Blue Monday
Jan 14, 2025
Are you familiar with Blue Monday? The third Monday of January marks the term "Blue Monday." This day is often referred to as the most depressing day of the year. This year, Blue Monday falls on January 20, 2025. The origin may have started as a marketing term, but there’s no denying that mid-January brings a mix of challenges: dwindling daylight, festive fallout, post-holiday financial debt, and New Year’s resolution fatigue.
For many, this time of year also highlights struggles with alcohol. After weeks of holiday indulgence, the return to routine can feel jarring, especially if alcohol has become a crutch for coping with stress, loneliness, or fatigue. The temptation to pour a drink to "take the edge off" may seem harmless, but for some, it becomes a cycle that’s hard to break. Maybe that Dry January has turned Damp or into a full-on flood. From politics to wildfires there's doom and gloom all around.
Blue Monday doesn’t have to define your year. Instead, it can serve as a pivotal moment for reflection and change. Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or out of alignment with your goals is a signal—not of failure—but of an opportunity to take a step toward something better.
If you’ve been considering a change in your relationship with alcohol, this is your sign to take action. Whether you’re exploring sobriety, reevaluating your habits, or simply seeking more clarity and control, the path forward doesn’t have to be taken alone.
