Some people who live in recovery from mental health disorders and addiction are now drinking water. Many of us who liked to drink alcohol had no sense of drinking it in moderation. We stopped drinking alcohol and we started drinking coffee. We found we drank a lot of coffee. It created bouts of anxiety and we found it difficult to sleep. We switched to decaf. It helped. We then started drinking water. It helped too. We found that we could fill a water bottle at home and carry it with us. We started saving money and helping the environment. Water is good for us. The hand to mouth is a natural action and the water is soothing to drink. It detoxes the body. We can still have a cup or two of regular coffee a day. A bit more of decaf if we choose. Drink water. Two liters a day.
