Does drinking alcohol feel like a bit of a burden to you?  Would you like to be free of the burden of drinking alcohol every day?  You would be amazed how good it feels to not think about drinking every day, and not have to rush home to start drinking, or not even think about drinking anymore!

But believe me – it can feel like that, to be free from the burden of drinking alcohol.

Give Yourself the Gift of Today

Every day is a wonderful day.  But for many people, the stress of our modern day lives prevents us from being truly grateful for what we have.  It is a mistake to forget to be thankful for the gifts that we receive each day.  The opposite is to dwell on the negative things, or to overlook the things we do have and to wish for more.

When we forget to give thanks for what we do have, we take these gifts for granted, when really, there are many other people with far fewer material belongings.  The tragedy is that for those of us with many things to be grateful for, we don’t seem happy.  These things seem not to bring us happiness, and it is those who have less who seem to be more contented.

Do you feel the Burden of Drinking Alcohol

We certainly do need to share our day with alcohol.  Those who pretend to enjoy drinking alcohol every day, are actually not as happy with their daily gifts, as those who have learned to celebrate the gift of today, enjoying being in the moment, and enjoying every day.  Otherwise we can get stuck in the trap of drinking too much alcohol every day.

Have you heard the beautiful story of two men in hospital, who shared friendship and a hospital room?

Both men were badly ill, but could share conversation with each other.  One of the men was completely bed ridden, and could not see out of the window.  The other man was near a window, but he was so ill that he could only sit propped up for one hour per day.

With nothing else to do, the two men talked about their lives, their families, their homes and about their dreams.  They became friends, and came to rely on their mutual conversation to keep up their spirits.

They both came to enjoy that one hour per day.  When the man near the window could describe the wonderful view outside.  For that one hour, they could share that vision of the outside world.  And they could discuss the beautiful view of the park, the lake, the ducks, the children, the sunshine.  But most of all to discuss the simple pleasure of enjoying such a lovely day.

Enjoy each day

One day, the man near the window passed away.  Despite his sadness for the loss of his friend, the other man asked to be moved next to the window so that he might see the view for himself.  The nurse was happy to help him move beds.  But she explained that there was no view out of the window barring a brick wall.

Confused, he asked the nurse why his friend had been able to see a park with a lake and the sunshine.  The nurse replied that his friend had indeed been blind, and could not even see the wall, let alone the park.

But his gift was to enjoy each day with is friend.

End Note: There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations. Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled. If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can’t buy.  “Today is a gift, that is why it is called The Present.”
