Dry January is so 2020, having a Sober Month is much more 2021. We're going to throw out the outdated notion that being sober is dull and instead work together to communicate that sober is cool.
I'll start this off by saying I'm not 100% teetotal, I'm what Ruby Warrington calls "Sober Curious". I spend a large portion of my year being entirely alcohol-free, normally for months at a time. My first fully "dry" month was January last year (2020), I ticked through a few catchups with friends, the first post-work drinks, my sister's bottomless brunch and countless meals out without touching a drop of alcohol and it felt great. I kept up the trend and continued to take months off throughout the year, I was one of those people who started running, kept eating healthy and stopped drinking during lockdown. I’ve since regressed but want to kick back on with it in the new year.
