Feeling the support for individuals to change their drinking needed to be a bit more empowering and a lot more social, Club Soda challenges people to set their own goals and organises fun and inspiring events &#8211; members can track their progress and continue the mutual support in the online Club House &#8211; joinclubsoda.co.uk.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe get drunk together, so why do we have to be sober alone? We want to help people kick-start a new healthier lifestyle. Changing your drinking with others is important to our philosophy and the key to success\u201d said Laura.<\/p>\n<p>Club Soda is creating a movement of people who want to change their drinking, whether you want to cut down, stop for a bit or quit altogether.<\/p>\n<p>In a 2012 poll 33% of people in Brighton said that they would like more to do in the City that didn\u2019t involve alcohol.<br \/>\n61% said that alcohol was part of their social lives and one in five people want to quit drinking.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8935\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8935\" style=\"width: 299px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/coopsy.co.uk\/thenews\/wp-content\/uploads\/club-soda-HarrietWC2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8935\" src=\"https:\/\/coopsy.co.uk\/thenews\/wp-content\/uploads\/club-soda-HarrietWC2.jpg\" alt=\"Harriet Waley Cohen\" width=\"299\" height=\"174\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8935\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Harriet Waley- Cohen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>The workshop:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Changing your drinking can come with a lot of concerns.

The workshop will bring you together with like-minded people who are thinking about life without drinking. During the afternoon we\u2019ll explore issues such as how to handle various situations sober that alcohol used to make possible before.<\/p>\n<p>In a very practical way, we\u2019ll look at the big picture and identify what you can add into your life to make you happy.<\/p>\n<p>With <strong>Club Soda<\/strong> you will find an ongoing network of support, we have a team of great local volunteers and this will be the first of a number of social and supportive events.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.joinclubsoda.co.uk\">More information click here\u00a0www.joinclubsoda.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>or follow us on twitter at <a class=\"ProfileHeaderCard-screennameLink u-linkComplex js-nav\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/joinclubsoda\">@<span class=\"u-linkComplex-target\">joinclubsoda<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; <\/p>\n<div style=\"position: absolute; overflow: hidden; width: 2px; height: 1px; left: -288; top: -277; z-index: 177;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/centrovitberlin.de\/anabolika-legal-kaufen\">legales anabolika<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; \u201cWe get drunk together, so why do we have to be sober alone?
