Changing lives through compassion, support, and education in Bartholomew County, IN

With an initial focus on opioids, ASAP is working to develop and implement a data-driven system focused on substance abuse prevention, early intervention, treatment, recovery, and enforcement that substantially reduces the prevalence of substance use disorder (SUD) in Bartholomew County and surrounding areas and helps those with SUD achieve recovery and become or return to being productive, contributing members of their communities.

It's - Day 9! If you're still in it, you're building real momentum.

Here's what's happening inside your body: your skin is clearing up, your energy is stabilizing, and your brain chemistry is recalibrating. Even if you don't feel it yet, trust that the changes are happening.

This is the point where negative self-talk may be kicking in, especially if you've slipped up—things like "What's the point," or "I already had that first drink, so I might as well have another."

Let's combat that together.

What's one kind thing you can say to yourself today? Practice positive self-talk in the comments!

It's - Day 8! Week two starts now. 💪

Let's talk about what alcohol actually does to your body. When you drink, alcohol depresses your central nervous system and slows it down—similar to an injured brain. This explains the poor decision-making, the inability to form memories, the "what happened last night?"

But here's what we don't talk about enough: Why would we voluntarily dull our senses?

Your senses aren't just there to keep you safe—they're there to help you experience life to its fullest. The smell of fresh rain. The taste of that perfect meal. Hearing your loved ones laugh. The peace you feel when you walk outside on a quiet morning.
Alcohol robs you of these moments. This month, you're getting them back.

What's one thing you're experiencing more fully now that your senses aren't dulled? Share it below!

It's - Day 7! 🎉

Congratulations. You've made it to the end of your first week!

Here's a fascinating question: Why is alcohol the only drug where people demand an explanation when you DON'T use it? Think about it.

No one corners you at a party asking "Why aren't you doing co***ne tonight? Are you okay? Just have one line, don't be boring." But with alcohol? Society has normalized it so completely that abstaining requires a defense. You're the weird one for NOT consuming a substance classified by the WHO as a Group 1 carcinogen—the same category as asbestos and to***co.

How did we get here? The alcohol industry spent decades engineering social acceptability, borrowing tactics straight from Big Tobacco's playbook.

Have you felt pressure to explain your Dry January choice? How did you respond? Share your experience below!

It's - Day 6! Almost one week in. How are you feeling?

Most of us have tried to use willpower to control our drinking—and most of us have also failed miserably. Can you relate?

Here's why: Willpower is like a battery. Every decision you make throughout the day drains it. By evening, when you're faced with the choice to drink or not, your battery might be running on empty.

That's why this month isn't about white-knuckling it. It's about reframing your relationship with alcohol so you're not constantly fighting yourself.

Here's another thing: boredom often triggers drinking because we've been taught that boredom is bad. But what if boredom became an opportunity instead?

When you feel bored this month, what's one thing you could do instead of reaching for a drink? Let's brainstorm together!

It’s Day 5 of ! Today I’ll talk about some tips for success, how to deal with cravings and the truth behind alcohol and stress. Whether you are dedicated to an alcohol-free month or just curious, I welcome you!

01/05/2026

🎥 It's day 5 of and our FIRST LIVE COACHING SESSION is happening TODAY at noon!

Let's talk about cravings—both the physical and emotional kind. The good news is that alcohol only stays in your system for a few days. The bad news is that emotional/psychological cravings can be triggered for years to come.

Let's talk about how to best manage these cravings. One trap many people fall into is the "All or Nothing" mindset. Have you ever told yourself you absolutely cannot have something ever again? How did that work out?

Bring your questions, your doubts, or just your curious self. You don't have to do this alone.

What questions do you have about managing cravings? Drop them below and we'll address them in today's live session!

It's - Day 4! Discomfort is probably showing up by now—and that's okay. It might be physical (headaches, restlessness) or emotional (anxiety, irritability), or both. Physical and emotional discomfort often go hand in hand.

Here's the key: if you can learn to embrace discomfort instead of running from it, you're much more likely to succeed.

Think about it—we've all taken bad-tasting medicine to get better. We endure discomfort when we know it's leading somewhere worthwhile.

So what's YOUR "why"? What are you hoping to gain from this month? Drop it in the comments!

It's - Day 3! And your body is already starting to recalibrate.

The first few days can feel challenging, but here's what's happening behind the scenes: your liver is thanking you, your sleep is starting to improve, and your brain is relearning how to find joy without alcohol.

You've probably heard the breakup line, "It's not you...it's me." Well, when it comes to alcohol, you can confidently flip the script: "It's not me...it's YOU."

Alcohol is to blame for the hangovers, the cravings, the indiscretions. It's time to take back control from this wicked, literally mind-altering poison.

Here's your challenge for today: Write a "Dear John" letter to alcohol. Feel free to thank it for the good times, but don't be afraid to get petty and really lay into it about the ways it's done you wrong. Be as funny (or as serious) as you want—you don't have to show it to anyone! This is about YOU taking back the power.

What's one thing you'd tell alcohol in your breakup letter? Share it in the comments (if you're comfortable)—let's reclaim our stories together!

It's - Day 2!

Ever notice how hard it is to steer left if your head is turned right? Physically and mentally, we tend to move in the direction we’re looking.

Today, take a moment to reframe your focus. Where do you really want to go—not just for these 31 days, but long-term? If you’re craving more energy, clarity, or calm, those are powerful destinations. Let’s start pointing your compass in that direction.

Stay steady. Stay curious. You’re on your way.
