Taking part in Sober October?
Taking a break from alcohol can also be an opportunity to look at your spending. If you usually spend money on alcohol, going without for a month could help you see where your money is going and whether you could make savings.
If you are worried about your finances, reducing your spending on alcohol may help, but you may need support with other financial pressures too.
Citizens Advice South West Surrey provides free, confidential and impartial advice on issues including debt, benefits, household bills and money management.
Our advisers can help you understand your situation, explore your options and find out what support may be available.
If you are worried about your finances, get in touch with Citizens Advice South West Surrey on 0808 812 7087 or visit www.casws.org.uk.
For support with alcohol use, you can also contact your GP or a specialist alcohol support service.
