While this is a sobering call to action, there is no denying that sober curiosity has increased recently. From Dry January to more brands creating alcohol-free beverages to the rise of mainstream mocktails, now more than ever even casual drinkers are becoming sober curious and examining their relationship with alcohol.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last year in <a href=\"https:\/\/fitbottomedgirls.com\/2024\/11\/podcast-episode-146-the-impact-of-alcohol-on-women-in-midlife-with-krysty-krywko\/\">Episode 146<\/a> of the FBG Podcast, Sobriety Coach, and Founder of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/purpledogsober.com\/\" class=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sober Wild<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Krysty Krywko, Ed.D, joined our EIC Alison for an interview on sobriety. Today we are continuing this conversation with Krysty. Dry January has passed but certainly not the questions about what we can do if we are thinking about a sober (completely alcohol free), or damp (a reduction in alcohol consumption), life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tam: Should we approach drinking as all or nothing, especially if we\u2019re sober curious?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Krysty: I think it\u2019s a very personal decision, but if you\u2019re any kind of a regular drinker (meaning three or four nights a week \u201cjust to unwind\u201d) then alcohol is impacting the way you feel \u2013 mentally, emotionally, and physically \u2013 your body just doesn\u2019t know there\u2019s another way. If you\u2019re not drinking during the week, but then drinking a couple of bottles of wine over the weekend, you never really get the chance to see how your body and mind reacts to no alcohol. Anna Lembke, in her book, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Dopamine-Nation-Finding-Balance-Indulgence\/dp\/1524746746\/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1ER3N2GR119SX&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.zHSDmXDw0zRM-BzS0qqNobxl4RHGuckIx-_lae2ha3Zdy0S0VIZovm3YNHaXmruf0CoYTX5-eYqZnmlioa7ZKTPkzgZGb9rVeh-PKLj0xok0-ZxJfTUjuVVyFL8ErqPFxLcFioliB1S0YJs_X-sicHfTab32kbF7Jj1EspBK2Pu65iHZmbQvKG7LN8_XGXZjepZz-3O0EKM96KNF-42XZwJOaNJc4qJjkCgCYraItz8.qiKlMIVGsFUUGWaJzAqx3eOX1Hh8pMHN2jk2wuDalzY&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=dopamine+nation&amp;qid=1738028633&amp;sprefix=dopamine+%2Caps%2C109&amp;sr=8-1\" class=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> talks about how \u201cabstaining from our drug of choice for at least four weeks gives clarifying behaviors. Insight that simply is not possible while we continue to use.\u201d In other words, you have no idea how shitty you really feel when you\u2019re using a substance that\u2019s making you feel shitty. It usually takes a few weeks for your body to adjust to the fact that you\u2019re no longer consuming a toxic substance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><b>Tam: Are there considerations\/best practices to go from Dry January to more of a Damp February and beyond?\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Krysty: So, I don\u2019t really know the answer to that question, it really depends on what your motivation was for Dry January. Was the plan to just see if you could make it without drinking for 30 days? Or were you looking for real health benefits? Or did you realize that your drinking has increased over the past few years and you know you needed to take a break?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moderation, which is really what Damp February is all about, doesn\u2019t work for a lot of people. If you spend a lot of time bargaining with yourself whenever alcohol is involved, which leads to a lot of \u201crules\u201d around your drinking, you might want to take a step back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might not even be aware of these rules. They\u2019ve just become part of your inner chatter. That chatter might sound like this:<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m not going to drink by myself.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No drinking before 5:00 p.m.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No hard alcohol during the week<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m only going to drink white wine (or beer, or vodka, etc.)<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I can\u2019t have more than two drinks on a week night.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I can\u2019t drink more than two nights in a row.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The end days of my drinking were filled with elaborate and arcane rules that were constantly shifting as I broke one after another. I was letting myself down daily, and that kind of self-disappointment was like a constant stream of micro-cuts to my soul.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take a moment and think about why you\u2019re putting so many rules around your drinking. You might just decide that it\u2019s no longer worth it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><b>Tam: If someone is reading this thinking \u201cI do not have a problem with my alcohol consumption but want to take a more mindful approach to what I eat\/drink,\u201d what questions should be explored when thinking about alcohol consumption?\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Krysty: One of the first things we need to do is move away from the language around drinking and the belief that there are \u201cproblem drinkers\u201d and then everyone else. This leads to shame, stigma, and judgement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A much more useful, and realistic, model to use when it comes to talking about alcohol is the idea of drinking occurring on a spectrum. That is where the idea of \u201cgray area drinker\u201d emerged from, which encompasses everyone from the every-now-and-then drinker to those who are physically addicted to alcohol. The beauty of this model is that you don\u2019t need to hit any sort of a rock bottom before you can explore your relationship with alcohol, you get to decide at any point on the spectrum what is right for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re ready to get honest with the role alcohol plays in your life, I would suggest sitting down with a pen and paper and answering the following questions. Get curious about yourself, and take the time to answer honestly. Don\u2019t cloud your responses with shame, or judgement, or what your bestie is going to think. This is about you and the one life that you have, and whether or not you want a toxic substance to play a role in the creation of that life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is alcohol still working for me?<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How is alcohol making me feel?<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What areas of my life has alcohol taken over?<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does drinking align with the person I am now?<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What would \u201cfuture you\u201d tell \u201cpresent you\u201d in this situation?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><b>Tam: What if our friends have gone back to drinking after Dry January, but we are trying to continue. Do you have suggestions\/recommendations for how to make this part of my lifestyle with my drinking friends?\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Krysty: You might need to find new friends \u2013 haha. But, seriously, if your friends truly respect and support you in the decisions you make in your life, then it shouldn\u2019t be a problem. But, if they\u2019re continually trying to push you to start drinking again, whining that you\u2019re not fun anymore, or that one shot of tequila won\u2019t do any harm, then you might need to reconsider who you\u2019re spending time with. You need to figure out for yourself what you want to do with the time that you have, and the people you spend it with.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, if your friend group is heavily immersed in drinking culture \u2013 meaning most social activities revolve around alcohol \u2013 then you might need to find some new peeps that like to do different things.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><b>Tam: Any favorite \u201cdrink\u201d hacks to replace that Friday night cocktail?\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Krysty: I am the most basic sober person around \u2013 and I\u2019m happy with drinking a seltzer on my couch to unwind after a busy week. But, I know that people have different needs, and I get that in the early days of going alcohol-free you might want something a little more exciting. Luckily, the alcohol-free market is on fire! There are so many products on the market \u2013 think flavored seltzers, sparkling teas, alcohol-free beers, wines, and spirits, kombuchas \u2013 I really could go on and on. I am continually impressed at the places where I find alcohol-free drinks \u2013 Target, Trader Joe\u2019s, Whole Foods, regular grocery stores, and local alcohol-free bottle shops are starting to offer such a wide variety. My only caution is be intentional when using alcohol-free products, especially things like alcohol-free wine or beer. If you\u2019re downing a bottle of alcohol-free wine most nights of the week, it\u2019s kind of like ripping off one bandage and putting on another, and you might want to explore why you\u2019re stuck in the same behaviors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did you do Dry January this year and maintain a dry or damp February?
