 10 things that happen to your body when you stop drinking alcohol. A Few points from this website are explained.

Whether you're drinking more frequently than you'd like to, or you're thinking of making your Dry January stint a more permanent one, there are plenty of reasons why people choose to stop consuming alcohol. But whatever your decision for ditching the booze, there is one overarching benefit that applies to everybody: better health. From glowing skin to a stronger immune system, there's a long list of advantages to being teetotal - and let's face it, who doesn't love feeling the freshest version of themselves?

But thanks to cultural and societal norms, alcohol is literally everywhere, which is why it's so easy to drink more than the recommended weekly amount, which is no more than 14 units, according to the NHS. The fact is, alcohol is the only socially-accepted mind-altering substance in the world, which means it's never going to completely go away. This is all despite the growing number of non-alcoholic beers, wines and spirits, or the slew of soft options available in replacement. However, if your health is a priority and you'd like to learn more about what happens to your body when you stop drinking alcohol, the benefits might sway your decision when you go to order your fifth cocktail of the night. Here's everything you need to know about how your body changes - for the better… (Picture: Getty Images)

1) Weight loss: Before we start, in no way are we saying that you need to lose weight. All bodies, whatever shape or size are all worthy of respect. And you should only embark on a weight loss journey if it feels right and healthy to you. That being said, there's no denying that being overweight does come with certain health risks, so if you know that alcohol is a contribution to your weight gain, there's no harm in cutting down. To put this into perspective, there are typically 154 calories in one can of beer. Or, if you prefer wine, a glass of your favourite pinot grigio contains 142 calories. Plus, research has shown that alcohol increases your appetite, and that you're likely to eat 30% more food after just two drinks, compared to someone who is not drinking (Picture: Getty Images)

 2) Healthier liver: This is one of the more obvious ones, because we all know that too much booze = an unhappy liver. But what actually happens to the vital organ when you drink too much, and how does it react when you give up the Friday night beers? In a nutshell, every time you drink alcohol, the liver filters it out, but some of its cells die in the process. Luckily, the liver does a great job at developing new cells, however, prolonged alcohol abuse can cause irreversible and permanent damage, including liver disease. With alcohol gone and the liver able to recover, the organ can then focus on its other important jobs, which includes breaking down other toxins produced by the body, and metabolising hormones and fats that require breaking down. Not to mention balancing blood sugar levels and helping to digest food (Picture: Getty Images)

9) Improves energy levels: Like we said earlier, you'll get a much better night's sleep when you cut out alcohol. Catching enough zzz's (which for an adult is between seven and nine hours per night) has a direct impact on your energy levels. When you remove alcohol from your system, including its dehydrating effects, you'll be less inclined to grab carb-heavy and sugary foods for a quick energy boost, where you'll later crash twice as hard. Again, this contributes to the weight loss point from before. What's more, your improved energy levels will also help towards a clearer mind, which we're about to get into now… (Picture: Getty Images)

मुक्क्दर में चलना था चलते रहे / " Basheer Badra

मैं मुसाफिर हूँ मेरे रास्ते बदलते रहे

मेरे मुक्क्दर में चलना था में चलता रहा /

मेरा प्यार, वयवहार, खाना, पीना, समय तथा उम्र के साथ 

किराये के घर की तरह बदलता रहा//

जीत और हार उसके हाथ में थी, 

इससे पहले की मैं समझता, समय चलता रहा /

उसके बताये रास्ते में, कहीं प्यार मिला कही कीमत भी नहीं

कुछ यादों को साथ लिए मैं तो बस चलता रहा //

कुछ भी कमी है तो,  तुम ना भूलो मुझको 

आदमी हूँ माफ़ी का हकदार समझ लो मुझको /

शायद मेरा दिमाग मेरी आँख के नजारों से 

कान की आवाजॉ से  बहुत दूर था  लेकिन, 

मेरे दिल को भी तुझे समझने में बहुत देर लगी //

समय का कया है चलता है रुकता ही नहीं 

देखते देखते वक़्त निकल जाता है /

और मेरी यादें मेरा बीता हुआ कल 

मुझे याद बहुत आता है /

शायद मैं तुम्हें फिर से मिल पाता और 

कहता मैं तुम्हे याद और प्यार बहुत करता हूँ //

मेरी मेहबूब जिंदगी के इस आखरी लम्हे में 

तेरी यादों से लिपटे मैं तुम्हे याद बहुत करता हूँ

और सोचता हूँ की शायद तुम मेहरबान हो कर 

अपनी हिम्मत को हिम्मत देकर 

मेरे नाम को पुकारोगी और मुझे एक बार फ़ोन से सुहागो गी 

और मैं फिर कहूंगा की मैं तुम्हे याद बहुत करता हूँ //

होगा यही मेरा अंतिम स्वर 

तुमको याद करते मैं फिर जिंदगी की अंतिम नींद में सो जाऊँगा "//

और मैं जानता हूँ की तूने मुझे जब भी देखा पीते पिलाते देखा 

और मुझे मेरे ख्यालों के कटोरों में भीगा हुआ देखा 

और मैंने जब भी तुझे देखा तेरी रूह को तरसते देखा /

I am a traveler. Time always takes me on the road and compels me to move. I moved from place to place and country to country. But I always remained with my known who loved, cared, and respected me. Nothing was in my hands. Time only changed the circumstances and as a mute spectator, I followed. I committed many mistakes and concluded nothing is in my hands. I am only a puppet in the hands of my destiny. Only memories can I take and perhaps may take rebirth with all these memories. I assure you that I remember and remember you very much.

तूने जब भी देखा मुझे, पीते पिलाते देखा 

मैंने जब भी तुझे  देखा, तेरी रूह को तरसते देखा 

मेरी मेहबूब कहीं और मिला कर मुझ से /

I am now aging and enjoying different life.

I do not know how and why I thought of writing a few lines for love and life. Perhaps I am emotional and I am always in love with nature and humanity. These are my first few lines of poetry without drinking wine, beer, and whiskey. I hope you may enjoy it. 

सोचता हूँ मोहब्बत से किनारा कर लूँ 

फिर से मैं दिल को दिलो दीवार से आवारा कर दूँ /

मगर ये जिंदगी कम से कम तू ये तो बता 

कितने दिन और जीऊंगा उससे बिछड़ के /

वो मुझे याद करे या ना करे , मैं तो मर रहा हूँ उससे बिछड़ के  /

कौन चाहता है मर के जन्नत को जाना 

मैं तो चाहता हूँ फिर से तुम्हारे साथ  इस दुनियां में आना //

तुम मुझे याद करो या ना करो 

मैं तो तुम्हे याद करूँगा फिर भी मर के //

आज की तन्हाई भी क्या तन्हाई है 

शम्मा जलती नहीं किसी भी अंगड़ाई से /

आपको विशवास हो या ना हो 

मैं तुम्हे जरूर मिलूंगा किसी और जनम में मर के//

दिन की तन्हाई भी क्या तन्हाई है उस से बिछड़ के 

सुबह से मैं पी रहा हूँ उसे याद कर कर के //

अब श्याम हुई फिर रात हुई और ये तन्हाई है 

रात की तन्हाई में मैं खो सो जाऊंगा 

ख्यालों उस से गले लग के फिर पी पी के //

मगर ये जिंदगी कम से कम तू ये तो बता 

कितने दिन और जीऊंगा पियूँगा उससे बिछड़ के //

कभी कभी तुम्हारी याद पे याद आती है 

दिल की धड़कन आँखों  के आंसू से निकल पड़ती है /

और अब मैं फिर सोचता हूँ मोहब्बत से किनारा कर लूँ 

फिर से मैं दिल को दिलो दीवार से आवारा कर दूँ /

FOR THOSE WHO ARE 60 yrs OLD AND ABOVE PLEASE READ THIS.

This is for you. I really like what is said here and am going to try my best to follow it. Thank you to the person who wrote this. May God bless us all as we strive to be a blessing to others at this age, especially to our children.

Between 60 and death. It's time to use the money you saved up. Use it and enjoy it. Don't just keep it for those who may have no notion of the sacrifices you made to get it. Remember there is nothing more dangerous than a son or daughter-in-law with big ideas for your hard-earned capital.

Warning: This is also a bad time for investments, even if it seems wonderful or fool-proof. They only bring problems and worries. This is a time for you to enjoy some peace and quiet.

Stop worrying about the financial situation of your children and grandchildren, and don't feel bad spending your money on yourself. You've taken care of them for many years, and you've taught them what you could. You gave them an education, food, shelter, and support. The responsibility is now theirs to earn their own money.

Keep a healthy life, without great physical effort. Do moderate exercise (like walking every day), eat well, and get your sleep. It's easy to become sick, and it gets harder to remain healthy. That is why you need to keep yourself in good shape and be aware of your medical and physical needs. Keep in touch with your doctor, do tests even when you're feeling well. Stay informed.

Always buy the best, most beautiful items for your significant other. The key goal is to enjoy your money with your partner. One day one of you will miss the other, and the money will not provide any comfort then, enjoy it together.

Don't stress over the little things. You've already overcome so much in your life. You have good memories and bad ones, but the important thing is the present. Don't let the past drag you down and don't let the future frighten you. Feel good in the now. Small issues will soon be forgotten.

Regardless of age, always keep love alive. Love your partner, love life, love your family, love your neighbor and remember: "A man is not old as long as he has intelligence and affection."

Be proud, both inside and out. Don't stop going to your hair salon or barber, do your nails, go to the dermatologist and the dentist, keep your perfumes and creams well stocked. When you are well-maintained on the outside, it seeps in, making you feel proud and strong.

Don’t lose sight of fashion trends for your age, but keep your own sense of style. You’ve developed your own sense of what looks good on you – keep it and be proud of it. It’s part of who you are.

ALWAYS stay up-to-date. Read newspapers, watch the news. Go online and read what people are saying. Make sure you have an active email account and try to use some of those social networks. You'll be surprised at what old friends you'll meet.

Respect the younger generation and their opinions. They may not have the same ideas as you, but they are the future and will take the world in their direction. Give advice, not criticism, and try to remind them that yesterday's wisdom still applies today.

Never use the phrase: “In my time.” Your time is now. As long as you’re alive, you are part of this time.

Some people embrace their golden years, while others become bitter and surly. Life is too short to waste your days on the latter. Spend your time with positive, cheerful people, it'll rub off on you and your days will seem that much better. Spending your time with bitter people will make you feel older and harder to be around.

Do not surrender to the temptation of living with your children or grandchildren (if you have a financial choice, that is). Sure, being surrounded by family sounds great, but we all need our privacy. They need theirs and you need yours. Even then, do so only if you feel you really need the help or do not want to live by yourself

Don't abandon your hobbies. If you don't have any, make new ones. You can travel, hike, cook, read, dance. You can adopt a cat or a dog, grow a kitchen garden, play cards, checkers, chess, dominoes, golf.

Try to go. Get out of the house, meet people you haven't seen in a while, experience something new (or something old). The important thing is to leave the house from time to time. Go to museums, go walk through a park. Get out there.

Speak in courteous tones and try not to complain or criticize too much unless you really need to. Try to accept situations as they are.

Pains and discomfort go hand in hand with getting older. Try not to dwell on them but accept them as a part of life.

If you've been offended by someone – forgive them. If you've offended someone-apologize. Don't drag around resentment with you. It only serves to make you sad and bitter. It doesn't matter who was right. Someone once said: "Holding a grudge is like taking poison and expecting the other person to die." Don't take that poison. Forgive, forget, and move on with your life.

Laugh. Laugh away your worries Remember, you are one of the lucky ones. You managed to have a life, a long one. Many never get to this age, never get to experience a full life.

My valued friends, enjoy peaceful life at this point in your life ...

Don't worry... be happy.
