Dry January: A Fresh Start with Mary Reid and the Sinclair Method
“For me, it's a time to kind of sit back and finally take a breath. But, like you, I stopped doing new Year's resolutions quite a while back. They want to feel the benefits of taking a break. So if you're an individual that sets herself up that I have a goal and I have to meet that percent.”
Feeling the need for a reset after the holiday season? Mary Reid, Executive Director of Moderation Management, joins Jenny Williamson on the Options Save Lives stream to chat about Dry January. This episode dives into how taking a month off from alcohol can kickstart healthier habits and give your body a much-needed break.
But it's not just about abstinence; Reid and Williamson explore how Dry January can fit into broader harm reduction strategies like the Sinclair Method, which focuses on moderation rather than complete abstinence. They share their personal journeys, revealing how this challenge has helped them reassess their relationship with alcohol. The episode also highlights the importance of peer support and community in achieving your goals.
Whether you're looking to cut back or just curious about new approaches to drinking less, this conversation offers practical advice and inspiration.
