Try Dry® Anytime 31 days

Yes! The Try Dry^® 31 Anytime challenge can be started at any point during the month. On the day you sign up, you’ll receive a confirmation email and the following day, your daily motivational emails will begin. These emails will run for just over 31 days from the day after your sign up, meaning you will receive a daily email over this period.

Yes, you can. Simply fill in the quick form to begin your journey. Your challenge will run for 31 days from the day after you sign up, no matter the length of the calendar month we’re in at the time.

Try Dry^® 31 Anytime has been designed to support people looking to reset their drinking habits by taking a 31 day break from alcohol. It is not suitable for people that are clinically alcohol dependent and is not designed as a replacement for specialist treatment. If you think you may be drinking too much or are unsure if you are dependent, we’d recommend talking to your GP to get advice around your drinking and best support options. If you’d like check your drinking levels, why not take our Check you drinking quiz? If you’re concerned about your drinking, take a look at our resources page to see what support is out there.

By taking part we will send you one email per day for the next 32 days. When you register your email address you will receive a welcome email from us and at the end of the programme you will be invited to join our monthly mailing list.

Check your spam or junk folder in the first instance and be sure to save [email protected] to your safe sender list. If you are still not receiving the emails get in touch with our team at [email protected] and we will sort it for you.

The programme and all the associated tools like the Try Dry^® app and online community are free and brought to you by Alcohol Change UK, the charity behind Dry January^®.

At the moment, daily emails will arrive each day at the time you originally signed up. For example, if you signed up at 9:00am, you will receive your daily emails going forward at this time each day until the time period is up.

Unfortunately, due to how our sending mechanisms work, you cannot sign up again for the Try Dry® Anytime 31 Days emails before you've finished your 31 days. If you try to sign up again before this time, you'll see an error message explaining that you're already subscribed.

Having a slip up is a normal part of making lasting change. Although slip ups can be tricky to deal with, and you may feel like restarting your challenge would be a good option right now, we'd encourage you to try and stick with your challenge. The biggest learning can come out of those moments where it didn’t go to plan, but you dusted yourself off, reflected on what happened, and carried on. Learning to be curious about what was at play when you had your slip up (and taking those elements into consideration the next time) may end up being your secret weapon for success.

If you really feel like you'd like to try again before your 31 days is up, we'd suggest referring back to emails you've already received at the points you need. You may also sign up again once 31 days have elapsed from the date you initially signed up. Please be aware you will receive the same series of emails again if you decide to do this.

Although you can sign up to both challenges, you will only ever receive one set of emails from Alcohol Change UK at once. If you find your Try Dry^® Anytime 31 days challenge finishes during January, and you'd still like to receive Dry January^® 2025 emails from us you can still sign up to them here. Only once you've finished receiving all your Try Dry® Anytime 31 Days daily emails, will you then start receiving your Dry January® Challenge daily emails from that point onwards. Please contact the support team at [email protected] for any queries on this.

We are continually refining this new challenge over the coming months, be part of shaping how it looks by sending in your feedback and comments to the following emai address: [email protected].
