Hi All, I am new to this forum. It is a very good and useful site for all. Any one of you can suggest me a solution to stop alcohol completely, using any method of treatment. One of my relatives is struggling with the same. If possible, doctors also can respond to this thread which may be useful for many. Or any home remedy for the same without any side effects. Eagerly waiting for any response at the earliest. Thanks
Hello TPriya, Was just browsing and came across this link Alcoholism: Alcoholism treament, symptoms and causes Thought you might find this useful. Moreover, I personally feel that more than anything else, it is the will-power and determination to overcome the habit that helps the most. Maybe your relative can go through a counselling session with a trained counsellor who will be able to convince him about the evil effects of alcohol. Once he is convinced, then the process will be a lot easier. The support of the family members is also a must. Wish you good-luck for this noble cause...
Hi Gurbani thank you so much for your valuable suggestions and the link. I will go through that link.
Dear Priya, There is no treatment for alcoholism. Doctors can only help with counseling & de tox. The alcoholic has to understand that he is helpless over the situation and then decide to quit. Otherwise it is a useless exercise to visit doctors / hospitals and counselors. I might sound very negative, but this is the fact. However hard you try to convince these alcoholics to quit, they always bounce back within a short time, they are out of the hospital. I too have someone close who is/was in the same situation and has ruined his life. But thank god he is now clean for the past one year Regards, Uma

Men have higher average total body water content than women. This means men can dilute alcohol better than women. Enzyme differences also make women more sensitive to alcohol. So women are more at risk than men from same level of drinking. How much is too much of drinking for women?
Alcoholism can be treated with a help of hypnotism. i have heard many thing about that and many example too. it is one of the effective method to avoid alcohol.
This is a best option avaibale for curing, firm determination of the person, good help from the next of kin and the counsellors at the TTK foundation has very good results, I have known people who have responded positively and negatively also, Best of Luck, May Almightly help them too
