Benefits of abstaining from drinking alcohol
If you are a social drinker, you do not rely on alcohol to make you feel better, but if you are suffering from alcohol addiction, you should rather seek professional help.
Liz Hemingway:
“ The day I became free of alcohol was the day that I fully understood and embraced the truth that I would not be giving anything up by not drinking.”
