๐ŸนโŒ Feeling like itโ€™s time for a reset? Sober October is your chance to take a break from alcohol, boost your health ๐Ÿ’ช, sleep better ๐Ÿ˜ด, save money ๐Ÿ’ท, AND raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support ๐ŸŽ—๏ธ๐Ÿ’š

Whether you're doing it for your body, your mind, or someone you love - itโ€™s the perfect excuse to say no thanks to that drink and yes to a better you ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿง 

โš ๏ธ Be careful of slipping into drinking more than usual - especially once October ends.

Try to build healthy habits that last:
โœ… Make alcohol-free days a regular thing
โœ… Know your limits
โœ… Reach out for support if you're struggling

๐Ÿ›‘ Sign up and go booze-free this October ๐Ÿ‘‰ https://www.gosober.org.uk ๐Ÿบ

๐Ÿšญ October is Stoptober - your chance to take control of your health and quit smoking for good ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ”ฅ

Whether you've quit, started again, or switched to va**ng, itโ€™s vital to let your doctor know. Why? Because smoking directly affects the treatment and management of long-term conditions like:

๐Ÿง  Stroke or TIA
๐Ÿ’‰ High blood pressure (hypertension)
๐Ÿฉธ Type 2 diabetes
๐Ÿซ COPD and asthma (in adults)
๐Ÿ’ญ History of psychosis, schizophrenia or bipolar disorder
๐Ÿšฐ Chronic kidney disease (CKD)

Your smoking status plays a big role in your care plan. Donโ€™t keep it to yourself - tell your GP.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Want to quit? Help is out there:
๐Ÿ‘‰ Speak to your GP
