Hi, I'm Sarah

Retired from Drinking but not from Fun!

 

I used to drink even though I knew I'd be better off without it.

 

I persevered because it's what everybody else was doing.

 


I've drunk through my 20s, 30s and 40s in different ways at different times. Towards the end of my drinking career there was usually the G and T on a Thursday night, the few glasses of wine on a Friday night and the Saturday finishing off the bottle so it didn't "go to waste." There were date nights with my husband, girls' nights out and evening in alone. There were festivals, parties and difficult days at work.

Not every week looked like this!

Some weeks I didn't drink at all (Dry January and Sober October were firmly fixed in my calendar)

and some weeks were ... well ... too much "fun!"

It took a long time to come to the realisation that the choice to drink (or not to) was down to me.

Many things got in the way of my decision for too long but it needn't take so much time or effort for you.

I'm here to help and support you
