1. Script
What quitting alcohol does to your body and mind day by day. Day three: feeling energized. You'll notice a reduction in hangover symptoms. This includes noisier headaches and tiredness. This will make you feel more alert as booze tends to dull the senses. Days five to seven: healthy skin. You'll notice a reduction of puffiness in your skin and face. Alcohol is an inflammatory substance. It tends to cause swelling in the body. This is why you often notice your face puffing up after a heavy night. In the second week, you may notice that your sleep habits improve. You'll experience deeper, less interrupted sleep. Getting that extra sleep makes you feel more energized. This energy motivates you to do things that are good for us, like cooking nutritious foods and exercising. Day 15: improve mood. You might notice a shift in your overall mental wellness. You'll feel more positive and less anxious. Days 23-31: physical benefits. Your body will benefit from a reduced risk of heart disease, stroke, liver disease, and high blood pressure. If you have consumed alcohol on a regular basis previously, you might also notice a reduction in body fat after a couple of weeks.

3. My story
I used to go out for drinks after work regularly. One day, after a particularly heavy night, I woke up with a puffy face and the usual hangover symptoms. It hit me that these frequent outings were dulling my senses and affecting my well-being. I decided to cut back and take a break. After some time, I felt more energized and clear-headed. While I occasionally missed the after-work drinks, the benefits of feeling refreshed outweighed the temporary fun.
