Irish research indicates the reason we drink too much is because we want to feel connected to others.
One of the hard parts of reducing our drinking is feeling lost and disconnected from our social life and friends because so much of Irish life revolves around drinking. We looked at setting up an Irish discussion board to help. Problem is though we’re such a small population could people’s details become known? So we met with Lucy of Soberistas.
Soberistas is an anonymous community of over 35,000 women who chat and support each other in solving their drinking problem in a really friendly, practical and positive way. There’s no shame or judgements. Founder Lucy Rocca had her own drink problems and she’s passionate about helping others. You can read her blog posts on our blog.
Soberistas has been evaluated by Southampton University and the evidence shows women find it really helpful. Because so many women have joined from all over the world, it means you can be confident you will remain anonymous.
So we really recommend joining the Soberistas discussion board, You can try it out for free for a trial period. Valerie has already joined. You can see her profile here.
