Dry January: Is It Worth the Hype?

So yeah, labels can be dangerous and they are reductionism, albeit that for some people it is useful.
Ever thought about giving Dry January a go but wondered if it's really worth it? In this episode of 'Sort Your Sh*t Out', comedian Ellie Gibson and coach Stephanie Chivers dive into this very question. They bring in academic researcher James Morris, who shares his unique journey from abstinence back to drinking and discusses why we need to rethink our stories around alcohol and addiction.
The trio chat about the ups and downs of Dry January, why many of us revert to old habits, and whether different substances need different strategies for quitting. Plus, they explore the psychology behind our drinking habits and why being honest about our motivations is so important. If you're curious about the benefits of Dry January or looking for some thoughtful insights on managing your drinking, this episode is a must-listen.
