Instead of Drinking  🥃  This Weekend Do These 5 Things...

October 19, 20234 min read

Have you ever found yourself reaching for that next drink, even when you promised yourself you wouldn't?

Or waking up with regret and the stinging headache of another hangover?

Drinking has long been a popular escape, a way to numb the pain or enhance moments of celebration. But when it becomes more than just an occasional indulgence, it's crucial to reassess.

Listen up, because I've got a game-changing message for you.

I've been in the same boat, drowning my sorrows and numbing my pain.

But now, I'm here to tell you there's a WAY OUT. A way to take back control, to reclaim your power, and to be the best damn version of yourself!

This weekend, instead of drowning in alcohol, dive into these 5 LIFE-CHANGING activities!

It's not a disease, it's a choice

1. Hit the Gym:

The Power of Physical Activity 🏋️‍♂️

Physical exercise isn't just about building muscles or chasing fitness goals. It's about mental rejuvenation, too. A session at the gym can often replicate the feel-good sensation that some seek in alcohol. The 'Runner's High', that flood of endorphins, can truly be a game-changer. Instead of a groggy, hungover morning, imagine waking up with a sense of accomplishment and a surge of energy. The benefits of physical activity extend beyond just that session: improved sleep, better mood, increased mental clarity, and reduced anxiety and depression. So next time you feel the pull of the bottle, consider redirecting that urge towards a set of squats or a brisk run.


2. Nature Walks:

Reconnecting with Mother Earth 🌲

The hustle and bustle of daily life can sometimes disconnect us from the healing power of nature. Taking a walk amidst nature can be profoundly therapeutic. The chirping of birds, the rustling of leaves, and the gentle flow of a stream can offer a serenity that no alcoholic drink can match. Nature has a subtle way of reminding us of life's simple pleasures. Plus, spending time outdoors, away from screens, is a welcome detox for the mind. Reflect on life, introspect, or simply be in the moment. The tranquility can provide clarity, and you might just find answers to questions that alcohol blurred.


3. Skill-Up:

Investing in Personal Growth 🎸

Hours spent at a bar often translate into wasted potential. What if, instead, you spent that time learning something new? Always fancied playing the guitar? Dive into it. Dreamt of whipping up a gourmet meal? Start now. Every new skill you acquire not only adds a feather to your cap but also builds self-esteem and confidence. It redirects focus, providing a sense of purpose. Over time, as you get engrossed in honing this skill, you might find that the urge to drink diminishes, replaced by the thrill of achievement.


4. Connect with Loved Ones:

Building Genuine Relationships 🤗

Alcohol can often erect invisible walls, distancing us from the very people who matter most. Reconnecting without the haze of alcohol can lead to genuine, heartfelt conversations. Rediscover the joy of board games, share childhood stories, or simply engage in wholesome laughter. Engaging with loved ones can also offer a support system, a gentle reminder that you're not alone in this journey. Remember, the fleeting high of alcohol will fade, but memories created with loved ones last a lifetime.


5. Journal & Reflect:

A Journey Inwards 📖

Often, the urge to drink stems from suppressed emotions or unresolved issues. Journaling offers a safe space to vent, to introspect, and to confront these feelings head-on. By putting thoughts on paper, you create a tangible record, making it easier to identify patterns and triggers. Over time, this introspection might help you understand the underlying reasons for your drinking habits. Additionally, maintaining a journal can serve as a progress tracker, motivating you to stay on course.
