The Reasons For Drinking And The Easy Way To Say NO
People drink for a variety of different reasons at the onset. The majority do so simply to be social. For many of us this happens in high school or college. Its continued when we surround ourselves with fellow drinkers as we become adults. But the reasons we continue to drink go much deeper for each of us.
The reasons for drinking though seem to become quite apparent to us, being depression, stress or just the desire to relax, but the sad conclusion is that whatever the reasons are, we have become completely dependent on alcoholic beverages.
For some of us, it simply becomes a habit. Just like some people enjoy a Coke or Pepsi after dinner, others enjoy an alcoholic beverage. Habits, in moderation, aren’t necessarily bad but when they become consistent and more frequent, there may be an issue.
A real tell tale symptom about going out and drinking is when you can’t enjoy yourself without a drink inside you. If this is your case it may the time to consider the possibility that your habit has turned into an addiction.
When you have to begin explaining your decisions to your family and friends it should just be sufficient enough to tell them that you just want to refrain from drinking. It is quite understandable that you may not want to announce this decision out loud to everyone in your life, so here are a few examples of good excuses you can give for not drinking.
I’ve got to drive later…I have an interview in the morning…I’m on medication…I’m just too full from dinner…My other half will kill me…I’ve still got some work to do tonight.
Quite honestly the reason you choose is not the issue here, the important factor is remaining firm to your word and not allowing other people to convince you otherwise. If a colleague tries to twist your arm on having just a quick one, just walk away and use your imagination to find something else to do and preferably with people that don’t drink to enjoy themselves.
