Sober October: How Acupuncture Can Support Your Journey

Taking on Sober October is a fantastic way to reset your body, mind, and habits. But let’s be honest—going alcohol-free isn’t always easy. You may notice changes in sleep, mood, or even cravings along the way. This is where acupuncture can offer gentle, natural support.

How acupuncture helps during Sober October:

  • Balances mood – Acupuncture can regulate the body’s nervous system, reducing stress, anxiety, and irritability that sometimes surface when alcohol is removed.

  • Improves sleep – Many people find their sleep patterns improve with acupuncture, helping restore natural rest.

  • Reduces cravings – By supporting the body’s energy flow and calming the mind, acupuncture may ease the intensity of cravings.  The ‘NADA’ protocol, a five-point ear protocol, is often used to help with cravings.

  • Boosts overall wellbeing – Sessions can leave you feeling more relaxed, centered, and motivated to continue your alcohol-free month.

Sober October isn’t just about cutting something out—it’s about giving yourself the chance to feel better, clearer, and more in control. Acupuncture can be a valuable companion on that journey, helping you get the most from your month of wellness.
