Quitting Alcohol Successfully - Keep A Journal

Best time to quit

When you start to try to quit alcohol you will want to keep a journal. In your journal you can record those things that trigger you like I outlined above.
Recording triggers is one way of learning how to avoid them and to reduce their influence over you.
You can also use your journal to record how you are feeling health wise with quitting alcohol and all your successes.

You can then use the journal to look back over how you did, learn from your mistakes and celebrate making your goals.

Quitting Alcohol Successfully - Avoid Trigger Situations

Quitting alcohol is not so hard

If you want to quit alcohol successfully you are going to have to avoid situations that make it easier to drink - this could mean avoiding going to bars, hanging out with certain friends and staying away from certain social settings.

This doesn't mean you have to stop having fun - merely that you have to work on temporarily staying away from your triggers until you have replaced them with more healthy alternatives like running or hiking for instance.

 Once you figure out those triggers you can start trying to add some of those things back into your life a little at a time.

A Ninety-Day No Alcohol Plan Isn’t So Long

Are you afraid of what might happen to you while on a ninety-day no alcohol plan? The fact is that you can get off of alcohol for a few months if you put your mind on the process. The fact is that you will be less likely to suffer from serious problems relating to alcohol if you are careful with who you are.

The fact is that you can always use a calendar to see how you are doing with your alcohol consumption. This includes seeing how your body is responding to your life and even by using milestones to see how you are feeling better. This might include more energy or even some weight loss.

And you can always think about a ninety-day no alcohol plan for one thing. It’s probably going to last longer than some “celebrity” marriages when you think about it. This should be enough motivation for you because you can at least admit you were more successful in this important part of your life than certain people in the spotlight who get married and are rather unsuccessful at doing so for a good period of time.

Consider Your Schoolwork When Getting Sober

Have you thought about your school performance while you are trying to get sober? It’s a fact that many people who do develop dependencies on alcohol are in their college years. It could sound like something you’d see out of one of those old movies about college life but it is a real issue that has to be understood.

You have to think about your schoolwork because people who are sober are more likely to have better grades and to be able to concentrate on their work more than those who are drunk. In addition, you may be more motivated to perform well in classes if you are sober than if you were drunk. This is a very important consideration that has to be used so you can keep your body as comfortable as possible no matter what you want to do with it.

Of course, there is also the reputation that you have of being a partier. You surely don’t want to have the body of one of those people who you see partying in those movies about college, do you? Then you need to think twice about what you are trying to do with your life with regards to school.
