Bad habits are not something strange, shameful or eternal - we can always give up a habit, which is not good for us, we should not be afraid to do it and we should believe in our abilities.
This way we will be able to overcome any difficulty - whether it will be smoking, excessive consumption of alcohol, eating harmful foods, overindulging in coffee, losing your temper.
Let's take excessive alcohol consumption for example – drinking stimulates the release of dopamine in the brain, so it makes us feel good. But when drinking starts happening consistently and over a long period of time, the body can become addicted to alcohol. No good consequences follow from such cases.
Fortunately, you can always fight against regular drinking! Share with a loved one, build a healthy habit instead, try a new hobby, consult a doctor - these steps are brave and admirable!
How Long Does It Take for Your Body to Detox from Alcohol?
As the alcohol leaves your system, withdrawal symptoms (nausea, restlessness, stomach pain, headache, and more, depending on the severity of the situation) will subside.
About 1 week (5 – 7 days) will be enough to detox the body from alcohol. In some cases, more time will be required if the alcohol addiction was more severe. In many cases, the struggle with the mental addiction continues for years, which does not mean that your body has not detoxed itself.
This is followed by positive effects on memory, brain function in general, sleep quality and overall body health.
