I would love to say milestones are not important. Most of the time I don't think about how long I have been alcohol-free. I just am. It is just a way of life.

But when another year comes along it feels a bit monumental. I can't help but feel amazed that I am still alcohol-free and what is more that it is a way of life I love and cherish.

This is what I want most of all for you too. It takes work, but it is worth it. And if you want to know what 8 years alcohol-free feels like then join me tomorrow evening for a live on Facebook and Instagram. There are more details below.

Cheers!

Laura and the Club Soda Team

How much are Club Soda members drinking in isolation?

Last month, we asked you how you were doing during this Covid-19 pandemic. And the results are now here. The good news is that some of you are drinking less than before, and even enjoying some aspects of being in lockdown.

But the bad news is that many are drinking more, and most of you are feeling at least some negative feelings and emotions. We will use the findings to come up more help and support for you, like our Sober Weekender programme last weekend.

What you gain from 8 years alcohol-free

Laura Willoughby, the founder of Club soda, has reached an alcohol-free milestone. Join her on her 8 year mindful drinking AF anniversary for a very special live on Facebook and Instagram.

She will share her inspirational story, reveal what has changed and what she has gained, and discover the things she wishes she had known before she gave up.

Wherever you are in your journey, join Laura on the Club Soda Facebook page, the Together group and Instagram Live on Monday evening at 8pm (BST) and discover how Laura’s experience has shaped Club Soda, and how it has helped tens of thousands of people change their drinking.

Grab a drink, bring your questions, and join in.
