Sabbitical from alcohol

In April i read this article in More magazine about social drinking. The writer ( a women) decided to go 30 days without booze.
She talks about mothers who say they need a drink , especially when dealing with teenage children and their problems and also after a hard day at the office. We always find some excuse to drink, at lunch with the girls, at a dinner party, every night at supper.
Its called doing a "thirty" and i'm on day 21.
I did it because, i work hard here , we run businesses from our home, so i need to be on top of things, mentally and physically.
On the internet there are thousands of sites that talk about giving your body a break, by not drinking alcohol even 1 glass every day, you give your liver and kidneys a break from always having to process alcohol.
It is also dehydrating so this is a good break for your skin, a chance to rehydrate and detoxify.
Furthermore I've read that women going through menopause could find some reprieve from symptoms if there is less alcohol to none consumed .

It has been fairly easy, only the first couple days were hard, its the ritual I missed the most at first, the sitting down with wine, discussing the day with partner and what do i drink, i've never been a pop or juice drinker and water gets done right boring all day and all night, but i did find i like tonic and mineral water. I did have a headache on day 4 and 5, but that was it
I haven't missed a social function, I've been down at the local pub a number of times.
I'ts funny the reaction you get from your friends ( all social drinkers) , some are envious all are proud.
I tell them , "you can do it too".

This is how I feel:
I'm sharper
I have a lot more energy
I sleep like a baby every night.
I 'm crazy happy.
More creative ideas.
More organized
more money in my pocket
I'm actually more hyper , I believe the alcohol does relax me.
Coffee is the only thing that comes close to relaxing me and getting me to sit down for more than 5 minutes without moving.

I don't even think about it anymore, Its easier than I thought and I'm getting alot of accomplished.
