Fiyaz has been Chair of Trustees at Alcohol Change UK for over two years – appointed just as the pandemic hit. Here he talks about some of the key challenges during that period and beyond, and about his own struggles with alcohol.
It quickly became clear that the pandemic was having a profound effect on the way some of us were drinking.
I’m proud of all that Alcohol Change UK has achieved so far, while recognising that we still have so much more to do.
Like many others who have changed their relationship with alcohol, my journey here wasn’t an easy one but I’m proudly sober now. This has fuelled my passion to help others.
I hope that by sharing my story, others in my position can find a way to reach out and get support if they feel they need it, no matter who they are or where they’re from.
If you need some support to manage your drinking there’s help available and there’s no shame in seeking it.
