Would you recommend trying Dry January? What are some of the benefits?

I definitely recommend trying a sober month if you’ve never done one before! First, it’s good for your health! Alcohol holds no nutritional value and is thus “empty calories.” However, I do of course drink myself and enjoy the taste of wine or a cocktail. Additionally, some people rely on alcohol to help them get through social situations. It’s nice to recognize if it is in fact being used as a crutch and to instead shift your perspective.
