Six benefits of taking a break from booze


  1. You will lose weight - when you hear "booze is empty calories" it is absolutely true. There is no protein in wine :-)
  2. 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
  3. You will Improve skin - yes, you will glow.
  4. 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.
  5. You will save money - true story
  6. 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.
