Today marks the 80th days since I gave up drinking. Yes, only 80 days, but boy do I feel good about it. Here I try to give a quick run down of the benefits that I have reaped in the 80 days.
- A fitter lifestyle meant a smaller waist-line.
- A healthy looking skin.
- Better sleep. On the contrary to common belief about having a drink before your sleep…I sleep a lot better these days since I gave up drinking.
- I think and work better during the day and even nights which means high productivity.
- Being able to hold a deeper and better conversations during dinners with friends and colleagues.
- Better decision making and control of emotions. I attribute that to a clearer head.
- With increased productivity, you feel yourself being able to do more and thus more things that matters – like writing this blog.
- Your craving for substitutes, in my case – cakes. The sweet stuff.
So far, these are some of the benefits I have reaped over the past 80 days. I am sure I would have more to share in the days that follows. As the picture suggests, “Make today the first day of the rest of your Life”… Make a choice, lead a sober life today.
