You have to build the non drinking life and allow drinking to become more and more irrelevant as each day passes. Embrace this way of living and love it. I can honestly say that I have not given drinking much air time in the last 6 weeks. If I have its to reflect upon the ridiculousness of peoples views of drinking and their lives. When you can’t see the point of a holiday without getting smashed you need to have a word with yourself. (I have been there and did!)

This is the same point with Moderation. Whilst moderation and Dry January give your liver a break for as long as you can hold out they don’t give you a glimpse of what a non drinking life is like. They don’t show you how good the world can be without needing to get plastered. What they do is create a framework built upon denying yourself and rules that become increasingly hard to meet, until eventually, emotionally exhausted, you relax into your favourite tipple.

Ask yourself the question. Are you a drinker who is not drinking or someone who doesn’t drink? If its the former this is hard work. from Non Drinking versus Drinking Lives
