After I stepped away from alcohol, I slowly realized something new: True relaxation is about physiologically calming the mind and body, whereas chemical-induced sedation tends to disrupt natural body rhythms.
Many of us have been conditioned to see alcohol as the easiest way to relieve stress—this belief has a real impact, making many feel a relentless desire for alcohol to unwind.
The cost of this belief can be high; it shapes how we think and feel about sobriety, leading to doubts about whether we can truly relax without alcohol.
Challenging the belief that alcohol is the key to relaxation could help reduce cravings and enable individuals to find peace through other methods like CBT or journaling.
