If you’re looking for a strong ally in your fight against drinking, you might want to take a closer look at your daily eating habits. Does food become secondary to you, especially as the time to start drinking approaches?

Wouldn’t it be great if there was a magic wand we could wave to make problems like alcoholism go away? So much heartache and misery would simply disappear overnight, and so many minds and bodies could finally begin to heal. Millions and millions of people would finally begin to FEEL alive and happy again, now that alcohol was no longer dulling their senses, or wreaking havoc in every area of their lives.
I took a nice, long walk today since the sun decided to finally make an appearance after several weeks, and it struck me that even the little things in my life are more enjoyable since I stopped drinking alcohol. It simply was invigorating to feel the sun upon my skin, and I noticed that I felt stronger and healthier than I have in years.
One of the better reasons to quit drinking alcohol is how remarkably refreshed you will feel the morning after not drinking. You immediately begin to think more clearly and deeply, and your body feels invigorated with natural energy.You simply FEEL better and LOOK better in the morning when you haven’t drank alcohol the night before.
If one phrase ever accurately described the daily life of someone who addicted to alcohol, it would have to be “ball and chain.”
Starting from the moment the alcoholic wakes up, their drinking problem weighs them down – and they struggle all day to work effectively, be at their best, or simply ignore a hangover.
The other day I was thinking of Jimmy Buffett’s iconic Wasting Away Again in Margaritaville, and it made me ponder the many ways that alcohol abuse can lead us to waste so much of our lives. Some areas are more striking than others, of course, but it’s truly amazing at how much damage alcohol can cause. Let’s take just a brief look at some of the waste and destruction caused by alcoholism:
What would you say if I told you there was a common, everyday item in your home that can help you cut back drinking? Or, at the very least, that it could help you drastically cut back on your alcohol intake?
Furthermore, that you ALREADY use this item several times a day, but have yet to put it to its best use?
Do your days begin and end with your wishing you could stop drinking? Does the whole idea of “getting sober” simply seem too hard to accomplish? If so, it’s important to remind yourself that YOUR road to sobriety is not necessarily the same as that of anyone else. And, in fact, it might be easier than you thought.
