What if giving up alcohol for one month wasn't about discipline…
but about discovering what's been numbing, draining, or quietly holding you back?

As 2026 begins, this episode explores Dry January, the rise of sober curiosity, and the subtle cultural shift that's changing how people think about drinking — especially within families impacted by addiction.

This conversation digs into:

• Why saying "no" to alcohol can feel harder than expected

• What happens when routine drinking disappears — physically and emotionally

• How one month can expose habits, pressures, and truths we rarely question

• And why more people are choosing clarity, health, and presence over "just one drink"

No ultimatums. No shame. No all-or-nothing thinking.
Just an honest look at what alcohol gives — and what it takes.

If you've ever wondered why drinking feels normal, but not always right,
this episode might change how you see January — and maybe the year ahead.
