Friendly chat about drinking worries (free)

Recommended Posts

I provide free, confidential help for anyone worried about alcohol. I have authored a drinking memoir called ?Not Alcoholic, But?? and I am a volunteer recovery worker within the borough of Southwark (I am not, however, a medic or professional). If you would like a friendly chat about your drinking, either in person or over the phone, please email me at [email protected] and we can arrange a time. Or if you don?t want to chat, we can just email instead. I am based in East Dulwich and I am offering this to anyone in the catchment of the East Dulwich Forum.

People think that controlling alcohol is all about cutting down and then maybe even cutting out booze.


Because of this, many heavy drinkers bury their heads in the sand because they don?t wish to do either of these.


Well, here is a new approach. The details are all at www.notalcoholicbut.com

What this website advocates is you take an in-depth look at how you drink (not how much). It provides a simple (free) guide to help you understand what you want from alcohol each time you drink.


In a short time (2-3 weeks) you will have a much better idea about the feelings and sensations you are seeking when you pick up a glass. This will help you decipher when the alcohol has done its job for the day.


If you do it right, the process will inevitably and probably inadvertently result in a reduction in consumption over time; but all the more effective for being driven by desire instead of self-enforcement.

Anyone can benefit from the process. Why not give it a go - www.notalcoholicbut.com It?ll be so much more enjoyable than Sober October and Dry January, with a real chance of lasting success.


Once you have a better sense of control, you will be well placed to make judgements on what to do next - from real choice.

Please tell your friends about notalcoholicbut.com

    • https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/police-hunt-attack-south-london-b1247389.html Apologies if already posted on here - did look, couldn't find anything... 'The Metropolitan Police have appealed for help to find a man after a woman was seriously injured in an unprovoked attack in south London. The woman, in her 20s, was assaulted on Lordship Lane in East Dulwich at around 4.45pm on Monday August 25. She was treated by paramedics for injuries to her face and her jaw was broken in the attack. The victim was then taken to hospital and she continues to be supported by specialist officers. Officers are now searching for the suspect and are urging members of the public to come forward if they have information. He is described as a black man in his 30s or 40s with balding hair. He was wearing dark clothing during the attack. He is said to have approached the woman while she was by herself before swearing at her and then hitting her in the face. Detective constable Charlotte Kerr, who is leading the investigation, said: “We are working hard to find the person we believe is responsible for this senseless and unprovoked attack. “While we continue our enquiries, we hope our increased neighbourhood police presence will offer some reassurance to women and girls throughout the local area. “If you saw anything on Monday, 25 August – particularly between the junction of Lordship Lane and Chesterfield Grove at around 16:45hrs - do not hesitate to get in touch with us. “No matter how small you think your information is, it may be the key that unlocks our investigation.” Any witnesses or anyone who can help identify the suspect is asked to please contact the Met via 101, quoting 5018/25AUG or 01/7897951/25. Those who wish to share information anonymously can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.'
    • We live a little further down, on Pymers Mead. Traffic is terrible (always has been, but worse since the introduction of the Southwark LTNs). It's mainly the school drop -- traffic is noticeably lighter once the private schools break up  Have a few friends who live on that side of CR backing on to the train line. None has had any major complaints and the gardens on that stretch are fairly long, so you're not right on the line. Some have kids who go to Charter North -- its catchment defintely extends to Croxted Road. Other state secondaries nearby are Elmgreen and, of course, Kingsdale, although that doesn't have a catchment -- pure lottery
