It's okay to change your drinking habits.
In addition to knowing why she even wanted to change her habits, Sebastian reminded herself about the. For example, she started becoming more anxious and hungover after consuming alcohol, so she was really focused on how avoiding it made her feel better. “Intentionality is feeling like this is a choice that I am making for myself,” she says. “I’m not doing it for anyone else—it’s from a place of self-empowerment.
“Too many of us go through years of waking up every morning saying, ‘I’m not going to drink today,’ and then breaking that rule,” says Mary Reid, 59, executive director of Moderation Management , a nonprofit that offers resources to help people reduce their alcohol consumption. If the goals you set for yourself aren’t working, then try to do something that feels easier. Maybe you decide to have only one drink on weeknights. From there, you can build up to more ambitious goals.
Melanie Cox, 47, created a list of guidelines around alcohol that she loosely follows. She doesn’t drink at concerts, by herself, and on first dates, and she has a two-drink limit. But she doesn’t always abide by these—and doesn’t feel guilty when that happens. “The rules are flexible, but I’m glad that I have them, compared to not having any framework to work with,” she tells SELF.
Hilary Sheinbaum, who is in her early 30s, says starting with a “dry” month—her way of saying she didn’t drink at all for 30 days—was helpful because she didn’t feel pressured to make it a permanent commitment. In 2017, Sheinbaum completed her first“I realized the impact that alcohol was having on my sleep and on my energy,” Sheinbaum tells SELF. After the initial month, Sheinbaum noticed that she naturally drank less alcohol and continued doing dry months every so often.
Cathryn Castle Garcia, 57, cut back on drinking when she realized that having more than one drink at a time was disrupting her sleep. Now she’ll savor a single drink, and if anyone pushes her to have more than that, she injects humor into her response. “To people that insist, ‘Come on, have another,’ I say, ‘When I wake up at 2 a.m., I’ll text you 100,000 times and make certain that you can join me in the fun of insomnia!’” Castle Garcia tells SELF.
