A Four Week Guide to Drinking Less Alcohol

Written By Michael Ockrim

Drinking alcohol is a common social activity, but excessive consumption can lead to negative health and personal consequences. Here is a four-week guide to help you reduce your alcohol intake:

Week 1: Awareness and tracking

  • Keep a record of the number of drinks you have each day and the times you drink them.

  • Use a smartphone app or write it down in a journal.

  • Set a goal for the week, such as reducing the number of drinks you have each day or cutting out alcohol for one or two days each week.

Week 2: Alternatives and self-reflection

  • Try non-alcoholic alternatives, such as sparkling water with a twist of lemon or lime, club soda with bitters, or kombucha.

  • Reflect on why you drink, the situations and emotions that trigger drinking, and what you hope to achieve by reducing your alcohol consumption.

  • Consider seeking support from a trusted friend or family member or seeking professional help.

Week 3: Planning and preparation

  • Plan ahead for social events, such as bringing non-alcoholic drinks or suggesting alternative activities that don’t involve drinking.

  • Make healthier food choices to reduce cravings and support your goal to drink less alcohol.

  • Find new activities and hobbies that bring you pleasure and help you relax without alcohol.

Week 4: Review and reinforcement

  • Review your progress, the benefits you’ve experienced, and what you’ve learned about yourself and your relationship with alcohol.

  • Reinforce your commitment to reducing your alcohol consumption, and remind yourself of the reasons why you started this journey.

  • Celebrate your achievements and consider setting new goals for the future.

Reducing alcohol consumption requires effort and commitment, but the benefits to your health, relationships, and overall well-being are well worth it. If you need additional support, consider talking to a healthcare provider or reaching out to a support group, such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).
