Brian Lear on WNYC and now we'll end the show by checking in on those of you participating in dry January.

For those of you who don't know that's the 31 day sobriety challenge to mark the new year.

So we want to know from those of you who've done it before,

was it worth it in the long run? Did it change anything for you in the long run? What did it do for

your relationship with alcohol in general?

If anything, 212 433 WNYC.

212 433 9692.

You can also text that number if you are participating in dry

have participated in July January before,

is to share what you have gained from taking a month off from drinking

and whether it made lasting changes for your relationship with alcohol.

212 433, WNYC, 433, 9692.

And do you even intend it to be that or maybe this is largely for people who maybe have just had a lot to drink during the holiday period and now want to dry out for a while before going back to whatever your more

moderate routine might be.

But for some people it is clearly a kind of New Year's resolution related thing to get a better grip on your

alcohol use in general. Has it been like that for anybody listening right now and

what can other people listening right now and what can other people

right now who may be going down the dry January
