Let's explore how the fear of worrying what other people will think about your drinking, can hold you back in tackling your relationship with alcohol. Why should it matter if others discover how much you've been drinking? Will they think less of you? Do some people's opinions matter more than others? Does it impact your reputation, and can that recover or improve over time? Does it matter? Your hosts Clare and Jane consider all of these aspects, celebrity examples and their own experiences in how people's perceptions have factored into them getting sober.
