How to use the tracker
- Pick your challenge: Dry January, the current month, or 31 days starting today.
- Answer the three questions. If any answer is “yes” or “not sure”, talk to a doctor before you stop.
- Optionally add your usual drinks per week and what one drink costs you.
- Each evening, tap the day and choose “Alcohol-free” or “Had a drink”.
- Print your calendar to put it on the fridge, or keep coming back to this page.
Why the total counts more than the streak
A streak that resets to zero after one drink can make a single day feel like “I've blown it”. So the big number here is your total of alcohol-free days. Your current and best runs are there too, smaller, because a 25-day month with two drinks is still 25 alcohol-free days.
Not sure how much you usually drink?
Your “usual week” is easier to estimate in standard drinks than in glasses, because glasses vary so much. The standard drink calculator shows what your usual glass, can or bottle adds up to.
Questions people ask
What if I have a drink during Dry January?
Log it and carry on. Your total of alcohol-free days doesn't go down, and the next day can be alcohol-free again. Many trackers reset you to zero; this one doesn't, because one day says little about the month.
Can I use it for Sober October or another month?
Yes. Pick "This month" to track the current calendar month, or "31 days from today" to start now.
Where is my calendar saved?
Only in this browser on this device. Nothing is sent to us, and there's no account. If you clear your browser data or use private browsing, the calendar is gone, so print it if you want a copy.
How are "drinks skipped" and "money not spent" worked out?
From the usual week you enter: drinks per week divided by 7, times the number of alcohol-free days, and that times the usual cost of one drink. They are rough estimates from your own numbers.
Is this the official Dry January app?
No. Dry January® is a campaign by the charity Alcohol Change UK, and we're not connected to it. This is an independent, free tracker.
When to get help
This site offers self-help tools and information, not medical advice. Talk to a doctor, or call one of the lines below, if:
- you feel shaky, sweaty, sick or anxious when you haven't had a drink;
- you find it hard to stop once you start, or you want to cut down and can't;
- drinking is causing problems with your health, work or the people close to you.
Before you stop: It can be very dangerous to stop drinking suddenly if you are dependent on alcohol. If you get withdrawal symptoms, get medical help before you try to stop drinking.
