It’s Wellness Wednesday again! ‘Let me have a few drinks before heading home’. Rings a bell? How many times have you said this to yourself and ended up finishing an entire bottle of your favourite poison? Happens every day doesn’t it? No matter how hard you try, you cannot stay away from that glass of concoction even for one day. You may not realize, but you are addicted to alcohol and are on your way to abusing it. You must know there are certain health hazards that may come your way if you end up overdoing it.
On Wellness Wednesday, we tell you why you need to understand that alcohol ‘takes’ much more than it ‘gives’. Life is so much better without that bottle hiding in a closet somewhere, waiting to be taken out and finished in one go. When you are sober, you are more confident, happy, and in control of your own destiny.
Once you become a non-drinker your chances of developing an array of alcohol-related illnesses, from cancers to liver diseases, significantly reduce. Not only this, drinking too much alcohol results in sunken eyes, puffiness in the face, premature aging of the skin, along with a dull complexion. Once you quit alcohol, you will notice brighter eyes and a healthier looking skin.
Drinking too much of alcohol results in lesser productivity at work. You tend to become more aggressive and concentrate less on your job. There can be several reasons for drinking too much alcohol. It may be due to a financial crisis or probably because you are not being appraised for your work. But, you must know that once you quit drinking, things will eventually fall into place.
If you follow a boozy lifestyle, your evenings usually turn out to be non-productive. You regularly crack open a bottle of alcohol every evening and after a few glasses, you lose hours every week. The book you wanted to read is sitting inside the bookshelf, unread. The time you wanted to spend with your loved ones is spent in getting rid of the hangover.
People who drink every night tend to be less patient than the ones who don’t. You must remember that ‘patience is the key to success’. It’s time to lock down your bar cabinet and switch to healthier options. Also, when you develop a habit of regularly getting sloshed, you tend to lose your real self. By quitting alcohol, you have a much better chance at self-realization. You can get a high from different things like sports, shopping, good food, music and more.
The feeling of being sober and waking up every day without a hangover is priceless. Say cheers to a life where mornings are filled with no regrets, the negative cycle of drinking in excess, and a lifestyle that does not revolve around booze. Start your alcohol-free journey today!
