Try not to starve yourself - the urge to drink is even stronger when you are hungry. Eating sweets, snacks, and nutritious foods at this time seems to reduce our desire for alcohol. Because sweetness can suppress the urge to drink, the eating process itself will also bring about a series of new body movements: chewing, swallowing, etc. when drinking drinks, milk, eating cookies, fruits, etc., which is also very helpful in changing the old drinking habits in the past. Helpful.
When some alcoholics are advised to eat more instead of drinking, they may worry about whether they will gain weight as they eat. In fact, after replacing the caloric supply of ethanol in alcohol with a healthy and balanced diet, some overweight people actually lost excess fat and lost weight. Of course some people may gain weight, but this is manageable - after all, losing weight is much easier than quitting drinking.
According to the conclusions of current medical research, eating more foods rich in vitamin B can not only make up for the vitamin deficiency caused by our long-term alcohol addiction, but also help reduce alcohol addiction. Therefore, daily supplementation of multivitamins is particularly important. It's the B vitamins that make sense.
So next time we face the urge to drink, try having something sweet or something to drink. At least you can put off the thought of drinking for an hour or two.
Remember the last time you were drunk
As the name suggests, we mean "drunk" rather than "drunk".
For most people, "drinking a glass of wine" has long meant a happy time with friends talking and laughing. Depending on our age, and on the circumstances which surrounded our first experiences with alcohol, we all have various memories and hopes (sometimes, anxieties) aroused by the thought of a cool beer, a martini, a gin and Quartz. Ninja water, whiskey and beer, a sip of wine or something like that and so on.
Time and again, in the early stages of most people’s drinking experience, their expectations for alcohol always meet the actual amount of alcohol they need to drink.
If it happens to be just right every time, we naturally think of "having a glass of wine" as a pleasant experience that not only meets our own needs, but also does not go beyond the norms of religious customs. At the same time, it satisfies desires, caters to the etiquette of social occasions, and helps us relax, cheer up, and achieve our various pursuits. For example, it is a 55-year-old Finn, when someone offers him a drink, it will immediately remind him of the negative emotions that experienced when he drank a glass or two of brandy or vodka on a cold day in his youth. Waves of warmth.
If she is a young woman, she may immediately think of a gorgeous crystal glass filled with champagne, fragrant clothes, a romantic atmosphere of rubbing ears and temples together, or a beard and long hair in a rock concert. A young man wearing a denim outfit took out a bottle of booze from a bag full of bottles. Flashing lights kept flashing, smoke was everywhere, and everyone screamed. It was an exciting sight. One AA member said: "Have a drink" is almost synonymous with eating pizza and drinking beer.
There is also a 78-year-old widow who said that she often couldn't help but think of her habit of having a glass of sherry at bedtime when she was in a nursing home. Although this image of drinking in our minds is extremely natural, in our current situation, it is misleading, and it is how some of us start drinking.
If this is all we do with drinking, we are less likely to develop an alcohol problem later on. Yet a fearless look at our complete drinking record, however, shows that in the last years and months our drinking never created those perfect, magic moments again, no matter how hard we tried.
Instead, over and over, we wound up drinking far more than that, eventually landing in some kind of trouble as a result. Maybe we're simply guilty, secretly, of drinking too much.
But sometimes it can turn into violent quarrels, affecting one's own work, or even leading to serious illness, accidents, or legal and financial problems. So when the suggestion of "a drink" comes to us, we now try to remember the whole train of consequences of starting with just "a drink" and ending with our last miserable drunk and hangover.
Generally speaking, when a friend invites us to drink a glass of wine, it simply refers to a way of socializing and just tasting one or two glasses.
But if we are careful to recall the full suffering of our last drinking episode, we will be free from our long- ago notion of "a drink." deceived.
Now we can honestly admit that, in terms of our physiological reality, we are pretty sure that drinking a glass of soup means that sooner or later we will be drunk again, which will bring a series of troubles.
Drinking no longer means music and joy to us, but the memory of illness and regret. An AA member once said: "I know that if I go to a bar to drink a glass of wine now, it will never be the same as before. It just takes a little time and spends some money.
This glass of wine will It was too costly and too high a risk to drain my bank account, my family, my house, my car, my job, my sanity, and my life.”
He. Remembering the last time he got drunk, not the first time he drank.
