Wet January, Dry January or California Sober January

Wet January

Damp January is an initiative where people want to reduce their alcohol and/or marijuana consumption in January. It allows for a more flexible approach that focuses on reducing intake rather than complete abstinence. Considering there is a three-day weekend in the middle of the month, it can make achieving the goal a little easier.

Following Damp January means you should drink in moderation and with a more mindful approach. Losing weight is a little more difficult and you should plan your consumption and set quantity limits.

California sober

California Sober is an initiative where people stop drinking and using drugs other than marijuana. And they use marijuana in moderation. This is a more flexible approach and many people use vapes and gummies instead of alcohol at social events. If used correctly, this can also be used to help you lose weight.

Dry January

Dry January is the first of all three and means everything has to stay cold for 31 days. This is the least flexible approach, although slipping once or twice doesn't mean you should give up. This is the best program for losing weight and giving your body a break. This is a tolerance breaker for both alcohol and marijuana users who use frequently.

Humid January, Dry January, or California Sober can help your mind and body.
