  • Harmless fun, or a dangerous menace to YOUR relationship… how Alcohol supports (or damages!) your relationship with Alcohol Freedom Coach Sammie Clarke

    Harmless fun, or a dangerous menace to YOUR relationship… how Alcohol supports (or damages!) your relationship with Alcohol Freedom Coach Sammie Clarke
    Mar 12 2025
    Alcohol is embedded in our culture… not just the high spirits in your town centre on a Friday night, but virtually any social or work event that you can attend. So if everyone is doing it, what could possibly go wrong, right? And how about in your relationship? Have you ever done anything while drinking that you regretted, even something that harmed your relationship? Where is the line between a bit of harmless fun, and a habit that could lead to real issues for you and in your relationship? Is there a healthy level of alcohol which could be beneficial for us? Sammie Clarke is an alcohol detox coach who has worked in addiction for 25 years, having worked with literally thousands of people on the journey to freedom! We are going to be looking at: - How does alcohol consumption affect relationships, especially when there are challenges - What exactly is Alcohol Use Disorder, and how do people get affected by alcohol differently even with the same consumption - How alcohol can impact on our freedom, even if we’re not actively drinking and what does true liberation mean? - How social attitudes are changing, in the same way that the harm of smoking is better understood now that it was in the past - What is a safe or healthy level of alcohol and what does the research show us?
