Like many who participate in this <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/12\/26\/well\/eat\/dry-january-guide.html\" title=\"\">monthlong sobriety challenge<\/a>, she reveled in the immediate benefits: She slept better, went to the gym more often and saved money.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But as February approached, Ms. Van Antwerp felt excited \u2014 \u201cmaybe overly excited,\u201d she admitted \u2014 to drink again. She would be traveling to Southeast Asia for a six-week trip, and she imagined sipping a glass of wine in Bangkok when she got off the plane.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI couldn\u2019t even wait that long,\u201d Ms. Van Antwerp, 40, said. \u201cI ended up drinking at the airport and getting too drunk right out of the gate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">While people like Ms. Van Antwerp tend to put thought and effort into planning for a month of sobriety (and slogging through it), they don\u2019t necessarily consider the off-ramp \u2014 and what they want to take away from the experience. \u201cThat\u2019s one of the most important parts of the month,\u201d said Gillian Tietz, host of the \u201cSober Powered\u201d podcast, \u201cand something a lot of people don\u2019t think too much about.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full\/10.1111\/dar.13625\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">research suggests<\/a> that people who participate in Dry January tend to be more concerned about their drinking habits during the rest of the year than those who don\u2019t. So we spoke to several addiction specialists and sober influencers about how to wind down the month and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/12\/23\/well\/dry-january-mindful-drinking.html\" title=\"\">embrace mindful drinking in the future<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-1u37br4 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-165000b9\">Reflect on your experience.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At its core, Dry January is all about gathering information about your relationship with alcohol, said Joseph Schacht, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine who studies treatment for alcohol and addictive disorders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI always encourage people to really check in with their bodies after any period of abstinence or reduced drinking,\u201d Dr. Schacht said. \u201cDoes your body feel better when you don\u2019t do this? If it does, that\u2019s a really important signal you should listen to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Van Antwerp, who runs the social media account Your Sober Pal, echoed the recommendation. Sober now for seven years, she recognizes that her first break from alcohol over a decade ago was a steppingstone on her path to a new relationship with alcohol.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI wish I had written about how I was feeling, what I was thinking, my mood, you know, how I was navigating certain situations without alcohol,\u201d she said. \u201cI wish I would have jotted down more about why I was reaching for a drink, so that I could better understand myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Experts are very clear that Dry January is not a replacement for treating <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.niaaa.nih.gov\/health-professionals-communities\/core-resource-on-alcohol\/alcohol-use-disorder-risk-diagnosis-recovery\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">alcohol use disorder<\/a>. But it can offer participants a physical and mental reset, and there is also evidence that most participants want to change their drinking habits beyond those 30 days. <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/26690637\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">A study<\/a> in 2016 found that subjects continued to drink less six months after the challenge than they did before.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Even if you are a moderate or sporadic drinker, you might ask yourself questions like \u201cWas I able to engage in the month in the way I envisioned?\u201d suggested Noah Emery, an assistant professor of psychology at Colorado State University with a specialization in substance use. Also: \u201cWhat did I learn about myself along the way?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Reflect on your accomplishments, even if you slipped up, Dr. Emery said. <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/psycnet.apa.org\/record\/2015-57039-001\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Research suggests<\/a> Dry January participants tend to feel more confident about their ability to make intentional drinking choices moving forward \u2014 whether or not they abstained the whole time.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-1u37br4 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-6d80e7b3\">Shake things up.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Alcohol is so embedded in our social fabric and in many of our routines that drinking can become \u201creflexive,\u201d Dr. Emery said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cDry January is an opportunity to step out of autopilot,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Think about the situations you tend to associate with drinking and consider how you might switch them up, said Ms. Tietz, who stopped drinking in 2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">If you\u2019re someone who usually pours a glass of wine right after work, might you instead reach for a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/08\/17\/well\/eat\/nonalcoholic-beverages-health-benefits.html\" title=\"\">nonalcoholic<\/a> drink, or try to find a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/09\/30\/well\/move\/an-awe-walk-might-do-wonders-for-your-well-being.html\" title=\"\">different relaxing habit<\/a>? Add that to your post-Dry January plan and stock up on nonalcoholic supplies ahead of time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">If you usually meet friends for dinner or happy hour, Ms. Tietz said, maybe go to a movie or have a coffee date instead. (Bonus: Mixing up how you socialize <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/06\/10\/well\/live\/friendship-refresh.html\" title=\"\">can also help bring you closer together.<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">You might also want to re-evaluate how much you drink after Dry January, as your tolerance may have become lower, Dr. Emery warned. \u201cDrinking the same amount you\u2019re used to is probably going to produce a different intoxication profile than you\u2019re used to,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">So if you start drinking again in February, think ahead about how you\u2019ll change your drinking habits. Dr. Emery said to sip water between drinks, check in with yourself, make sure you have a designated driver and so forth.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-1u37br4 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-d043299\">Set specific goals for your drinking.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Making a plan is an important part of <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2022\/09\/30\/well\/mindful-drinking-sober-october.html\" title=\"\">drinking more mindfully.<\/a> Ask yourself: \u201cWhat do I want to do for the rest of the year?\u201d Dr. Schacht said. He added that if your goal is to moderate your drinking, it is important to name that goal and track your consumption to hold yourself accountable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">You might consider abstaining for another 30 or 60 days, Ms. Tietz recommended. \u201cNo one wants to hear that!\u201d she added with a laugh. But in her experience, it can take more time to really experience the changes that can accompany abstinence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At 60 days without alcohol, \u201cI actually felt like I was waking up from a dream,\u201d Ms. Tietz said. \u201cIt was very noticeable when I could think clearly again. And that is when I could really understand what drinking was doing in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/24\/well\/dry-january-maintenance.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Laura Van Antwerp tried Dry January for the first time 11 years ago.
