1. Health Condition Improvement
Actually this could probably not be the first thing you'll notice after quitting drinking, but it will bring you a lot of changes in your body. You'll start to look visually better, the color of skin will not be red-bluish anymore, your heart will have a brand new experience, and your hands will not be shaky anymore, not to mention the disappearance of all the health risks associated with drinking.
2. Saved Money
How much money do you usually spend for the ethanol poison, let's say, per month? It could be a few hundred bucks, but it could reach 4 or even 5 digit number per month, depending on your drinking and partying habits. When I was a heavy drinker, I spent around thousand dollars per month to buy alcohol - and that was the biggest part of my income at that moment... I couldn't afford new clothes, healthy and tasty food, any other activities except drinking, not to mention a car. Since my last drink things have changed a lot - four times bigger income and a 5th series BMW in my garage.
3. Special Status in Society
Most people who try to quit drinking worry about what their drinking friends, women in the clubs and other parts of society will think about them. Well, the truth is that these people in most cases will show their respect to your changed habits - it will not probably happen in the next day, week or month after quitting, but if people will see you sober, happy and successfull already for a quite long time, they will start paying attention to the ongoing and actually follow your example. People like to hate, and you will probably face difficulties to prove your drinking friends that you actually don't do that anymore, but, trust me - it's worth it.
If you have ever been a moderate to heavy drinker, you most likely know how does your usual friday night impair your performance even in the next to days. And that's not all - just think about the time you spend in a party doing nothing useful, only holding your cup and probably a cigarette. You could better be making money or building social relationships in a different way during this time, not getting drunk and foolish with your friends. So, if you quit your drinking habit completely, you could use your friday and saturday nights to think up a business idea, spend more time with your family and do other things which you probably have not done for a long time because of drinking.
When you are in the process of quitting drinking, you'll probably lost some "friends". "Friends" in quotes, because at this moment you'll start to understand, that not all of the people who you are partying with, are your true friends - in most cases, most of them actually are more like your drinking partners. What's undeniable, after your last binge and on your way to an alcohol-free life, you'll start to think differently about your family and relatives. You will also realize, who are your true friends - those people will support you on your major decision and try to help you as much as possible, not invite you to another house party on next friday. Also, your parents, children and other relatives will start to respect you more, because after a long time being in a mental desert you'll start to appreciate the world you're actually living in.
4. More Time to Do Things
If you have ever been a moderate to heavy drinker, you most likely know how does your usual friday night impair your performance even in the next to days. And that's not all - just think about the time you spend in a party doing nothing useful, only holding your cup and probably a cigarette. You could better be making money or building social relationships in a different way during this time, not getting drunk and foolish with your friends. So, if you quit your drinking habit completely, you could use your friday and saturday nights to think up a business idea, spend more time with your family and do other things which you probably have not done for a long time because of drinking.
5. Better Relations With Relatives and Closest Friends
When you are in the process of quitting drinking, you'll probably lost some "friends". "Friends" in quotes, because at this moment you'll start to understand, that not all of the people who you are partying with, are your true friends - in most cases, most of them actually are more like your drinking partners. What's undeniable, after your last binge and on your way to an alcohol-free life, you'll start to think differently about your family and relatives. You will also realize, who are your true friends - those people will support you on your major decision and try to help you as much as possible, not invite you to another house party on next friday.
