Why take up #LeDryJanuary?

Not drinking alcohol for a month and radically changing your relationship with alcohol can be frightening. But making the effort is a real benefit to 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 tackling this challenge with peace of mind.

 

1. Keep away from alcohol

If you want to optimize your chances of making it through this drinking-free period, the first step is to eliminate alcohol from your home. 

 

2. Anticipate when alcohol will be available

Dry January doesn't mean no social time. All you need is iron discipline and the ability to say "no".

If the opportunity arises to consume after meeting friends, at a business dinner or during a family meal, resist the temptation. 

 

3.Treat yourself yourself

As a reminder, 88% of participants save money, which means you'll have a budget to treat yourself and reward yourself for this effort. For example, you could start a travel fund and visualize the trip as a goal to be achieved. It's important to stimulate the reward circuit to last the whole month. 

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

Fancy some chocolate? Have some chocolate. Want to watch this movie for the eleventh time? Go for it!

 

4.support 

Alone it's not very stimulating, but in a group it quickly becomes a motivating challenge. 

Get a group of friends together to motivate each other, and get together over an alcohol-free drink. 

 

5. filling in your timetable

In January, it's cold and the days are short... and your activities are even more limited because of the COVID-19.

It's time to use this precious time to learn new things, have new hobbies and why not embark on a new project. 

Have you always wanted to learn to dance or play an instrument?

Now's probably a good time... Especially as the money you'll be saving could pay for a few lessons! And why not buy a new instrument? 

6. Take a dietary supplement

A total natural detox that will stimulate your emunctories to get rid of the toxic metabolites you've accumulated.

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

It boosts energy, rehydrates the body, helps eliminate alcohol, reduces oxidative stress and improves sleep quality.
