Dry January a way of taking small steps toward big results by: Cierra Johnson Posted:
With 2024 officially underway, many are looking to change habits and that may mean cutting back on alcohol.
“Dry January” is a term coined by a UK based organization and is now recognized worldwide as a time to abstain from alcohol all 31 days of the month.
“Every year, I’ve gotten a call from an individual hey you know what, I think I want to go clean, and I want to use dry January as a launch pad,” Oyauma Garrison, CEO of Maryhaven, said. “We know that it takes over 20 days before something truly becomes a habit and I think this just becomes another catalyst for most because it’s new year, it’s resolution time, it’s when people are thinking about fitness and their physical health and their mental health.”
