Three Women Share How They Gave Up Drinking For Good

End of year celebrations come with… lots. Lots of eating, lots of socialising, and lots of chances to drink alcohol. For a lot of us, social drinks to tie a ribbon around the end of the year is par for the course. But for some people end of year drinks can be a nightmare, a chance to slip into risk drinking behaviours.  Today we meet three women who actually gave up drinking, all in very different ways and learn what advice they have to share as we charge ahead through the festive period.  If you’re facing a sober Christmas and think you’ll be struggling, know you’re not alone. You can always reach out for help amongst your own community or speak with an expert.
