I adored my Dad but he was an alcoholic so life was complicated and Father’s Day was always a weird old day. Best wishes to everyone still dealing with it.

If it wasn't for Kim Woodburn, I wouldn't have got involved with Nacoa πŸ”†. Saw her walking through the Commons with Liam Byrne MP several years ago. They told me about the charity, which was hosting an event in parliament that day. I accompanied them and I am now a proud patron.

Study by Christopher Oldroyd finds liver patients highly motivated to stop drinking but struggle to do so. 2/3 of patients with alcohol-related cirrhosis drink within 3 months, offering support within liver services sounds sensible. Please remember to signpost family members to support too.
