The famous Russian actor and "bourgeois" of the national cinema Valery Nikolaev began to appear often in a state of intoxication

Modern celebrities are alcoholics

Hello dear readers! Today I would like to talk about such a terrible problem as female alcoholism.

When a man drinks deeply, it is terrible, but a woman subject to such destructive passion is a disaster.

Children suffer the most from alcoholic mothers

The female body is designed to bear and give birth to children, but it can cope with an addiction to alcohol in exceptional cases.

Vivid examples are famous women-alcoholics, to whom the love of alcohol has disfigured everything: career, personal life, many have deprived the opportunity to become a mother.

I think it's no secret to anyone that addiction to alcohol has its roots in childhood. Many famous women have acquired this habit through the fault of their environment.

For example, in the case of " parisian sparrow"- a miniature woman named Edith Piaf. She had an incredibly powerful voice, especially given her height and build. Personally, when I hear her voice, goosebumps always run through my body. And you?

Edith Piaf "The Sparrow of Paris"

But this talented woman was devoured from the inside by a terrible addiction - Piaf was a drug addict and an alcoholic. If she was able to overcome addiction to drugs, then she could not cope with alcohol. The reason for this may be the fact that she, still a tiny baby, was constantly given wine so that she would sleep and not scream if she wanted to eat. Can you imagine what damage the next of kin caused to the child's body? Naturally, in her case, the passion for alcohol was in literally imbibed with mother's milk.

Edith Piaf suffered from alcoholism and drug addiction

Another woman who can be categorized as a famous drunkard is Galina Brezhneva. In her youth, she had everything she could wish for, even large diamonds in her vase, like candy canes. But the love of vodka ruined her health, destroyed her mind, ruined and killed her.

Galina Brezhneva with a famous father

Brezhneva ended her turbulent life in a madhouse, alone, useless, sick.

Alcoholism destroyed happy life Galina Brezhneva

Female alcoholism

A woman is outwardly a very fragile and delicate creature, but by nature her body is designed for serious overloads - she must endure, give birth and feed a child. A woman even lives longer than a man, but she cannot drink on a par with him. Her body is not designed to deal with alcohol, so a woman becomes addicted to alcohol much faster and holds on much stronger.

Our beloved Tatyana Dogileva was able to defeat alcoholism

Celebrities who have recovered from alcoholism

We all know celebrities who have quit drinking. A striking example— Britney Spears, the young American singer whose love of drinking, drugs and partying led to the near destruction of her successful career, shameful pictures in the press, the collapse of the marriage and the removal of the right to custody of two sons.

Britney Spears and alcohol

Now it is gradually leveling off and changing for the better, but what has been done cannot be returned - the stamp of rejection will forever remain on it. It's a shame that the flight that started so well ended at the very beginning, and Britney herself, a wounded bird, was left to reproach herself and fate for the tragic events in her life.

An equally notable example from the life of stars who have permanently quit drinking is Elizabeth Taylor.

elizabeth taylor quit drinking for good

This incredibly beautiful woman slowly got involved in a booze, trying to save her husband, the artist Richard Burton, but soon she herself began to drink no less than him. She quickly gained weight, grew ugly and began to lose roles. But the fighting spirit took its toll, and she was able to cope with alcoholism. What can not be said about her husband - a handsome and talented actor, whom we know from his roles in "Cleopatra" and "Young Lions", Burton died suddenly, before he even reached the age of sixty.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of women suffering from alcoholism in the artistic environment. The availability of booze, a pernicious example and the environment caused the unrestrained drinking of such stars as actresses Drew Barrymore, Lindsay Loan, singer and artist Courtney Love, Larisa Guzeeva, supermodel Lara Stone, and many others. famous women. However, if Drew Barrymore, Guzeeva and Stone were able to overcome addiction, this is not yet available to other women.

How sobriety changes can be demonstrated by the example of Kelly Osbourne, the daughter of the “great and terrible” Ozzy Osbourne.

Kelly Osbourne was hampered by alcohol

She was a monstrously overweight, ugly girl with excellent vocal abilities, who simply killed herself with alcohol due to painful perception. own appearance. As soon as she realized that vodka would not help her, she just needed to take care of herself, as the result was not long in coming. Kelly lost weight, fell into the hands of a talented stylist and literally changed - a very attractive and talented young woman with a bright and successful future opened up in her.

Kelly Osbourne became a beauty thanks to sobriety

To do this, she had to realize that she herself had value, and not the alcohol she had drunk.

Alcohol kills a woman

Don't expect alcohol to solve all your problems. Where a glass of cognac relieves stress, a bottle will become a step into the abyss. Consider whether you are ready to take this step.

I am very glad that you were with me today.

Irina Rodnina became an alcoholic as a child, and a drug hospital is crying for Lolita Milyavskaya

Drunkard mother - grief in the family, - they say among the people. Female alcoholism is detected late, when the lady has already reached the handle, and the life of her loved ones has turned into hell. Representatives of the fair half often drink secretly and alone, without admitting their vice for a long time, which aggravates the trouble. And even after a course of treatment, they often fail.

Alcoholism is a chronic disease. Anyone can be at risk, regardless of merits and titles, profession and social status. Many famous women know this firsthand.

Drunken childhood of Irina Rodnina

In 2007, Olympic champion Irina Rodnina raced around Moscow in an Audi. Traffic police officers stopped the car - an ex-figure skater fell out from behind the wheel. The star reeked of alcohol. Irina Konstantinovna refused to undergo a medical examination. Having sobered up, she rushed to make excuses. In numerous interviews, she convinced that she had only drunk a couple of glasses of wine. But then she spoke about the problems with alcohol throughout the country:
- Two glasses are nothing to me. From the age of eight, my parents poured red wine at dinner!
Aleksey Medvedev, head of the women's narcological department of the Yaroslavl Regional Clinical Hospital, concludes: the parents themselves soldered Irina.
- The child was in a state of chronic alcoholism, - explains the doctor. - In childhood, the enzymatic system is poorly developed, alcohol leaves the body more slowly. The fact that two glasses of wine are no longer perceived as the dose necessary for intoxication speaks of the onset of tolerance. Initially, a person needs a little to feel relaxed, a desire to communicate. Then comes the increase in tolerance, when the body requires an increase in the dose in order to experience the same state. Then there comes a moment when the growth of tolerance stops, the plateau phase comes - the use of consistently high doses.
Rodnina admitted that she was deeply addicted to alcohol in immigration. Tears Olympic champion on a pedestal in 1980, the whole country remembers. It was the last "gold" of the great athlete and a touching farewell to great sports. Later, Rodnina cried, washing down defeats in her coaching career with cognac and family drama. It was already in the USA, where Irina and her family moved at the invitation of one of the centers figure skating. The great athlete did not know a word of English, she had no coaching experience, at first strong athletes did not want to work with her. And at home it was even worse: husband Alexander Zaitsev, with whom she performed in a pair, went to another and threatened to take the children through the court.

Terrible thoughts of Tatyana Vasilyeva

Tatyana Vasilyeva began to lay behind the collar while still at the theater school. Creative successes were celebrated over a glass, fatigue was relieved, sadness was drowned, left without the main roles.
- Alcohol in small doses acts as a sedative. But with regular use in large doses, aggression and irritability appear, - states Alexei Medvedev. - Fighting depression in this way is dangerous. The next morning, the oppressive feeling is aggravated. What do you want in this situation? Drink more and forget. Vicious circle.
Tatyana Grigorievna admits that she did not notice when her first husband, Anatoly Vasiliev, had an affair on the side. Upon learning, the actress poured longing in the usual way. Alcohol was mixed with drugs.
- There were thoughts of jumping down - we lived high, on the 14th floor, - Vasiliev is shocking with frankness. - In the morning I could drink vodka. Such a "rip" was inside. More and more alcohol was needed. I remember that period with horror.

Strange pirouettes by Tatyana Dogileva

Tatyana Dogileva, they say, is still breaking down. Although in the profession everything is fine with her: she puts on performances, she produces. In the 1990s, when the theater and domestic cinema were breathing their last breath, there were more reasons for despair.
“I couldn’t sleep, the sleeping pills didn’t work,” Dogileva recalled. My teeth were chattering, my hands were twitching. It even seemed like I was going crazy. She started crying on stage.
The Green Serpent caused her divorce from playwright and screenwriter Mikhail Mishin. The actress almost stopped filming, and rare roles were “silent”, as in the series “Crazy Angel”: they say Konstantin Ernst doubted that Tanya was able to remember the text.
The district police officers called the actress "the blonde under the fence." Dogileva recalls with indignation how she was dragged by her feet in the prefecture, where she came to protest against the construction of Nikita Mikhalkov's hotel in Maly Kozikhinsky Lane next to her house. The drunk actress lay down on the floor in the corridor. In the clinic for the mentally ill, where Tatyana Anatolyevna found herself more than once, she was diagnosed with deep depression. The body stops producing serotonin, the happy hormone. There Dogileva learned to fall asleep without alcohol. But she celebrated her birthday - and again ended up in a hospital bed.

I became the main alcoholic of Russia, - the actress admitted.
The last time she appeared drunk on the floor of the Ukrainian version of the TV show "Dancing with the Stars" in 2011. Strange steps, indistinct pirouettes, hanging on a partner and the final half-split did not raise any doubts: Dogileva was again under the fly. The actress demanded that the jury recognize her as a legend of cinema, emptying two glasses of water from the judge's table in one gulp.
- It is impossible to completely recover from alcoholism, you can only achieve a long remission, - explains the narcologist Alexei Medvedev. - After drug treatment touching alcohol is prohibited. It seems that you are able to control yourself, but this is an illusion.

The main sin of Ekaterina Vasilyeva

Today, the beautiful actress Ekaterina Vasilyeva is a parishioner of the Moscow church of Sophia the Wise of God. She prefers not to remember her turbulent youth, although she does not hide it: yes, she drank, yes, she cheated, she had abortions. Once her second husband Mikhail Roshchin took her son away from her. Before his death, Mikhail Mikhailovich gave a frank interview.
- I told her: “Katya, what you drink, smoke, have abortions and swear, these are all ordinary sins. The main sin is dislike for people and great love for oneself.
Roshchin explained the reason for the divorce from Vasilyeva as follows:
- We had to leave, abruptly and categorically. Katya drank so much that there seemed to be no salvation. The poet Vasiliev, Katya's father, was a notorious drunkard. It's hereditary. In which clinics she was not treated! But I met the priest Father Vladimir, and he helped. I think she became a sincere believer, otherwise nothing would have happened. A year ago, when we met, she was just sipping champagne. I gave her my son, and she began to drag him to church.
Dmitry Roshchin became a priest in the same church where his mother works as a treasurer.
- Faith often becomes a salvation for alcoholics - they replace one addiction with another. In this case, harmless and creative, says the narcologist. - Some find a new hobby. This is also a way out.

New "dope" Natalia Andreychenko

Having met Maximilian Schell on the set of the film "Peter the Great", the charming "Mary Poppins" - actress Natalya Andreichenko - left for the USA. But Hollywood didn't accept it.

Nightmare of Larisa Guzeeva

Larisa Guzeeva also does not hide the fact that she was close friends with the bottle. The binge came during the years of creative downtime, at the very peak of youth and beauty - after her first husband, who turned out to be a drug addict, Larisa sank to the bottom. Realizing that she was going downhill, she “sewn up” for a year.
- How did this happen to me? There were friends who were always ready to lend a full glass, there were those who were glad that I was dying, - the actress shared. - It was worth drinking, and another person woke up in me. I wanted to become disgusting and shout: "Yes, that's such rubbish I am!" And carried me into all serious.

Fortunately, fate sent her a second loving husband- Kahu Tolordava, who helped to get out of the abyss.

Hard rock of Lolita Milyavskaya

Outrageous Lolita stubbornly tries to convince everyone: she had no problems with alcohol. With prohibited substances - yes, but she always controls the dose of drunk. However, those who see the singer behind the scenes have a different opinion. However, it is really not easy to distinguish a reckless sober Lolita from a reckless drunk.
Dancing on the table, kissing passionately with transvestites - already a legend. In Odessa, at the celebration of the City Day, Milyavskaya took the stage in a nightgown and, lifting her legs, performed a rock composition. In ecstasy, the singer straddled a tripod.
- Alcohol removes psychological barriers, - our expert explains. - In the first stage, there is a loss of situational control when a person allows himself to get drunk at important events. If you give up on the problem, the second stage begins: physical dependence, when alcohol molecules are built into metabolic processes. There are binges with a severe hangover. Anxiety, trembling in the body, a feeling of lack of air, a feeling of fear are its symptoms. Further - irreversible processes and degradation of the personality. God forbid you bring yourself to such a state.

You can't cure by force
If someone close to you makes friends with a glass, take him as a patient. There is no need to regret or scold - both are destructive. Don't force help - violent treatment is ineffective - but gently encourage the alcoholic to think that he has a problem with alcohol: he must want to get rid of it himself. Make it clear that you are ready to provide support if asked.

Underline if so:
1. Two or more glasses of wine you drink every day.
2. You feel that the intoxication comes later, and increase the dose.
3. You are familiar with the state of severe hangover.
4. There are heavy drinkers among close relatives.
5. You have problems with metabolism, blood vessels.

If you have noted more than two signs in yourself - be vigilant: you are at risk!
