We’re halfway through January — which is the time many people start to slack on their new year’s resolutions or forgo them altogether. In fact, the second Friday in January is known as “Quitters Day,” the day that most people give up their resolutions.

One common resolution that has gained traction and trendiness over recent years is “Dry January,” where individuals abstain from alcohol for the first month of the year.

JoAnne Harrop, a TribLive reporter and author of “A Daughter’s Promise,” joins host Zac Gibson to talk through research and interviews explaining how Dry January could lead to sobriety year-round.

This is “From the Newsroom.”
