Topic Tuesday // Alcohol // Tuesday 23rd November, 7:00- 8:30PM AEDT

Hi SANE Community,

This fortnight we will be having a discussion about alcohol with our special guest Hello Sunday Morning

Why Alcohol?

We are noticing here on the SANE forums there is a continuing theme around alcohol use, with many of our valued members expressing their concern around their use of alcohol as well as a desire to perhaps cut down or stop completely, but not knowing how to do that.

This week we have partnered with our friends at Hello Sunday morning to discuss strategies to cut down and manage alcohol use in a hope to have a better understanding of our relationship with alcohol and how to be the one in control, rather than letting alcohol control us.

Who is Hello Sunday Morning?

Hello Sunday Morning is a health service with an aim to “change the world’s relationship with alcohol, One Sunday at a time!” 1 in 20 Australians see drinking as a problem and that’s why Hello Sunday Morning is supporting people through the development of their ‘daybreak app’ who want to abstain, cut back or establish a better relationship with alcohol.

This will be an open discussion with a representative of the Hello Sunday Morning team so our users can ask questions and hopefully find some support if they are looking to change their relationship with alcohol. As always, peer support workers will be in the background to share their experience and ensure everyone is safe and supported. This is a space for us all to share and learn from each other, please remember to be respectful, safe and anonymous.

Please join us here on Tuesday the 23rd of November 2021 from 7:00pm-8:30pm AEST to follow this conversation.

Wow, that sounds great @Sunflower2021 !

So how do people get access to the stepped model of care with the app?

@BPDSurvivor great question. On the Daybreak app there is a Care Navigator button which directs you to our stepped care model. We will post a link with instructions a bit later also

Question 2

Can you tell us about the daybreak app and how it works?

I haven't used the daybreak app, but the idea that 'real' navigators send and respond to messsges is very appealing. I have something similar in a different health program I am a part of. I find the real time messaging makes a significant impact.

The Daybreak app, developed by Hello Sunday Morning, provides access to a supportive online community,
interventions, and supporting people to reduce harms from drinking. The app has considerable reach, with more than
70,000 Australians registered and worldwide around 110,000 people have downloaded the app.
We have a local team and local tech support. Daybreak is moderated by health professionals during business hours
to ensure safety and quality.
It is free to use for all Australian citizens! Changing your alcohol habits can be a lonely journey. Our community is
encouraging and non-judgemental! People living overseas have access to Daybreak app for a small fee.

Wow @daisy110 that is interesting

Re: Topic Tuesday // Alcohol // Tuesday 23rd November, 7:00- 8:30PM AEDT

@daisy110 , would you say the app is only for people who have a drinking 'problem' and want to change their habits? Or really for anyone who drinks?

@BPDSurvivor
It is great to be able to chat to our members - even if it is not in real time the Care Navigator can reply on a one to one basis and the member will see the message when they are back online.

@BPDSurvivor the Daybreak app is suitable for anyone wanting to change their relationship with alcohol whether it's abstinence or moderation
