The honor pledge
- I'll count only real zero-drink days.
- If I slip, I'll reset my date and start the clock over.
- I'll finish what I signed up for — or reset and go again.
Take a look at the real app.
Skin in the game, without the mystery.
$59.99/year · about $1.15/week
Save 77% versus staying on the $4.99 weekly plan for a year. That is $199.49 kept in your pocket before the app counts a single drink you skip.
A note from Dawson.
“Most apps I found were built around getting sober for good. I wanted something that felt more like a challenge — pick a distance, see the health wins add up, and cross a real finish line. So I built Dry Run. However far you decide to go, this is your run — and I'm rooting for you the whole way.”
The honest FAQ.
Why isn't it free?
You start with 3 days free on the annual plan — after that it's skin in the game. A free app is easy to ignore; a challenge you pay to enter is a challenge you take seriously, and finish. The annual plan is $59.99 — about $1.15 a week and 77% less than keeping the $4.99 weekly plan for a year. Compare the plans.
How do you know I'm actually not drinking?
We don't. There's no tracker and no test — the whole thing runs on your word. That's the point. You type your name on a pledge, and every day you sign is signed on your honor.
What if I slip?
You reset your date and start the clock again. No shame, no lecture — that's the pledge you signed. Plenty of finishers reset once before going the distance.
Is this a sobriety program?
No — moderation, not abstinence-forever. Dry Run is a challenge with a finish line: take a real break, reset your baseline, and decide from strength what drinking looks like after. It isn't treatment. If you're dependent on alcohol, stopping suddenly can be dangerous — please talk to a doctor first, and see the SAMHSA helpline at 1-800-662-4357.
What do you do with my data?
Almost everything stays on your phone. The leaderboard, crews, community drink ratings, and catalog suggestions are opt-in; individual drink ratings are never shown with your identity. No ads, no tracking, nothing sold — read the privacy policy.
