In this episode of The Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, Molly Watts tackles the question: should you take a 30-day break from alcohol? Molly, a seasoned author and coach, dives into how her typical advice of creating a 'doable drink plan' meshes with the idea of a 30-day challenge like Sober October. She clears up any confusion about whether she thinks there’s harm in doing a 30-day alcohol-free break (spoiler: she doesn’t).
Molly explores the benefits of short-term abstinence, including better sleep, reduced anxiety, and clearer skin, among other physical improvements. But it’s not just about the physical benefits; she emphasises the mental reset that comes from taking a break from alcohol and how it can help rewire your brain's reward system. Molly also discusses the pitfalls of an all-or-nothing mentality and stresses the importance of progress over perfection.
She shares personal anecdotes and experiences from her coaching sessions to illustrate how even small steps towards reducing alcohol intake can lead to significant improvements in your life. Whether you’re ready to take a full 30 days off or just want to incorporate more alcohol-free days into your routine, Molly offers practical advice and encouragement. So, why not give it a listen and see how you can make meaningful changes in your relationship with alcohol?
