How to quit alcohol addiction?
Consulting a therapist or psychiatrist in order to learn new skills and strategies to overcome the drinking problem and use it in daily life, such as:
Change the behaviors that make you want to drink, deal with stress and other triggers that push you to drink, and build a strong support system from family and friends. In some cases, others may want to treat addiction through drugs that a psychiatrist can prescribe for you to get rid of the drinking problem, such as the drug Disulfiram, which is a substance It makes you feel sick if you drink and thus reduces your desire to drink. Acamprosate can also help reduce cravings for alcohol and ultimately Naltrexone reduces the happiness you get from drinking.
What are the consequences of alcohol addiction?
Decreased participation in social activities
Loss of interest in work or school.
Depression
Lack of interest in family or friends.
Preoccupation with drinking.
Insomnia.
Inability to control drinking urges.
Strange behavior
Violent behavior.
Liver problems that may reach the point of cirrhosis
High blood sugar
Impaired focus
Hallucinations
cramps
Tremors and numbness in the extremities
What is the advice in your case?
I recommend seeing a psychiatrist to get the necessary checks, assess your condition, and start with a withdrawal schedule
