A 30-day break from alcohol changes multiple systems at once: metabolic, cardiovascular, neurological, and behavioral. In this episode, I’m summarizing what the research says about the benefits people commonly experience, including sleep, energy, liver fat, and drink-refusal self-efficacy. I’ll explain what improves early, what takes longer, and what predicts real behavior change beyond the month.
What to listen to next:
E231: everything you need to know about withdrawal
E205: kindling in alcohol withdrawal
E240: post acute withdrawal syndrome (PAWS)
E247: Sober Sleep is the Best Sleep, But Not Right Away
E265: Rewiring the reward system after getting sober
