A recovering alcoholic has taken her support for other people in a similar situation to her to another level.
Dorothea Richtoff has set up a Liverpool FC supporters club for people who no longer drink alcohol to make matches more enjoyable for people who have taken the choice to cut alcohol out of their lives. The 29-year-old has been sober for five years and is currently living in Portugal but is returning to her native Sweden in the coming weeks.
The trainee teacher decided in June to set up the Sober Spirit of Shankly supporters group after travelling to Paris for the Champions League Final at the end of May and has already managed to gain 20 members who have all quit drinking. She told the ECHO how she doesn't want to change the culture surrounding football, she just wants to create a more comfortable experience for those who have quit drinking for various reasons.
