I have abstained from
drinking before, but I'm increasingly feeling like I want to make the
abstinence permanent. I'm looking forward to spending more time with my
family, getting fit, working on my studies and putting more effort into
my personal business endeavours.
I have tended to spend rather a lot of time in bars, therefore these four things have become somewhat neglected, which is not really acceptable.It has only been five days since I had a drink, but I am already noticing a difference in my body: my skin is looking lighter, I feel much brighter in the morning and I have more energy. If I can notice this after five days, I hope that I will notice a lot more in the coming months, particularly as I exercise more and watch my diet.
I was considering continuing to drink red wine as it is supposed to be good for you but, from what I can gather, it seems that red grape juice is just as good for you in that department (and will remove the temptation to get wasted!).I think it will be nice to be the kind of person who can say 'I don't drink or smoke.' I'll get cheaper life insurance, too…
