Concerned about your drinking or someone else’s? Support is available.

If you drink regularly and experience symptoms like shaking, sweating or hallucinations when cutting back, you may be physically dependent. Stopping suddenly without support can be risky ~ speak to your GP or a local UK support service for safe guidance.

Arclett focuses on prevention & early reflection for people exploring a sober curious lifestyle. We are not a substitute for treatment. If you need professional help, structured services are available across the UK.

While Arclett focuses on prevention & early reflection, direct help is available across the UK for anyone needing structured support. The NHS and a range of national alcohol and drug services provide free, confidential help. Your GP is a good first step ~ they can listen without judgement and connect you with local services that meet your needs. You can also check your local council’s website for nearby alcohol support options.

There are also national charities offering free guidance for families, children and anyone affected by a loved one’s drinking.
