There are so many great No & Low alcohol choices out there nowadays - one of our favs is Shipyard Low tide. Will you consider #SoberSpring and enjoy a 3 Month Sabbatical off boozing. @AlcoholChangeUK @milliegooch @thepagey @MilitaryBanter alcoholchange.org.uk/blog/20…

Here at @4Alpha1 we aren't concerned with being sober but rather helping to change relationships with alcohol. Here is a good article I read earlier this month. @MilitaryBanter vice.com/en/article/pkp889/h…

Coming back from easter leave? I hope it was a good bit of down time. What activities did you get up to that didn't include drinking?

There are lots of ways to stop or cut down drinking. The most important thing to know is that you don't need to do it alone. 4-alpha.co.uk/blog/steps-to-… @82Paulhine

With regret 4-Alpha will close from Feb 22. The peer to peer network, website and accounts have been self funded and sustained by a small team (2) of volunteers. We now think this is unsustainable and without a sponsor or adoption by the wider Army it will now lapse. Pagey

Hello everybody. I’m after volunteers who went sober last year and have stuck to it - to share their experience with a publication. If you want more deets please DM. Your example can help others. Your story is important. @thepagey
