Drinking is a powerful temptation – alcohol does a lot of fun things for any person. It makes for fun parties and it also serves as an ego booster. It takes the edge off of a long day and it blurs the sharpness of whatever thing you’re feeling down about. For many people, it has become an indispensable companion. There are a million things that you can think of, right off the bat, why alcohol is so popular. All these reasons make up for why giving up drinking is very hard for so many people. After all, why give up something that is so fun or something that helps you get through very difficult emotional ordeals. For some, unfortunately, the question is “why give up my way to deal?” Drinking gives so much of a false sense of intensity and enjoyment that everything pales in comparison. Most people would notice that things seem less exciting when they’re not drinking. Get-togethers and dinners that used to be just fine before seem boring and lacking without drinks. Bonding time with friends seems less deep when they’re just sitting around a campfire.

The reasons one can think about to keep drinking are the same reasons why one should. Most people would say that drinking occasionally is harmless – this is actually a very dangerous thought. We have seen so many occasional drinks lead to many devastating things: car accidents, irresponsible actions that lead to regrets, things you wish you could take back. In addition, drinking is, though not necessarily always, habit forming. Your tolerance level eventually rises, causing consumption to do the same, then comes dependence, and then comes the one bad habit. Many people would say they could stop whenever they want to, but as in the case of all addictive substances, very few are actually right. The dangerous part is: nobody really knows who will turn out to be the ones who are right. This is why giving up drinking is one of the best and most important decisions a person makes.

Some people have trouble quitting drinking because they have used it as a means of coping with life. Most of the people who are hooked on drinking started at a time when they are struggling with something emotional: a very sad experience or a very angry time. They become attached to drinking thinking that it takes the pain away and that that pain will come back when they become sober. What they fail to realize is that drinking only suppresses these feelings and do not really sort them out. It only prolongs the sorrow instead of ending it.

A drunken state gives a false sense of comfort that most alcoholics get attached to. Before long, the ones holding the bottle end up as the ones being held by it. This is why so many of them find it so hard to quit. Aside from the actual physiological reactions of their bodies due to the developed dependence to alcohol, there is also the elusive psychological factor: the idea that alcohol makes them feel better. This idea is what keeps them locked into the habit. This habit feeds on itself and eventually, and almost certainly, grows out of control adversely affecting every part of a person’s life. This is why giving up drinking is important: the very thing that the person thought made him feel better, by virtue of that very thought, destroys that person.
