Melissa has been alcohol free for the past four years. She is the founder of the wonderful sober/sober curious community SoberSocial.ie. Initially in her teens, she used alcohol to connect, relieve anxiety and enjoy herself. At 24 she began a PhD in Queens University Belfast, she then began to use alcohol to relax and unwind. After many attempts to give up alcohol, she achieved her goal in May 2020.  Removing alcohol improved Melissa's life so drastically that going back to drinking was no longer appealing. She created a community because she just wanted to meet new people with similar interests and hence sobersocial.ie was born! Enjoy!
