UGH 1. Sobriety has not gained popularity because the “image obsessed younger generation” are scared of getting wrinkles. 2. To say that people who struggle to moderate their alcohol-use simply lack the willpower is both wildly misinformed and offensive to anyone struggling.

“I look better, in that way you can’t quite place,” Jennifer Barton writes. “My sleep hasn’t been interrupted by an overfull bladder. Or a digestive system struggling with the effort of breaking down alcohol enzymes nightly.” trib.al/QGutQaw

bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan… Im in this talking about alcohol free venues and how important they are!
Have you turned your back on booze? bbc.in/44p57Pc
When going alcohol free there’s likely going to be people who try and change your mind. You need to make sure that you go into The Battle of Peer Pressure (2023) with the right weapons at your disposal! Read @milliegooch's #SoberSpring tip for week four: ow.ly/87as50NBfQh
Discovering @milliegooch and the sober girls society has been eye opening! It’s helped make me giving up alcohol easier and it’s also made me decide that it’s something I definitely want to keep up for the foreseeable, maybe even forever!
Some great advice here! Separate but related question: who are your 'sober icons' ie people who made sobriety seem cool/appealing to you? One of mine is @milliegooch
People who have experimented with giving up or moderating alcohol intake, what's helped you? (Resources, tips, advice, etc...) For a newsletter on being sober-curious!

@GBNEWS @milliegooch 👏🏻 the fun I can have now sober is amazing! No more wondering how I'm going to get to a gig, or wondering if I'll even remember it. I can drive whenever I want to 😁 no more voluntarily making myself feel ill. 3+ years in and I've become the best version of myself
@GBNEWS Alcohol is over rated. I have just as much fun (if not more) as a teetotaltarian. So many benefits to alcohol abstinence. 1) you save a lot of money 2) you have more energy 3) you take in less calories 4) your mood is more stable 5) you sleep better 6) more time 4 other interests
@CNN I was always designated driver back in my bar-going days. It wasn’t fun to hang out with drunk people so I became a really good darts player. Had a lot of fun.
HUGE congrats to @milliegooch for winning the 2022 @RSAposts Media Award! Millie has been working hard to create safe spaces for women who are interested in changing their relationship with alcohol. Thank you for all you do! 🤩 #RSA2022
Three blonde wellness huns at the Manchester Well-being Festival @milliegooch @Aliceliveing_
It’s almost time for #SoberSpring! But what exactly is Sober Spring? Here are the key things you need to know about the campaign: 🌼 It’s a three-month break from alcohol, starting 20 March and ending 20 June. (a thread 1/5)
16/12/21: I read this ~18 months ago and gave up alcohol temporarily (but didn't stick). Re-reading it as I'm in danger of covering emotional discomfort with alcohol. I'm giving it up for good as it doesn't align with my goals/values + puts me in danger. Neg emotions = healthy!
Two years sober today. They say ‘everything happens for a reason’ but I say ‘everything happens for a purpose’. 730 days ago I presented at A&E amidst my most serious alcohol withdrawal episode. After what I hope to be my FINAL detox, I became my purpose. #Sobriety #RecoveryPosse
At our #RebuildAndRecover2021 conference @milliegooch asked us all to change how we think about not drinking. For just £30, you can access 5 hours of video content from the event, including her great presentation: alcoholchange.org.uk/events/rebuild…
