It is a year of the new 2016 day, I decided to make a serious change - to stop drinking. He had been drinking since I was 14 years old, and was for me to drink and get drunk regularly part of normal life appeared to be a rite of passage in which took in their teenage years, and then continued his life adults.
I was one of those people who were party to drink and have a good time, I drank to celebrate the achievements, commisération bad days, I drank - I drank for many different reasons. Alcohol is deeply integrated into the world in which we live, every culture, every corner of the world be able to find something to drink alcohol for themselves. A difficult prospect if you want to end! My first thought - H ow go - I go? What parties / birthdays / weddings / funerals? What if I have as ** t day? What if I have a good day? What is Christmas? New Year? The list goes on and on.
I quit smoking and I do not have a drink for just over a year. My reasons are personal to me, but quite simply, I had just had enough of it. I had spent enough money and hours trying to lose the drinking, I felt like I was drinking my life away - drinking, sleeping, feel s ** t repeat week after week. Hello The last year, I have it, bad days, national holidays, is celebrated my birthday, attended weddings celebrated it Christmas / New Year - all without the need for alcohol at all. If I said it last year, I really would not have thought it possible.
Sobriety I was very spiritual, emotional and mental - that we learn not to a substance from which alters the mind to help overcome the bad times and help you celebrate the good. It is worth it? In short, my answer is yes. It is possible to do so? Yes Here is my answer. It takes determination and support from family, friends or others, if necessary, such as self-help groups such as the recovery of AA, but it is achievable if there is something that you are considering.
For all, a break in sobriety or alcohol, plan for any reason, there are many advantages for this decision. Here are some of my personal experience in the last year:
Life without the hangover
Seriously, one of the biggest advantages. I remember a few days I was so hung over, I thought it was game over, everything was an effort and anxiety W hat last night? What do I say? Resaca fear - this hellish place where things are a little fuzzy and just want to curl up and not you responsible intoxicated. I do not miss.
Look and feel healthier
I wish I had a pound for every person who told me last year: "You are really looking good," Seriously stop for a while to drink and see the compliments role. I feel physically and mentally healthy, I 'now don t drink.
Spiritual, mental and emotional
Sobriety changed me and I always changes as a human being, in a positive and rewarding way. I began to see things differently, to handle things differently and understand the people. I am more to develop in line with my feelings and my spiritual side, in a way I've never experienced when I had to drink the crutch. The change caused me to remove the most toxic habits, including people, situations and things.
Life feels positive
Stop drinking me feel good, energized and productive. It is a liberating experience. I have a lot of gratitude for the little things this year and more in order to maintain the important things in my life, like family and friends. Life feels more positive as a direct result.
Life feels to be easier to handle
My stress levels and anxiety levels decreased dramatically - alcohol is a depressant, after all. My health through automatic deletion begins to improve. mean a combination of all these factors mentioned above, that life has become more manageable, enjoyable and relatively stress-free. Life has its ups and downs, not get me wrong, but it just feels easier without alcohol as part of it.
Who wants a short-term and long-term or permanent discontinuation of alcohol - I note share my experience that it is possible and feasible. It is a year, I could not imagine a life without alcohol; a year later, I can not imagine my life with her frankly.
