Tag: Hello Sunday Morning

A big part of how we support our community is through sharing stories and encouraging each other.

At the end of last year, we asked our Hello Sunday Morning community to share messages of hope and encouragement – to anyone struggling over the holiday season. These messages are too empowering not to share with you all.

Hello Sunday Morning’s Dominique Robert-Hendren, Head of Clinical Innovation and Digital reminds us that the demands of the holidays can be stressful. Particularly when taking a mindful approach to your alcohol consumption – but you are not alone.

With another year come and gone – what a year it has been! As I reflect on 2022, it’s clear there have been many great achievements, but there is much work that still needs to be done.

For Emma it wasn’t until she was faced with serious health challenges, was so forced to address her relationship with alcohol.

For Tom, years of drinking started to take a toll on his self-esteem. Slowly he began to suspect that he had no longer been in control, but rather that alcohol was controlling him. It wasn’t until once he stopped drinking – was he able to rebuild his self-esteem and build a better relationship with himself.

After 5 years alcohol-free, CB thought he might be able to ‘drink responsibly’ again. So, he ordered a glass of wine to pair with his curry.

That was the beginning of a 4-year rollercoaster relationship with alcohol. Read how he broke the cycle.
