Reviews: What People Think About TRY DRY: The Dry January app

Cheers from the US! This is the app I have been looking for to cut back drinking. I have tried a few others and they fell short in some way or the other. Many felt slapped together so they can charge a subscription fee and make some money off of you trying to be healthier. Others felt judgmental like I was being chastised if I slipped or had a drink at all. I like that this app is just very matter of fact. It gives the facts and details of how much doctors say is unhealthy. If you do have a drink, it’s not a big deal. You are treated no differently. You share your mood, how you feel, cravings, notes, and you move on. Tomorrow is another day. It helps me feel hopeful. That a slip up id just that, and I don’t have to dwell on it. I also quite appreciate that it differentiates between having a planned vs unplanned drink, because sometimes I do plan to have a beer with a friend and that is very different from drinking when I have no intention to. If all that weren’t enough, it celebrates your success with badges and missions! I feel good having not had a drink. It doesn’t feel like a slog. Thank you for creating this. It helps me be more cognizant of my drinking and I still feel like I’m a human being.

I’ve been drinking heavily for 56 years because I like to drink. Since retiring 20 years ago, my consumption increased to at least 10 drinks per evening. Mind you I’m large at 235# and only drank after 6 p.m. and when no business or volunteer functions, but I became worried about the health consequences. So my wife and I heard about this App, and gave it a try. I’d never tried to quit before, and we both found it relatively easy. No drinks for the first few months and afterwards, only on social occasion with a limit of two. I thought I’d feel better and all that, but feel no different. Oh well. However I do feel better about my health prospects as I get older (approaching 80), and I’ve kept recording just to be in touch with my sleep cycles, moods, etc. Therefore, I obviously believe it’s a very good app and do recommend it for those who wonder whether or not they are true alcoholics.

I found about the Try Dry app on Reddit, and I and so glad I did. I started using it for Dry January in 2024 and used it almost consistently throughout the year. It’s very easy to go in and click if you “stayed dry” or if you “drank as planned”. It’s motivating to see all the days pile up. I enjoy scrolling back to last year and looking at my consumption and I’m proud of how far I’ve come and the relationship shift I’ve had with alcohol and I would like to give credit to the app. I’m not completely “dry” and I still drink often throughout the year but it helps hold me accountable to reflect on my habits with drinking. The emails throughout January have also been helpful, with little tips and motivating stories! I recommend this app to those who want to learn more about their relationship with alcohol.
