We are all accustomed, and many participate, in sobriety at the first of the year, however a new trend has picked up, Damp . And before I researched the topic more, I had the thought, “why bother, give it up altogether or stay with your normal drinking habits”. But now that I am better read, I am fully on board with this idea of “damp” or occasionally drinking. I n fact, it seems that participating in “damp” drinking affords the opportunity to be more consistent with moderating alcohol consumption. Why? Because, for some, it tends to be a more realistic and attainable goal to achieve. I have seen people picking which days of the week they are going to drink based on their schedules and events planned, and sticking to it. It works well for them. Another idea is to consume 1 or 2 drinks and then choosing non alcoholic beverages and mocktails the remainder of the time. This latter option allows you the freedom to enjoy the events and participate in games and activities, but without adding any additional alcohol content. Research has shown that “alcohol has a biphasic effect” meaning there are both pleasant and unpleasant effects simultaneously. But the more you drink, the further away you move from the pleasant feelings and closer to the regrettable ones many of us have known and suffered from. So, having one or two drinks sounds most ideal, but what do you do, when at a wedding, party or event that lasts much longer than those one or two drinks takes to consume? Some suggest mixing mocktails throughout- 1 alcoholic beverage, 1 mocktail, and so on. There is, also, the “slip slowly” alternative. I would like to introduce the idea of an accountability partner. Someone who is with you, at the event, and insists, once you have reached your set limit, agreed upon prior to the occasion, that you cease drinking and carry on enjoying the night. All of this might sound more attainable than a completely dry month, or months. And as with everything, you are powerfully choosing for yourself what works best for you, and your body in this season of your life. Some of us here at Body Bonanza are opting for a damp month or two, some of us are going with a dry one, and others go damp all year long. Either way, accountability and support always resides here –. Every step of the way.
