To spend an evening with a bottle of beer, and on holidays not to be limited to one bottle, and maybe even take something stronger on the chest - this habit exists among many. Some people cannot understand at all whether it is really possible to relax without resorting to drinking alcoholic beverages. However, they do not think that alcohol does not just give the body a rest, but on the contrary exhausts it even more.
Instructions
Step 1
Listen to yourself: why can't you relax without drinking? Maybe it's just a psychological addiction. Drinking with friends makes you feel more relaxed and it seems to you that you are resting both in spirit and in body. And it is quite possible that addiction is no longer only psychological and it is time to take drastic measures.
Step 2
If you are determined to eliminate alcohol or substantially reduce the amount of alcohol in your life, consider how else you can rest. After all, you usually have a drink with friends in a bar, a nightclub or in general in a park on a bench. Change your interests and where you visit.
Step 3
Go to museums, theaters, exhibitions. There is no alcohol in such cultural places, and you will feel that without it you can spend time interestingly and with benefits for self-education. Speaking of education, start taking courses that you have long dreamed of learning. Playing the guitar, learning a foreign language. If this is your long-term desire, you will not get tired of such work.
Step 4
Take up active sports. Volleyball, basketball, football - whatever. Sports activities not only lift your spirits and give a positive charge to the whole body, but also improve your appearance. Engage in social activities.
Step 5
Communication with animals plays an important role. Furry friends are very good at relieving stress. Be in nature more often. Observing it calms and energizes the body.
Step 6
If you choose the right way to spend your free time, you will be pleasantly surprised that even without alcohol you feel no worse. On the contrary, your body will begin to really rest, thanks to sports activities, the body will tighten, and the new knowledge gained may help you achieve those goals that you could not even dream of sitting on the couch with a bottle of beer.
