It's not something that people want to talk about. We choose to ignore the science and stats as we top up our glasses with Prosecco or head to the bar for another round.

Maz unpacks the SEVEN red flags she identified with during her sober curiosity. Red flags are behaviours which indicate you may be drinking too much, too often or that your drinking behaviour has become problematic or is having a negative impact on you.IOInGrPl93KVpkc0Os6DBlackouts, the voms, broken promises, the bad mood bear, hang-xiety, secret stashes & increased alcohol tolerance. If this were a test for problematic drinking, Maz in 2014 scored 100%! The point of identifying these red flags, is to then understand if your relationship with alcohol is having a negative effect on your life. If you identify with one or more of these red flags (again, remember Maz was 7/7) then here are some steps you can take towards embracing your sober curious self.Hello Sunday Morning https://hellosundaymorning.org/Alcoholics Anonymous 1300 222 222 (24 hours/day, 7 days/week)Tapped In https://tappedin.com.au/Beyond Blue https://www.beyondblue.org.au/ or 1300 224 636 (24 hours/day, 7 days/week) Hosted on Acast.

Boom Rethink the Drink, Yesterday I had a chance to talk with my friend Drifter for his Sober Town Podcast. It was International Women's Day so we had planned to talk about the toxicity of alcohol marketing directed at women, but after a couple of days of multiple postings in our communities on the deadly result of alcohol addiction, we decided instead to focus on the questions of "how do you stop drinking before it goes too far?" - "how do you help someone you love who seems lost to the bottle?" Drifter and I have both lost brothers to their addictions and we have both found solid dry ground after breaking out of our addictions. Do we have the answers to these questions with the years of personal experience we both have as the addicted and the loved one of the addict? We came up with two answers by the end of our talk and those answers were all about beacons and light houses. My beacons that guided me to stop drinking and stay sober were young and old and somewhere in between. We all grew up with the basic premise that handling our liquor was a badge of courage in cultures and families that celebrate drinking hard and handling it. Cultures and families that laugh at hangovers, distrust sobriety, celebrates the drug and shame the addict. All of us started drinking as a right of passage from childhood into adulthood. Some of us waited until we came of age and some of us started drinking younger but in one way or another we were mimicking the behavior of the adults that we knew. Maybe we admired their ability to function highly, to handle their booze, or maybe we said we'd never drink like they did, but drink we did because that is what adults do. Those adults were our beacons and we followed where they led us. It makes perfect sense that to find another path beacons of a different sort are needed. And it makes perfect sense that those of us who have fought our way out of addiction after helplessly watching loved ones die- chose to be lighthouses -- join us for our conversation and find the links to the communities and articles we discuss in the Boozemusings post below.    How Do You Help Someone Stop Drinking Before it's Too Late?

Join Wingy and Drifter as they talk: Neuroplasticity and the Discovery in Recovery - Open Your Mind to the Possibilities Neuroplasticity has fascinated me since I read Marc Lewis' book The Biology of Desire when I was 8 months sober. It was the last of many books that I read that year on the topic of addiction and recovery. One of the interesting things about Marc's book was that unlike the other books I had been reading it did not help me stop drinking, or inspire me to stay sober, but rather explained the awesome, unexpected growth that I was experiencing in recovery. It explained why my recovery felt quite a bit more like an adventure than a chore. Not recovery – discovery! The Biology of Desire examines how our brains can evolve and change if we break the isolation of addiction by reaching out creatively to evolve. It offers positive reflections of the experience that people can have by connecting with generosity of spirit rather than retreating in resentment when they stop using drugs and alcohol to numb out. As I read the book, rather than imagining the possibility of what Marc was describing, I recognized my experience in his words. I responded YES! That is exactly what's happening right now! My brain was growing and evolving as I wrote my way sober in a creative community, and Marc explained why through the science of neuroplasticity.   Befriending the part that wants to get high My Beautiful Mind at 1,000 days Sober How I Became Alcohol-Free – Thoughts on Neuroplasticity and Neurogenesis The Adventure of Discovery in Recovery – A Podcast with Thoughts on Neuroplasticity in Sobriety   Are you Sober Curious?

Wingy from "Boom Rethink the Drink" and Drifter sit down to chat about the marketing of alcohol before Super Bowl Sunday.   Super Bowl Sunday is one of the biggest challenges of the year for people who have recently stopped drinking. Alcohol will likely be a big feature of any Super Bowl party and if your friends don't know you've gone sober you may find yourself in an uncomfortable spot, deciding how much information to give or not about why you're partying alcohol-free. It's also a challenge that alcohol is a big feature of the Super Bowl itself in those much-anticipated commercials that may be triggering to the most determined newly sober person. The commercialization of addictive behavior is something that I blog about often. I have written post after post on the toxic mainstream media marketing of wine o'clock and mommy's wine time. One of the most toxic cultural trends of my adult life has been the sale of this lifestyle as consequence-free. It's packaged beautifully and artfully sold, everywhere from the grocery store to your television screen to your social media feed to the cinema, the idea that the problem is not the drink but the drinker becomes deeply ingrained in our subconscious.

Our relationship with alcohol. Thinking about drinking. How we feel about it. How it makes us feel. Whenever I share anything related to this topic, it always resonates. If it's not affecting us directly, we all know someone very close to us for whom it is. This is probably the number one topic that I get the most questions about and feedback on: people sharing their experiences with alcohol and drinking, questioning if it is a problem, wondering how do you stop, if that's even what you want to do. It's important that we talk about it, that we share and that we can learn from each other's experiences. It's always good to get new perspectives and to see ourselves in other people's experiences. Today's guest is Maria Augustus-Dunn. Originally from a large Aussie Greek family, Maria was raised in Melbourne, before retiring at 50 in 2011 to live life on the road with her husband Brad as grey nomads, travelling the highways and byways of Australia. A daily drinker from the age of 15, in 2013 at the age of 51, Maria decided to take a 12 month break from drinking. After experiencing the myriad benefits that not drinking provided, that 12 month break has continued until today. I met Maria at the start of 2013 on Hello Sunday Morning (HSM), when we both joined the platform in the same week. Having written and published two books over the last few years, Maria's writing philosophy is to write about what you know. And today we are going to talk about what you know, in relation to Maria's experience of giving up alcohol, and enjoying A Big Sober Life.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From a simple idea in 2010 to take 12 months off drinking and see what happened, Chris Raine's blog (called Hello Sunday Morning) documenting that journey turned into a movement aimed at changing Australia's relationship with alcohol. From just a handful of followers, by 2013 over 10,000 people (including me!) had joined up with Hello Sunday Morning to reassess our relationship with alcohol. By 2014 Chris and his team evolved the Hello Sunday Morning organisation into a $4 million, Government-funded health service that now supports one of the largest communities in the world with evidence-based care for alcohol behaviour change. After ten years at Hello Sunday Morning, in 2020, Chris stepped down as CEO and took a six-month sabbatical, to explore and understand more deeply who he was and what made him tick. In 2021, Chris began working on Australians for Mental Health – an advocacy campaign focused on ensuring Australian Governments invest 1% of GDP to implement the recommendations highlighted by the Productivity Commission and Royal Commission into Mental Health reports. In this episode of the podcast, we talk about: the Hello Sunday Morning back story what he is up to now, addiction, connection, community, kindness, compassion and generosity of spirit, mental health, the human condition, healing, life purpose, slowing down, taking the pressure off, and what it is to be a good person and live a good life.

Whether it's decreasing the amount consumed or quitting completely, changing alcohol habits can be a lonely journey. Having a supportive community is vital for long term success – but, is being part of an online community as effective as in-person support? Dominique Robert-Hendren is the Head of Clinical Innovation and Chief Clinical Psychologist at Hello Sunday Morning and is also our special guest for this week. She is a community educator and national speaker on person-centred and recovery-focussed programs and strategies. Hello Sunday Morning (HSM) is an Australian not-for-profit organisation whose mission is to help people who want to change their relationship with alcohol. Five years ago, Hello Sunday Morning developed and launched the prototype of what is now the Daybreak app - a behaviour-change program which taps into the power of anonymous community support to help people who want to change their drinking habits. Today, more than 65,000 Australians have now downloaded and registered with the app. Dominique Robert-Hendren joins us today to delve into the Daybreak app: how it works, what is known about its efficacy, and the process of transforming it from a lifestyle app to a clinically-useful adjunct for supporting people to reduce their dependence on alcohol.

This week, for Dry July, we delve into last year's Mindful Drinking Festival archives to hear the fantastic conversation between Australian charity CEOs and sobriety experts Andy Moore and Shanna Whan as they discuss the problems Australians face when thinking about changing their drinking.  From having personal experiences with alcohol that changed their lives to Andy becoming the CEO of Hello Sunday Morning and Shanna setting up Sober in the Country, their frank, informal discussion covers the rural and urban challenges both organisations help to address when helping people to change their drinking.Who is Shanna Whan?Shanna is the founder and CEO of Sober in the Country, a registered charity encouraging Australians to open up and talk about drinking culture and addiction recovery, especially in rural areas. Shanna describes herself as a recovered alcoholic, recognising her journey is still ongoing but she no longer needs alcohol in her life.'I have a story of addiction', says Shanna, 'and so I decided to be the change and, to summarise it, our mission and our focus as the charity Sober in the Country is to teach Ozzy mates in the bush that it's okay to say no to a beer'.Who is Andy Moore?Andy is the Chief Executive of Hello Sunday Morning, a New South Wales-based charitable organisation that helps people to change their drinking habits, whether that's cutting down or stopping altogether. Andy is also one of the founders of the Daybreak App, a free app for Australians who choose the peer support platform to help change their drinking. Andy has personal experience in cutting down his alcohol consumption for his mental and physical health, and that's helped shape his passion for the work that he does with Hello Sunday Morning.Support the show (https://joinclubsoda.com/product/tip-jar-support-club-soda/)

This week, the Fix This team chatted with Hello Sunday Morning (HSM), an Australian nonprofit organization. HSM uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) to help change people's relationship with alcohol consumption by providing access to professional health support and a community of like-minded individuals looking to change their alcohol consumption habits. To better understand how the AWS Cloud helps scale the app by ten-fold, the team spoke to Andy Moore, chief executive officer of HSM. Andy discussed the mobile app, Daybreak, which offers 24/7 support to those in need.

In this episode Chris Raine talks about Hello Sunday Morning and how they are helping people understand the relationship they have with alcohol.

According to WHO, 3 million deaths every year result from harmful use of alcohol. These deaths represent 5.3 % of all deaths. Australian organization Hello Sunday Morning has been tackling alcohol abuse for over a decade, with a digital approach, that has by today been developed to the level of a soon to be a digital therapeutic (DTx). Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and lock-down across the world, Hello Sunday Morning has been noticing an increase in alcohol consumption.In this episode,  Jamie Moore who is a  General Manager & Daybreak Co-Founder of Daybreak program at the Australian organisanition Hello Sunday Morning, talks about the early days of Hello Sunday Morning, the drinking culture in Australia and the meaning of community support in tacking alcohol addiction. When the organisation was founded over ten years ago, the emphasis was on binge drinking. By today, the user structure has changed and  Daybreak members are predominantly dependent drinkers, they are very much on the heavy end of drinking with 40+ drinks per week, while some users are moderate drinkers.

Katie wants to take a break from drinking and see if it helps her train harder, sleep better and to see if she can continue to socialise when alcohol isn’t involved.

How do we cope with the pressure everyday? When the world is demanding so much of us, what tools are we given to get through as best we can? The truth is - most of us have been handed down unhealthy ways of dealing with pressure. And whether it's alcohol, over-eating, social media, or something else that just drains you even more, it's time we acknowledged as women that we need a new way. We need to learn how to honour rest and what our body is telling us. Talitha Cummins' story is so important to share: after chasing a career in TV journalism for many years, Talitha found her reliance on alcohol was getting out of control. Now as a mama to one (with one on the way), she is here to share with us how she faced her addictions, and found a healthier set of tools to really live a fulfilled life. Yes, this is a story about alcoholism, but it's also a story about all of us, and the tools we use to help us in times of struggle. For more information on the tools you can use in your life, please go to Talitha's website, or Hello Sunday Morning, or the Happy Mama Reconnect Program. 

How can I improve my relationship with alcohol? Why would someone want to improve their relationship with alcohol? How can I support the people in my life when it comes to having a healthy relationship with drugs & alcohol? What might a better drinking culture look like? What is running a non profit/charitable organisation like? Today on the Create a Life that is Beautiful Podcast, Leticia is speaking with Chris Raine, the CEO and Founder of Hello Sunday Morning ("HSM"). HSM is an Australian based, world-wide charity/non-profit organisation helping people to improve their relationship with alcohol. HSM was established in 2009 by Chris himself when he began a blog with the same name to share his experience giving up alcohol for a year. At this time, Chris was 22 years old living in the Sunshine Coast in Australia. He was working evenings as a night club promoter and during the day in advertising when the brief to quit alcohol for a year was presented to him. Thinking the task before him would be quite easy, Chris was intrigued to find his relationship with alcohol ran much deeper than he thought and 8 months into the experiment he had discovered a purpose that ran much bigger than he could have ever imagined. “WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT ISN'T ABOUT THE DRUG, IT'S WHAT'S BEHIND THAT AND PROCESSING THE ANXIETIES AND STRESSES THAT OFTEN LEAD US TO USING IT IN EXCESS.” Hello Sunday Morning today is a for purpose organisation servicing governments, individuals and corporates towards a better drinking culture. Rather than removing alcohol from society the aim of HSM is to provide people with more awareness as to the reasons why they are drinking so that they can make conscious choices around their consumption. Their signature program Daybreak provides users with access to trained clinical psychologists with speciality experience in giving tips and strategies for alcohol. Anyone can access this program whether that be with the intention to limit, remove or simply reconsider their relationship with alcohol. "OUR VISION IS A WORLD WHERE DRINKING IS AN INDIVIDUAL CHOICE, NOT AN EXPECTATION." Chris explains in the episode that many of the people who go through their program will end up giving up alcohol for good or for extended periods, with himself a regular user of the program.

On the eve of what will be a big social, drunken event tonight for many, Matt chats with the CEO and Founder of Hello Sunday Morning, Chris Raine. At 22, and after many drunken nights, Chris decided he would go alcohol free for a year to see what life would be like without it. Oh how his life changed. Chris created ‘Hello Sunday Morning’ to allow others to enjoy living life alcohol free. Fast forward to today and his organisation has over 100,000 registered participants living life without alcohol. Enjoy this ‘sobering’ conversation with the man behind a very refreshing initiative.

Chris Raine is the founder and CEO on the not-for-profit “Hello Sunday Morning” you can find him on Twitter by following @ckraine. And if you like, you can download that app daybreak. Downloaded from wherever you download me. Hello Sunday morning is all about creating a healthy relationship to alcohol. So when is conversation Chris and I talk a lot about his journey with alcohol, I talk about my journey with alcohol-most of the story you may have heard before but if you’re new it'll be the first time. This conversation maybe confronting. All I ask is that you listen. If you feel afterwards inspired to approach your next drink differently-good for you. If you don't, also good for you. I thoroughly recommend checking out their website https://www.hellosundaymorning.org/ and just spending some time, exploring various questions they have to ask. You may go there because you're concerned about someone else-well there is support there for you as well. I'm really grateful Chris came around, he's doing very important work in our community. I'm one of these people as I told you before that can't have one drink because then I'll have 100. You might be lucky, you might be able to only have a few and then stop. Or you might be somewhere between. Whatever your relationship is to alcohol, I'm grateful you're here and I'm really grateful you listening to this. Enjoy this conversation with Chris Raine.

How do you change something as endemic in Australian culture as excessive alcohol consumption? This isn’t a typical consulting job. It requires a design partnership.
