TRY DRY: The Dry January app 17+

Try Dry® the life-changing, science-based, totally free app (no ads!) for taking control of your drinking, created for and paid for by the charity Alcohol Change UK.

Try Dry® is the powerful, easy-to-use, and totally free premium app helping tens of thousands of people to take control of their drinking. Try Dry® is the official app of the Dry January® challenge, which was created and is run by the charity Alcohol Change UK.

Co-created with drinkers and based on behavioural science and a spirit of experimenting (hence the name), Try Dry® contains unique features such as 'planned drinking', custom goals, and special missions. Unlike 'sobriety-only apps', it works brilliantly whether you want to cut back or try being sober.

Whether you’re taking on the Dry January® challenge, doing Sober Spring, trying a sober October, making a longer-term change to your drinking, or just cutting back, the Try Dry® app is your trusted year-round support system.
