Video story about a woman's alcoholism

Posted a video about alcoholism , is one of the editions of the program "Scanner" on ORT, the plot - female alcoholism, for the first nine minutes of time to tell many facts, many of them of course, very controversial, to tell the whole story in his own words did not criticize, and discuss some of the phrases I will like all the comments. Therefore, sat down word for word, video, consists of narration, commentary specialist (doctor, professor, head of clinical research of alcoholism Addiction Research Institute of Medical Sciences in Moscow, Vladimir Altshuler), and the stories of two women who have experienced female alcoholics.

Get the Flash Player to See this Player.

Anna (the heroine of the plot): "The reason it (not the cause but the reason) to drink a good many years ago had a personal relationship with a man. Oh, I threw. Oh, I changed. Oh, I do not like. Oh, I do not need anyone ... stupidity. And alcohol just got on fertile ground, and began. I can certainly say that I lost quite a normal family, a loved one, perhaps even a child. "

Externally absolutely happy people 35-40 years, higher education, income above the average, divorced - a portrait of an average woman who has been diagnosed with alcoholism. Around the issue of female alcoholism are many myths:

1. Myth of the first and most important - Female alcoholism in contrast to the male is incurable. In fact, it is not. Like any chronic illness, alcoholism can be treated ... with one condition - an alcoholic, whether male or female, never should drink even a glass of traditional holidays.

Vladimir Altschuler: "Female alcoholism impression of heavy people, and these conversations that he had a particularly hard, especially incurable they are just based on impressions. In a society simply become customary to prohibit drinking women and encourage men sometimes drink.

Medicines for alcoholism virtually no, there are only medications that cause hypersensitivity to alcohol, mostly patient fed pellets that are used in general psychiatry, they make a person more accessible to psychotherapy.

Maria (the heroine of the plot): "To drink I started to save her first husband from alcoholism, could drink a lot and as often drank, the more I drank, the less he got. Eventually, I divorced him, not noticing itself that became involved in a drink.

Maria, his real name, a successful economist, between bouts she managed to keep the financial affairs of several companies. It is a family.

2. This is a myth that an alcoholic - always fallen on women. The woman alcoholic does not necessarily lie in a ditch, but be sure there comes a moment when the singer can not sing, a journalist - to write, an accountant - to consider ...

Anna (the heroine of the plot): "First, the problem comes from the outside, ie I like alcoholics, violent, some people who drink, go to bed and love the whole world and I'm starting a very active life with the search for justice, adventure, driving at the wheel (one of the worst sins a - riding behind the wheel),. There have been periods in my jobs, when I could for a month to work not to come five times, I was so strong abstinence , which I did not care what is happening, though there gori all in flames, but when you consider that I worked as director of the live ... you know, what to me was his responsibility? I did not care what happens, or to dismiss me, or does not get fired, if only what is happening to me, it's over, and I can not stand. "

3. Myth number three - ruin oneself by drink only when consumed liquor. In fact, it is not so: women tend to start with wine, beer, gin and tonic. There are even varieties: beer drinking, wine drinking, drinking Cognac. Usually victims of beer alcoholism are most often the girls 25-30 years (with beer begin adolescents, alcoholism - a disease not fast, growing just for this age).

Unlike men, a woman drinking alone at the beginning, the reason is simple - very few of the ladies like vodka, it made drink in the company, and the second or third glass of wine is not considered shameful to drink in solitude. Ambient may not immediately notice that a woman has a problem.

Maria (the heroine of the plot): "You know, it was gradual transitions - from the beer, wines to heavier drinks, like vodka ... finished with vodka, of course. I consider myself a patient of 30 years, but some clinical manifestations, when it was the other house, there have been started years at 35 ".

Female alcoholism differs from the male on medical grounds, a woman ruin oneself by drink, or more correctly, falls ill on average for 2-3 years, the men are kept for five years longer. The reason is that women are not physically fit for drinking, they have a vulnerable brain, their bodies less water to dissolve the alcohol, in addition, women have worse working enzymes, which process the alcohol. That is why one and the same dose, male elephant that pellet, and a woman is enough to fall under the table.

Women suffer worse than alcoholism, they have rapidly developed liver cirrhosis, they simply disrupt normal nutrition of tissues and muscles, a typical female trait of alcoholism - a disproportionate thinness of the legs, different runs delirium . In men it is accompanied by video hallucinations, ie catching little green men and devils, women - hearing: they hear voices.

Categories of women suffering from alcoholism:
- People over 40, from her husband left;
- The new Russian wife, she was bored and she feels useless;
- Business woman, when things cease to occupy all his thoughts, she suddenly discovers that the most important thing in life family, and family that she had not.

Vladimir Altschuler: "The men often have such an ideological platform of their drinking, this whole ideological positions, why is drinking, which he drinks and what not to drink can, and do that for a man who does not drink. For women, something of this I can not recall.

At the heart of female alcoholism are emotional issues: betrayal, loneliness, sexual frustration ... If you list them all, get a huge list, but all these troubles occur in the lives of virtually every woman, just someone have the strength to fight it, someone not.

The woman who underwent a course of treatment, difficult to adapt to society. Man-alcoholic will support in every way around, from the woman alcoholic, usually shunned by all. According to the Russian tradition if a man drinks, he pitied, if a woman drinks - condemn.

Vladimir Altschuler: "There were formerly offices for the female and male alcohol abuse alcohol department, and during the visit or on weekends, long lines of the visitors come in men's offices there and his wife, sister, lover, mother ... and the women's section one.

After the hospital, doctors recommend a patient to change all my life, losing an apartment, job, social circle, Anya, former director of the live broadcast, went to television, is now working in the drug treatment clinic, she was lucky, she recovered, lucky few, according to statistics - only one tenth.

    Female alcoholism humiliating. A person will never become old, former alkogolichek seen in the one-two. If you notice that someone from the family every evening consume a bottle of beer - react until it's too late!

  • Andrei (02.02.2009 / 3:59):

    This is a nightmare! I do not know, maybe I just got used to the male alcoholics, but has recently been in hospital, I saw women in delirium tremens. It was no longer a woman! A strange kind of person, matter in all directions and shouting all sorts of abuse. Women, in no case should begin to drink!

    I would say that is not so easy to distinguish alcoholic if she did not have such problems
    and yet I believe that a very serious problem of female alcoholism is probably in Russia because men are just cut down and what did not tell the woman also had to rely on someone that at least sometimes

    Female alcoholism is a very scary .. When a woman gets drunk, and she spit on own children .. When a child asks for chocolate and the mother says that there is no money and at the same time takes a bottle .. A drunk goes to sleep .. goes under him .. waking blames someone something just is not himself .. and the kids see it ...

    Algolizm - it promlema. But it can not ride or take casually. After reviewing a video clip, I realized that I needed to cope with my desire to drink. It will be difficult. I'm not writing for trezvenikov who without us a lot of problems, many of them can not cope and svomi problems. Women who pobyli on this site should think over his future. May God give you patience and happiness.

    Paul Your sister should just pass the path to the bottom obviously, but do not be sad it's her way, and then finally may (or may not be) it will start to sober, knowing that the sick, sly and deceitful, umeyushey pick up everything - a disease that's when and help her get out. Recognition of a dependent and sick man the first step to recovery, of course it really does not pass it. You just have a plow on himself.

  • Olga (16.09.2009 / 9:19):

    Paul, most importantly, do not throw your sister, support her. When a person (whether women - men) problems, it becomes much worse, harder, if they turn away from his relatives.
    Perhaps you are her only hope and support. This is important - to know that brother will always help and support you. This is encouraging.
    Good luck to you!

    That's it - for me! I - a successful man, for I can not say that I had alcohol dependence. But I can not drink the days of 10, and then again the next 3-5 days of heavy drinking and terrible depression. The work is related to creativity, everything goes on emotions, the adrenaline. My adult son, the second favorite is the man who knows my problems and suffering. To drink, I started with the first, it is us and bred, but the craving remains. If she drank 100 g and sleep ... No, at least 4L of beer or almost a bottle of vodka without starters ... And then a wild aggression, hysteria, loss of memory ... morning depression, hangovers, a desire to change. Depart for three days, then enjoy life, so I am glad that again I need a drink ... And so on new terms. I want to change something. If you change, make sure you write how I did it.

    My wife is also an alcoholic, she was 29 years old. A week ago, she sewed Isperal for 3 years. Now he does not drink, but I for alcohol has always been indifferent, and recently decided not to drink at all. And my father wino, too, want him to sew.
    I have a feeling that there is no such person in the CIS countries, which somehow has not been a victim of alcohol addiction. We should unite the common people and to combat this disease.
    With regard to female alcoholism, it's really scary when my wife gets drunk on her or her husband or child is not necessary, as her mother, even though every ball cation, only to have another drink. All people should stop drinking, just for the sake of children, not to show them an example. Our kids will also be treated by society, which did not convince them that not drink, but you my example will show the opposite. Do you have a chance, to protect the child from drinking. For me this is the main total.
