113: Thinking of Doing Sober October? There's a Better Way
Manage episode 509502941 series 3499801
With Sober October starting today, I'm exploring when (and if) you should take a break from alcohol.
Why designated challenges like Dry January and Sober October get criticism, particularly when people restrict their entire social life and end up miserable, and share what actually makes these alcohol-free breaks successful.
The truth? There's never a perfect time to take a break, so stop waiting for your calendar to magically clear.
I reveal why white-knuckling through 30 days only to binge afterwards defeats the purpose, and share alternative approaches to mindful drinking and moderation that don't involve counting every drink.
Whether you're considering a complete alcohol break or exploring different moderation techniques, this episode will help you take back the power of choice on your own terms and finally take a real step towards resetting your drinking.
