What is sober curiosity? With Scott Woolley (Arclett)

What is sober curiosity? With Scott Woolley (Arclett)

What does it mean to question our relationship with alcohol? Founder and Director of Arclett, Scott Woolley, joins Drugs Unwrapped to share his personal journey to becoming alcohol-free and explore the growing world of sober curiosity.

Scott discusses how Arclett is helping to normalise conversations around non-drinking, and how culturally relevant approaches, particularly storytelling, can inspire people to rethink their relationship with alcohol.

Scott also shares his experience of sober shaming and how we, as a society, can move towards normalising such life decisions and how we can minimise stigma associated to people choosing not to drink.

If you have been affected by the issues discussed in this episode, please visit barod.cymru and confidentially chat to a trained support worker via Barod's Live Webchat Service, that is open 7-days a week, or call Dan 24/7, Wales' national drug and alcohol helpline on 0808 808 2234 or text DAN to 81066.
