One of the best ways to learn about Live4Five.org is to hear from someone who has participated in one of the dry season events.
Ann, currently one of our two-time participants, provides some perspective after her first dry season.
"Thank you so much for organizing this great program, good for members and good for others by way of the charities that you also support! This was a great week for my partner, Gary, and me. We were not heavy drinkers by US or British standards but we were in the habit of having a 5 o'clock cocktail or two, and then wine with dinner every night.
In the middle of dealing with the isolation of protecting ourselves from COVID-19, your program was suggested to us right at the time that we needed it. In addition to removing alcohol from our daily routine, we exercised more and ate a diet that helped us remove other toxins from our bodies. The combined result has us feeling more focused, energetic and positive at the end of the 5 weeks.
It was enlightening and encouraging also to have our weekly chats and to find out how others in our group were doing. I did notice in the last week that I was balancing better in tree pose and the dancer pose in my yoga practice, an improvement that you said might occur during week 5. I feel calmer and more balanced all around as well. Thanks again.!"
Alcohol takes a significant toll on every major organ including: Liver, heart, brain and pancreas. Despite what some may want you to believe, there are countless benefits from not drinking alcohol and zero proven benefits from drinking alcohol. A recent study found participants who quit drinking for a five-week period saw a reduced risk of liver damage, improved glucose balance, and weight loss, according to Medical Daily. Many participants report they look up to 5 to 10 years younger and drop 5 to 10 pounds. See testimonials: https://www.live4five.org/testimonials Do you have the willpower to succeed?
