Discover another side of yourself

If you don't drink for a while, you get to know yourself in a different way. This way you can find out that you actually like going to bed early or that starting the day with a brisk walk gives you a lot of energy.

Drinking alcohol is a habit. For example, on a birthday when you don't have to drive, you 'always drink 2 or 3 glasses of white wine'. And an evening of watching football is 'not the same without your specialty beers'. You don't always realize that you don't always have the energy to run an errand for a good friend or to kick a ball with your child.

But then suddenly it is clear to you. Without alcohol you get to know yourself in a different way. And we mean that in the broadest sense of the word. If you used to drink one beer after another at busy parties, you now prefer intimate dinners where good conversations make your evening. If you didn't have the energy to move before your break, there is now room and energy to do something about your condition. If you used to sit in your lounge chair night after night with your favorite alcoholic drink and watch the hours go by, you have now picked up a hobby.

Even more benefits

A break literally frees up more time and space to discover other things. With yourself and with others. Because an additional advantage of taking a break is that not only does your relationship with yourself improve, your relationships with others also improve. During conversations you are clear and with your head and that makes conversations more pleasant. And this month of break, this feeling only gets better and stronger. Enjoy it!
