How is Dry January going for you?  With us getting closer to the end of the month, it's time to take stock.  Have you made it this far?  Or did you have a drink.  If so, did you get back on the wagon?

These three alcoholics are just really hearing about Dry January and we dug in to learn more.

  • Matt downloaded the app and took the alcohol use quiz.  Based on his days drinking, how did he score?
  • From our perspective, we talked about other tools to make Dry January a success
  • How technology, like apps and social media changed the game
  • Where Dry January started and how it's a trademarked name

We talk about how, when AA started, alcohol abuse treatment was focused on the "low bottom drunk."  With things like Dry January and the use of technology to track and motivate, there is now the chance to "catch" a problem before it gets too bad.

Did you notice the new name?  We are now Sober Friends.  We just wanted to share this message to as many people as possible and the "right" name makes it more searchable.  It's the same great sober talk as before.
