In this week's episode, Julie is joined by her new co-host Grace (she/her), and Peer Recovery Support specialist Amelia Shelly (they/them) to talk about Dry January. 

Dry January is a health promotion disguised as a popular challenge or commitment to be alcohol-free for a month. It's gained popularity as a way for people to cut back their drinking after the holiday season, reflect and moderate their use and reap benefits in their health, socially and financially. It can also be a more socially comfortable entry-point to sobriety for those who are curious about recovering from alcohol abuse.

Julie, Grace, and Amelia discuss the narratives behind Dry January, harm reduction, the difference between sobriety and recovery, overcoming norms and stigmas, and the different approaches for support.
