Brilliant idea 😍

3652 days ago.

I quit smoking for Stoptober 2013. I raised a nice bit of cash for Target Ovarian - in fact, I raised £1200 - which meant I felt a bit too embarrassed to start smoking again so just stayed quit 😍

At £10 a pack and 20 cigs a day - that’s about £36,520 not spent.

In reality - it’s £14 a pack now. £51,128 - and I was on around 25-30 a day by the time I quit.

If anyone spots that swag of cash - I seem to have misplaced it so please let me know 😂

If you are taking a month off cigs or booze this October - good luck 😊🙏🤞

How to support a friend during Go Sober October

Arrange a social where alcohol isn’t normally a thing - bowling, walk, cinema….
Don’t make them feel like the dull friend who doesn’t drink and is stuck on lime and soda
Don’t arrange a huge p**s up for 1st November
Sponsor them if they are doing it for charity
Forward details of sober events
If a work colleague is doing it and alcohol is part of the work culture, find a way to help them stay sober.
Be interested and ask how it is going. Encourage them.
Find podcasts or links to the sober community
Be a friend.

And here is why ….
You have no idea who is battling a drink issue. Some people have never done a block of time without a drink and the idea of a month is a huge challenge. It’s been years for some people. Some people are doing it because they recognise alcohol is an issue and being part of a crowd is helpful for motivation. Some people have been seeing a counsellor about their drinking. Some people are absolutely desperate to quit and need to quit. Some people are on their last chance before they hit a proverbial brick wall.

Be a mate. Be supportive. Ask if everything is ok. Be there.

(If your body has become used to high levels of daily alcohol, then stopping suddenly can be dangerous. Seek medical advice or ring drink line for anonymous advice).
