Christine CoulsonBee Sober Ambassador

I’d always been a ‘drinker’ - the boozy one of my friends but it was during the pandemic that things began to come to a head. Living alone, my drinking went unnoticed during lockdown and when I tried to cut down in 2021 I found it impossible.

I took the decision to quit entirely and have been sober since the 3rd January 2022.

I attended my first Bee Sober brunch that very same month - nervous as to who would go to these things?!?! What would we talk about?!?! Turns out the nerves were totally unnecessary as over the years I have met an amazing group of likeminded people locally and am proud that my ‘sober mates’ have helped me so much in my journey.
