<p></p><div><span style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26);">If you’re one of the millions of Brits who vowed to stay off the booze this month, hang in there – you’ve only 11 more days to go!</span></div><div><span style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26);"> </span></div><div><span style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26);">Congratulations on making it this far, and remember, if your resolve is starting to wobble, you’re not alone.</span></div><div><span style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26);"> </span></div><div><span style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26);">Many people find that as the dark nights of January roll on, it gets harder and harder to resist the temptation to have a cheeky snifter or two.</span></div><div><span style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26);"> </span></div><div><span style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26);">But don’t give in; follow these tips and stay dry.</span></div><div><strong style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26);"> </strong></div><div><strong style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26);">Think about the health benefits</strong></div><div><span style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26);"> </span></div><div><span style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26);">You’re doing your body a big favour by taking a breather from booze. Not only is alcohol high in calories (and hence bad for your waistline), but it can also negatively impact your liver, heart, kidneys, nervous system, pancreas, and brain.</span></div><div><strong style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26);"> </strong></div><div><strong style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26);">Schedule an activity</strong></div><div><span style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26);"> </span></div><div><span style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26);">Don’t sit around moping – keep busy – especially at the times when you’d usually be pouring yourself a drink. Head to the gym, go out for a walk or run yourself a hot bath. Change up your routine so you don’t feel like you’re missing out.</span></div><div><span style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26);"> </span></div><div><strong style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26);">Do the maths</strong></div><div><span style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26);"> </span></div><div><span style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26);">Tot up how much money you’ve saved already by not drinking, and then calculate how far ahead you’ll be by the end of the month. Set yourself a goal that if you make it to 31 January without a drink, you can use this cash to treat yourself to a new item of clothing or a nifty piece of tech.</span></div><div><span style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26);"> </span></div><div><strong style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26);">Talk about it</strong></div><div><span style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26);"> </span></div><div><span style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26);">When your willpower starts to crumble, talk to someone about it. If you have a friend or family member who is also doing Dry January, talk to them. Alternatively, visit the Dry January group on Facebook and get support from people who have been there before.</span></div><div><span style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26);"> </span></div><div><strong style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26);">Make the most of mornings</strong></div><div><span style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26);"> </span></div><div><span style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26);">Revel in the fact that you wake up clear-headed and ready to take on the world thanks to your booze-free lifestyle. No throbbing headache, fuzzy head, or bone-dry tongue. You can now make the most of your day instead of hiding under the duvet feeling sorry for yourself.</span></div><div><strong style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26);"> </strong></div><div><strong style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26);">If you’re doing Dry January, let us know on social media how you’re getting.</strong></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><p></p>
