Today's topic is "Dryuary" "What is Dryuary"?  My special guest is Dr. Marc Kern, Ph.D  Dr. Kern will speak about the Dryuary challange and give more details about it.  Dr. Marc Kern, Ph.D., and he is the Co-Founder of Alternatives Treatment Center, Chairman of the Board of Moderation Management, and the creator of Dryuary.  The Dryuary Challenge is an opportunity for individuals to come together in an online community to commit to 31 days of abstinence from alcohol, setting themselves up for a healthy start to the New Year. Staying dry in January is already a global movement with the United Kingdom in it's third year. Dryuary is bringing the concept to the United States.  According to US government, drinking less alcohol is one of the most popular resolutions that Americans make each year. Drinking less is a sure way to become healthier, as alcohol increases fat around the liver, increases blood glucose level, and increases calorie intake- all of which can lead to serious health risks.The holiday season comes hand in hand with parties, work, socialization, dinners and family time, which all tend to encourage higher levels of alcohol intake. Healthy habits are often forgone during this time.   Dryuary makes the abstaining month motivating and practical. Participants have the opportunity to challenge and/or sponsor friends and family, and support one another throughout the process. Participants will be able to track their progress through the website, along with the progress of thousands of others. Individuals will have a vast support system and will not go through the challenge alone.  For more information about Dr. Marc Kern go to  http://addictionalternatives.com/
