After Dry January — What Next?
Dry January isn’t the finish line.
It’s feedback.
In this final episode, we explore what to do with everything you’ve noticed, learned and felt over the past month — without rules, pressure, or “shoulds.”
This is about turning awareness into self-trust, and making choices that support the life you actually want to live.
Not perfectly.
Just gently.
Just honestly.
- How you feel now compared to before you took a break
- What surprised you most
- What’s become non-negotiable going forward
- Why “just cutting back” can sometimes feel harder than taking a break
- Why clarity is more powerful than rules
- And how alcohol can quietly become optional again
- Does alcohol feel optional in my life right now?
- Do I drink because I want to — or because it’s expected?
- Does alcohol help me unwind — or does it borrow tomorrow’s calm?
- How would my evenings feel without it?
- What might I gain from another short break?
You’re not finishing something.
You’re discovering something.
More clarity.
More energy.
More calm.
More you.
Write down what you want your “new normal” to protect — sleep, mornings, mood, self-trust — and let those become your compass.
- UK Chief Medical Officers recommend no more than 14 units per week to keep health risks lower — but there is no completely “safe” level
- Recent research suggests even moderate drinking (more than 7 drinks per week) increases the risk of premature death
You didn’t quit something.
You discovered something.
