Method

edit_note Track your drinking for 14 days

Guide : Write down each drink, context, mood, amount and next-day effect. The goal is not shame; it is clarity.
  • Separate intentional drinking from automatic drinking.
  • Identify your three highest-risk contexts.
  • Watch sleep, energy, mood, digestion, training and focus.

flag Choose one measurable rule

Guide : Pick a clear 30-day rule: no weekday alcohol, a dry month, a two-drink limit, or a medically supported reduction if abrupt quitting is unsafe.
  • Define what “less” means before the situation starts.
  • Schedule alcohol-free days.
  • If you drink heavily or daily, seek medical advice before stopping abruptly.

local_drink Replace the ritual, not only the liquid

Guide : Alcohol often carries a ritual: a glass, a pause, a social signal. Keep the useful part and change the product.
  • Prepare alcohol-free drinks that feel intentional.
  • Use a ready sentence: “I’m taking a break from alcohol.”
  • Keep connection while removing the automatic drink.
