I think for me it's about getting it straight in your head why you're doing this. It's not there saying: oh, I've got that temptation. But if you're trying to change your relationship with alcohol, cut it out or cut it down, a pub surrounded by drunk friends, maybe encouraging you, isn't going to be the best place to go.
Starting an alcohol-free journey can feel like stepping into the unknown. In this episode of 'Over The Influence', BBC presenter Sharon Hartley and Guinness World Record holder Freddie Bennett tackle those daunting first steps. From navigating your first social event without a drink to telling your friends about your decision, Sharon and Freddie share their personal stories and practical advice to help you succeed.
