43. Starting a revolution. One woman's mission to change AF culture with Amy Armstrong

In this episode I chat with Amy Armstrong  from Port Fairy,  Victoria who at 10 months sober at the time of recording is on a mission to have more alcohol free options in the restaurants and bars around Australia and she is succeeding,  one town at a time.   Amy had struggled with binge drinking for years stuck in the cycle of drinking, black out,  shame, repeat she had enough and through the suggestion of a friend she joined Annie Grace's,  The Naked Mind one month sobriety course and has been alcohol free since.   Focusing on self love she was able to change her mindset and start to make better choices for herself.   While they are not for everyone , Amy  prefers alcohol free (AF) wines, beers and bubbles to get through social events and finds they make her feel as though she is not "missing out",  she still has a great time minus the crippling hangovers or black outs.   Amy has joined forces with the @sober_sommelier Sarah Connelly get more AF options in our hospitality venues to sign the petition  please go to https://www.change.org/p/hospitality-venues-in-australia-alcohol-free-in-hospitality-australia or go to Amy's insta account for the link in her bio @dry_but_wet or to reach out to Amy go to her website https://www.drybutwet.com.au/This podcast was proudly brought to you by Monday Distillery,  purveyors of beautiful,  sugar free,  non-alcoholic beverages.   To find out more about them or to order some of their beautiful offerings head to https://mondaydistillery.com or  https://osunsparkling.com/Music for Monday Distillery ads by Ash GrunwaldMusic for Podcast intro and outro written by Danni Carr performed by Mr CassidyFor more info on the July 21,  challenge head to our website and jump on the mailing list. or for more resources go to www.iquitalcohol.com.auIf you are struggling with physical dependancy on alcohol consider contacting a local AA meeting or a drug and alcohol therapist.   Always consult a GP before stopping alcohol.  Hosted on Acast.
