Fasting is defined as a state of a complete rest physiologically.  Fasting is accomplished by stopping eating and just drinking only clean and pure water.  It is ideally done in an environment where there is minimal mental and physical exertion.

When animals get sick, it is in their nature to just lie down and sleep.  They will rest without food until they will get better.  This is both and entirely effective and instinctive behavior.

When fasting, there are some contradictions.  For example is if you are in a certain type of cancer or if you are suffering from anorexia.  In these conditions, you may not have reserves to buffer them against stress of detoxification or nourishing the body.  On the other hand, fasting is great for those who are planning to have a baby, but it is not suitable to those who are already pregnant.

If you are tucked in a marriage rocked by alcoholism, you need to get in touch as soon as possible to a therapist.  Immediately arrange a meeting with them.  There are many non-profit organizations who helped people affected by alcoholism.

It is best to stay away from doing anything just to curb the alcoholism of your spouse.  It is more imperative for you to learn to accept the limitation of the person regarding their over drinking.  Although it might sound absurd, you will start to deal with your spouse’s alcoholism problem if you will focus on yourself.
