It can seem impossible to imagine a life without alcohol when you’ve been living in a life where alcohol is at the center of your world. You’ve said it so many times before, “This is my last drink”, but sadly that is not usually the case. If you’ve been looking for an alcohol treatment program that actually works, we can help. Go Sober is unlike anything you’ve ever done before. The experts at Go Sober have spent years working with top neuroscientists, medical professionals, mental-health experts, and addiction specialists.

Seeking treatment for your alcohol dependence is the biggest step you can make towards a permanently sober lifestyle. It can be a daunting task. We promise that the light at the end of the tunnel is there and that it’s worth it. If you’ve been living a life specifically surrounded by alcohol, you may not be able to even imagine a lifestyle without it. In this blog article, we will dive deeper into what may change in your life and how that might affect you.  

 

Relationships Improve 

Once you are living a sober lifestyle, you may find it easier to maintain and form healthier relationships. Especially if you’re a parent, this is a huge area where sober living will positively affect your life and those around it. While it may take time to rebuild healthy relationships with your children, spouse, or friends you will absolutely become a more patient, present, and positive person.

You will also become a better friend. Instead of devoting time to drink or be around alcohol, that time can be spent nurturing those meaningful relationships. You can work to be more of a reliable and honest person. When you start to get to know yourself you’ll start to find different things that interest you. With this, you’ll find new friends and support that comes in different areas of your life. Creating new friendships, especially with those who are living a sober lifestyle, they are likely to be the most nurturing and fulfilling relationships you’ve ever had. 

 

 

Health Improves 

This one is huge. We’re all aware of the health repercussions that come from excessively drinking alcohol, but we still do it anyways. When you cut out alcohol, you drastically decrease your risk of so many health issues. Like we’ve mentioned in a previous blog, these health risks include liver disease, various cancers, cardiovascular disease, and so much more.

Whenever we drink something, we tend to neglect the nutrition facts around that drink. Alcohol can have a mindblowing amount of calories, carbohydrates, and fats that are directly going into your body. These empty calories can add up quickly and can then lead to food consumption, which is usually not healthy. This leads you to be unable to maintain a healthy weight, which can then lead to other health problems. 

 

You also may find that you have more energy when you stop drinking. Alcohol is a depressant, which also has the tendency to make you feel drowsy. When you stop drinking, you’ll find that you may have more energy. Alcohol also tends to disturb your sleep patterns and doesn’t give you the best quality of sleep. By cutting out alcohol, you’ll find that your quality of sleep improves and you’re getting more of it. When you’re sleeping, your body will also not have to work as hard to repair the damage that the alcohol has done. 

 

Physical Appearance Improves  

Just like we mentioned earlier, alcohol does a lot of damage to your body on the inside. But that damage can be visibly seen on the outside. Your physical appearance is dramatically affected by what you eat and drink. Once you stop poisoning your body with toxins your complexion improves. You may find that blemishes clear, wrinkles aren’t as defined, and your dark circles may disappear. Alcohol also has the ability to make you look older, so once you start living a sober lifestyle you may find that you look younger. While this may sound superficial, when we look better we feel better about ourselves and that confidence can radiate into multiple parts of your life. 

 

Finances May Improve 

Once you’ve stopped drinking, you’ll be able to spend money that you would have previously spent on alcohol on other things. It may be shocking to see how much money you have after not spending it on alcohol. This money can go towards paying off any type of debt, save for large purchases, or even invest in new hobbies. Instead of spending all your money on alcohol, you can spend it on more meaningful experiences with people that you love. 

Deciding to finally put the bottle down can be incredibly hard. It’s one of the bravest and best things that you can do. There are many benefits that living a sober lifestyle will bring, but one of the biggest benefits is that you were able to finally take control of your life. It’s going to be a lot of work and it may be difficult at some point, but it’s going to be the best decision you’ve ever made.
