Why take on #LeDryJanuary?

Not drinking alcohol for a month and radically changing your relationship with alcohol can be scary. But this effort is a real benefit for your physical and mental health.

Here are the documented benefits:

• - 71% of participants sleep better*
• - 88% of participants save money*
• - 71% of participants improved their ability to concentrate*

Here are six tips for taking on this challenge with total peace of mind.

1. Keep alcohol out of reach

If you want to give yourself the best chance of sticking with this alcohol-free period, the first step is to remove alcohol from your home.

2. Plan ahead for moments when alcohol will be around

Dry January doesn’t mean giving up social moments. You simply need to arm yourself with iron discipline and learn to say “no”.

If the chance to drink comes up after meeting friends, at a business dinner, or during a family meal, resist the temptation.

3.Treat yourself well

As a reminder, 88% of participants save money, which means you’ll have a budget to treat yourself and reward this effort. For example, you could start a savings pot for a trip and picture that trip as a goal to reach. It’s important to stimulate the reward circuit to make it through the whole month.

Rather than a glass of wine or a beer, buy yourself or do something else that makes you feel good.

Craving chocolate? Have some chocolate. Want to watch that film for the eleventh time? Go for it!

4. Get support

Doing it alone isn’t very motivating, but in a group it quickly becomes a motivating challenge.

Gather a group of friends to motivate each other, and meet up over an alcohol-free drink.

5. Fill up your schedule

In January, the cold weather is here and the days are short… and your activities may be even more limited because of COVID-19.

It’s time to use this precious time to learn new things, take up new hobbies, and maybe even start a new project.

Have you always dreamed of learning to dance or play an instrument?

This is probably the right time… Especially since with the money you’ll save, you might be able to pay for a few lessons! Or maybe even a new instrument.

6. Take a food supplement

A complete natural detox that stimulates your body’s elimination organs to get rid of the toxic metabolites you’ve built up.

HANG-OVER can be used at a rate of 1 tablet a day for 20 days, to give your body what it needs to detoxify.

It helps you regain energy, rehydrate your body, support the elimination of alcohol, reduce oxidative stress and improve sleep quality.
