It?s Summer Now, Time to Move Forward!

As an addition to this comment Summer is a great time to make a healthy lifestyle change for many reasons.

The weather is great so you can get outside and do things that make you happy while making the most of the short summer season.

It's easier to talk your friends and family into going out for a walk or enjoying outdoor festivals etc.

If you are quitting drinking you are probably looking for something else to do with all of those hours you used to spend drunk or getting drunk right?  Why not play organized sports? or join a league of some type.  or take up running or swimming or something else.

With all of your saved booze money you'll be able to pay to join a team or  maybe the Y or whatever..

Motivation and planning are extremely important to getting your priorities lined up. First, think of the main reasons you want to change. Take a piece of paper and on one half write down the reasons why you drink. On the other half, write down all the reasons why you want to cut down.

Now you have a better idea of what you will lose and what you will gain from reducing your alcohol intake. Circle the most important reason for you. Write it down on a separate piece of paper and keep it somewhere you can easily look at it when you need to.

Doing this activity will make it clear that there are many great reasons to cutting back and getting your life on track!
