We’ve joined the Alcohol and Drug Foundation to talk about COVID-drinking. For most Australians, lockdown lasted around 70 days, which is about as long as the 66 days it takes to form a habit. Visit littlehabit.com.au for information on how to recognise problem signs around drinking and find out more about what to do to turn that little habit around. #breakthehabit
Did you know it takes just 66 days to form a habit? For most Australians, lockdown has been longer than that. We’re joining the @AlcoholDrugFdn to encourage all Australians to reflect on whether their COVID-drinking might have become a little habit. Visit littlehabit.com.au for information on how to recognise problem signs around drinking and find out more about what to do to turn your little habit around.
