Dry Together Announces Dry January 2023

Dry Together™, the only community for women in midlife focused on redefining the role of alcohol in their lives, announced its third-annual Dry January Dry Month Challenge today. Women ages 35-60 are invited to register for the exclusive program which features weekly therapist-led online meetings during the month of January, one individual coaching session, an alcohol-free beverage sampler box, journaling prompts, workshops on midlife topics, accountability buddies, and a private chat forum and mobile app where participants continue conversation and share resources.

“Whether you are new to Dry January or you do a dry month every January, we invite you to deepen your experience this year within an intimate circle of midlife women who understand the gifts and challenges of this season in life,” said Megan Barnes Zesati, Dry Together co-founder and a psychotherapist in private practice in Austin. “The personal goal of removing alcohol from your daily life for one month is a step towards better health, but our program leverages introspection, collective wisdom and community-building for more enduring change.”

Different from sober communities that ask members to eliminate alcohol entirely, Dry Together is a year-round community that welcomes discussion around both moderation and sobriety. The result is an open forum that encourages female empowerment in midlife through honest conversations around alcohol. The Dry January Dry Month Challenge is a popular point of entry for members.

“Our Dry January program gives women a space to develop new alcohol-free ways of navigating what has become habitual and stagnant in their lives,” said Holly Sprague, co-founder and a communications consultant based in Boulder. “Going a step further than just giving up drinking for the month, we provide tools to look more closely at their relationships with alcohol and consider how they may want to drink differently moving forward.”

Barnes Zesati and Sprague created Dry Together in January 2021 to bring together women during the dark days of the pandemic. Former college roommates and now working mothers to teenagers, both women chose to remove alcohol from their lives in their early 40s.

Dry Together’s Dry January Dry Month Challenge includes:

• Therapist-led online meet-ups on Sundays in January from 2:00-3:00 EST

• Small groups limited to 12 women from around the world

• 1:1 Coaching Session with Dry Together founders

• Alcohol-Free Beverage Sampler Box from Boisson + Dry Together

• Journaling prompts and group discussion

• Workshops on topics such as insomnia, anxiety and rage in midlife

• Accountability buddies

• 24/7 access to Dry Together’s private online network and mobile app

• Resources to explore new ways to cope, connect and have fun without drinking

The Dry Month Challenge costs $195 and registration is open. Women who sign up by December 10 receive a 45-minute individual Coaching Session with Dry Together founders and an Alcohol-Free Sampler Box in partnership with Boisson, a leading non-alcoholic beverage retailer.

Dry Together is not a recovery community and is not appropriate for women in need of addiction services or daily sobriety support.
