Tribe Sober - inspiring an alcohol free life!

14 Tips for a Dry January!

Listen Later

After running Tribe Sober for nearly 10 years and helping thousands of people to ditch the drink and embrace alcohol-free living I've learned a thing or two. My biggest insight has been that sharing our stories around alcohol is the most powerful way we can help others - that's why the heart of this podcast is recovery stories.

However this week I'm doing a solo episode - 10 reasons to do an alcohol free January - and 14 tips to get you through.

In This Episode

  • REASONS TO DO AN ALCOHOL FREE JANUARY
  • You've got a great "reason" to not be drinking when people ask!
  • A dry month is a great way to test your dependency - if you can't get through a month without booze then you need to make some changes
  • Alcohol is so toxic that just taking a month off will have significant health benefits
  • Alcohol is linked to liver disease and 7 different types of cancer - 1 glass of wine will raise your risk of breast cancer by 15%
  • Alcohol will weaken our immune systems - and put us more at risk of becoming infected with Covid
  • 20% of regular drinkers will become dependent over the years - drinking more than a bottle and a half of wine a week may damage your health
  • A month off alcohol will reduce your anxiety, freshen up your looks, help you lose weight and enable you to get some good quality sleep
  • Making a donation to our January fundraiser will give you a dopamine hit (giving makes you feel good) and enable you to receive online and community support for 31 days - you can sign up here
  • TIPS TO GET YOU THROUGH
  • Shake up your daily routine and exercise every day
  • Be ready to cope with your emotions - if you've been numbing your feelings with alcohol they will come to the surface
  • Use a journal to track your progress, note your triggers and process your emotions
  • Listen to music, make a soundtrack for your January Challenge - a real mood changer
  • Have your go-to drinks -drinknil.co.za are offering 10% discount on all their alcohol free drinks for people doing our Challenge
  • Find your tribe - its hard to do this alone - check out our membership program here
