Six benefits of taking a break from booze
- You will lose weight - when you hear "booze is empty calories" it is absolutely true. There is no protein in wine :-)
- You will sleep better - alcohol disrupts our sleep - when we drink alcohol, our body needs to metabolize it, and that takes time. Going off to sleep, waking up, waking up hungover.....all wreak havoc on your sleep pattern
- You will Improve skin - yes, you will glow.
- You will reestablish your relationship with alcohol - if you are a drinking (like two-thirds of the population) you will move from needing a glass of wine to wanting one, on your terms.
- You will save money - true story
- You will appreciate the little things more.
And a little about me.....
Before I quit drinking for good and started to create a Healthy Six Life - which, to be clear, is not the panacea of hope and shimmering sunshine, but a set of pillars that ground us in sustained good health - my ex and I would quit drinking for months at a time, only to boomerang back on the wine wagon again after 2-4-6-8- weeks.
It was exhausting.
I planned the nights I drank and the ones I didn't; when I was having a "girls night" I went for it, and boy did I suffer after. We didn't know as much as we do now about alcohol.
But I don't want you to demonize booze. Or sugar. Or gluten. Or anything in your life that you love but that you are taking a break from.
What I want us all to do is reimagine what's possible for us in creating and recreating a healthy life. That's it.
