A woman who quit alcohol six months ago says she has lost one stone, feels better and managed to save £5k. Kassie Barker-Jones, 28, once thought of herself as purely a social drinker, but it wasn’t until her mental health took a toll that she re-examined her relationship with alcohol.
Kassie has now been sober for six months and since she quit her “anxiety dropped like a cliff.” She has been able to indulge in activities she had put off doing before because she would “prioritize socializing and drinking”.
She has taken up running, painting and baking. Before quitting alcohol, Kassie would regularly go out for post-work drinks on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
