44. After Dry January: Taking a Break vs. Making Lasting Changes


Listen Later

Dry January is almost over. What next?

Whether you completed Dry January, stopped early, or didn’t attempt it at all, this episode will help you decide how to move forward, especially if your goal is to change your drinking in the long term.

I talk about the difference between taking a break from drinking and making sustainable changes to your relationship with alcohol. While taking a break can be helpful on its own, if you want to create change that lasts, you need a different approach.

I cover:

  • what often happens after Dry January ends (including the rebound effect);
  • the difference between a reset and changing the system underneath your drinking habits;
  • how starting small—by working on one trigger—creates momentum if you're trying to drink less overall. 

My new coaching offer, the Trigger Breakthrough, can help you do exactly that: change your drinking pattern in one specific situation where you normally drink more than you want to. Get all the details and apply here: https://www.adrianacloud.com/trigger-breakthrough

If you don’t want to go back to drinking on autopilot after January and you want the next steps on your sober or sober-curious journey to feel easier, this episode will help you see a clearer path forward.
