S3 Ep160: Kelly from Scotland: The Fighter

In this episode we welcome Kelly from Scotland onto Over The Influence! Kelly has just celebrated a whole year alcohol free - although she has been part of our OTI Community for a little longer than that. Kelly's story is about the importance of keeping on - and even though it has been far from easy, she talks about why being AF is so important to her. Kelly talks about the importance of action when it comes to sustaining an alcohol-free lifestyle - and how it's as much about positive mental and physical health as it is about not drinking. We are so glad that we finally persuaded Kelly to tell her story - she's a lighthouse within our community, and now she will help thousands of others with it. Well done our Scottish Kelly! --- Get In Touch: Of course, you can always get in touch with us (publicly or privately) on our socials - @alcoholfreepod on Instagram, or search for "Over The Influence" on Facebook.
