Is There a Downside to Doing a Dry January?


Listen Later

Episode 272 

With a brand new year upon us, millions of people worldwide are either contemplating a Dry January or have already signed up to participate, but why? 

Why take January off from drinking alcohol? Are there benefits? Or a downside? 

In this episode, I talk about my experience with my first "Dry January" and why I chose to do one, which ultimately I learned wasn't for the benefits. 

I also talk about ways to decide if taking January off is a good idea for you and the key questions to ask yourself before you start, and during your break.  

Let's face it: there are downsides to everything we do in life if we choose to look at them. But, there are always "upsides," especially when you distance yourself from alcohol.
