According to Alcohol Change UK, one in six UK adults planned to do Dry January this year, a 22% increase compared to 2021. Some tried microdosing psilocybin (magic mushrooms) to help them abstain from booze, here's why:
, it's perhaps not surprising that people are choosing to cut down now. While apps like Try Dry and an ever-growing market of non-horrible alcohol-free craft beers might make sobriety easier for many, some people are trying an alternative technique: microdosing psilocybin to help them abstain from booze.
But when it comes to microdosing, there are currently no scientific studies relating to addiction or habitual behaviour. This is partly down to the difficulties still surrounding psychedelic research -- in order to accurately study the effects of microdosing, participants would need to microdose within their usual routine and while going about their usual daily activities, which raises a whole host of ethical, legal and safety concerns for researchers.
When I embarked upon Dry January this year, I hoped that microdosing would help. I've been doing it on and off for the past year, but since the start of 2022 have been keeping a more careful record of my microdosing, including journaling how I feel on the days that I microdose . I'm currently 10 days without a drink , and I feel great. I'm more clear-headed, more energetic and more creative.
