Participating in Sober October with Life Matters

Dunedin, Otago

Raising money and awareness for Life Matters to ensure people that are feeling suicidal or struggling have somewhere where they can get help and support.

Our next generation needs to grows up talking openly about mental health so that we do not lose any at their own hands ❤️

After the suicide of my partner Jezza I started to rely on alcohol - it helped numb the pain and temporarily escape my reality. Unfortunately, alcohol also acts as a depressant so often I came out feeling worse or getting upset while drinking.

I’m now more conscious about what I drink, where and who with and I have a much healthier relationship with it.

Giving up for a month will still be tough - especially with warmer weather and bbq season on its way in. I’m going to challenge myself by attending social events where I would usually feel the most comfortable with a drink in hand

I’d appreciate any support or donations big or small! Thankyou 🙏
