Obscene problems: how to stop your husband from swearing. Advice from a psychologist. How to wean your husband off computer games

If you believe the statistics, each person drinks about 21 liters of pure ethyl alcohol every year.

The consequences of this addiction include diseases, accidents, and poisoning with alcohol substitutes, which cause death in 7.6% of men, which is twice as high as in women.

Children of alcoholic parents suffer and entire families break up. But, unfortunately, legislation cannot force a person to be encoded without his voluntary and informed consent.

In this case, it is necessary to look for other methods on how to wean your husband off drinking alcohol forever.


In general, it is males who are more likely to be addicted. Failure in life, lack of career growth, an unsuccessful marriage, or a repetition of a scenario seen in childhood are the main reasons that prompt a person to start drinking alcohol.

To wean your man off alcohol, first of all, you should know how to behave correctly with your alcoholic husband and help him stop drinking.

At an appointment with a psychologist, many women complain: “I encourage friends who drink and don’t give money, but he still comes drunk.” And this is the first mistake. Only self-awareness of your powerlessness over addiction will help you overcome drunkenness. Your screams and scandals will not work.

The second mistake that almost all wives make is buying alcohol for their husband when he is hungover. A selfless woman is ready to do anything so that her loved one does not feel suffering during the period of acute withdrawal syndrome. But we need to do the opposite. The worse the condition after drinking alcohol, the faster an aversion to it will appear.

Overprotectiveness or a psychological problem known as this is the third mistake of the wife of an alcoholic.

A feeling of weakness and unhealthy devotion to the drinker, a feeling of guilt. Constant moralizing and advice are also useless here. Take care of yourself and be at home less often. This behavior can be a great incentive for a husband to start worrying about his marriage and stop drinking.

And the real critical situation comes when a representative of the fairer sex is not able to cope with the problem, and both the husband and the wife are already drinking. As a result, the family receives the status of “dysfunctional”, is deprived of the right to raise children, and loses its moral image for society.

My husband drinks beer every day: what to do?


You should not take the daily intake of an intoxicating drink, which is the end product of alcoholic fermentation, lightly.

It occurs much more often than addiction to vodka. And, if you notice that your husband constantly brings home or has already drunk a can of foamy drink, you immediately need to wean him off drinking beer.

If your spouse drinks strong alcohol, you can first reduce the degree. Next, you should switch to non-alcoholic beer. And then how to discourage your husband from drinking alcohol will not be difficult: offer kvass instead of beer or select carbonated drinks with a similar taste.

You should always prepare a fairly filling meal, after which there is simply no room left for a high-calorie beer drink. And after a fatty meal, alcohol absorption will be worse, which will discourage you from drinking alcohol.

Don't keep him company. To prevent your husband from drinking, create a pleasant, calm atmosphere that could only be experienced at home.

It’s easy to sit in front of the TV in the evening after a hard day without beer. To relieve fatigue and get a good night's sleep, prepare a soothing tea with chamomile or linden, ginger and honey.

The problem of drunkenness is relevant in our time. Before you start treating your husband for alcohol, you need to understand the reasons. If a husband drinks for no reason, this is an addiction that needs to be treated.

Why does my husband drink?

The causes of male alcoholism are divided into the following categories:

  • Genetic. Ideally, before the wedding, you need to find out about the presence of alcoholics in the chosen one’s family. But this fact is often hidden with the best intentions.
  • Psychological. Troubles at work, in relationships, the bad influence of the company, war make you want to get drunk and forget yourself.
  • Lack of self-realization. It is important for a man to succeed. But wives don’t understand that they have to work hard for this. Reproaches, insults, demands to find another job can awaken a husband’s interest in drinking.
  • Dissatisfaction with social status. Lack of money, poor living conditions. Instead of support and faith in a man, there are constant reproaches from his wife. The phrase “loser” can be a trigger. And as a result, the husband consoles himself with a bottle of vodka, and you read on the Internet how you can stop your husband from drinking.
  • Overprotective wife. It would seem that you care about him so much, but he does not appreciate it. You don’t care about his opinion, because you know in advance that he won’t come up with anything good. As a result, the husband’s pride is hurt.

There are also three stages of manifestation of alcoholism.

At the first stage, there is an attraction to alcohol and a loss of sense of proportion. At the second stage, a “hangover syndrome” is formed. At the third stage, alcohol tolerance decreases and personality degradation occurs.

How to stop your husband from drinking?

On many women's forums, a common topic is what to do if your husband drinks. As a rule, opinions are divided into the following categories:

1. Supporters of divorce. Many women believe that it is impossible to rehabilitate alcoholics, so there is no point in wasting youth, time, energy, health on him, and also that an alcoholic father is a trauma for the child’s psyche. These arguments are clear and convincing. Such women should not be condemned.

Divorce is a fairly radical way. It is suitable for those who have tried all the ways to save their husband and it did not help. Women who do not want to make efforts to save their husbands for personal reasons also get divorced.

The threat of divorce is a fairly effective technique. If you threaten your spouse and go to your parents for a while, you can understand whether he wants to fight for his family or whether drinking has already become more expensive for him. If not, it’s not worth keeping and it’s better to get a divorce.

2. Women who are ready to tolerate any drunken behavior of their husband. Unfortunately, there are downtrodden women with a victim complex. They hurt themselves and their children. Typical arguments are the phrases “where should he go” and “how is he without me.” This position leads to tragedy, or the woman still decides to leave, but is crippled physically and mentally.

3. Women who are ready to fight for their loved one. Such women are trying to find an answer to the question: how to wean your husband from drinking alcohol.

It should be remembered that if your husband does not want to heal himself, no one will force him and no method will help.

There are a number of methods that can help with your problem. These include:

  • Coding or hypnosis. It is very important to find a professional. This method is quite effective. But there is a risk that after a certain time the husband will start drinking again.
  • Psychological. It depends on the cunning and wisdom of the woman and the character traits of the man.

It all starts innocently at first. I drank beer with a friend at work, then another, because he is so tired, and then you notice that you already have beer at home and on the weekends. And the phrase that “everything is under control” is a sign of incipient alcoholism.

Beer alcoholism is much worse because it is not so noticeable. At this stage, argue with him that he can go without drinking for two weeks. And the prize is any of his desires or the embodiment of his erotic fantasies. And let him win. In this way you can check whether there is a dependency or not. And then argue again, involve him in the game.

If within two weeks your husband becomes irritable and angry, there is an addiction. And here you need a frank conversation, showing a video about the dangers of alcohol, printed information about alcoholism and consultation with a narcologist or psychotherapist.

It is also possible to take a video on your phone that records your spouse’s behavior while drunk, and show it in the morning so that he can see himself from the outside. Ideally, you should be ashamed.

Sometimes sharing an extreme hobby or doing renovations together helps. A man must be busy. If your husband finds himself in bad company, you need to find him an alternative one with other interests.

If you are into beer, you should hint about your beer belly and suggest going to the gym together. However, you should not shout, reproach, or shame your drunk husband; wait until the morning and express everything.

  • Folk. The main goal of such methods is to induce vomiting and aversion to alcohol. It is very important not to overdo it and ruin your spouse’s digestive system.

There are many folk recipes for curing alcoholism. Here are some of them:

  1. In a glass, mix 1 raw egg, 1 tbsp. drinking water, 1 tbsp. shag and pour vodka over it all. Mix thoroughly, then give to your spouse on an empty stomach. Such a drink will not harm the body, but will only cause vomiting and aversion to alcoholic beverages.
  2. Take 50 gr. dill seeds, boil in 0.5 liters of port wine. Cook over low heat. Give 50 ml of this decoction to your husband.
  3. Give a cup of strong coffee with salt instead of sugar. This drink will cause vomiting.
  4. Prepare a decoction of wormwood and centaury in equal proportions. Give the decoction until there is no aversion to alcohol.
  5. Give 6 tsp. honey, after 20 minutes give another 6 tsp, then after a similar period of time repeat the dosage. After 2 hours, repeat the procedure and let your husband sleep. In the morning the husband will want to get over his hangover. After this, give a standard dose of 6 tsp. every 20 minutes. Then feed them breakfast. For dessert, give 4 tsp. honey Fully following the recipe will wean your spouse off drinking. This technique is useful and effective for husbands in the stage of deep intoxication.
  6. Drink a mixture consisting of 50 g. lemon juice, 50 gr. boiled water and 1-2 tbsp. honey Drink 2-3 times a day for 3-4 weeks.
  7. Cook a decoction of thyme and wormwood: 1 tbsp. Add a glass of boiling water, cook for 3-5 minutes over low heat. Drink 1 tbsp. 3 times a day for 2-3 months. After 3 weeks, an aversion to alcohol should appear.

Thus, we have examined all the available ways to cure a husband from drunkenness. But remember, the decision is yours, because family relationships are individual for everyone. And whatever path you choose, it is your choice and should be respected.

Relationships between representatives of opposite sexes, if they are serious relationships aimed at long-term contact, should be built on mutual respect and trust.
Without these two components, no marital union will stand the test of time. And, of course, each participant in such a relationship is ideally obliged to accept his other half with all its advantages and disadvantages. What if a partner suddenly develops a tendency to deceive? In this case, you need to find out the reasons for the phenomenon and try to eradicate the negative quality.
Why is he lying?
When faced with the problem of your spouse lying, ask yourself this question. Analyze situations in which your husband lies to you and draw certain conclusions. And the options for reasons for marital lies given below will help you with this.
A woman’s inadequate reaction to the truth voiced by her beloved man.


For example, a man tells his wife that he intends to stay late today after work because he plans to go to a sports bar with friends. In response, the wife throws a tantrum, uttering phrases like “you’re almost never with your family, but you find time for friends!” It’s clear that the next time the man goes to a meeting, he won’t warn his wife about it, but will say that there was a rush at work, etc.
Fear of hurting the woman you love.
This type of lie takes place if, for example, the spouse has become unattractive (has gained weight, say), or the husband does not want to worry his pregnant wife with unpleasant news.
Reluctance to take responsibility and solve a long-standing problem.
A striking example is that a husband does not want to have children, but does not directly tell his wife about this, but avoids frank confession in another way: with the help of stupid excuses.
Excessive control of a spouse by a woman.
Perhaps a person feels like a dog on a short leash, which is why he feels an urgent need for personal space. Thus, deception here plays the role of a defense mechanism against the wife’s importunity in realizing her own desire to completely dominate her husband.
Distrust experienced in a woman with whom a man lives under the same roof.


The influence of childhood, namely the age period of 7-9 years, when most children lie for no reason.
According to psychologists, a man can subconsciously and without realizing it mentally return to the voiced segment of life, because something in it remains unfinished by him. It turns out that deception in the present is a person’s attempt to fill in the gaps in his past.
Fear of the consequences of telling the truth.
Usually this reason is relevant if the spouse answers the wife’s leading questions with the banal “we’ll talk about it tomorrow.” In fact, he simply avoids the conversation to be honest.
How to “resolve” the situation?
Knowing the reason for your spouse’s repeated attacks of lying, putting an end to such impartial behavior of your loved one is not so difficult. But even the lack of an accurate idea of ​​why your man deceives you every now and then is not a reason to conclude that it is impossible to find a solution to the pressing problem.
So, if lying is a consequence of your behavior that is unpleasant to your spouse in response to his desire to relax, as an option - to spend at least one evening a week after work in a close company of friends, you need to look at yourself from the outside. Don't you think that you are acting somewhat selfishly towards your loved one, demanding from him only complete dedication for others and nothing for himself? What if you want to sit with your friends in a cafe or go to the cinema all alone, and your husband makes a scene for you?


You are unlikely to like this arrangement. So in this case, it would be wiser to try to understand your spouse, compromise and find a solution to the problem that suits both of you.
The same, in principle, applies to excessive control over the man you love. Every person, including married people, has the full right to personal time and personal space. No one should be deprived of this, otherwise the person will turn into a weak-willed henpecked man. As mentioned above, by deceiving the wife in this case, the husband defends himself. But it should be added: this is also an attempt to resist the lady’s onslaught.
The fear of unpleasant consequences and causing suffering to the other half by the truth can be dispelled in only one way: to call the person for a frank heart-to-heart conversation, acting extremely carefully, without reproaches and rudeness. If you're lucky, the husband will succumb to persuasion and reveal the truth that has been so carefully hidden.


Is your spouse lying because you don’t want to bear the burden of responsibility? Here we should appeal to the voice of his reason, to common sense, and remind him, as if in passing, that he is a man, strong and brave, and childhood is long behind him.
By the way, about childhood. If this is the reason for lying, it is worth talking with your husband about the period from 7 to 9 years - the period of chronic lying in many children. It is important to show sincere interest, because the spouse will certainly feel the falseness, and this will ruin everything.
You can get rid of your husband’s pathological lies by trying to restore lost or damaged trust in yourself, if it was this that was the cause of the problem. Think about it: what are you doing wrong if the man you love is forced to hide the truth from you?
And only with this type of deception, such as exaggeration: from the size of the fish catch to the events observed by the spouse on the street - you just need to come to terms with it. Your loved one has a rich imagination, that's all. And this should not be eradicated, but encouraged!

Alcohol is rightfully considered the most dangerous means of destroying families. After all, drinking husbands bring a large number of quarrels and scandals into the house, which ultimately leads to their breakups. Statistics show that husbands are more at risk of developing alcoholism, since the difficulties of family life, communication with friends and problems with earnings can “unsettle” any person.

As a result, husbands begin to drink alcohol constantly and uncontrollably, which negatively affects not only human health, but also the quality of family life.

Therefore, the question of how to wean a husband from drinking alcohol is currently known to many women, because life with an alcoholic is difficult and often unbearable.

Since these days no one is immune from the fact that their husband, dad, boyfriend or father starts drinking too much, any woman should know how to deal with drunkenness, how to help a loved one stop drinking? After all, alcohol is considered a poison for the body, which quickly destroys it. According to narcologists, first of all, a wife needs to understand a man’s psychology, because without this it will be quite difficult to overcome problems (this can only be done secretly from the alcoholic himself, in other words, without his knowledge).

First of all, you need to remember that a person who drinks vodka or any other alcoholic drink every day will not be able to one day get up and say that he has said goodbye to his addiction once and for all. In any case, the drunkard will need the help of a loved one, so it needs to start at an early stage in the development of the disease, since it will be quite difficult to overcome alcoholism later.

Why do men start drinking alcohol?

Before you understand how to cure your husband of alcoholism, you need to find out the reasons for your spouse or boyfriend why he started drinking alcohol.

Once married, people should be happy living in marriage, but at this time it becomes more difficult for many male representatives. This is especially true when a child is born, when each day becomes similar to the previous one.

This constancy can “unsettle” anyone, which is why men begin to drink alcohol (at first, this is done at home) in order to be mentally nourished and take a break from the everyday hustle and bustle.

At first, a man or father begins to gradually feel drawn to drinking alcohol, but over time this happens more and more often. At first, husbands start drinking 1-2 glasses, and after that they increase the dose daily. As a result, this leads to the emergence of a psychological habit, which is quite difficult to get rid of.

Other reasons for the development of alcoholism include:

  • family problems - constant scandals and quarrels;
  • worsening sex life;
  • problems at work;
  • difficult relationships with relatives and friends.

Wives notice that their husbands become like this due to constant monotony, since in many families life, habits and behavior do not change for years.

How to stop a person from drinking, especially if he doesn’t want to?

To do this, the woman will have to use folk remedies without the knowledge of the patient in order to alleviate the condition of the alcoholic.

In this way, it will be possible to save your son and wean him off alcohol, as well as discourage your husband from drinking alcohol. After all, almost everyone should not force a person to take strong drinks, which means that men do this of their own free will.

How to overcome alcoholism in your husband

How to cure your husband from drunkenness? Many women do not want to interfere in the affairs of their spouse and try to put him on the right path. Especially if the man behaves aggressively. However, according to doctors, there is also a woman’s fault in male alcoholism: she either indulges her husband, or, on the contrary, blames her for her own negative habits. But still, most women try to help a loved one overcome alcohol addiction, even if it is quite difficult.

So, how to wean your husband from drinking and fight alcoholism, and also how to save a father or son from this addiction? First, you need to explain to the alcoholic that the development of addiction and constant drinking of alcohol is not a hobby and a beneficial way to spend time. Alcoholism is a disease that can be cured with the help of special methods and methods of treatment. How to rid your husband of alcohol addiction using traditional therapy? To do this, you need to convince your husband to visit a doctor and undergo a course of treatment using modern medications.

Also, sons or husbands can use other treatment methods, namely:

  • folk remedies that will help cure a person from alcoholism without his knowledge;
  • taking medications that actively fight alcoholism;
  • conspiracies to help stop your son from drinking alcohol.

If treatment follows strict rules, addiction will be overcome fairly quickly. It is important to note that without the knowledge of the drinker, he can be cured only with the help of conspiracies, since in other cases the person himself must want to overcome his addiction - without such a desire, the fight against addiction will be in vain.

Drugs for addiction treatment

Medicines are a quick and reliable way to combat alcoholism, so when thinking about how to stop your husband from drinking, you can use this method. In addition, it is much easier and simpler for a man to be treated with drugs, so you can tell your husband in advance about your decision to give him pills or other medications.

You can cure your husband and son from alcoholism with the help of medications, which doctors divide into 3 groups:

  • Medicines to get rid of hangovers and quickly recover from binge drinking. If you are weaning your husband, who drinks alcohol, from drinking beer and other strong drinks, it is recommended to choose medicinal compounds that can eliminate pain, discomfort, and also relax the person. Once you take them, you won’t feel like drinking anymore – you can buy anti-alcoholism drugs in the online store.
  • Drugs that reduce cravings for drinking alcohol. How to deal with your husband's drunkenness with the help of such medications? It’s very simple – you just need to give the man one of the representatives of this group for several weeks. If a person drinks alcohol while being treated with such medications, it will be difficult for him to deal with the symptoms of a hangover, which will occur in an intensified form.
  • Compositions that lead to a lack of alcohol tolerance. If a man takes a large amount of alcohol, he will develop severe intoxication, which can only be overcome in a medical facility. This is due to the fact that the drugs contain a unique composition, which, when interacting with alcohol, causes a lot of unpleasant symptoms for the body.

It will be possible to save a husband and son from drunkenness, who often drink, only with comprehensive treatment and the correct selection of medications. Otherwise, the man will continue to drink as he drank, since medications will not be able to overcome alcohol addiction.

Treatment of alcoholism using traditional methods

How to stop your husband from drinking? Folk remedies can help with this. If a man drinks constantly, he will never give up his addiction. Traditional methods can help him with this:

  • Green bugs. You need to take 20-30 green bugs, then fill them with 0.5 liters of vodka. This mixture is infused for 3 days, after which it is filtered and given to the alcoholic 1 glass daily. At the same time, a woman struggling with her husband’s alcoholism should remember that this method is effective - it will cause an aversion to alcohol, so taking even a small dose of strong drinks will lead a person to severe hangover symptoms.
  • Red pepper. How to stop your husband from drinking alcohol? To do this, you can use a pepper-based tincture. Take 20 grams of ground pepper, fill the floor with liters of alcohol and leave for 2 weeks. Sometimes the liquid needs to be shaken. You need to use the composition as follows: add a few drops of tincture to alcohol and wait for the effect. As a result, the person will begin to feel sick and vomit - this will cause a lack of desire to drink strong drinks.
  • Lemon and honey. Addiction treatment can be carried out using a mixture of water, honey and lemon - this remedy was used to cure alcoholism several decades ago. Take 50 grams of water and lemon juice, mix with 2 tablespoons of honey. Mix the mixture and take before meals. Guys believe that this method is the most effective and inexpensive.

Also thinking about how to stop your husband from drinking, you can use other folk methods, namely:

  • a tincture based on St. John's wort, which can suppress the craving for alcohol (in the old days, almost every woman struggled with male alcoholism);
  • bitter almonds, which cause vomiting when drinking alcohol;
  • A decoction based on lovage that can suppress the desire to drink alcohol.

Women also need to remember that during treatment for addiction in front of their husbands, they do not need to drink alcohol themselves, since then the treatment will go down the drain.

Treatment with spells

Since alcohol addiction must be fought by any means, you can try to carry out treatment using magical rituals - for example, it could be a conspiracy. This method is used as an active effect on a person's subconscious - in other words, it convinces the alcoholic that if he does not stop drinking soon, his future will hang in the balance.

This anti-alcohol spell can be obtained from any healer, who will also explain how to read it correctly.

The problem of alcoholism in our country is still relevant. Statistics inform about an increasing number of people suffering from alcohol addiction. The real number is even greater, since not every drinker admits his illness not only to others, but also to himself. Among people who drink, about 90% do not consider themselves to be such drinkers and believe that they can quit at any time. But the boundaries of this problem are much wider. It affects not only the drinker, but also his loved ones who are codependent. These are all family members. But this connection is strongest between spouses. There is even such a concept as “the wife of an alcoholic.” This is not just a term in psychology. This is the status of a woman who, feeling responsible for her loved one, is tormented by the question of how to force her husband to stop drinking.

Signs of incipient alcoholism

Alcohol is a frequent companion in human life. Holidays, significant events, family and friendly gatherings are rarely complete without it. But for some it occupies such an important place that it displaces other interests. Alcohol has particularly severe consequences on family relationships. From the outside, it is much easier for a spouse to notice signs of an impending threat. And, as a rule, they are similar for most people who abuse alcohol:

  • a person constantly finds a reason to drink;
  • friends appear with pleasure and are ready to keep company;
  • drinking alcohol every night to relax after a working day;
  • frequent conversations about drinking;
  • resentment if a person is hinted or openly told that he drinks;
  • I'm not in the mood if I haven't had a drink.

Seeing these signs in her husband, the wife, of course, wonders how to wean her husband off alcohol. And she is ready to go to great lengths to do this.

How to stop your husband from drinking alcohol using folk remedies

It’s one thing when a spouse meets halfway and agrees to undergo treatment with a narcologist, take medications, or make a radical change in lifestyle. But most often this does not happen, since the husband does not want to classify himself as an alcoholic and addicted person. And in this regard, very close people resort to traditional medicine. You can find many recipes that work on the principle of incompatibility. This principle is based on the fact that a dependent person secretly adds infusions and herbal decoctions to alcohol, which cause severe nausea and vomiting. Every time he drinks, he starts showing these symptoms. A person forms information in his subconscious that alcohol makes him feel bad. Such tinctures are made based on the following herbs:

  • European hoof;
  • club moss;
  • lovage;
  • hellebore (puppeteer).

The only thing you should remember is that these herbs are very strong and taking them can be harmful to health. The principle of action of herbal preparations is based on the fact that they inhibit the processing of alcohol and the removal of toxins. The latter are the cause of severe nausea. And the herbs themselves are very toxic, so it is extremely important to maintain the dosage to avoid poisoning. You should approach this “treatment” with caution if the addicted person has any chronic diseases, so as not to cause their aggravation.

Treatment with such means is only one of the paths that a woman takes to wean her husband from an addiction.

Changing our attitude towards the problem

Often in a relationship between two people, it is to one's benefit to pretend that he will quit, and to the other's benefit to pretend that she has made every effort she can to get him to quit. And in fact, the woman bears the entire burden of this burden. She swears, persuades, asks, threatens, leaves, divorces, forces her to code. But nothing works. Psychotherapists and narcologists themselves note that drug treatment is ineffective and 70% of those who have undergone treatment begin to drink again after some time.

But what to do in this case? How can I get my husband to stop drinking forever? Why doesn't anything work? The whole point is that the drinking husband doesn’t even think about quitting, he doesn’t want to. He understands that without alcohol he will not be able to solve his internal problems; he simply does not need this reality. And this is the mistake the wife makes - she tries to solve her husband’s problem herself. The only indisputable fact that doctors talk about is that if a person himself does not want to quit, it is impossible to cure him, much less force him to stop drinking. He must recognize the problem himself and solve it. The person must be included in the healing process. The wife's role is to help him think, admit that he is sick. And there is no point in shouting, swearing and saying that he is bad to a sick person. A reaction may follow that the husband will start drinking even more and become aggressive. This does not mean that you need to praise. But it is better to express dissatisfaction with your behavior.

To achieve a positive result in solving a problem, it is very important to develop the right attitude towards it.

  • You should stop your husband's conversations about alcoholic beverages, transferring them to other topics.
  • Never support his idea of ​​drinking together.
  • When he drinks, don't support him financially.
  • Don’t pay off debts for him, don’t look for him when he doesn’t come home.
  • Don't welcome his drinking buddies home.
  • Cancel holidays.
  • Don't run to get mineral water in the morning when he feels bad.
  • And never talk to a drunk husband about his addiction. This is wasted time and nerves.

However, alcoholism is a family problem and must be solved together. Moreover, the woman in this situation is in no better condition than her drinking husband. She herself needs help, since she lives in constant stress from the realization of the impossibility of finding a way out.

Psychologists' view of the problem

It is customary to imagine the wife of an alcoholic as a victim, doomed to suffer from her drinking husband. But psychologists dealing with the problem of alcoholism in the family identify three roles that husband and wife alternately occupy: victim, persecutor, savior. When a husband comes home drunk and starts a scandal, he acts as the persecutor, and the wife as the victim. The next morning the situation changes. The wife expresses dissatisfaction and swears, so they change places. Caring for her husband to feel better, she can give him a hangover, or, covering for him, call him at work and say that he is sick and call a doctor. Thus, the wife acts as a savior. The husband can also act as a savior, for example, at a time when he does not drink. After all, when my husband doesn’t drink, he’s a wonderful person, like no other. Husband and wife change these roles constantly. Their life is a movement along this triangle. And this can be done indefinitely. This movement maintains the addiction. To force the husband to change and break the closed chain, the wife needs to change herself and look at the problem from the other side. Experts recommend, first of all, to abandon the role of the victim and not blame your husband for all your problems. A woman should not shoulder everything. You need to give your husband the opportunity to deal with his problems himself.

Alcohol addiction can be treated – this is an indisputable fact. But how can you stop your husband from drinking if he doesn’t want to? Psychologists unanimously declare that this is impossible without his desire and awareness of the presence of the disease.
