Experts reveal the little-known hack that’ll make you stick to Dry January
As the calendar turns to a fresh start, many people set ambitious New Year’s resolutions. Some commit to exercising before work, journaling each morning, or cutting back on screen time. Others embrace a growing trend known as Dry January—a personal challenge to abstain from alcohol throughout the month of January.
Dry January offers a unique opportunity to reset your habits, reflect on your relationship with alcohol, and reap the physical and mental health benefits of taking a break from drinking. Whether your goal is to improve your overall well-being, explore a healthier lifestyle, or simply challenge yourself, staying alcohol-free for 31 days can be both rewarding and transformative.
To help you succeed in your Dry January journey, Dr. Ryan Wade, Director of Addiction Services and the Dialectical Behavioral Therapy for Substances Residential Program at Silver Hill, shares practical strategies and expert insights.
