At just about the 3-week point of this month, how is your Dry January resolution coming along? Whether you're planning to take a full alcohol-free month or simply being more mindful about drinking habits, Dry January doesn't mean perfection. It's meant to help you reset, recharge, and rethink your relationship with alcohol as you move forward.
Checking-in is not about assigning a grade but more about what you've learned or if you've identified some useful takeaways from this experiment.
Has Dry January been easier than expected? That may suggest your relationship with alcohol is more in the "habit" category than dependency. 👍
Was it hard at first, but things have been improving? That may mean your brain is adjusting to a "new normal" and not drinking is starting to feel more natural.🧠
Or is it still hard to fight the cravings? That may mean alcohol was playing a larger role in your life than you realized.🍹
Are you sleeping better? Do you have more energy? If you feel better when you're not drinking or when your drinking is decreased, than your body is telling you something.😄
