Dr Alex George, who found fame on season four of the ITV2 reality television show Love Island before returning to his day job as NHS doctor, has opened about going sober and the reason behind it. Posting to Instagram, the 31-year-old from Camarthen, who is the UK Youth Mental Health Ambassador within the Department for Education, revealed how he had become "sober-curious" and shared how alcohol affects his ADHD (Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). He also stated that he needed to process feelings with a clear head.
Alongside four slides which detail his reason for giving up alcohol, he captioned the social media post: "I am going sober. Here’s why. Thank you for your community, love and support. Please share your personal experiences below, it will undoubtedly help me and I am sure others too. Thank you."
The slides read: "I have made the decision to go sober. There is a societal assumption that if someone has gone sober then they must have some serious 'problem' and be at 'rock bottom'. I drink a couple of times a week, and have good 'control' of my consumption. But recently I have been questioning why I drink at all. I have become sober-curious.
