The reasons to quit drinking are all compellingly valid. They are all based on real necessities and important factors, so important in fact that the habit could actually, and have, bring the downfall of a person. The need to stop drinking is not only very real but also quite urgent. But why do so many people fail? If stopping drinking is such a consequential necessity why have there been so many failed attempts. If you really need to stop drinking now, how come it’s so hard to realize.
Many efforts to stop drinking have been thwarted by the fact that there’s always tomorrow. It is so easy to convince yourself that you can start to stop drinking tomorrow, or next week and that you will. Before long, you find yourself in a cycle with only a few months, or even less, of sobriety in between.
‘It’s ok to drink now, tomorrow I promise I won’t drink anymore.’ But the problem is, from where we’re all standing, we can just as well have an infinite number of tomorrows. We convince ourselves that ‘this one will be the last one.’ We put it off, and put it off, and we end up never doing it at all. To effectively quit drinking, you need to recognize that you have to do it now. For many people, unfortunately, the ‘last one’ turns out to be the straw that broke the camel’s back, the tipping point, and everything comes tumbling down. In order to succeed, you need to think of ‘now’ as your last chance.
If you are ever going to stop drinking, you have to stop drinking now. Not tomorrow, not today, not after that party, not after that last drink. Condition your mind that this is the last chance you have at changing and believe it. It is so easy to fall back into the bad habit if you think you can start all over again tomorrow. Although you are not precluded from actually starting tomorrow, the complacence is what kills your drive. Knowing that you get as many chances as you want to start over subconsciously convinces you that it’s ok to drink today. This is a very slippery slope. If today you promise to start tomorrow and you believe this to be a valid course of action, the same will still be as valid tomorrow and you end up procrastinating to infinity. The determination to stop drinking is not only from actually quitting but in doing it now even if you know you can do it tomorrow.
Another very important reason to stop drinking now is the physiological part of the equation. Knowing this and keeping this in mind might actually keep you from sliding down the slippery slope of I’ll-start-tomorrows. Drinking, no matter how fun it can be is bad for your health. Every shot, every gulp speeds up the deterioration of your body. You might not feel it now, but it does actually make you sicker. It affects your blood pressure, your hydration, your liver, your kidneys your brain and the list goes on. The earlier you star to stop drinking, the less damage you cause your body. You might think you have a million tomorrows to actually stop drinking, but the fact is, every day that you keep on drinking, cuts that number down. There is infinite wisdom in the truest of all AA mantras: ‘It’s the engine that kills you, not the caboose.’ Don’t give yourself anymore ‘first drinks’ of the night, because they’re always the ones that get you in trouble.
