Go Sober for October

I am challenging all of my loyal readers to go sober for October. There are many good reasons why you should not touch a drop of booze for this entire month. Can you name some?




Not only is it beneficial for your health to give your liver a break and lighter on your wallet, put away up for that trip you've wanted to take, but how about the calories you safe for your waistline if those reasons are not enough.

For Your Health!

The best reason to give up drinking for a month is for your health. Not only do alcoholic beverages contain a lot of sugar but all alcoholic beverages are filtered through the liver. Many people drink every day. Alcohol is loaded with empty calories consider all of the empty calories you will save. One organ that will thank you is your liver. It does not like having to process poison from your body. Yes, alcohol is a poison.

Many people who take this challenge experience a slight weight loss, clearer skin and eyes, improved quality of sleep, and a feeling of wellness. If you haven't challenged yourself with an alcohol free month, try it. Your body will appreciate it.


For Your Wallet
Alcohol is expensive and getting more costly by the day. Three drinks at a bar a week will set you back about $20. That is $80 for the month or about $1,000 in savings if you abstain for a year.

Even if you drink at home you can figure on a $1 a drink. That is $12 a month or about $150 per year. You could use that money to buy something nice for yourself or perhaps take an 8-hour, level 1 alcohol class which may actually help you make the decision to quit drinking all together.
