An increasing number of people drink alcoholic beverages very often. Drinking alcohol provokes the development of physical and mental dependence, which influences a person's worldview.
The drinker does not agree with the appearance of addiction and gradually all his desires rush to taking another glass of vodka on his chest.
Experts in the field of narcology propose to conduct an experiment and exclude alcoholic beverages from the diet for 30 days.
Very often, after a month of sobriety, dependence weakens and there is an opportunity, and most importantly, a desire to completely abandon alcohol. After 30 days without alcohol, life will shine with new colors and there are a million reasons to continue to lead a sober lifestyle.
A month without alcohol will allow you to start a new life.
First week
The first days, if you do not drink alcoholic beverages, are usually cheerful. Motivation persists, and belief in success allows you not to think about drinking. However, this state of cheerfulness will be replaced after a few days by an acute desire to drink a glass of wine after a hard day at work.
Gradually, the inability to drink alcohol is perceived as a deprivation. The patient may choose to drink sweets or smoke cigarettes as a substitute for strong drinks. After the first week of a sober life, the patient's weight may increase by 4 kg.
Second week
On the 6-8th day of refusal to use alcohol-containing drinks, the aggravation increases. In my head, all thoughts are directed to the desire to complete the experiment as soon as possible in order to take a sip of your favorite wine / whiskey / beer. Towards the end of the second week, withdrawal symptoms decrease, and the person begins to take an active part in life.
New hobbies appear that completely take away the attention and alcohol begins to fade into the background. Young people can start going to the gym, nightclubs and enjoy a healthy lifestyle. For some time, there may still be a desire to drink alcohol. As a rule, an active life in the second week relieves a person of the kg gained in the previous week.
Third week
What happens if you don't drink for 21 days? In the third week, the realization comes that life is beautiful even without a dose of alcohol. How many interesting and pleasant things in the world. The search for new hobbies continues. It is very important during this period to make sports activities systematic. It is advisable to study in a group with other people. Mutual euphoria energizes a person and remains in the memory for a long time. You can do whatever you want.
Activities such as:
- fitness;
- callanetics;
- dancing;
- volleyball;
- basketball;
- bowling;
- tennis.
The listed sports give a burst of energy and self-confidence. The euphoria is literally breathtaking. The substitution of alcohol for sweets or cigarettes ceases. Now every day thoughts swarm around a new workout. The body becomes slimmer from exercise, and the mood improves.
Fourth week
There comes a period when in the company a person can safely refuse the offered glass of wine. At the same time, the feeling of inferiority does not occur and the mood does not deteriorate because he did not drink alcoholic beverages. Instead of sitting at a table, a person actively spends time on the dance floor, takes photos and communicates with friends. The aromas of alcohol are becoming disgusting. Activity after a month of sobriety goes off scale, since alcoholic drinks take energy, provoke inhibition of the reaction and make it difficult to wake up in the morning.
Results of the month without alcohol
Thirty days without alcohol contributes to the restoration of the body, getting rid of toxins and the resumption of normal functioning of organs. The recovery process must be accompanied by:
- more rare occurrence of headache;
- the emergence of clarity of thinking, the ability to soberly assess the situation and perform responsible actions;
- normalization of the heart and vascular system;
- the disappearance of tachycardia;
- stabilization of intimate life.
It is worth remembering that complete improvement and recovery is possible only with a complete rejection of alcohol for 30 days.
In the case when a former alcoholic does not drink for a month, there is a chance to prolong remission and overcome the addiction. He agrees to a healthy lifestyle, and the motto: "I drink, drank and will drink" is no longer for him.
