Are you thinking about quitting drinking? I thought about some 32 years ago, It was 1992 and I needed to get sober. I only thought about it It was not until March 1994 that I got serious and entered a Drug and Alcohol /Dual Diagnosis Rehabilitation.
One such benefit is improved heart health.For those that drink too much ( What is too much ? ) are more likely to suffer from cardiomyopathy, a condition in which the heart muscle weakens and enlarges. The treatment requires medications for life as well as a heart transplant f needed. Those with cardiomyopathy might also require a pacemaker and/or defibrillator device.
The second major body organ affected is the liver. The liver detoxifies all the toxins from our body. Alcohol is a toxin which can affect liver function and its ability to work. This could result in alcoholic cirrhosis This can result in death or even a liver transplant.
Then there are all the psychological The benefits are medical, emotional and psychological. Yes now there is more money in your bank, and your productivity improves. So does relationships- some end and some continue.
This past June I celebrated 30 years drug and alcohol free I am happy joyous and free. I live life on life’s terms approaching each day as a sober human being. My outlook to life is very different . I have learned to meditate and pray daily. I make a gratitude list on most nights I appreciate the small things in life I have built a life around my sobriety. I made it through the rainy storm, and I have survived. My feelings are warm taken from the storm- The sun appears in my life daily and I came through shining through the lonely years. Thank you , AA
Until tomorrow…
