My father is an alcoholic. When he start to drink first day he keeps it in limits, and the same continues for 2 more days. But after that from 4th day onwards, he drinks all day long. He starts in the morning itself. This continues fro 2 to 3 days. Finally one day he apologies saying that, he would not touch alcohol in is life. And takes rest for 2 days. He himself consult doctor and ask for antialcoholic medicine. He takes for about 2 days or less. And then he says that I have left alcohol no need of treatment for me and stop taking medicine. But few days later like about 15 to 30 days he starts to have alcohol again and same drama is going on since many year. Please tell me what to do to solve this problem completely. Please please. Any possible way to stop him without taking him to deaddiction center.

Dear Lybrate user Alcohol addiction just like other addictions has psychological causes. There are reasons behind addictions. Many times addiction is serving some purpose or it became minds way of dealing witj stress discomfort etc or it becomes a psychological defense. There are more such possibilities and once the root cause (s) are identified and resolved/treated then the addiction automatically goes away. Many people have gotten rid of their addiction at bhati mind care from different parts of India by being at their home only. You father too can get benefits if he takes this approach. The good thing is understands his problem. Even after coming from deaddiction centers most of the people eventually start consuming alcohol again because the root causes are still there. You can contact me in private for more information regarding this. Good luck.
