Hi and thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!  I have now completed the 12 month challenge!

After many years (most of my adult life) drinking way too much alcohol than I really should, forgotten nights and hungover days full of regret.  I decided it was time to quit, but also to set myself a challenge, that being giving up drinking for three months.  This was on the 26th of January 2021.  

After discovering the many benefits of being sober, health benefits and clarity of mind, I thought that I would like to extend the challenge to twelve months and do something very worthwhile alongside this journey of sobriety.  Which is supporting and working with a wonderful charity that strive for a society that is free from the harm that is caused by alcohol.  

I will also took part in the 10km Wolf Run in September in conjunction with my 12 month sober challenge.

Please support me in this journey.

'We are Alcohol Change UK. We work for
a society that is free from the harm caused by alcohol.

We are not anti-alcohol; we are for
alcohol change. We are for a future in which people drink as a conscious
choice, not a default; where the issues which lead to alcohol problems – like
poverty, mental health issues, homelessness – are addressed; where those of us
who drink too much, and our loved ones, have access to high-quality support
whenever we need it, without shame or stigma.

The problem is complex, and so the
solutions aren’t simple. But we’re ambitious. Driven by our belief that every
person deserves to live a full life free from alcohol harm, we create
evidence-driven change by working towards five key changes: improved knowledge,
better policies and regulation, shifted cultural norms, improved drinking
behaviours, and more and better support and treatment.'
