I thought I would write myself a list of all the things I would gain if I stopped drinking and thought I would share it with you. If anyone has things to add to this - then please do. It's amazing when I look at it - it's a no brainer really!! why would anyone drink when they have so much to gain????!! Why on earth do I do it. Anyway - here goes:
If I didn?t drink:
? I would lose lots of weight without having to try
? I would look better ? with healthier skin and hair
? I would save a huge amount of money (which I could spend on a fabulous holiday)
? I wouldn?t feel tired all the time ? but full of energy
? I wouldn?t feel panicky and depressed the day after a binge ? but in control and on top of things
? I wouldn't spend hours worrying about my health and what I am doing to my body
? I wouldn?t dread people phoning or turning up unexpectedly in the evening and finding me drunk
? I wouldn?t have massive guilt trips for the things I have said and done when I?m drunk
? I would gain a massive amount of self-respect ? I am a great person if only I can rid myself of this horrible addiction
? My loved ones would respect me again
? I wouldn?t spend numerous sleepless nights (as I do now) worrying that my loved ones will give up on me and leave
? I wouldn?t have to worry about potentially being ?over the limit? when driving to work the day after a big binge
Today I am back on day one - but looking at my list everyday may give me the incentive to have another AF day.
All the best
