‘That’s when I really started to use wine. Not every single night, probably two or three nights a week I would be hurrying to get the kids to bed, read them their story and then get down to settle on the sofa with a nice big glass of my chosen wine.’ - Carol
‘If you feel that you need that drink, some people need it for confidence, some people need it for a little bit of dutch courage, or just to wind down maybe, it is a bit of a slippery slope.’ – Carol
‘This is why I find, for me, it’s relatively easy to give up on a regular basis for lent because it’s definitely a date.’ – Anne
‘As soon as you drink alcohol, which is a toxin to the body, the liver wants to get rid of it and it puts everything else aside to get rid of this toxin.’ – Carol
‘Even stopping for 30 days you get real improvements. Your energy levels go up.’ – Carol
‘I’ve found the people that seem to give you grief for not drinking are the people that have an issue and know deep down they have an issue themselves.’ – Carol

Anne originally trained as a maths and science teacher but then chose to qualify as an accountant and worked in business for 12 years. Having recognised that there was more to life than a successful career – specifically working long hours to make money for other people at the expense of her own health – she quit the rat race and returned to her first love: teaching, but on a part-time basis. Fascinated by psychology, philosophy and theology, she is now a successful trainer, speaker and author, who enjoys sharing her passion, purpose and knowledge with a growing audience.
