Advice For People Who Have A Drinking Problem

Have you got a drinking problem? Are you an alcoholic? Are you looking for advice about curing your drink problem? If you have answered yes to one or more of these questions then I am hoping that this article will prove beneficial for you. I have just witnessed the fall from grace of a good friend of mine, a couple of years ago he was on top of the world, he seemingly had it all. Then alcohol got the better of him, he now feels that he has lost everything and today is at a very low point in his life.

My friend requires urgent help but to start with he needs to help himself. He does attend alcohol anonymous meetings but is a some what reluctant attendee. In my opinion he is still not convinced that he needs to completely stop drinking, despite everything that has happened to him and until he does he will stay in the depths of depression.

Around two years ago my friend, I will call him Ian even though this is not his real name, had a loving wife, two young children, was a director of a successful company, had a large four bedroom house and seemingly had a great life. For whatever reason he started to drink heavily and despite an apparent happy home life would spend most nights in a local bar, drinking himself into oblivion.

I think that he thought that this was normality, work hard, play hard. The first I heard of any problems came about when he informed me that his wife had kicked him out of their house and that he had temporarily moved back to live with his parents. At that stage he believed that he would be able to smoothe things over with his wife but he never did.

This break up hit Ian hard and he began to drink even more. A few weeks later he was caught drink driving and was demoted at the company where he worked. Ian was still a senior manager but had lost his status as a director and later also lost his driving license after being banned for twelve months at court.

Ian now became very depressed and was described happy pills by the doctor. His behaviour then became erratic and his work started to suffer, it was like he could no longer be bothered with it all. His overall self-esteem and confidence took a massive dive.

Last week Ian was sacked after turning up at the office smelling of booze. This is how alcohol can ruin your life. Take control now, stop drinking before it takes control of you.

Nicocure Patches - How Effective Are They?

The best experts on 'how to stop smoking' are non smokers. Or that what it always seems like! I always find that hard to swallow that a non-smoker who has never given up smoking will always give advice on 'how to give up smoking'.

Speaking as someone who has been there and done that, it is not as easy as it sounds. It took more than a hardy resolve, will power and mind over matter as nicotine is one heck of an addictive substance. It is no joke. For instance, did you know it is easier to wean yourself off heroin or cocaine than it is with nicotine? Nicotine is one lethally addictive drug so trying to quit with will power is not impossible, but it is a very big ask of anyone.

This is the reason most people who try to give up seek the help of one of many stop smoking products out there. And there are many, many, many stop smoking products to chose from. You have probably seen yourself that the choice is overwhelming.

Trouble is that the majority of them are not too effective and some even hinder your progress. For instance: Why on earth do some stop smoking patches contain nicotine. I mean, it's just like giving alcohol to an alcoholic! If you're trying to stop smoking, nicotine needs to be removed from the body, not added.

Then there is Nicotine Replacement Therapy, also known as NRT. What a crock. You as a smoker are led to believe that the nicotine contained in the cigarettes is medicinal and is not the same type of nicotine which comes from the tobacco plant. If it comes from the tobacco plant, then it will have nicotine in it. Plain and simple.

So what is the way forward? The company Ultra Herbal has a natural alternative called Nicocure Patches. The company claim that the patches are made to be a fast and safe way to rid you of your nicotine cravings. They also claim that Nicocure patches does not contain nicotine but a safe blend which reproduces the same effect as nicotine without the side effects of addiction. This is good as if it has the same effect as nicotine without being nicotine, giving up becomes a lot easier.

I have used Nicocure patches and they do indeed quell the desire to reach for that cigarette. And one thing I noticed whilst using Nicocure is that when I did try a cigarette, it tasted disgusting! Very effective.

As I said before, there are many stop smoking products out there and a few of them do work. Nicocure is one of them.

There are so many 'stop smoking' products and aids available so how do you decide what is for you?
