TRY DRY: The Dry January app

Wouldn’t allow me to add zero free alcohol days! Time for a 🍻!

Very helpful app, whether you’re just using it for Dry January or planning to stay sober for longer. It’ll help you save money too, of course! The visual aspect means that the ever-growing rows of yellow stayed-dry icons on your calendar act as an incentive to keep going. And if you do lapse on occasion (as I have) the simple visuals help you choose to look at the positive of all those yellow icons and feel smug (!) at how well you’ve done, and look on the occasional black icon in a sea of yellow as just a blip. Easy to correct mistakes, too. If you log a day as dry but later remember you’d had a drink, just click on the date in the calendar and then on ‘I had a drink’ in the following screen. And if you enter your drinks in the wrong date, just click on the date in question and then in View your drinks’ in the following screen, where you can either add more drinks or remove them by swiping and hitting Delete.

Great little app! Keeps me that little bit more mindful on how many days I drink and over the course of the year. Just wish it had a community section as it would be good to chat to others who are also trying to cut back!

If you accidentally add a day to the calendar, you cannot remove it forcing you to have to delete your whole account and restart the app from scratch.

Enjoy seeing my reward stars every few days on the App - it really helps me to stay focused and congratulate myself ⭐️✨🌟

No lectures, just drinking mindfulness, achieved in different ways by setting optional goals, making notes when feeling like it’s not going so well. Not just for January, any day is a good day to use it.

This is my go to app for recording my dry spells or cutting back on alcohol. It keeps me motivated and has some really useful features to record how you feel and sleep as you cut back.

Well I never. I never thought I’d get this far now 32 days sober with absolutely no inclination to have a drink some time soon. This app has truly helped me keep a eye watching my progress day by day. As a heavy drinker I never looked at the expense of the habit it was the least important thing that concerned me, what amazed me was how my sleep has improved and how you can measure that improvement day by day. I would recommend this app to anybody considering going sober, honestly is so worth the first few days struggle with your emotions. Kindest regards paul.

Good information collated helps to make educated decisions around excess drinking surprising how many units are consumed on occasions

Excellent way to monitor your drinking.
