Imbibing in the occasional beer or cocktail is great!
But before cracking open a cold brew or popping that cork, ask the fundamental question: Is this drink worth drinking?
Is it truly a moment worth celebrating or a special concoction worth consuming, or is this just a mindless drink.
All too often, consuming alcohol is simply ritual or habitual.
Work day is done - Miller Time!
Friday night - break out the Chardonnay!
Sunday Funday - Bloody Mary’s all around!
Seemingly, most moments in life get rationalized as a reason for breaking out the booze.
The scary question to ask, Is someone able to stop drinking, or are they dependent on alcohol for a variety of reasons?
Not sure?
Try going dry for 30 days.
See how it goes.
Can’t do it?
Consider talking with someone about it.
Abstaining from alcohol is one of the quickest and easiest ways to instantly improve health.
Being alcohol-free will lead to better sleep, a clear mind, and an active body.
Commit to being alcohol-free for the next month.
Use it as an opportunity to reset and to notice how the body feels after having an opportunity to restore.
Rediscover what it means to feel well, then renter the world of libations in a more mindful and measured manner.
Do not succumb to peer pressure and feel the need to drink at every gathering.
Seriously, is a six pack really necessary to make it through a Tuesday night t-ball game?
Yes, alcohol is amazing.
