They'll have one or two drinks and then they'll pause and then they may have another drink.
So it's a mindfulness approach.
It is not a moral failure if somebody cannot moderate.
So I look at all of these tools as information gathering.
I gave up drinking every Lent for 40 days.
That was big in my family.
Dry January.
Can't be an alcoholic.
Look, I can quit.
Yeah.
If I'm not shaking and don't need a drink the next day, I don't have a problem.
If I can give it up, I don't have a problem.
That is a misconception.
The idea behind the alcohol use disorder is that once we start, we have a hard time stopping.
So it's about what happens when we do pick up.
And oftentimes people who do abstain, whether it's dry January or sober October or dry July that is trending and people are using this as like a health conscious approach, might go back on Easter if it's 40 days of Lent and be off to the races and pick up right where they left off.
So there is caution in trying some of those things.
And it is always important to have some supplemental behaviors, too, in terms of if five o'clock is a time that you would pour that drink when you get home from work, maybe you reach out to somebody and ask if they want to go for a walk for 30 minutes.
So it's a more healthy behavior and it's something that you're actually thinking about and planning where a lot of times pouring a glass of wine can be habitual for people and they don't even think about pouring the next glass or even pouring the first glass.
So a lot of it is about a mindfulness approach.
