Tom Holland told Jay Shetty he quit drinking 18 months ago. Said it was the hardest thing he’s ever done. Jay: “Why was it so hard?” Tom: “I didn’t wake up one day and decide to quit. I just had a really boozy December typical Brit Christmas. I can drink, always could. Runs in my mom’s side.” Tom: “I decided to just do Dry January. That’s it. One month.” Tom: “And all I could think about was having a drink. All day. I’d wake up thinking about it. Checking the clock ‘is it noon yet?’” Tom: “That scared me. I thought, ‘Maybe I have a bit of an alcohol thing.’” He wasn’t trying to quit forever. He just wanted one dry month. The fact that he couldn’t stop thinking about it was the answer.

Tom Holland claims he thought he could quit drinking anytime until he actually tried. “I didn’t wake up one day and say, ‘I’m giving up drinking.’ Like many Brits, I had a very boozy December around Christmas time. I was on vacation, drinking a lot, and I’ve always been able to handle it. I think I get that from my mum’s side.” “I decided to try Dry January just to see if I could. All I could think about was having a drink, I’d wake up thinking about it, check the clock wondering if it was twelve, and it really scared me.I started to wonder if I had a little bit of an alcohol problem. So I told myself I’d do February as well, giving myself two months off to prove I didn’t have a problem.” “two months in, I was still struggling. I flt like I couldn’t be social, couldn’t go to the pub and have a lime soda, and couldn’t go out for dinner. I started worrying maybe I did have an alcohol issue.” “So I decided to wait until my birthday on June 1st. I told myself that if I could make it six months without alcohol, I’d prove I didn’t have a problem.” “By June 1st, I was the happiest I’d ever been. I slept better, handled problems better, and things that would normally upset me at work didn’t bother me anymore. I had much better mental clarity, and I felt healthier and fitter.”
