    Do you have any cure for alcoholism without the alcoholic person to know about it. My mother is an alcoholic and this was a tabu subject for all of our family... it's unbearable because I don't know how to deal with the situation. We tried to discuss once but she felt really bad about it and we decided to let her make her choice. I would really like to see her fight this in alcohol rehab and that's for her sake, I am worried about her health.

    While trying stop drug or alcohol addiction at home is possible. A real change from your normal routine is what is normally needed. As the old saying goes "Do what you have always done, and get what you have always gotten." I went to a three month program at Narconon VistaBay and while that may have been a long time the ultimate end result was sobriety from there on out, I know some people can do it on there own but support is a very important aspect for sobriety.

    Maybe these home remedies for alcoholism have the right effect, but i doubt that there are many men with alcoholism who would take them seriously. They need a huge will to give up drinking and considering that most of these persons deny their problem, i believe that some professional help would be better for them.

    The biggest problem with alcoholics is that to them it’s not a problem. It’s usually the people around them who suffer, many silently. My cousin is an alcoholic but she has never sought help for her problem. We have advised her and we never drink around her but ultimately she must want to change for herself. We are worried about her general health. She doesn’t have a steady job. She usually gets fired for not turning up for work once too often nursing her hangovers. She has successfully pushed away every man that was interested in her with her nasty habit. Given all these happenings, it’s a wonder she doesn’t want out but she still thinks she’s okay. I am going to email her this write-up and offer my support if she wants to take on any of the mentioned remedies. I am sure all her other family members and close friends will definitely jump on board to support her if she takes the first step to change. Fingers crossed, I hope this easy home remedies will open her mind to want to change.

    I think the home remedies you have suggested will definitely help to stop the alcohol addiction, but during the process of the treatment is it shows any other medical symptoms i.e. withdrawal symptoms?
