Share your story

Sharing your story is a powerful way to raise awareness of the harm alcohol can cause and help make sure no one feels alone.

Perhaps you’ve taken on the Dry January® challenge, or made another change to your drinking and noticed a difference. Maybe you’re exploring your relationship with alcohol, or have faced challenges in the past and want to share what you’ve learned. You might also want to talk about a loved one’s drinking and how it has affected them or you.

You don’t need to write a finished or polished version of your story here - it won’t go straight onto the website. If your story is selected, someone from our team will work with you to shape it so it reflects what you want to say and you feel comfortable at every step.

Whatever your experience, big or small, we appreciate you choosing to share your story.

I'm happy for Alcohol Change UK to:

It's totally up to you how you tell your story! When we share stories they tend to be:

  • Between 250 and 750 words
  • Told in the first person ("I went to the shop..." rather than, "She went to the shop...")
  • As personal and detailed as you feel comfortable with.

Once you submit your story we can always work with you to tell it the way you'd like; just tick the box above saying that you're happy for us to contact you about your story.
