Learn to Say No To Alcohol


Do you want to become completely sober and get away from the addiction to alcohol? For someone who has never touched a drop, it would seem very easy to say that “they can just quit at will” or “it is a matter of choice”. But for those affected by alcoholism (that is severe addiction), drinking equals being alive. Also, friends of the latter may consider it shocking or even weird that the person whom they knew to drink a lot, now hates it. Peer pressure is one of the primary reasons why it’s very challenging for those in recovery, or even those trying to curtail their alcohol use, to engage in social situations.

 I know this because I too had undergone the same “journey through hell” in my younger days. It had badly affected my health, my moods and even social life. I valued alcohol more than even the safety of my family! Today, I have overcome the addiction and learned how to say “no”! I also am a best-selling author on the same topic. You may catch my book “Alcoholism to Soberism” on Amazon. And, I can help you say no.

 Whether you’ve decided to be a non-drinker, have recognized early warning signs of alcohol misuse, or identified a full-blown alcohol addiction, it’s okay to say “no.” Because of the myriad challenges you might face, below is a list of tips on how to graciously say no without shining a spotlight on yourself and the soda you’re carrying.

  •          Have non-alcoholic drinks always in hand if you're quitting
  • ·         Keep track of every drink if you're cutting back so you stay within your limits
  • ·         Ask for support from others to cope with temptation
  • ·         Plan an escape if the temptation gets too great
  • ·         Ask others to refrain from pressuring you or drinking in your presence (this can be hard)

 There are many more ways and I assure you that they will be effective. I am actually giving back to the society and helping others like me fight this menace effectively and with ease. I hold direct as well as online sessions for a proven-therapy method. I have become a successful de-addiction coach. You may also be interested to view my video on the same. It is in Hindi.

This can be a challenging and complex process. However, measures taken at the right time can make a huge difference.

Addiction is a big menace

Image
  Let us face it. The world today is far from what one would call beautiful or even “nice”. The venom of war, corruption, crimes, and even diseases have spread their talons all across. But what is the cause of all these? It could be poverty, it could be depression, it could be greed, or even natural calamities. However, these reasons are vague. So, does everyone in the world have a bad intention? Not everyone is born a thief, a criminal or an anti-social element. Addiction to a habit or a third-party substance makes them. Think about it? How many criminals, anti-social elements or even jobless/irrational/menacing/mentally ill people you can think of those were not addicted to substances such as liquor, nicotine or drugs? Addiction is a disease that affects your brain and behavior. This is the hidden evil.  Let us take a brief look at the major types of addictions.
