Have you ever considered taking a break from alcohol?
Maybe you’ve tried and failed. Or maybe you’ve done a ‘Dry July or ‘Feb Fast’, only to immediately slip back into old habits.
If so, you are not alone.
For many of us, myself included, our relationship with alcohol is on auto-pilot. We often drink out of habit, without stopping to think why. And sometimes we end up regretting it later.
Ruari Fairbairns is the Co-Founder and CEO of ‘One Year No Beer’, an organisation that has helped over 100,000 members change their relationship with alcohol.
In this interview, Rauri shares the story and inspiration behind OYNB and explains some of the hidden benefits of taking a tactical break from alcohol.
