101: 10 Things You Need to Know Before Starting Your Dry Month Challenge

Mindful Drinking & Moderation in Midlife: Low No Drinker Podcast

In this episode, I’m sharing 10 practical strategies for not just surviving but thriving during any alcohol-free challenge, whether it's Dry January, Sober October, or your own personal experiment.
Drawing from years of trial and error plus insights from the Low No Drinker community, I cover everything from prioritising sleep and movement to exploring the brilliant world of alcohol alternatives.
This isn't about white-knuckling through 31 days – it's about creating a proper toolkit for success whilst being kind to yourself along the way.
