Club Soda launches free weekend course
The recent survey reveals that 8.6 million British adults say they are drinking more in lock down, and have reported increased anxiety and conflict as a result.
In response, Club Soda, the mindful drinking movement is launching a free weekend course and live event to help people beat lock down drinking and start a happier and healthier May.
The Sober Weekender runs over four days, 1st–4th May, giving people the chance to reflect on their drinking habits, boost their well-being, connect with others, and build new mindful drinking intentions for the month ahead and is completely free to join.
The weekend has been specifically developed to tackle the challenges of lock down drinking, and designed to kick start change for anyone who wants to get to grips with their drinking, either by cutting down or going alcohol-free for the longer-term.
The Sober Weekender incorporates live and interactive sessions, including webinars on choosing alcohol-free drinks, mindfulness and meditation, and online panel discussions on well-being and the benefits of changing your drinking habits.
It is for everyone, whether you want to cut down, go alcohol-free or are just curious about changing your drinking.
Laura Willoughby, MBE, Club Soda co-founder, note that: ‘We know from talking to Club Soda members that anxiety and stress are having a massive impact on people’s well-being in lock down.
‘Drinking more makes these problems worse, and we wanted to do something to help. Whether you want to cut down your drinking or quit completely, the Sober Weekender is a great way to kick start change.
Willoughby noted that: ‘We hope it becomes a habit for people too, taking regular breaks from drinking is a great way of being healthier and happier, especially in lock down.’
