There are lots of myths about #alcoholharm and this #AlcoholAwarenessWeek we are setting the story straight. Alcohol harm can affect any one of us, regardless of our age, background or location. It can impact our health and wellbeing in all sorts of ways, sometimes on a daily basis - from the quality of the sleep we’re getting to our relationships with those we love. 🚨However, ending alcohol harm is totally possible! It will require bold changes that address things like how alcohol is sold and marketed to us; making sure we are properly informed about our own risks from drinking alcohol; and tackling the stigma associated with seeking help for drinking issues – giving us all a better chance of living in a society where alcohol takes less of a centre-stage role.

If you’ve recently decided to reduce your alcohol consumption, saying no to a drink in social settings can be challenging at first. Creating a plan can help. Here are some tips to help limit drinking: - Start by steering clear of situations where resisting alcohol is tough, opt for activities that don’t center around drinking. - Practice your response to offers of alcohol. Remember, “no thank you” is a complete sentence. You don’t owe anyone an explanation. - Plan an exit strategy if you find it hard to decline drinks. Leaving early is always an option. - Explore mocktails or non-alcoholic beverages as refreshing alternatives. - Engage in friendships with people who support your change in lifestyle. Avoiding alcohol takes practice, but it does get easier over time. Stay patient and compassionate with yourself.
