What Do You Have to Lose?

Experience what life can be like on the other side of alcohol by giving alcohol-consciousness a chance for 90 days.

Who am I and what is the Dry-90 Challenge?

My name is Ken Makimsy Middleton, and I'm the author of Bamboozled...How Alcohol Makes Fools of Us All - a book dedicated to educating people on the dangers of alcohol and encouraging them to live a life of alcohol-consciousness instead. 

Alcohol-consciousness is about educating yourself on the true scientific way in which alcohol affects us which has nothing to do with ever becoming an alcoholic.

The Dry-90 Challenge is about abstaining from alcohol for 90 straight days while coupling that with a series of daily habits that will allow you to experience high high-definition version of life that you can create without it. 

Why 90 days?

90 days is the amount of time needed to TRULY experience all the positive ways abstinence from alcohol can affect your life.

At the 90-day mark, you begin experiencing the compounding effects of not drinking which will be a much better representation of what stopping drinking long term could be like other than the quick 30-day Dry "insert whatever month you desire" that has been pushed in the past.

The Dry-90 challenge is about taking significant time away from alcohol while simultaneously investing in yourself to see what change you can create and what person you can begin becoming over a short 90-day time span.

Book Recommendations

There are a lot of great quit-lit books out there that can help in your alcohol-conscious journey (including my own!). Here are some of my favorites that helped me during my Mental Re-engineering phase of giving up alcohol.  

You can't really go wrong with any of these, so you have to pick the one that resonates with you. It's all about finding your own back and journey to alcohol-consciousness. There are many ways to get there, so don't be afraid to try a number of different books to see which one resonates with you. Here's a good list of some others to consider as well.
