Club Soda: Laura Willoughby's Vision for a Healthier Drinking Culture

We have been listening to Laura Willoughby, the founder of club soda, and I call the firecracker who's actually changing institutions- pub institutions- in the Uk, in the way they think about drinking.
Ever wondered how society's view on drinking could be transformed? In this episode of the Buddhist Recovery Network Podcast, Laura Willoughby, founder of Club Soda, shares her personal journey with alcohol and her mission to create a supportive community for those looking to change their drinking habits. Laura opens up about her own experiences and the motivation behind starting Club Soda, a space where people can set goals and reflect on their drinking patterns before they become problematic.
She talks about the importance of mindful drinking and how it can help individuals make more conscious choices. The conversation also touches on the history of the temperance movement and its relevance to modern efforts in changing drinking culture. Laura's insights on building a community for change, learning from others, and navigating a world that often revolves around alcohol are both inspiring and practical.
Whether you're looking to cut back on your drinking or support someone who is, this episode offers valuable perspectives and a sense of hope. Tune in to hear more about how you can be part of a movement that challenges the stigma around non-drinking and promotes healthier relationships with alcohol.
