Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:30:03 GMT

If you’ve decided to take a month away from drinking, you’re likely not alone. About 15% of U.S. adults reported they would participate in Dry January last year.The popularity of Dry January and Sober October brings certain advantages: bars are more likely to have a mocktail selection than they were a decade ago, and your friends will have heard of the concept of a dry month, even if they aren’t interested in trying one themselves.But changing habits around alcohol is still challenging, and the odds of success are higher if you go in with a plan, said Dr. Jeremy Kidd, a member of the American Psychiatric Association’s addiction council.While many people can stop or curtail drinking on their own, others need support from a doctor or mental health professional, he said.Dry January presents an opportunity for people to reconsider the role alcohol plays in their lives, he noted, but the same strategies work regardless of the season.Kidd recommended the following ...

A statewide task force created to reform Colorado’s mandatory reporting laws cannot do so without first asking lawmakers to change the state’s definition of criminal child abuse and neglect, members wrote in a 12-page report published this week.Colorado’s definition of criminal child abuse and neglect is too broad and should be narrowed to avoid conflating circumstances like poverty or homelessness with neglect and abuse, the task force members wrote in the report, which was published after the first year of the group’s two-year effort to reform the state’s mandatory reporting laws.The group plans to meet for 11 hours in January and February in order to create recommendations for change in the child abuse statute, according to the report, which noted that the laws around child abuse in some states are more nuanced than Colorado’s, and are better designed to ensure cultural differences and socioeconomic statuses don’t drive unfounded child ab...
