It is a year of New Year's Day 2016, I decided to make a serious change - to stop drinking. He had been drinking since I was 14 years old and for me, drink and get drunk regularly seemed a part of normal life, a rite of passage when he took on in his youth and throughout his adult life.
I was one of those people who drank the party and have a good time, I drank to celebrate the achievements, I drank sympathize bad days - I was drinking for many different reasons. Alcohol is deeply integrated into the world in which we live, every culture, every corner of this country have something to drink alcohol. A challenge if you want to quit smoking! My first thought - H OW I go? That is, parties / birthdays / weddings / funerals? And if I, as ** t day? And if I have a good day? What is Christmas? New Year? The list goes on and on.
I verlasse and I do not have a drink for just over a year. My reasons are personal to me, but quite simply, I just had enough. I had enough money and wasted hours spent Boozing, I felt like I was drinking my life away - drinking, wake up, do s ** t repeat week after week. Hi last year, I have it, bad days, national holidays, my birthday is celebrated, attended weddings, he celebrated Christmas / New Year - without the need for alcohol at all. If I said a year ago, I did not really think it was possible.
I'm sober spiritual path, emotional and mental - where we do not learn to depend on a substance to overcome the mind changed you help the bad times and help you celebrate the good. It is worth it? In short, my answer is yes. It is possible to do this? yes Here is my answer. It takes determination and support of family, friends or other if necessary as self-help groups such as the recovery of AA, but it is achievable if there is something you are considering.
For all, a break in sobriety or alcohol, plan for some reason, there are many benefits to this decision. Here are some of my 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 has last night? What do I say? Fear resaca - this hellish place where things are a little fuzzy and you just want to curl up in a ball only and disclaims any liability for you intoxicated. I do not miss.
Look and feel healthier
I wish I had a pound for every person who told me last year: "You're really good," Seriously, for a while to stop drinking and see the compliments role. Now I feel physically and mentally healthy, I do not drink.
spiritual, mental and emotional growth
Sobriety changed me and I will change forever as a man in a kind of positive and informative way. I began to see things differently, handle things and understand people different. I am more 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 prompted me to remove the most toxic habits, including people, situations and things.
Life feels positive
stop drinking made me positive energy and productive. It is a liberating experience. I have great appreciation for the little things this year and maintain the important things in my life such as family and friends. Life feels more positive as a direct result.
Life feels easier to handle
My stress level and anxiety levels decreased dramatically - Alcohol is a depressant, after all. My sanity through the automatic removal begins to improve. mean a combination of all these factors mentioned above, that life is more has become manageable, enjoyable and relatively stress-free. Life has its ups and downs, do not get me wrong, but it just feels easier without alcohol as part of it.
Anyone who wants a short-term, long-term or final break of alcohol - I share my experience to note that it is possible and feasible. It's a year I can not imagine my life without alcohol; a year later, I can not imagine my life with it honestly.
