Have you tried taking an extended break from drinking?  Tune in to this week's episode as Molly Watts details the five benefits she is noticing while participating in #Dryuary. 

There are scientific reasons that taking a break is good for you and Molly shares both science and her own experience from January's successful month off alcohol. 

Molly discusses her own journey and why taking a break in the beginning was not something that she even considered and why doing it now has proved so beneficial. 

Reason #1:  You'll sleep better.
