Quit drinking alcohol is so difficult as it is to find reasons to stop it. Most people tend to drink alcohol to forget a situation or feel better about themselves. Having their emotions controlling them they become addicted to it and lose control of their life. I'd stop drinking to gain control of my life and drive it to success.

Sober life is the most pure, truthful life you can live. Being honest with yourself, taking care of yourself. Loving those around you. Recognizing your worth enough to realize you deserve more than what you have given yourself. When I stopped drinking, my life flourished. I got a full time job, in a house I rent, with a car I co-sign. I’m engaged to be married within the year. Life is so much more beautiful now that my eyes are no longer clouded by alcohol and drugs. I’m no longer hurting myself or the people around me. I’ve realized how beautiful life is, and I’ve realized you don’t need to be under the influence to have fun!

alcohol consumption is a really and habit. what happens when someone drinks is , when you drink alcohol for the first time your nervous system detects it as some sort of a danger and what is first does is give a signal to the digestive system and the digestive system tries to remove the harmful substance by vomiting and if vomiting didn't work to recover the nerves which are tired the nervous system signals the brain that you need some sleep ,that's why drunk people tend to vomit and sleep. Drinking directly affects the nervous system and long term alcohol consumption can lead to numerous dieseeases either mental or physical. due to long term alcohol consumption the brain cells get damaged and memory issues can occur, that's why these people tend to recall their past but can't remember things which happened in the present That's because they loose their present memory and the past memories are all they left with. lot of internal organs gets damaged due to alcohol consumption and many health related issues can occur.their social lives also can be affected due to this bad habit. No matter how many other good qualities or habits you've people or the society tend to always look for the errors and the social life even gets greatly affected. Hope you stop drinking dear , because what I believe is people who drink are losers.

As individuals we each have different reasons why we want to stop or why we think it is a good idea to carry on doing the things we like or enjoy. There is no one reason why anyone should stop drinking and it all depends on the person in question which in this case is you. You might want to ask yourself what the pros and cons are of drinking or the pros and cons of not drinking are. It is always up to what you think is best and what you think is right for yourself moving forward.

I personally think that moderate drinking is fine for now and then, even though I only drink 3 to 4 times a year because I'm aiming for physical goals. Let me tell you why you should not drink excessively instead. Okay, let me tell you something that you already know. Alcohol slows down your fat-burning rate in your body even to the point it stops completely. Because although we recognize the alcohol as the "fun-party-drink" our body sees alcohol as a mere poison. When you drink, the body will move their focus on removing this poison out of your body, that is why all other department that needs a lot of energy to work properly like the brain will have a temporary drop on its performance resulting in immoral behaviors and thought patterns in your end. Because the body is working hard to remove this poison, even during your sleep where the body suppose to repair your body (Muscles, organs, hormone chemicals to strengthen your immune system) They don't have the time to do so because they are making this poison removal a priority. Resulting you on this so called "Hangover" where you feel like you didn't get enough sleep even when you slept for 10 hours, because technically you didn't sleep that much. And as you may already know, when you are sleep-deprived it affects the whole day. Your moods will jump all over the place, your stress hormone spikes up, resulting in weight gain, weak immune system, high blood pressure and so on. Yes it affects how you interact with people, therefore your relationships Yes, it will affect your productivity and work performance. Yes, it will affect and change everything in your life.

Alcohol gets broken down in your liver, funnily enough, with heavy consumption, your liver becomes overworked which can result in numerous health complications. By simply giving up the alcohol it provides one less thing your body needs to worry about to keep you feeling healthy and fresh. Alcohol is linked to seven different types of cancer including breast cancer and mouth cancer. Cutting alcohol out lowers your risk of getting cancer. Giving up drinking will have a big impact on your liver and should reduce the chances of developing liver disease. As the calories in alcohol can cause you to gain weight, giving up alcohol can also help you to reduce your blood pressure as a result of the weight you can potentially lose. By this point, if you'd previously been drinking six 175ml glasses of wine a week, you would have lost 2880 calories over three weeks.

Drinking has an effect an all aspects of our life, whether we notice or not. From my experience, becoming sober caused me to gain better control of my life and my emotions. I have not had a blackout, hangover, or used alcohol as an excuse for anything since I quit. I own my actions and my decisions. I have clarity around what I want in life, friendships, etc. And I'm better at speaking up now too. No more drowning in alcohol to cope with stuff, using healthy alternatives like actually processing emotions and "why" you need alcohol after a hard day's work or when someone upsets you, and always getting a good night's sleep. Everyone is different but I would highly recommend giving up alcohol if possible.

One way to consider this answer is to look at what are the goals and values you have in your life. Then, consider as objectively as possible, how drinking has impacted your goals or values. For example, if you value meaningful close and honest relationships, consider how the drinking may or may not have impacted your relationship with others. It may also be helpful to consider if the drinking is used as tool to distance or distract from emotions that are painful, in which case you may want to consider whether addressing and welcoming those emotions may also help you either achieve your goals or preserve and nourish your values. Often, if you can be in a place where your behavior, are aligned with your goals and values in a meaningful way, you might reach the answer on your own.

Drinking is not necessarily a bad thing. If it is interfering with the good things in your life perhaps that is a signal that something needs to be changed, which could include why you are drinking or how much you are drinking. For instance, if your health is suffering that is a good reason to stop drinking. If it is interfering with your personal relationship that also may be another reason why you could stop drinking. There are plenty reasons to stop drinking and each individual has their own reasons. Only you can tell what your reason to stop drinking may be.
