“Gin and soda, with a lime, please.”
My cocktail of choice, if you’ve been with me socially, or at a corporate event, I’ve undoubtedly had one in my hand.
It was strange to place a different order last night.
“Club soda, with a lime, please.”
In just 6 short days I’ve become keenly aware of how often alcohol shows up in my life...which is exactly why I decided to give Dry January a shot - pun intended!
Never a believer in resolutions, I much prefer shorter-term challenges rooted in curiosity - and pushing my own limits.
What would it be like to _______?
How would I feel if I didn’t _______?
Would I really be able to stop _______?
In years past, it was eating vegan (which stuck) and wearing the same dress for 30 days (#fail).
If it’s true that growth comes when you leave your comfort zone, then I’m growing!
Love to know: Are you participating in a Sober January challenge? Or have you resolved to re-assess something else in your life? How’s it going? Check in with me in the comments below!
P.S. My choice to abstain from alcohol is just that - but struggles with alcohol aren’t a joke. If you need help, please reach out: 1-800-662-HELP
