A world at your fingertips
Mindful Drinking is about choice, and is different for everyone. What does it mean for you to think about your drinking, and what are your drinking goals? You may worry that you are drinking too much alcohol in social situations or on your own; you may want to lose a few kilos or live a healthier lifestyle. You might want to enjoy a beer or glass of wine at lunch and go back to work clear-headed and at your best. You might want to drive home without having to worry about the cops, a jail sentence or worse. You might be considering giving up alcohol for a while to check your dependency – whether it’s on weekdays or for a month. You may want to sample lower-alcohol alternatives or even go completely alcohol-free.
These are all options – you decide. No-one is judging your decision. In fact, you may find a lot of support, as perceptions about alcohol are changing rapidly and your good friends will respect you for any choice you make that improves your life.
