Dry January is a great part of The Year, sets off The New Years, it aligns with your new Year's resolution and it's an amazing time for anyone that may be sober, curious or anyone that may be looking for a healthy lifestyle change to try sobriety, and maybe this could lead to more, longer recovery.
Are you ready to tackle Dry January but unsure where to start? In this episode of 'Sober is Dope', POP Buchanan, a decade-long sober and recovered alcoholic, offers a treasure trove of practical advice to help you navigate the month without alcohol. With his holistic approach to recovery, Buchanan blends traditional methods like therapy and AA with spiritual practices such as prayer and meditation.
His tips are designed not just to get you through Dry January, but to inspire lasting change in your relationship with alcohol. Buchanan's advice includes keeping your motivations front and center, sharing your goals with friends for accountability, and planning ahead for social situations where alcohol might be present. He emphasizes the importance of having a plan, whether it's bringing your own non-alcoholic beverage or practicing how to say no.
He also highlights the value of engaging in activities that bring joy and keep your mind off drinking, like exercising, meditating, or even taking a hot shower. Expect slip-ups? Buchanan says that's okay. The key is to be prepared and not let a small setback derail your progress. Keeping a diary, phoning a friend, and understanding your triggers can make a huge difference.
He also suggests enlisting a sober buddy for mutual support and eliminating alcohol from your home to reduce temptation. Buchanan's tips go beyond just avoiding alcohol. He talks about staying hydrated, eating foods that boost dopamine levels, and replacing the traditional happy hour with other mood-boosting activities. By following these guidelines, you'll not only survive Dry January but thrive in it, setting the stage for a healthier lifestyle.
Tune in to this episode of 'Sober is Dope' for a blend of empathy, expertise, and actionable advice that can help you make the most of Dry January and beyond.
