Harley Hurosky of Texas participated in the “Dry January” movement after holiday indulgence, hoping for support from friends and family who ultimately declined. She recorded their surprising reactions and posted them on social media, leading to a viral video with over 743,000 views on TikTok. As a marketing manager, Hurosky enjoys creating content that connects with people through relatable and humorous situations. While anticipating funny reactions from her social and well-traveled loved ones, she was surprised by the most entertaining responses from her parents, especially her goofy father. Despite overcompensating with takeout last year, Hurosky and her boyfriend successfully completed Dry January and enjoyed benefits like feeling less groggy and avoiding hangovers. This year, she is confident she can go without alcohol for a month, aiming to shed a few pounds and kickstart a healthier lifestyle. While disappointed by the lack of support from friends and family, Hurosky understands that Dry January does not align with their love for a good time and a good drink. Overall, she considers the challenge a win and is proud of her ability to stick to it.
