How to use the Dry January tracker
The sheet is already set to January 1 with 31 days. Put in how many drinks a normal week holds and what one costs, and the sheet shows what the month keeps.
Print it and stick it on the fridge. Tick the box at the end of each sober day, not the start; the tick is the reward.
The floor line is the rule for hard days: no alcohol today, however the day went. A rough day that ends sober still gets its tick.
What happens during a dry month
Week one is the hardest: sleep is patchy and evenings feel long. Around day 7 most people sleep deeper, and by day 14 mornings are noticeably clearer.
By the end of the month the money line is real, the scale usually moves, and the evening drink has stopped being automatic. That last part is the point.
Day 32 is the real question. The sheet shows where day 100 lands, and a huddle of friends doing the same month is the easiest way to keep going after the printout runs out.
Questions people ask
What if I slip during Dry January?
One empty box. The month is not ruined and nothing resets. Tick the next day and carry on; 31 days with one gap is a completely different January from the one you would have had. The only rule worth keeping is never miss twice.
How much money does Dry January save?
It depends on your normal week. Ten drinks a week at $8 each is about $354 across 31 days; a couple of bar nights a week can easily double that. The tracker works it out from your own numbers and prints the figure on the sheet.
Can I start Dry January late or do it in another month?
Yes. Change the start date and the sheet redraws with the right dates. A dry February or a dry March is the same 28 to 31 boxes; the calendar month matters less than the unbroken run of ticks.
