(From a conversation with a psychotherapist, narcologist Andrei Yuryevich Chukashin) Alcoholism is a chronic disease, sometimes exceeding the consequences of drug addiction in its scope and consequences. Few people know, but withdrawal from alcoholism is in some cases more fatal than from morphine, heroin, and many times higher in mortality, precisely as a result of “engine” failure... A terrible disease that takes away decades of life and the feeling of it, gives the illusory, pitiful and evil in return for the joyful beating of the heart from the sun and grass. In most cases, the alcoholic himself denies the presence of the disease, which complicates the treatment process and prevents the positive result from consolidating. A separate problem is female alcoholism, in which degradation with severe neurosis occurs in a shorter period of time. Women whose will is weaker, the brain begins to “deceive” faster, causing illusory but pleasant images. A person with a weak nervous system, even with small doses of alcohol, begins to feel like “God”. In families where both spouses drink and alcoholism is a family “tradition,” the illusion arises that “everything is as it should be.” Treatment here needs to begin with the woman, and the woman with herself. Women with alcoholism begin to play a leading role faster. The formation of an alcoholic family of seemingly healthy people often begins latently, when choosing a partner, and the roots are much deeper, including psychological ones. Treatment of a “family problem” requires enormous attention and indirect forces, real means, and patience. Usually, if only one of the spouses is ready for treatment (and not to quit, but to undergo treatment!). In such families, a “dragging effect” is possible on those who have relapsed; drastic measures - divorce, change of housing, etc. - become beyond their capabilities. As an option for possible treatment, for believers there are specialized monasteries and communities, with work and mutual observation, and, of course, prayer and Faith. It happens that a compassionate relative brings him to a specialist and a new attempt to understand the situation begins, etc. The main problem facing a person who has decided to undergo a course of treatment is the choice of method. According to Dr. Chukashin, the method is the DOCTOR. Andrey Yuryevich has been practicing hypnosis treatment for many years, during which the patient’s subconscious is restructured. The treatment itself looks like a friendly conversation without fear or pressure. A feature of the sessions is a positive norm. A prerequisite is the seriousness of the patient, when getting rid of the disease would be “CONCENTRATED WITH ALL THE POWER TO THE RIGIDITY OF THE PATIENT’S ATTENTION towards: the center of life, the purpose of life and more importantly family, work, desires, etc. Because only then with work and family, everything will be fine ...". Strong-willed seriousness aimed at life and rebirth with cleansing and restoration must be extremely strong when choosing any specialist, technique or “church abstinence”. The right choice for you. But remember: all life is a choice. We are the captains of our own brains.
