How to Stop Drinking Alcohol
“I only drink on weekends,” you’ve heard yourself say one too many times. Then you recall the past two occasions when you met friends for “a” drink, and ended up having ten. If drinking has become an unhealthy habit, causing you to resemble Mike Tyson after his ear-chewing moment, rather than a giggly drunk just passing time with her friends, then it’s time to cut yourself off. Here’s how:
1. Drink water and juice instead of booze when you go out. Everybody wants to fit in socially, and drinking is a big part of that scene. You can still “drink” with your friends. Offer to be the designated driver, or tell them you need to get up really early. Lie if you have to, but drink something besides an alcoholic beverage when you go out.
2. Alcohol consumption inhibits your absorption of B-vitamins. These vitamins are responsible for just about every function in your body, but also combat anxiety and depression. Ironically, the more you drink, the more you’ll likely feel like drinking to ease your anxiousness because you’ve depleted this vital nutrient. Take a B-vitamin supplement and it will be easier to refuse the booze.
3. Change your friends. If all your friends ever want to do in their free time is drink, then suggest doing something different. Go to a play, comedy show, concert, or suggest doing something really crazy like going for a hike or volunteering at a local food shelter. If your friends don’t want to “play” in this healthier way, it might be time to find some new ones.
4. Use the power of your subconscious mind. Meditation, hypnotherapy and other mindfulness techniques can reprogram your mind so that you no longer want to drink. Only about 10 percent of what we do is consciously decided. If you can access the subconscious mind, which accounts for the other 90 percent of your thoughts and actions, you’re much more likely to make better choices – including giving up alcohol.
5. Mitigate side effects of a detoxing liver when you quit drinking. No one wants to feel like crap when they are trying to make positive change in their lives, but if you’ve been drinking for some time, stopping can cause detox symptoms as your liver, gallbladder, kidneys and other organs get rid of alcohol’s toxic byproducts. You can help lessen these symptoms by drinking plenty of water, taking bentonite clay, soaking in Epson salt baths, and eating lots of detoxifying foods like cruciferous vegetables, celery, garlic, onions, and cherry juice.
