Problem analysis
You really should want to go back to a healthy, sober life. Only then will the results that have appeared become a new incentive and create a powerful reason to be proud of yourself and your achievements. Another truth should be remembered: a sober life is based on the full responsibility of the person himself for all events that take place there.
To first understand yourself and find out the origins of the problem, it is worth visiting a psychologist. A specialist will help raise the level of time and understand the origins that led a woman to seriously start abusing alcohol. According to studies, the reasons that most often force a woman to drink regularly include the following situations:
- prolonged depression;
- difficult stressful situations;
- hereditary predisposition;
- disorder and problems of personal life;
- constant conflicts, hostility in service, in the family;
- environment (the husband drinks, friends, co-workers constantly organize meetings).
