KAIZEN FOR LIFE

A lot of you may not like this one and I’m sorry (not sorry) in advance.

Drinking.

I live in the uk and the drinking culture here is the more the better, go out get pissed, have fun, deal with the consequences later. I spent my teens (13-18) drinking in fields, then house parties, then clubs. Nearly everyone drank, all my friends did. That’s what I thought was normal, okay and what I was used to, along with various other things. I stopped drinking at the start of 2023 and the only time I have had a drink since was a few drinks on the 2 holidays I’ve been on. I only got drunk once. And although it was kind of nice to experience that feeling again, it still wasn’t worth the hangover (which I had forgotten about) and was also nor worth the way I felt about myself.

If you’d told me in 2022 that I would stop drinking and going out I would have told you to stfu. But here I am, not drinking and not going out.

The main reasons I chose to stop was because it is no longer in long with who I want to be and what I want to do with my life, I realised it brought no true benefit to my life, to spend less money on mean less things, to better my health, to be more respectful of myself and make better decisions. The list goes on but those are the core reasons.

This isn’t an easy decision and I know it will be different for everyone but this is just my opinion.

Truly think about whether drinking is worth it.
