Support to help you reduce or stop drinking

If you're looking to cut back or stop drinking alcohol, we can help. We offer up to six 30-minute phone sessions with an NHS alcohol specialist to give you personalised guidance to help you stop or reduce your alcohol intake and prevent potential health problems.

Who can access this support?

These sessions are for people classed as ‘increasing risk’ or ‘higher risk’ drinkers. This means you’re drinking more than the recommended limit but are not dependent on alcohol.

This quick and easy tool asks a few simple questions about your drinking habits and gives you a personalised score.

It will help you understand your drinking level, whether it could be affecting your health, and what steps to take next - whether that’s self-help tips or professional support. It only takes 2 minutes find out!

Take the AlcoholWise test.

Taking the first step is simple:

If you’re dependent on alcohol, don’t stop drinking suddenly

Stopping alcohol abruptly can be dangerous if you’re drinking heavily. Please read our guidance on cutting down safely and get support from our alcohol dependency service.
