Staying Sober This January? Sober App & BetterHelp Are Here to Support You
Discover the benefits of a booze-free month with tracking, community, and free therapy
Dry January began more than a decade ago when Alcohol Change UK launched a challenge to go alcohol-free for 31 days. Since then, it’s turned into a global movement, with people all over the world trying out a month of sobriety and exploring a sober lifestyle.
If you’re already sober, this is a chance to celebrate your sobriety, refresh your commitment, or simply enjoy January events and enthusiasm.
If you’ve fallen off in your sobriety, we’ve got you. This is the perfect opportunity to start fresh and get back on track with community support. It’s never, ever too late.
If you’re not sober but are sober curious and considering giving sobriety a try, now’s the time! It’s the perfect opportunity to reset after the holidays and begin the new year with clarity and intention.
If you *just* want to boost your health and energy, improve your sleep, or look and feel better by taking a break from alcohol, fantastic! Whether or not you return to drinking after January, this experience will provide valuable insights into how alcohol (and its absence) impacts your body and mind.
