4 Reasons You Should Get Sober in 2017

1.  Your health will improve and you will feel better:  Alcohol and most other drugs are perceived as toxic to the body.  When you have a drink, your body tries to eliminate it immediately but typically a single drink takes an hour to be processed in the liver.  Alcohol effects every system in your body: dilating blood vessels, changing heart rhythms and causing your blood sugar to drop.  Getting sober will immediately improve your health and give you added years to spend with the ones you love.

2.  You will save money:  Using and maintaining an addiction is expensive.  The average American spends 1% of their annual income on alcohol.... the average alcoholic spends far more.  Toss the booze and save the cash in 2017.

3.  You will have more time on your hands to do the things you love: Now that you don't have to spend time finding your next fix or waste time hungover on a saturday, you can begin pursuing the passions that you have let go by the wayside. Head back to the gym or plan a daytime outing with your family, or maybe just treat yourself to some much needed self-care.

4.  Your perspective on life will improve:  Without the guilt and shame of addiction hanging over your head, you will have the opportunity to gain clarity about the life you want to create.  An improvement in life perspective will help you achieve everything you had hoped for in 2017.
