🍻 Why Every Hangover Delays Your Recovery 🍷

Most people think a big night “only affects the next day,” but when you’re recovering from burnout or anxiety, alcohol hits differently. Hangovers spike cortisol, disrupt sleep, overstimulate the nervous system, and throw your body outside the Forgiveness Window for days, not hours.That means slower healing, more anxiety, more emotional volatility, and less resilience.

Alcohol also blocks REM sleep, which is crucial for emotional regulation so even one night of drinking can undo days of progress. This isn’t about perfection it’s about awareness. Every time you choose less alcohol, you choose faster recovery, more calm, more clarity, and more control.

Your future self will thank you for honouring your healing 🧘🏼‍♂️
