Dry January: not long to go now

Are you laying off the booze this month? Stay strong – February is just around the corner…

To everyone who has managed to make it this far without letting a drop of alcohol pass their lips – congratulations. You’ve sailed past the halfway mark and are still going strong. Not long now.

We've teamed up with national charity Alcohol Concern to create Dry January and help you make it through to the end of the month. The initiative's weekly email is packed full of handy tips on how to keep going, while the @dryjanuary Twitter account will be celebrating everyone staying dry on a daily basis.

And if you've fallen for the allure of alcohol? Don’t beat yourself up – you can still donate to Alcohol Concern to raise funds for research into the effects of alcohol, and support friends who are taking the challenge.

Keep helping each other – February isn’t far away.
