were told that our country has always been drunk. But this is a lie! Russia has always been one of the most sober countries.

The first drinking tavern appeared in Moscow under Ivan the Terrible in the 50s of the 16th century, only guardsmen were allowed to drink in it. Gradually, peasants were allowed to drink in taverns, such “kings of taverns” began to spread in Russia at a high speed.

It is worth noting that prior to this, alcohol consumption per capita was one of the lowest in Europe. But after all, it was necessary to replenish the state treasury, and drunken money seemed then an excellent solution. But you can’t fool Russians, Russian means sober! Temperance movements arose, the people in Russia refused to thump, even despite the fact that enterprising businessmen, trying to get people hooked on alcohol poison, handed out booze for free. But people did not fall for this divorce. Subsequently, even anti-alcohol riots and uprisings occurred, since the Russian people were against the sale of alcohol. There was a real struggle for sobriety! And this is quite natural - after all, an unclouded sober mind always clearly understands where is the benefit and where is the harm for a person and his development.?

But when the human body gets used to constant poisoning, the boundaries of good and bad are blurred, which, you know, pulls a person to the bottom and does not allow him to distinguish bad from good. Moreover, the Russians are told that we have always been a drinking nation, and drinking alcohol is our long tradition. Nonsense! Our tradition is folk sobriety.

For example, relatively recently, back in the early 20th century, in Russia, only 3 liters of alcohol consumed per person per year. 95% of young people under 18, 90% of women and 47% of men did not drink alcohol at all, that is, they were absolute teetotalers. But by 1913, the consumption of alcohol was 5 liters per year per capita (receipts to the treasury from the sale of alcohol then began to be called "drunk" money). But it turned out that this was just a warm-up before a real alcohol war, not declared, but actively waged against Russia - then real hell began. How brazenly and cynically the Russians were soldered can be seen in the documentary "Soldering Technology". This half-hour video has already opened the eyes of many to the chaos that is taking place. Please look online:

Unfortunately, it was precisely because of the targeted brainwashing and the widespread distribution of alcohol that alcoholization occurred, a Russian person was forcibly made a drinker. But there is nothing that cannot be fixed. There are more and more sober people these days. And you know, friends, you need to fight not against something, but for something. The fight should not be against alcoholism, but for people's sobriety, for a sober Russia. Russian means sober, and only sober Russia is and will be great!

In our time, a difficult struggle for sobriety is led by Vladimir Georgievich Zhdanov, chairman of the Union of Struggle for People's Sobriety. The main goals of this society are the return to sobriety in the personal, family and social life of the peoples of the Russian Federation, as well as the construction and development of a just society free from alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. If you are interested in the theme of the struggle for people's sobriety, if you want to know how much has already been done and what remains to be done, then please read Professor Zhdanov's speech. We will learn: Why is sobriety the norm of life? How did the movement for a sober lifestyle begin in the USSR? Who and what prevents the sobering up of the nation, including the younger generation?

It is very joyful that there are such purposeful people as Vladimir Georgievich Zhdanov. Leading his stubborn struggle for popular sobriety, this man changes the lives of many people for the better, proving that sobriety is a natural state of man. And it's true sobriety is the norm. It’s hard to imagine how many people this information has helped. Thank you for your work, Vladimir Georgievich.

sober lifestyle

A sober view of life is the purity and clarity of consciousness, not polluted by alcohol and other drugs. A sober person tends to always strive for new achievements in his physical, intellectual and moral development. It is unrealistic for sober people to live without a goal in life, and it is the goal that moves us forward and makes us conquer new heights. That's right, the main thing in our life is a dream, smoothly growing into a goal and lighting a fire in the chest. Sober people go to their goals, not paying attention to obstacles and not making endless halts with alcohol. Indeed, otherwise such halts begin to take more and more time, and the goal not only does not approach, it becomes unnecessary in the captivity of alcoholic illusions. Even things that are of great importance to us, and often the reason for this is alcohol and other drugs. Friends, if you are not yet sober, then please ask yourself: Mealcohol (and other drugs) delays or brings closer to the realization of dreams andgoals? » The answer is obvious. Even if not now, then in time it will become so. After all, each person has his own path, and sometimes we need this experience, often even negative, in order to eventually make the right decision and become better.

After all, a sober lifestyle is Healthy lifestyle. Sobriety and health are inextricably linked. We have fantastic abilities for self-healing, self-regulation and self-defense from any adverse factors, and sobriety greatly sharpens these abilities. Thanks to sobriety, we retain our natural youth and strength for a long time, and even choosing sobriety in adulthood, we seem to rewind time back, restoring our health and energy. Of course, it will not work to restore everything, but even what happens will pleasantly surprise you. After all, friends, by preserving and increasing our health, we are able to achieve much more than with a sick, alcoholized organism.

CONCLUSION

Everyone makes his own choice. The main thing is not to let yourself be fooled, not to turn into an obedient consumer, not to allow yourself to profit. Unfortunately, now the world is ruled by money. Therefore, you can immediately ask yourself two simple questions: Who benefits from our drinking?» Everyone but us. " Who benefits from us being sober?» To us and only to us. First of all, sobriety is beneficial for us. Thus, once the stakeholders have been identified, it becomes difficult to live in the illusion. After all, what the truth stands for will surely find its way to our minds and hearts.

Dear readers, please share your opinion about sobriety in the comments, about how you came to this, what benefits sobriety provides.

How to achieve a sober lifestyle? At the second stage of alcoholism, it is almost impossible to remove alcohol from life. At an early stage, this can be done. It is important that the person himself admit that he is addicted and sick. And not everyone can do it.

Even with a small opportunity, close people of an addicted person should return him to a sober lifestyle. This is not done with reproaches, shouts, threats. Patience is needed so that the addict himself decides to be treated and never drank again.

It is also necessary to familiarize yourself with the signs of all stages of alcoholism, including the preliminary one. In the early stages of the disease, a person may be aware that he has an addiction and fight it. Gradually the mind and will degrade. If all people knew about the threat, many would decide to stop before the onset of negative consequences.

It is better to fight not with predilection, but with reasons. Many people don't realize that alcohol doesn't help with joy, doesn't get rid of complexes, doesn't solve problems, and doesn't get rid of grief. The effect of alcohol is presented in the form of illusions. A person moves to a primitive level of thinking and does not perceive the real situation of his life.

With the help of alcohol, people want to get away from problems, but why do they flood the joyful events of life? But joyful moments in themselves bring happiness. Because of alcohol traditions, gatherings, drunkenness appears.

Motivation

Motivation for a sober lifestyle is essential. The public opinion that a person is guided by is considered important. Coding remains in demand. This is extrinsic motivation. The patient agrees to the use of this method of treatment, as he does not want to lose his family, lose his earnings, be left without friends.

But before long-term protection from many patients go through all previous levels of treatment. Usually help begins with withdrawal from hard drinking. Relatives want to see a doctor, since the person himself cannot make such a decision.

Treatment

Best performed in a hospital. Narcological centers offer optimal conditions for treatment. There people are under round-the-clock supervision of doctors. In this case, the risks of complications are minimal. And the consequences can be in the form of an exacerbation of an ulcer, a hypertensive crisis, a disruption of the heart and blood vessels. Sometimes alcoholism leads to a heart attack, stroke, psychosis.

During the period of sobering up, neuroleptic drugs are prescribed that stop the craving for alcohol. When severe withdrawal symptoms are eliminated, maintenance therapy is performed. Preparations are selected individually, as it depends on the characteristics of each person. But almost always prescribe sedatives and tranquilizers. They normalize sleep, eliminate anxiety and anxiety.

And only with complete sobering up long-term protection from use is required. During treatment, alcohol should not be consumed. All responsibility for violation of the rules lies with the patient.

Propaganda

It is important to promote a sober lifestyle. There are 3 main resources for this:

1. Youth organizations.
2. Volunteer temperance movements.

Many print publications and on television highlight the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. But this propaganda is becoming less and less, various alcoholic beverages are being advertised more. That is why there is such a problem.

It is important to promote sobriety among children. If parents at home and teachers at school talk about this, as well as organize interesting events, this will have a positive effect on the upbringing of the younger generation.

Propaganda can be carried out in special organizations that everyone can visit. Various events, trainings and consultations are held there. All this helps to understand the alcohol problem, to appreciate the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.
