Join Ruth, Jane & Clare in changing your relationship with alcohol! We are 3 high-functioning ex-drinkers who quit alcohol & discovered the joys of being sober.
In this brief episode, Ruth and Jane discuss an overheard radio chat about the link between alcohol and joy.
Jane introduces Ruth to the concept of sober joyful 'glimmers,' - euphoric natural highs of bliss, and the opposite of triggers. https://t.co/LK70oV8sK9
Like tobacco, alcohol is a Group 1 carcinogen and drives nearly 1m hospital admissions a year. But why are Britain’s rules around advertising alcohol and tobacco so different? The question being asked in this week's Notes and queries column in @guardian https://t.co/W1S5N9HobM
Alcohol harm costs @NHSEngland a huge amount of time and resource.

Sober Saturday ❤️
I can’t imagine anyone waking up tomorrow feeling regret because they wish they had drank more, however how many people will wake up regretting how much they did drink? #fizzfree

Avoiding binge drinking, switching to low and alcohol-free alternatives, and having drink free days can all help reduce the amount of time you borrow (as James puts it). 🕓
An interesting perspective 💭

Why does drinking alcohol increase cancer risk?
Your body breaks it down into the reactive, toxic chemical 'acetaldehyde', which damages DNA & prevents your body from repairing the damage.
When DNA is damaged, a cell can begin growing out of control and create a cancer tumour.
