Which are you more excited about? Natty coming back, or Paradigm Shift, the NA's Infinity Vortex?

Many of us drink too much without realising it. This could be having a big effect on us both now and in the future; alcohol overuse is linked to mental health problems, liver disease, seven forms of cancer and more. Is your drinking healthy? alcoholchange.org.uk/alcohol…

If you’ve ever tried going alcohol-free, whether for a day, a month, or more, you’ve probably experienced ‘sober shaming’ – being made to feel uncomfortable for not drinking. Read about sober shaming, why it matters, and how you can help #StopSoberShaming: alcoholchange.org.uk/get-inv…

For all you Army folks @4Alpha1
Sobriety hasn’t just made me healthier. It’s made me a calmer businessman, a more empathetic leader, a more supportive partner, a more present son, more rational, less anxious and more ambitious. It was the catalyst behind an entire lifestyle change.

First time I’ve heard the brief from @thepagey and the @4Alpha1 group. Really thought provoking and I think a few extra 0% Guinness will be drunk this Xmas. Thanks 😊

It’s the final day of #AlcoholAwarenessWeek, and what a week it’s been! Today, we’ll be talking about what’s next and how to keep having these important conversations about alcohol so we can all have happier, healthier relationships.

"Many of us shouldn’t pretend we have a ‘normal’ relationship with drinking, because we don’t." In this blog, @thepagey explores his experiences with alcohol and the Army, and what changes are being made to support people to make healthier choices: alcoholchange.org.uk/blog/20…

Lastly had an alcohol-free October. Alcohol-free substitutions were great for weekend treats (they added variety to water, tea & coffee!). Otherwise really didn’t miss it. Feeling great all-round; physically and mentally fitter, and much happier. 🇷🇴

I’ve socialised without alcohol. Not sure I am ready for a dry mess do yet though. That said I consider my attitude to alcohol as changing. Next is to look at my sleep patterns. All good stuff though.

I hope so. It’s been an incredibly tough year and this app really keeps me in check. I’m the first to admit I love a drink, so I’m glad to be held accountable. I recommend it to all!

Inspired by the @Official_REME ‘Lifting the Decks’ MH challenge & @4Alpha1 I have took part in Stoptober. Lost a little weight, feel a little better, saved a little cash and have had more active mornings with the kids. All in all a positive experience. Thanks to all.
