Each person is born to fulfill his specific mission on earth: to meet people who are important and significant for him, to find love, to create a family, to raise children, to be realized in any profession. These important stages of the life path are subconsciously perceived by a person as life goals, to which one needs to strive, while overcoming difficult trials and obstacles.
But sometimes it happens that, confidently marching through life and having excellent goals and plans for life, a person unexpectedly strays from the intended path, plunging into oblivion from his own mistakes and omissions. Life ceases to bring joy, only resentment and disappointment remain. As a result, everyone begins to suffer: the culprit of what is happening, and his spinning (friends, parents, children). Why then does a once successful and ambitious person abruptly lose interest in life, seeking comfort and joy in unrestrained drunkenness? Believers and esotericists claim that the reason for such a sudden addiction to alcohol is supernatural interference.
Christian view of alcoholism
The official religion recognizes the fact of the otherworldly influence on people, leading them to alcohol or drug addiction. In the biographies of the holy martyrs, you can read the story of a Roman named Bonifatius. Now he is canonized, but during his lifetime this man was very weak in spirit and sinful. Bonifatius was the slave of a rich woman named Aglais, with her he led a licentious lifestyle and was often drunk. Realizing all the sinfulness of their life, Aglaida sent Boniface to a neighboring city to redeem the relics of the holy martyrs and thereby help him atone for his sins. On the way, the man realized his mistakes and voluntarily gave up wine, spending days and nights in prayers to the Lord. However, upon arriving in a nearby city, the man was caught by the pagans and was repeatedly tortured and tortured. Sincerely believing in the power of the Lord,Boniface felt neither pain nor fear, but he still did not manage to escape death, as in the end he was beheaded by the enemies of Christianity. Upon learning of the death of a man, Aglaida ransomed his remains and buried him according to Christian traditions. Subsequently, Boniface's relics became saints, and he himself is considered the patron saint of people suffering from alcohol and drug addiction.
From the point of view of the Christian religion, a person becomes addicted to alcohol if he leads a sinful life and does not try to seek salvation in prayers. A soul not backed up by faith becomes an easy target for the drunken demon. You can drive out this demon by hard work, a righteous lifestyle and the tireless prayers of a person and all his relatives, crying for help from the Lord and Boniface, the patron saint of all people with harmful addictions. It is believed that a soul filled with faith and love for the Lord will be able to resist the demon and drive him out forever, and hard work will strengthen the body and spirit of the victim.
A look at drunkenness from the side of esotericism

Despite the similar views of Christianity and esotericism on the problem of drunkenness, there are still some differences in the understanding of the mechanism of influence on the human soul.
From the point of view of the mystics, alcoholism and drug addiction occur in a person possessed by demons, which coincides with the Christian views on the problem. However, according to esotericists, demonic possession arises not as a result of a sinful life and weak faith in the Lord, but due to the thinning of the energy layers of a person, his aura. Thinning of a person's energy bodies can occur against the background of his constant depression, illness, depression, negative emotions and thoughts, or as a result of a third-party directed influence on the aura (damage, evil eye). As a result of the change in the energy shells, a gap arises in the aura, a kind of portal into which the lower energy entities rush, demons, which are often called larvae.
Psychics claim that the larvae are in the aura from the back, and, like puppeteers, they lead their victim, forcing her to drink alcohol and do crazy things. These demons feed on negative black energy, which, undoubtedly, the drinking person possesses. To drive out demons, it is necessary to conduct special "lectures" - prayers and spells that drive out demons, as well as take infusions of special herbs that restore the patient's mental strength and help him resist the orders of these entities. The most effective infusions are drinks containing dandelion, thyme, wormwood, thyme.
A look at alcoholism from the point of view of modern medicine
Despite the fact that the problem of alcoholism is described even in ancient religious texts, and there are proven facts of healing with the help of prayers and decoctions, modern medicine is rather skeptical about the supernatural causes of drunkenness.
So, modern experts consider the psychological block of a person to be an obsession with demons, leading to binges. His unwillingness to live in a real harsh world, where every day it is necessary to solve problems and take responsibility. It is much easier for a person to go into oblivion and leave all the worries and problems to the people around him. Even realizing the problem of alcoholism, some people find it difficult to give up the addiction because of the fear of a sudden change in lifestyle. It's scary to be in society again, scared to abandon old drinking companions and find new friends, scared to go back to work and bear the burden of responsibility for your family, scary to break loose and return to a drunken life, so it's much easier not to start any changes and live by inertia.
The care and concern of loved ones, their faith in a person, support and participation sometimes become the very impetus that nevertheless brings a person out of the stupor and he, feeling that they believe in him and love him, finds the strength to give up alcohol.
Herbs and infusions can indeed be used as an aid to alcoholism, and their use is not prohibited by modern medicine. So, thyme, dandelion, thyme, wormwood and other herbs have a calming effect, they relieve anxiety and irritability inherent in alcoholics, help to improve sleep. In addition, the bitterness contained in the herbs cleanses the liver and detoxifies, and relieves hangover syndrome.
Despite the different understanding of the problem of alcohol dependence, there are still a number of common features that are recognized by believing Christians, and esotericists, and modern doctors. The problem of drunkenness, as a rule, arises in the most difficult moments of life, when a person loses confidence in himself, when his desire to fight adversity disappears. And the support and participation of relatives, their faith in the willpower of the drinker, their hope, patience and love help to overcome the disease.
