📊 New research alert: 64% of UK employees say they’ve turned to alcohol because of job-related pressure - including stress, anxiety, deadlines, and social expectations. Shockingly, nearly 10% feel pressured by colleagues or line managers to drink at work events.

🍷 It might seem like “just one more pint,” but using alcohol to cope with work stress or to fit in can normalise harmful habits and make real support harder to access. We need to start talking about this - and creating workplace cultures where wellbeing comes first.

✅ What can we do?
• Offer non-alcoholic options at work socials
• Respect people’s choices not to drink
• Promote healthier ways to deal with stress and burnout

Let’s shift the culture. Have you ever felt pressure to drink at work? Share your thoughts below 👇

📣 I’m in the Daily Mail Online this weekend!

For years, I told myself I didn’t have a problem. Even as the blackouts mounted. Even as my self-worth crumbled. Even as alcohol became the thread I clung to in the chaos of early single motherhood.

But one terrifying night changed everything.

You can read the full article here - it’s from the heart, and written for every woman who’s ever thought, “It’s not that bad… is it?”

If you're questioning your drinking, know this:
You're not alone. You're not weak. And it's never too late to begin again.

✋ Ever noticed how alcohol is the only drug where people get defensive if you stop using it?

That’s not an accident. That’s a multibillion-pound industry making damn sure you never question it.

They’ve made it normal to drink to cope. To celebrate. To parent. To unwind.
And if alcohol starts ruining your life? That’s on you, apparently.

Here’s the truth:
Alcohol is addictive by design.
It’s marketed as glamorous, social, empowering. But behind the glossy ads is a toxic substance that kills 7,000+ people every year in the UK alone.

The problem was never you.
It’s the product.
It’s the system.
It’s the decades of manipulation dressed up as “fun.”

So if you’re waking up to the lies?
Welcome.
You’re not broken. You’re getting wise.

The alcohol industry has spent billions convincing you that alcohol is harmless - even healthy.
But behind the pink labels and the clever slogans lies a brutal truth:
They depend on you drinking too much, feeling ashamed, and blaming yourself.

So let’s be real:

❌ “Please drink responsibly” isn’t protection. It’s propaganda.
❌ They suppress the truth about cancer, anxiety, and trauma.
❌ They need you to stay numb, because clarity doesn’t convert.

But you’re here.
You’re questioning.
You’re sober - or trying to be.

And that? That’s rebellion.

This is why we do what we do. 💛
Real words from a Soberistas member who's turned their life around.
Because when you find your people… the ones who get it… everything starts to change.

The UK’s new 10-Year Health Plan talks a big game on prevention - but when it comes to alcohol, it’s a masterclass in avoidance.

No pricing reform.
No ad restrictions.
No challenge to the industry profiting from harm.

Behind the headlines? Lobbyists.
Behind the stats? Real people suffering.

This isn’t good enough.
It’s not brave.
It’s not public health.
It’s profit protection - plain and simple.

If you truly care about health, truth, and putting people first - share this.

🚨 Alcohol causes cancer - and most people don’t even know.

Every single day in the UK, 46 people are diagnosed with cancer linked to alcohol. That’s over 17,000 lives changed forever each year. And yet… there’s still no national strategy in England to tackle alcohol harm.

🎗️ It’s time for change.
We’re calling on the UK Government to introduce a bold National Alcohol Strategy that includes:
✅ Mandatory health warnings about the cancer risk
✅ Minimum unit pricing
✅ Stricter marketing rules to reduce harm

Breast cancer survivor Nikki Bednall put it best:

“If I’d known earlier, I might have made different choices. No one should have to wait for a diagnosis to learn the truth about alcohol.”

This isn’t about shame. It’s about truth, transparency, and giving people the facts they need to make informed choices.

🚨 This Sunday at 7pm BST

We’re diving deep into one of the most important (but rarely talked about) topics in sobriety: the link between trauma and alcohol.

Whether it’s big-T trauma or the quiet kind that shapes our nervous systems over time, unresolved pain often fuels the drinking cycle - and keeps us stuck.

This week's Sober Sunday School features special guest Sam Roome, who’ll help you:

💥 Understand how trauma and alcohol interact
🧠 Learn practical tools to override drinking thoughts
💛 Build more self-compassion and emotional resilience

It’s one of our most powerful sessions yet.

📅 Sunday 29th June

She remembered who she was. And stopped drinking.
Because alcohol was never part of the real her.
