Is a month without alcohol hard – or can you see glaring benefits? Either way, here's how to make it stick.
As you skip out on drinks throughout the month, you may notice signs that make you even more sober-curious. Maybe you realise how much you’ve been relying on alcohol or how much better your life is without it.
Below, experts share the signs your Dry January challenge should become a more permanent part of your lifestyle and list tips for sticking with it.While alcohol is something many of us turn to when we feel upset, want to have fun or need to wind down, it can also limit our lives. For example, when you’re drunk, you can’t drive to a Zumba class or play with your baby niece.
“Dry January presents a host of opportunities to experience what we otherwise might have missed out on,” saysby Burning Tree, an addiction treatment center. With all that extra time you had during Dry January, he explained, you might have gotten to try something new and exciting.Further, you might recognise all you missed out on — either in general or sober.
“Enjoying yourself without alcohol takes some relearning, and you might find that some things you thought you enjoyed, you actually don’t, and you might find that you start developing new interests,” he says. For example, you might find more value in small group gatherings than parties, or enjoy playing recreational soccer over drinking alone at home.As you probably know, alcohol can make you feel groggy, moody and nauseous, to start.
