Sept. 6, 2024 – A recovered alcoholic has created a song to raise money for a charity that warns of the dangers of alcohol abuse.
Ben Gibbs, from Redditch, Worcestershire is releasing a single called “A Nice Glass of Alcohol-free Beer” to raise money for Alcohol Change UK.He said: “I was a happy-go-lucky guy but when my life went a little downhill, the drinking carried on.”
“The person that [went] out on [those] evenings was nasty to my closest friends and to myself, so after a few drunken episodes and tantrums I realised I had to stop,” he explained.
He said “grey area drinking” described behaviour in which “people wouldn’t look at me and think ‘there goes an alcoholic’ because I could go a few days without drinking”.
He added: “But my issue started when I had one drink, because if I had one I would have to have 10.”
Mr Gibbs said the song would be a quirky way to encourage people to reflect on their own drinking habits.
