there is possibility that alcoholic person will be cure??

Question

coz i found out that my husband is alcoholic person and i wanted to him to be changed for that bad habit. what should i do to stop him drinking alcohol?

Answer 1

Only he can stop,but he needs to want to for himself. Sometimes they need to hit their own bottom. Don't assist his decline, and always protect yourself from being pulled down with him. It is not your fault, and nothing you can do will stop him. He HAS to decide it for himself. Remember, he might not make it, failure is more prevalent then success, protect what is around you and never allow his drinking to get inside you head. I know it's hard, but you can only help him once he permanently puts the bottle down. I was once an awful drunk, but I have not had a drink in over 20 years.
As my feet slap down against the cold wet pavement, and my face drips rain from the storm, an unrelenting need to drink pushes me further. Exact final destination appears unknown , but it's inevitable that the evil inside will again return me to the source of my nightmare. No control, no will of my own, no power had I found that might evict this hell that had infected my body and mind. Self-identity, and all that was once me, had been buried under countless layers of drunkenness, so deep, that any calls for help were merely an echo inside my head.
This living liquid curse, cunning and without conscience, had been absorbed into a body which at one time eagerly welcomed it's unyielding influence. But now, as the onslaught of alcohol turned viciously against the world around me, it was only I being held responsible for it's drunken destruction carried out during my imprisonment.
Those intense fear ridden mornings, when I awoke to find yet another nightmare of alcohol's creation, devilishly constructed from it's own personality the night before. Whether it was the sight of dried blood crusted over both hands, or the unfamiliar surroundings of a place where I shouldn't have been, alcohol knew how to render me frozen with crippling insecurity. Too frightened to reason out a healthy answer as to what was happening to me, a deliberate terror of conscience always reached out and tightly gripped my soul. This devil, disguised and hidden behind my own recently drunken face, knew exactly where I'd run to for help. This was much more then an accident through drink. Alcohol's intent was to survive at all costs, to live and breath it's own existence using me as it's host of choice.
But, now, unaware of this developing transformation, all I wanted to do was calm the terror inside my head. There would be only one place, one exit, one chance to escape into a feeling of normality. Alcohol left nothing to chance, and as it waited patiently for me to return a bottle to my lips, I could almost hear a deep sullen laughter quicken my mobility. I desperately needed to lock myself away into the only security I knew, and to experience that precious freedom, I once again had to ingest my enslaver.

First of all, HE has to want to change. That is the first step. My Fiancee is an Alcoholic also. He has not touched a drop now in over 20 years. He is still faithfull at his AA meetings, and lives by the 12 step rules. Alot of people do not even realise they are an Alcoholic, they call it Social drinking. But if a person has to have a drink Everyday after work , one leads to two and so on, they ARE an Alcoholic. He can "manage" the problem if he really wants to, and he will need your support. But you cannot make him change. If he continues to drink daily, you will have a Roller Coaster of a Life.. Be Strong

Answer 3

An alcoholic will only stop drinking when they are able to admit to themselves that they have a problem with alcohol. There is no 'cure', just the persons desire to not want to drink alcohol anymore. When alcohol interferes with your ability to perform at work/school and has an adverse affect on your personal relationships, that should be a huge clue to get help. Sadly, some do not. My advise to you would be to join a support group for persons that are dealing with alcoholic (Al-non for example). These groups will help you be able to deal with you husband's alcoholism in a positive and productive way.

Answer 4

Talk to your husband, pick a time with no distractions. Brief interventions are the best way to get someone to quit:

At least 60% of people who quit do so on their own. Only 10% of those who decide they have a problem end up in AA, and AA only works for 5% of those who attend:

A study at Harvard showed that having a supportive spouse may be the most important tool in recovery. I wish you and your husband all the best.

Answer 5

It is not a cure as such, as it is not a sickness.
It is a mental state, and addiction.

First - he is required to WANT to stop.
No matter what anyone tries - if an addict does not wish to stop - the only way to do that is to shoot the addict. ( it does end the addiction, but a bit drastic).

The addict needs to:
1) Realize he/she has a problem (or addiction)
2) Want to stop
3) Cooperate and be totally (even brutally) honest with him/herself.

Then - find a doctor or similar that specializes in helping addicts recover. In this case the AA would be a good place to start for more advice.

Good luck.
