In the build-up to the launch of my book “WALKING BACK TO HAPPINESS - THE SECRET TO ALCOHOL-FREE LIVING & WELL-BEING”, to be published in June 2022, I will be sharing transcripts offering insights into the life changing experiences I encountered on my first year of going alcohol-free.
Drinking alcohol was one of the worst trades I ever did and I used to do it almost every day.
It’s only the first sip of the first drink that gives you the ‘best’ whoosh feeling. And if you are honest with yourself, it only lasts 10-20 seconds. I began to see alcohol as a trade. Every time I drank it, I was trading away my life.
Take the weekend as an example. EVERY Friday night, I effectively traded my weekend for the initial 20-second whoosh that the first of a few drinks gave me.
Now, well into my second year alcohol-free, I have had over 75 hangover-free Saturday mornings and I completely appreciate the weekends. The days are now long gone when I would get up after 9am with a hangover, eat fried and junk food most of Saturday to feel better, and would almost definitely have another drink to feel 'normal' again.
I now look at alcohol as just a bad trade that I used to do.
I have replaced this with probably the best trade I have ever done - trading not drinking for great weekends and a hangover free life…
