Fraser Franks on Alcohol and Self-confidence: “For a long time I had all my confidence wrapped up into alcohol"

Fraser Franks | June 2023 |

Our ambassador Fraser Franks uses his own experiences to talk to us about the complex relationship between alcohol and self-confidence.

I made a vow at the age of seven or eight (a vivid memory for me) that I would never, ever touch alcohol.

I didn’t want to drink, but I wanted the effect that alcohol seemed to give the others.

For a long time after that I had all my confidence wrapped up into alcohol.

You are enough. Just as you are. We can always learn, improve and work on things, but you are enough.
