On today’s episode Alex and Lisa speak to Sarah Drage. Sarah lost her Dad to alcohol addiction in 2017 and she strongly believes the stigma attached to his illness prevented him from accessing lifesaving support. As a consequence of her Dad’s addiction, she developed OCD, anxiety, and PTSD which enabled her to properly understand what her Dad was going through himself. However, that also led to an immense amount of guilt because she only understood once he had died.

Today, Alex and Lisa speak to MP, Liam Byrne about his experiences growing up as a child of a parent who drinks too much. Liam is a British Labour Party politician who has been Member of Parliament for Birmingham Hodge Hill since 2004.
He is a very proud Patron of Nacoa. Nacoa does so much for Britain’s 2.6 million children affected by their parents’ drinking. In the months that followed Liams father’s death from alcoholism last year, he talks about Nacoa giving him the strength to try and make sense of his life as the child of an alcoholic.

Today, Alex and Lisa talk to Ellie Webb, founder of Caleño. Ellie believes sometimes in life, when you can’t find what you need, it’s time to make it yourself. Caleño was born out of personal frustration. Founder Ellie was on an alcohol-free night out with friends, getting down to some Latin funk. But something was bugging her. Why should not drinking mean not having fun? She felt uninspired by the alcohol-free drinks on offer and decided it was time to bring some joy to not drinking.
