Episode 29
World Without Wine - Your guide to alcohol-free living!
After running WWW for 5 years and helping hundreds of people to ditch the drink and embrace alcohol-free living I've learned a thing or two. My biggest insight has been that sharing our stories around alcohol is the most powerful way we can help others - that's why the heart of this podcast is recovery stories.
This week I'm doing a solo episode - 10 reasons to do an alcohol free January - and 14 tips to get you through
In this Episode
- REASONS TO DO AN ALCOHOL FREE JANUARY
- Here in South Africa alcohol has been banned for a few weeks so we can't buy any!
- A dry month is a great way to test your dependency - if you can't get through a month without booze then you need to make some changes
- Alcohol is so toxic that just taking one month off alcohol will have significant health benefits
- Alcohol is linked to liver disease and 7 different types of cancer - 1 glass of wine raises your risk of breast cancer by 15%
- Alcohol will weaken our immune system - and put us more at risk of getting infected with Covid
- 20% of regular drinkers will become dependent over the years - drinking more than a bottle and a half of wine a week can damage your health
- A month off alcohol will reduce your anxiety, freshen up your looks, help you to lose weight and enable you to get some high quality sleep
- Making a donation to our January fundraiser will give you a dopamine hit - another reason to donate! the link is here
