New Year, Healthier Choices | Episode 4

Welcome back to New Year, Healthier Choices. In this episode, Dr. Mandy Diamond sits down with Keenen Diamond, a longtime leader in behavioral healthcare and addiction treatment, to talk about what the new year really means in the treatment world, why admissions often rise after the holidays, and how people can reassess their relationship with alcohol in a way that’s realistic, compassionate, and actually sustainable. Keenen shares what he’s seeing on the front lines as the administrator of Temecula Recovery Center, a 64-bed detox and residential program in Temecula, California, part of the Generations Healthcare Network. Together, they unpack the difference between a resolution and a true lifestyle commitment, and how accountability, support systems, and the right tools can help people create healthier patterns over time. In this conversation, you’ll hear about: • Why the post-holiday season is one of the biggest intake periods for treatment centers • The difference between a quick New Year’s resolution and a deeper intention that lasts • How Dry January and moderation can build awareness about alcohol’s impact on sleep, mood, and anxiety • How to tell when “I can stop anytime” might not be true, and what that can mean • Why accountability matters, and how it can be supportive instead of punishment-based • How measurable data can reduce policing in families and shift conversations toward collaboration • How SOBRsure can be used as an accountability tool, whether your goal is abstinence or reduction • Why progress matters, even if it isn’t perfect, and how small reductions can still be major wins • When it’s important to seek medical support before stopping alcohol abruptly If you’re starting the year sober curious, trying Dry January, cutting back, or seriously questioning your relationship with alcohol, this episode offers practical insight and a grounded way forward. The goal isn’t shame, it’s clarity. The goal isn’t perfection, it’s change that you can actually live with and build on. #SOBRsafe #SOBRsure #NewYearHealthierChoices #DryJanuary #SoberCurious #AlcoholAwareness #BehavioralHealth #AddictionRecovery #RecoverySupport
