You do not need to have a problem with alcohol for it to be creating problems in your life
Dry January might seem like the perfect time to take a break from alcohol, but Amanda Kuda is here to tell you that it’s not as simple as it sounds. In this episode of Unbottled Potential, Amanda shares her years of experience living alcohol-free and coaching others, shedding light on the three biggest pitfalls of Dry January: false ease, false confidence, and unrealistic expectations.
Amanda explains that the quiet social calendar in January can create a misleading sense of ease, making it seem easier to avoid alcohol than it really is. This can lead to a false sense of confidence, where you might think you’ve got it all under control after just 30 days. But the real kicker is the unrealistic expectations many have about the benefits they’ll see in such a short time.
Amanda advises extending your commitment beyond January for lasting change and introduces her program, Awaken Without Alcohol, for those looking for deeper support. Her practical tips and heartfelt advice will help you navigate the tricky waters of Dry January and beyond. If you're serious about changing your relationship with alcohol, this episode is a must-listen.
