But in the long run, it produces negative effects which can be a serious setback to the overall well-being.

In the United States, alcohol-related deaths claim more lives than all intoxicants combined. Ironically, lawmakers are questioning the legalization of marijuana, but when it comes to alcohol, nobody seems to be wringing their hands over the issue of rising alcohol menace. It has become a socially accepted drug in the American society today.

Saying 'no' to alcohol

Being trapped in addiction makes one feel miserable. Though there are some who might have made attempts to quit. But a few days of sobriety followed by recurring relapses made them unsuccessful. It takes a huge leap of faith to embrace sobriety, something which alcoholics are very hesitant to do. Here are some Sober Tips to keep away from alcohol:

• Recognizing triggers that promote drinking: Places, schedules, lifestyle, or occasions that trigger an urge to drink must be avoided at any cost.
• Doing some soul searching: Assessing vulnerability is essential to break free. A traumatic past ridden with low self-worth raises the odds of alcoholism and needs to be fixed to prevent relapse.
• Refraining from booze buddies: Peer pressure might lead someone astray, which can lead him or her to indulge in drinking.
• Discovering new pastimes: An idle mind is a devil's workshop. Therefore, idleness must be substituted by new constructive hobbies.
• Building a support system: Advice from a network of non-judging friends, counselors, or even colleagues can help douse the cravings.
• Staying updated: It is important to acquaint oneself about the causes, symptoms, mental and physical health hazards, and treatment of alcohol-related disorders.
• Seeking detox treatment: Finally, however great the urge to drink may be, inpatient treatment in a specialized recovery center can make a huge difference.

Leading an Alcohol Free Lifestyle

Unlike other drugs that primarily harm the individual, the harms of alcohol extend to the near and dear ones, as well as the society. Quitting alcohol may have serious physical and emotional implications. Hence, it is important to know the factors that trigger cravings and the healthier ways to cope with them.
