Quitting Drinking Can Seem Impossible Until You Don’t Drink Any More
We all know that the actual process of quitting drinking alcohol is very, very simple… YOU don't put the alcohol into YOUR body. If you follow this one simple rule, there's nothing more to do.
Having said that, what holds many people back from either starting this journey or progressively moving away from alcohol and advancing with their lives, is that so many parts of their lives must alter in order to achieve that end goal.
People fear the extent of this change. And, when you look at it from a birds eye view, it's a really big task. However, fortunately for us, we don't live our lives like that. We live our lives moment by moment.
Once you get onto the track, the right track, the track which is going to take you towards your ideal destination, there becomes a certain beautiful inevitability about the changes that you will make, and the changes that will begin to happen automatically…
Think about the snowball rolling down a hill. It starts out at the top as something very small, weak, slow, hesitant, uncertain. In no time it starts to move quicker, easier, it's gathering magnitude, building momentum, accelerating. By the time it reaches the bottom of the hill, it bears no resemblance to that which started at the top.
The same with your new journey… You start out with uncertainty, feeling not up to the job, hesitant and uncertain about the next step, lacking knowledge or experience, feeling weak. But as the days roll on, your experience grows. You put more distance between yourself and the alcohol. You take more steps towards the person you want to be. You feel stronger. You feel like you are growing in confidence. By the time you get to 6 months, a year, two years, your life will bear no resemblance to what it looked like at the beginning of your journey. You will have changed so much, beyond what you thought possible, and in ways you couldn't possibly have thought about.
That is what you have to tap into. And that is what can only be found within the confines of your own mentality. Stop looking anywhere else. You won't find it. Start looking inside. Be your own biggest inspiration.
