Dry January
In January, we take a break from alcohol!
Dry January – January Challenge is a campaign supported by an international movement: every year in January, millions of people take a break from their alcohol consumption.
addiction services department support Dry January.
How does it work?
The rule for the January challenge is simple: do not drink alcohol from the time you get up on January 1st until the end of the month… and that’s it !
There's no right or wrong with not drinking: it's up to each individual to see and observe the effects. But if you take on the challenge for the entire month, you'll reap significantly greater benefits. Perhaps the greatest of these will be rediscovering the pleasure of going out, having dinner at home, relaxing, and seeing loved ones… without associating alcohol with these activities, and thus recognizing those drinks that aren't a deliberate choice but rather part of a routine.
Dry January: its beneficial effects have been assessed
Dry January is an experiment that originated in the UK and now exists in a dozen countries. Since 2013, researchers have evaluated its effects. Its benefits are:
- fresher and more beautiful skin,
- Improved sleep therefore more energy
- saving money,
- improved health, since stopping for a month does considerable good for the body
- and a wonderful feeling of victory and pride!
Each year, millions of people in France, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Canada or Belgium take a break from alcohol.
