how is an alcoholic cured?

Alcoholism is not something that can be cured. It is a disease and it is always there, even if you don't drink anymore. You will always have that temptation to drink, just like a smoker that quits will always want a cigarette. I guess the will to not drink anymore is the greatest "cure" that you can have. :)

The situation is out of your control. You are an active participant in her sickness, you need professional help.  I would start looking at a residential treatment facility for her.  you also need to talk to a marriage & family, or drug treatment therapist about it.  You need to get well just as she does. Alcoholism controls the family, not just the alcoholic.

I'm an alcoholic myself, so I know this all too well.  You need to get him help.  There are two forms: 1. Psychology & 2. Psychiatry.  In this case his depression seems pretty bad, so I would take him to a psychiatrist and get him on anti-depressants. \n\nAs far as his drinking -- well only he can stop that.  If he is only drinking because he's depressed, he might cut down when he gets on the pills.  Otherwise the only thing you can do is try to make him see how much it is hurting his life.  Only he can make the decision to stop.

There is a cure for every disorder. Yoy can only help yourself out with temporary cures if you do not address the the cause. Dehydration is the most probable cause of setting off this condition. 75% of Americans are 6-8 glasses of water dehydrated and their taste response is so misguided that they sense hunger when they are thirsty. The other problem that Americans have is their food has poor mineral content. \n\nDrinking 6-8 glasses of distilled water with a pinch of unrefined sea salt will rehydrate and remineralize your body. This could by itself make your skin supple and healthy. \n\n30 minutes of sunlight every day will help.\n\nEating oily fish or a fish oil supplement could help.\n\nAlmond and walnuts are great sources of good oil.\n\nSwitch from drinking toxic milk to almond milk or walnut milk.\n\nConsider externally usiing coconut oil with squeezed lemon juice for lightening. \n\nEat less processed foods and more raw foods.\n\nThe cure is out there but is it worth the changes of diet and lifestlye? Our bodies are wonderful mechanisms that want to be healed. Chicken Skin is just an indicator to change your diet and lifestyle. Later in life it might be in the form of much more dangerous symptoms. Keratosis Pilaris should be a wake up call. Will you answer it?

Tell him he has a problem and that he needs to get help if he "is not able to".  \n\nIf he still doesn't do anything after that to try and kick his alcoholism, dump him.

While there are lots of recipes for hangover, there are even more studies that prove NOTHING works to cure a hangover. Just drink lots of water and wait it out baby.

Ask him.  Alcohol usually helps.

Since he faints now and is not drinking he needs to see a doctor and be evalutated. I haven't heard of anything that can be used to repair brain damage. Vitamins would probably be good for his general health and after years of drinking he is probably anemic anyway. Talk to a doctor about iron pills and general vitamins.

go to some ofthe social service clinics an tell them your problem try to get in a aa group asap. a statment from the website ......\n\n\n  Is A.A. For You?\nOnly you can decide whether you want to give A.A.a try —\nwhether you think it can help you.\n\nWe who are in A.A. came because we finally gave up trying to control our drinking. We still hated to admit that we could never drink safely. Then we heard from other A.A. members that we were sick. (We thought so for years!) We found out that many people suffered from the same feelings of guilt and loneliness and hopelessness that we did. We found out that we had these feelings because we had the disease of alcoholism.\n\nWe decided to try and face up to what alcohol had done to us. Here are some of the questions we tried to answer honestly. If we answered YES to four or more questions, we were in deep trouble with our drinking. See how you do. Remember, there is no disgrace in facing up to the fact that you have a problem.

No, fetal alcohol syndrome is a developmental problem where the alcohol damaged the baby's brain tissue and other organs while they were developing.  Unless you can somehow regrow your brain, you can't cure it.  Babies are hurt by alcohol within 4 weeks of conception, around the time you first start to wonder if you are pregnant or not.

rinse in just plain water and than take a gulp of gin or whiskey, the water  is for the leftover food , the alcohol is for disinfection/\nand now to be serious, don't be cheap buy a bottle.

As others have said, try AA or another counseling and support program. Beating alcoholism is difficult, but not impossible. Some have managed to go cold turkey and do it on their own, but almost all go back on the wagon at some point in the future. It's much easier with the support of others.\n\nGetting rid of the alcohol in the house is a good start.
