Story
After years of drinking one thing started to change . The addictive nature of alcohol started to take over and I was fed up feeling rough in a morning just waiting for an acceptable time to have another drink . This cycle was seemingly impossible to get out of . The fun had gone out of it .
Then i found SOBERISTAS . It provides a social network website offering peer support to people who wish to stop drinking alcohol.
With the help of SOBERISTAS i‘m now over 4 years aclohol free and my life is a really happy one again .Because of the help its given and continues to give me , i want your help to give something back and make it even easier to give more people their lives back .
On May 17th,18th and 19th 2024 i‘m going to climb the equivalent height of EVEREST in the Lake District
3 times a day for 3 days up and down SCAFELL PIKE .
Everyone is welcome to join me on one or more of the climbs . Its not going to be easy but neither is turning your back on alcohol in today’s society but hey I’ll be giving it my best shot .

2 months agoCan’t believe the support I’ve had so thank you all who’ve donated so far and in advance for anyone about to . The training is so so tedious but needs must . I’m getting a bit nervous as it’s less than a week before I throw myself up and down the hill 😳 Its an unknown thing I’m attempting and it’s either going to be not as bad as I think or HORRENDOUS Let’s hope it’s the former Big thanks for all the support I’m getting.
