We
all are blatant wine lovers and new cocktails judgers. But one
beautiful morning we wake up and realize ‘The day has finally come’. You
need an alcohol break. Sure thing you aren’t a hardened barfly, but
this experiment is worth trying. You choose two nights that you
designate as “buzz-free” Friday nights and you will become the center of
attention as the most alcohol-free lady for the next two weeks. Before
starting your ‘Dry’ period take a note of these 10 absolutely amazing
benefits that you realize taking on a sober lifestyle.
You will:
It’s
probably the #1 bonus of alcohol detox. Just imagine you’ll forget
about the hangover not for a couple of days but for a pretty long
period. Being a temporary ‘one glass’ drinker we don’t realize that
every morning starts with a small hangover even if we don’t feel it
(because we know what the heavy one means). Skipping your alcohol
craving you will open up your body and mental abilities in ways you
never imagined. I swear you’ll be surprised how much you have missed.
I
know how much you want to say goodbye to the nightmares which come to
you every single night. You also dream of ridding yourself of all those
haunting thoughts that always appear after your evening glass of Merlot.
Firstly replacing the alcohol drink with a cup of camomile tea will
work wonders and will bring your thinking processes to a new level of
clarity. If you pull yourself together and don’t give up before the 2
weeks are up, soon you’ll see the results. Your mind will get used to
working without any kind of stimulation from alcohol. Your sober brain
will just reject all those nightmarish thoughts and let you sleep
calmly.
The
first thing you’ll notice are the bags under your eyes simply disappear
during the first week or even less. Going alcohol-free will help your
skin to recover from the dehydration that goes hand-in-hand with alcohol
consumption. Your skin will become healthy in color (no splotchy look
anymore) and its texture will straighten. The number of black heads will
begin to disappear without the help of expensive cosmetologists and
moisturizers. Your body will absorb more vitamin A increasing the cell
turnover. It will make your skin bright and fresh without additional
beauty treatments. P.S. The money savings from the numerous facial
treats will be enough to buy a new pair of shoes.
- Feel your tastebuds flare up
You’ll
be surprised by the dramatic improvement of your tastebuds. The simple
snacks you couldn’t stand just several days before, becomes much
tastier. You won’t fight with the fast food desires because you’ll be
happy with ordinary foods like fruits,vegetables and fish. You can’t
even imagine how full and lovely the food tastes can be when the toxins
aren’t interfering with the taste of food. Alcohol changes how our taste
buds perceive food flavors. Rediscover food you really do like, but
thought you didn’t!
Alcohol
contributes to weight gain. It reduces the metabolic rate of your body.
With alcohol ever-present, your body is very busy. The body doesn’t get
around to properly breaking down and using the fats and sugars and
consequently these unburned and unused materials turn into your “muffin
tops” a.k.a. FAT. Let’s call it what it is: FAT! Moreover alcohol drinks
contain as much calories as a piece of your favorite brownie dessert.
Observing alcohol abstinence you will go for a morning jog more often
and it will be much easier for you as well.
Your
emotions will move from the doldrums. You will finally get the chance
to exit the vicious circle of your old endless dramas. You’ll become
less aggressive and not so detached as you were with alcohol. You will
jumping out of the bed and being ready to face the new day and new
opportunities. You will discover the new norm of a stable, less
conflicted emotional state.Moreover get ready for the numerous
compliments. Your homies, coworkers and strangers will start to tell you
how classy you look. What can boost your mood better than knowing
you’re the ‘sweetest, cutest, most adorable girl on the planet?!
On
the third day of your alcohol skipping experiment, you will have a
renewed energy and vitality. It will feel like your inner resources have
been given a second chance. You won’t have to struggle overcoming the
ravages of what you did to yourself the night before. You’ll be full of
enthusiasm etc. You’ll be full of enthusiasm to start new projects, to
meet new people, to plan new trips instead of just dreaming about the
end of het working day.
That
accustomed ‘foggy’ feeling will slowly but surely go away.Your brain
will heal you find yourself lucid and full of new ideas.new ideas. The
level of your creativity will have no boundaries. You will be able to
accomplish tasks much more quickly and efficiently. Greater lucidity
leads to a quicker tongue – even your jokes improve! The alcohol-free
period will help you to improve your memory and even allows you to
recognize some useful details and skills from the past. You’ll manage to
accomplish all your endless deadlines and daily tasks. Sounds good,
doesn’t it?
- Get rid of endless petty diseases
Alcohol
reduces your immunity to a host of common diseases. Alcohol robs your
body of the necessary nutrients by preventing vitamin absorption. It can
be the reason of your frequent visits to your dentist and therapist as
well. Your old ‘Wednesday Margarita’ head and stomach ache will be a
thing of the past.
Your intimate life will surprisingly change for the better as well.
Alcohol enhances your libido, but it reduces your ability to act. Thanks
to the clear mind and receptors you’ll become more sensual. Every
aspect of your love life will become deeper and stronger. You’ll be
ready to bring your fantasies to life, to experience something you have
only been dreaming about and to try something new. You’ll just be in a
good mood for it. EVERYDAY. With no alcohol in your blood you will be
more passionate than ever before.
You may find that the two weeks away from alcohol turns into two
months and two years and two decades. If you are a drinker who has two
or three drinks every day, you may be overloading your system and
causing undue stress both mental and physical. Talk to a doctor about it
if you want. Drinking is a pleasurable pursuit but if it’s a habit, you
may want to stop drinking for a while or for a while longer.
