Your body sent a message. It also notices the change.
A blood-pressure reading, a liver test, a doctor asking how many units. It’s frightening, and it’s also useful: the body often responds quickly when drinking drops.

THE HONEST NUMBERS
No scare tactics. Just what the research says.
In trials, people drinking six or more drinks a day who cut by about half lowered their top blood-pressure number by about 5.5 mmHg. Your body notices.

Worry is a strong start. It’s a weak plan.
Fear gets you through a week. Then the result feels further away, a hard day arrives, and the old routine is still sitting in the fridge.
Your plan turns the scare into structure: a safe first day, a goal you choose, the hours that matter most, and numbers that show what’s changing while you wait for the next test.

GOOD QUESTIONS
Before you
start.
No. You choose a goal for the next 90 days: stop, drink a lot less, or “not sure yet”. The plan works with any of them, one day at a time.
If you drink heavily every day, stopping suddenly can cause dangerous withdrawal. Talk to a doctor first; they can help you stop safely. NewLeaves works alongside medical support, not instead of it.
None of those. NewLeaves is a self-guided daily companion with tools drawn from CBT, motivational interviewing and mindfulness-based relapse prevention. It isn’t medical care.
