Story

Most people who know me, know I like a drink… I love nothing more then a glass of wine when the sun is shining, when it is cold and near a fire with a glass of red wine, when celebrating/ commiserating , basically any excuse!! 

Sadly it has now turned into a “treat / necessity” for when anything basically triggers me…. I have therefore decided to challenge myself to not drink alcohol from May - July. (Please ignore the dates of the official Spring campaign, I am as later to the party….)

My plea to you lovely people is to please help support me, please try not to tempt me, and if you would like to motivate me please consider donating to this charity to help others struggling with alcohol addiction. 

About Alcohol Change UK….Alcohol is a part of many of our lives. We use it for celebration, for comfort, to socialise, to wind down, to cope. We treat it differently to other drugs; its legal, socially acceptable, even encouraged.Yet in the UK one person every hour dies as a result of alcohol. Alcohol harm mental health problems, liver disease, one of seven forms of cancer, economic difficulties, and so much more can affect any one of us, from any walk of life.The harm doesnt end with the individual; each of us who drinks too much is part of a family and a community who feel the effects too, whether through frequent use of emergency services, drink driving, violence or neglect.We are Alcohol Change UK. We work for a society that is free from the harm caused by alcohol.
