Planning to do dry January this year?

Congratulations- research indicates that you are in good company. You may experience an improvement in cardiac and liver function, a decrease in blood pressure, better sleep and digestion, increased clarity and more agile cognitive functioning. Relationships and
mood regulation can be less challenging; you may experience more calmness and a more positive perspective. There may be a period of adjustment and some discomfort- which NPR refers to as “hangover symptoms”. That would seem to indicate a pretty
significant impact for something that is not classified as a problem issue.

So- the question remains-if drinking alcohol is the cause of these negative consequences that taking a month or two off is worth some significant effort- then how is it not enough of a problem to consider eliminating it altogether? I completely support every adult individual’s right to make a decision about what they choose to drink- but if these benefits are compelling, and the potential downside exposure is clear, then maybe a new decision is a worthy intention for 2025.

It’s eating disorder awareness week and I just haven’t had the juice to come up with an original post. The eating disorder world, professionally, feels awful to me. I’m still appalled at how discriminatory people are toward those in larger bodies. I don’t know how often I have to say that you can’t tell whether someone is healthy or not by looking at them. Every day I tell at least one client that they can say no to being weighed while they are afraid of the repercussions. And that eating disorders really do come in all shapes and sizes. Somehow this isn’t getting through though. I have clients every day who cry are terrified of getting better from their eating disorders because they don’t want to be “fat”. I’m a very skilled therapist in my own recovery, but trying to convince someone that it’s ok to end up in a body that many would rather be dead in than live in feels impossible sometimes. I have had my own struggles coming to terms with where my body currently sits in recovery. Just one of many examples of how as therapists we face our own challenges while trying to fight for our clients. Sigh. It’s exhausting. I know there are warriors out there also doing this work and trying to make some changes, I’m just incredibly worn out by it all. Though of course, I’ll never stop advocating for change and I’m so grateful for those along side me. ❤️
