Description

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.

Why should I download Try Dry®?
• Track your units, calories and money saved
• Set goals that work for you
• Loads of great badges to achieve with in-app celebrations
• Access our exclusive free coaching email programme
• See your progress using the charts
• Daily motivation - receive a reminder every day, at a time that suits you
• Use the drinking risk quiz to see how you are doing
• Led by science, developed for you. Try Dry® combines behavioural science with a highly responsive approach to feedback from users.
• Totally free. No upfront costs. No hidden costs. No ads. Entirely funded by the charity Alcohol Change UK.

Why cut down your drinking?
• Better sleep. More energy. Glowing skin (yes, really).
• More money in your pocket (the average UK adult spends £50,000 on booze in their lifetime!)
• Get healthier - cutting back on the booze lowers your risks of over 60 serious medical conditions including heart disease, stroke, and 7 cancers
• Take control – if alcohol has become a habit, break free and take full control
• Be more present, enjoy life more, and really be there for your family and friends.

Great for tracking your days.

I starting using the app in January and love seeing the days rack up. Love that there’s a journal to track mood and motivation etc. Whatever your reasons are for trying dry, this app is easy to use, to the point and its genius is in its simplicity.

Motivational and straightforward app

Have been using for one year and have greatly reduced my drinking. The daily check-in and blogs are real positives and it’s encouragingly easy to re-set if you don’t meet a goal. The units calculator section is on the clunky side but hey it’s free and ad free as well.

Developer Response ,

Hi, thanks so much for your four star review of Try Dry - we appreciate your feedback on the units calculator and will take this into consideration! It's great to hear that you find the app helpful. Best wishes.
