September 2021 Blog Sober September

Well, it’s a new year; School year, that is. Kids are headed back to school. You’re grabbing an extra layer at night. The long days of summer are fading.

The summer months are well-known for various drinking opportunities, 30% of adults admit to binge drinking in the past 30 days. This would mean a woman drinks more than four drinks per night and a man imbibes more than five. 

Want to save money, lose weight, sleep better, and feel sharper mentally? Here’s your chance to give your liver a good cleanse...

Try indulging in Sober September.

Sounds hard?

The first few days may be the toughest.

Engage the help of a buddy. It’s easier to accomplish anything when you share a goal with a friend or family member. 

See that as your intention, to make it September 1-30 without alcohol. 

You’ll love enjoying all of your precious weekends without a headache or a dry mouth. 

Have you ever noticed how conversations can go south after a few cocktails, especially when your buttons are being pushed by someone? 

During Sober September, sit back and watch conversation dynamics.

They’re so different when you haven’t been drinking.

Stay above the fray. 

Be the game-changer. 

Be the consciously sober friend or family member. 

Change the dynamics. 

Studies have shown that after a person doesn’t drink for a month, they often drink less when they resume having a beer, cocktail, or glass of wine.
