School, where they teach you to live soberly
Nowadays Russia occupies one of the leading places in the world in consuming of alcohol per capita. The alcoholic and drug addiction among children is growing up. For the nation remains the serious problem of alcoholism. How to save the country from self-destruction, people from misery and complete annihilation.
It’s meaningful to remember about unique experiment of M. Morrel, a French scientist who studied 4 generations of heavy drinkers: “Depraved moral accounts for alcohol abuse in the 1st generation, according to the scientist. In the 2nd, drinking in the truth sense of the word. The 3rd generation is suffering from hypochondria, melancholia and inclination to the murdering, suicide. The 4th generation – from idiotism, stupidity and sterility…” Therefore, a clear warning was given to these people: then future generation with alcoholic tendency would disappear from the face of the earth.
Russia had better days: in 1913, a school was launched based on sobriety principals and at that time, Russia was ranked in the one before last position among countries with drinking problems.
The World Health Organization in 1978 declared alcoholism as a drug number 1 in the world because of accessibility and perfidy of alcohol.
What do adults and children need to know today? Once anybody of us went to school & learnt to read, write & count. As in any school, our audience learns to live soberly and that such way of living becomes their conviction.
How to formulate the alcoholics’ point of view: a family of drinkers is acceptable as long as its members drink without excess, don’t make scandals, provoke fights and in which there is a tradition to celebrate events with alcohol. In such a family a child, looking at his mum organizing the table for a party, tells his dad to take the vodka bottle from the fridge with sweetness towards alcohol. The kid considers that happiness and goodness is linked to vodka. When he gets to the table surrounded by adults, the father and supreme authority forbids him to join the adults saying: grow up first and you will be like your dad…Later, the grownup child will be convinced of these traditions. Convictions and state of mind are the components that will determine a future case of alcoholic person. Therefore, trying to cure this worldwide issue using drugs, injections and prohibitive measures is hopeless. At any time, human being will flirt with danger, will suffer from his own prejudices and at the end, will give up fighting. Alcohol, a great misleading means and exutory.
Man according to his nature remains sober as long as his conscience does not receive any information about alcohol or consequence of its abuse. In other words, sobriety is the norm for human beings – drinking means deviation from normal state.
Severe alcoholics pretend that being sober means to be excluded from the group and put in the circle of deviating persons. Medical circles recognize the myth of alcohol’s damaging power: alcohol is known to damage sexual cells. Autopsy of dead alcoholics shows: in 34% of cases, sexual cells have been damaged, in 64% sexual cells have been atrophied and in the remaining 2% they remain normal. Therefore, its understandable that severe alcoholics bear the risk to become impotent.
Notice amateurs of vodka – men become shorter in size and their face gets distorted. Spirituous heavily deform women’s body, deprives them from their femininity, destroys their sexual system and starting from the 3rd year of heavy alcohol consumption, women loose their ability to give birth. Alcoholics cease being family and society members, become incapable to bring up their children and see their health state degrading fast as well as their near ones’.
In resume, you can avoid alcoholism with your own resources. One’s own conviction of sobriety demonstrates that you overcame the problem. It is a merit of which you should be proud of but not ashamed of.
How does it happen? A basic sign of alcoholism is the fact of periodic drinking. If the need for drinking is not satisfied, it becomes suffer. However standing the pain for 3 days by abstinence and the need causing this state of sickness will disappear. Key is to control oneself. You should not permit any relapse, because one or two shots of vodka can drag you back in the swamp of alcoholic illusions. The objective is not to drink reasonably but to remain utterly sober at any time.
Alcoholics have partially lost orientation in their life due to lack of information regarding consequences of heavy consumption of spirituous. Therefore it is sufficient to work on the patient’s developing a clear and definite persuasion for sobriety, even if the privation effects of abstinence are physically and psychologically difficult to stand at the beginning. If the patient does not resist this temptation and does not manage to convince himself to become sober, he will continue to drink, whatever the medical treatment.
The charity organization Sobriety received more than 10'000 people in its program coming from all over the country. Getting over alcoholism brings happiness, improves personal health and increases self-confidence.
