Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? Molly Watts dives into the concept of a 'Mostly Dry January' and why it might just be the perfect fit for you. Instead of striving for an all-or-nothing approach, Molly suggests embracing progress over perfection. She explains that even a 'mostly dry' month can have significant benefits for your health and well-being.
By focusing on rewiring your drinking habits through positive reinforcement, you'll find that building a peaceful relationship with alcohol is more rewarding than chasing a perfect streak. Molly shares insights from behavioural science, like temptation bundling, to help replace the rewards associated with drinking. This episode isn't about strict rules but rather about creating alcohol-free rituals that feel good. So, if you've already had a drink or two this month, don't worry—you haven't failed.
It's all part of the process of changing how you think about drinking. With Molly's guidance, you'll learn that small, consistent steps are key to sustainable change. Ready to start your own journey? Why not give 'Mostly Dry January' a try and see where it takes you?
