Dry October.....
Another great opportunity to challenge yourself and make positive changes to your drinking habits:)
By abstaining from alcohol for the entire month, you can experience the benefits of zero alcohol in your system, both physically and mentally.
Have you've ever asked yourself, do I drink too much?
This is your chance to answer that question.
Maybe you do, maybe you don't, but until you try it and observe the results you will not be able to objectively answer the question.
Use this challenge as a chance to reset, reflect, and potentially develop healthier habits surrounding your alcohol consumption.
Benefits of Dry October.
Take this time to focus on self-care!
Explore alternative activities: Run, swim, read, walk, paint, draw, sing, dance. Go hiking, learn a new hobby, sport, sign up for a race and start training.
Discover new ways to socialize without relying on alcohol. Or while socializing find new drinks you too can partake in. The market is vast with NA options from NA beers, to adaptogen infused options.
Find your best new drink to enjoy while abstaining, take an alcohol free mixology class, or seek out zero proof social media mixologists crafting the best zero proof cocktails and try them at home.
A word of caution and love, don't set unrealistic goals and expectations of yourself.
Be gracious with yourself. From my own personal experience, it does take a little getting used to, alcohol is very much ingrained in our society, in a lot more subtle ways than we realize. But it's worth it. I promise you that.
It can be a transformative experience that allows you to gain a better understanding of your relationship with alcohol and its impact on your life and help you discover your true inner self.
Take it a day at a time, get all the help you need from friends and family to support your journey.
AND find online communities to follow.
Lastly, DON'T FORGET to Celebrate your achievements along the way!!!
Good luck on your Dry October journey!
