Treatment for a “dose” – to restore the ability to drink a little and control the amount of alcohol consumed.
“That’s it! I’ll start drinking a little and not often, like everyone else… Before, I could drink without getting drunk. That’s it!”
“I’ll pull myself together and start controlling myself so that I can stop and go to work tomorrow without feeling a hangover or remorse for what I did while intoxicated…”
This is what drinkers think after alcoholic excesses, when these libations end with various negative consequences. Surprisingly, some actually manage to stop and pull themselves together for a while.
Such people are admired and respected because the restoration of self-government in relation to alcohol consumption is a rare phenomenon in society and requires constant self-control and willpower.
Most people, having encountered alcohol addiction, eventually feel helpless and weak, unable to cope with the provocation or temptation to drink on their own. This leads to new pangs of conscience and promises, and again to breakdowns!
As a result, self-esteem falls, an internal psychological conflict and dissatisfaction with oneself are formed. The personality is deformed, self-doubt, irritability, irascibility, and a desire to find those responsible for one’s problems appear. And this becomes noticeable in all manifestations of the drinking person’s life.
So what to do?
To become a drunkard and gradually lose EVERYTHING in your life, or to consult a psychotherapist, a specialist in addictions? It turns out that modern psychotherapy makes it possible to regain psychological control over the “dose” of alcohol!
Drinking and not “losing your head”, maintaining self-control. Is it really possible?
