Dry January 2012 The charity Alcohol Concern are asking people to sign up for their “Dry January” challenge...“Your mission: to avoid that cheeky after work pint, that glass of wine on the sofa, or that big boozy night out, for the whole month. Feel better. Save money. Make a difference. Your chance to ditch the hangover, reduce the waistline, and save the pennies. Make a real difference to the lives of those harmed through alcohol misuse and get sponsored by family and friends to sponsor you and raise money for Alcohol Concern.” To download more information or to sign up go to the Dry January website – www.dryjanuary.org.uk The OFOS say –“This is not a medical detox programme and should not be undertaken by people with alcohol dependency issues. This is both an awareness raising campaign and a fundraiser for Alcohol Concern. If you’re concerned about your use of alcohol or drugs, or you’re worried about someone else’s dependency, please get in touch with NORCAS and ask for our Over 50s Outreach Service.”
