If anything (even if not listed), is negatively affecting your quality of life, you need to take a look at your behavior, and consider sobriety. Whether the negative consequences are physical, emotional, social, financial or any combination of those, sobriety is likely the answer. Stop the behavior right away, see how you feel and either redefine your relationship with that particular substance/behavior. If you see amazing benefits, and your health and wellness are reaping the rewards, you could then turn it into a new way of life without the substance/behavior.
If you choose to take this needed step to improve your quality of life, this is something to be profoundly proud of yourself for. You are on your way to breaking an unhealthy behavior and changing your life for the better.
May you live Happy, Joyous and Free!
