Rosa, 37

From wine club to herself

Then

Rosa belonged to a group of friends who drank wine together every Friday. It became Thursdays too, and Wednesdays. She woke up more and more often regretting what she had said. She got migraines and her skin looked dull.

The turning point

She joined a month without alcohol, just to try. After two weeks she slept better than she had in years. She noticed she didn't want to go back. Her friends found it strange at first, but two of them joined her.

Now

Rosa has been alcohol-free for three years. Friday nights still happen, with mocktails and games. Her migraines are almost gone. She says: I thought I would lose my friends. I only lost the hangovers.

“A trial period can show you how much better life is without it.”
