Congratulations on completing the Dry January® challenge 2025 - you have BOSSED IT! We hope you experienced some of the benefits of a month without alcohol, like better sleep or feeling more energised.
We know that it can be challenging to take a break from alcohol for a month, so it's time to pour a cuppa positivi-tea and share your top tips to help other people who might decide to do a month without alcohol!
A donation to Alcohol Change UK ensures people are supported all year to reset their relationship with alcohol through our Try Dry® Anytime journey (like the Dry January® challenge, but whenever someone needs support).
Please help us to end alcohol harm across the UK.
Pour a cuppa positivi-tea!

Alcohol: we use it for celebration, for comfort, to socialise, to wind down, to cope. We treat it differently to other drugs; it’s legal, socially acceptable, even encouraged.
Yet in the UK one person every hour dies as a result of alcohol. Alcohol harm – mental health problems, liver disease, one of seven forms of cancer, economic difficulties, and so much more – can affect anyone of us, from any walk of life.
The harm doesn’t end with the individual; each of us who drinks too much is part of a family and a community who feel the effects too.
We are Alcohol Change UK. We work for a society that is free from the harm caused by alcohol.
We are not anti-alcohol; we are for alcohol change. We are for a future in which people drink as a conscious choice, not a default; where those of us who drink too much, and our loved ones, have access to high-quality support whenever we need it, without shame or stigma.
