Topic Tuesday // Alcohol // Tuesday 23rd November, 7:00- 8:30PM AEDT

Hi SANE Community,

This fortnight we will be having a discussion about alcohol with our special guest Hello Sunday Morning

Why Alcohol?

We are noticing here on the SANE forums there is a continuing theme around alcohol use, with many of our valued members expressing their concern around their use of alcohol as well as a desire to perhaps cut down or stop completely, but not knowing how to do that.

This week we have partnered with our friends at Hello Sunday morning to discuss strategies to cut down and manage alcohol use in a hope to have a better understanding of our relationship with alcohol and how to be the one in control, rather than letting alcohol control us.

Who is Hello Sunday Morning?

Hello Sunday Morning is a health service with an aim to “change the world’s relationship with alcohol, One Sunday at a time!” 1 in 20 Australians see drinking as a problem and that’s why Hello Sunday Morning is supporting people through the development of their ‘daybreak app’ who want to abstain, cut back or establish a better relationship with alcohol.

This will be an open discussion with a representative of the Hello Sunday Morning team so our users can ask questions and hopefully find some support if they are looking to change their relationship with alcohol. As always, peer support workers will be in the background to share their experience and ensure everyone is safe and supported. This is a space for us all to share and learn from each other, please remember to be respectful, safe and anonymous.

Please join us here on Tuesday the 23rd of November 2021 from 7:00pm-8:30pm AEST to follow this conversation.
