Over The Influence: The Alcohol Free Podcast The OTI Premium Podcast

In this episode we welcome our lovely community member and jet setter Sue to the podcast!

Sue is just about to hit her two year alcohol free milestone, an amazing achievement and we're so proud to have been a part of her AF journey.

We talk all about why Sue felt it was time to knock drinking on the head for good and how joining our Over The Influence community helped overcome some of the challenges that ditching the booze can bring. It's all about reframing it: you're not losing the booze, you're gaining everything else.

Thanks so much to Sue for coming on the pod, we love having you as part of our community and thoroughly enjoyed our natter!

In this episode we welcome Kelly from Scotland onto Over The Influence!

Kelly has just celebrated a whole year alcohol free - although she has been part of our OTI Community for a little longer than that. Kelly's story is about the importance of keeping on - and even though it has been far from easy, she talks about why being AF is so important to her.

Kelly talks about the importance of action when it comes to sustaining an alcohol-free lifestyle - and how it's as much about positive mental and physical health as it is about not drinking.

We are so glad that we finally persuaded Kelly to tell her story - she's a lighthouse within our community, and now she will help thousands of others with it. Well done our Scottish Kelly!

In this episode we welcome Scott Woolley onto Over The Influence!

Scott is a FDAP Substance Misuse Professional and the founder of Arclett,
which is a community brand devoted to removing the stigma attached to sober living.

Thanks Scott for coming on OTI!
