Banning smoking and alcohol.

We have seen the reality again and again: "Once you are addicted to drinking, you will be an alcoholic all your life." If you start drinking again after a period of sobriety, it won't be long before you are in a mess. If you are going to give up drinking, you can't have any reservations. You can't hide the idea that one day you can drink normally.

Today, I am an alcoholic, and tomorrow will be no different. My addiction to alcohol will accompany me all my life, so I can never forget that I am an alcoholic. If I can't recognize and admit the nature of my disease, alcohol will definitely lead to my death. I can't play games that think failure is only a temporary setback. I'm solving my alcohol addiction. There is no cure for this disease, so we can only accept it and always be vigilant.

The more we want to stay away from alcohol, the more we want to drink. Therefore, it is not enough just to stay away from alcohol (or not to consider drinking).

Once you give up drinking, how will you spend your spare time? Most of us have formal work to do, but we still have a lot of free time to kill. Therefore, we must cultivate new hobbies and arrange colorful activities to fill these hours, and at the same time find an appropriate outlet for the energy once addicted to alcohol.

We can do many meaningful things that suit us.

1. At the beginning of abstinence, you can take a walk or a brisk walk. Especially to new places you've never been before. Take a leisurely walk in the park or country road, but it's not a tiring March.

2. read. Although some of us can't settle down to read, we really should read some books in order to broaden our horizons, increase our life experience and concentrate more.

Visiting museums or galleries, some people choose photography is also good.

4. Swimming, running, cycling, yoga or other exercises recommended by doctors.

5. Deal with long-neglected housework. Tidy up the wardrobe and dresser, file the documents in different categories, or deal with things that we have put off for a long time. But when we do these things, we should not be greedy, we should do what we can. Don't clean the whole kitchen or all the files at once, but clean one drawer or one folder at a time and do other work another day.

6. Try to cultivate new hobbies. Choose activities that are not too expensive or demanding. These activities are purely entertaining, refreshing and without competitive pressure. For example, singing, writing, tropical fish, carpentry, basketball, cooking, bird watching, amateur performance, wood carving, gardening, guitar, movies, dance, stone carving, potted plants, collection and so on. Many people find that the activities they really like now are actually hobbies that they have never considered trying before.

7. regain the fun of the past. A watercolor painting, table tennis or go, reading notes, etc. Then you haven't polished it for many years. Go on with these hobbies. But if you think it doesn't suit you anymore, give it up.

8. Go to class. Learn Japanese or English? Do you like history or math? Want to know about archaeology or anthropology? Or cooking, computer operation, and then go to correspondence courses, TV universities or adult education (just for fun, not necessarily credit certificates). There are many places where you can take classes only once a week. Why not try it? Taking classes can not only broaden your horizons, but also broaden your life. In case you are tired of the class content, don't hesitate to quit and learn to give up activities that are not beneficial to ourselves or have no positive and healthy significance, so that we can summon up the courage to face it again and have a chance to appreciate new aspects of life except drinking.

9. Volunteer to do some useful services. Many hospitals, children's service institutions and social welfare organizations are in great need of volunteers to provide various services. We can have many choices. When we can contribute to others, even if it is only a trivial service, we will feel particularly useful. Even when we talk about the process of participating in these activities and related information, we will feel very interested and particularly involved.

10. Most of us know that there are many ways to cut a new hairstyle, wear a new dress, change a pair of glasses and even update our teeth, which will have unexpected and pleasant effects.

1 1. Relax. Not everything we do in our daily life must be positive and innovative. We also need to do some activities purely out of interest, such as kites, zoos, comedy movies, soul music, detective stories and so on. If you don't like them, find other interesting activities that have nothing to do with drinking, just to treat yourself.
