Good Morning Everyone!
Please check out my newest article on The Veggie Stand, “Simplify: What Happens When You Remove Meat and Alcohol from Your Life?”
I have an anniversary fast approaching: the anniversary of my switch to a vegetarian lifestyle. I say “lifestyle” because it truly is a lifestyle change that effects every aspect of your life including your personality, your health, and even your relationship with yourself and others. Soon after the switch, I removed alcohol from my life too.
What happens when you remove both meat and alcohol from your life? Some people would consider living this type of existence the exact definition of the word “hell.” I myself once felt that completely removing alcohol from my life would never happen. I liked my frozen drinks and micro-brews. Somehow social drinking was a part of me that I didn’t feel the need to give up, drinking once a month or twice tops. In fact, when I turned vegetarian, I remember being excited that I could still drink beer.
