Mindset Workshop: Our Relationship With Alcohol & Drugs

Mindset Workshop: Our Relationship With Alcohol & Drugs

Overview

A women-only mindset workshop exploring alcohol, habits, triggers, coping, social pressure and healthier ways to manage stress.

Have you ever stopped to think about why we drink, why certain environments influence our

choices, or why alcohol and drugs can sometimes become connected to confidence, socialising,

stress or escaping how we feel?

Join us for our next Amore Wellness Mindset Workshop, where we’ll explore our relationship

with alcohol, drugs, coping habits and the environments around us in a relaxed, supportive and

non-judgemental women-only space.

This workshop is about awareness and self-reflection — not labels or judgement.

You do not need to identify as having a problem with alcohol or drugs to attend.

You might simply be curious about your habits, thinking about drinking less, exploring sobriety,

questioning certain social environments or wanting to understand yourself better.

🧠 WHAT WE’LL EXPLORE

Throughout the session, we’ll look at topics including:

🧠 How habits form

Why repeated behaviours can start to feel automatic and how our brains can connect certain

people, places and emotions with particular behaviours.

🍷 Our relationship with alcohol

Why drinking is so normalised within social environments and what role it can play in

confidence, connection, stress relief and switching off.

🔄 Coping vs escaping

Exploring the difference between working through difficult emotions and temporarily trying to

avoid how we feel.


⚡ Understanding triggers

Looking at how stress, loneliness, relationships, social situations and environments can

influence our choices.

👭 Social pressure & belonging

Why saying no can sometimes feel difficult and why changing your habits can affect your sense

of belonging within certain friendship groups or environments.

🌱 Healthier coping strategies

Exploring alternative ways to manage stress, regulate emotions, connect with people and create

enjoyment.

💭 Identity & changing habits

Why changing your lifestyle can sometimes feel uncomfortable or like you're losing part of your

identity.

✨ Creating healthier boundaries

Giving yourself space to reflect on what you want your own relationship with alcohol,

substances and certain environments to look like.

💕 WHAT TO EXPECT

🌸 A warm and welcoming women-only environment

🧠 Guided mindset discussions

💗 Private reflection and journaling exercises

🤝 Optional small-group conversations

🌿 Activities to help recognise personal habits and triggers

✨ Practical tools you can take away with you

📝 Personal action planning

☕ Light refreshments included

There will be opportunities to talk and connect with other women, but you will never be

pressured to share personal experiences.

You can participate at whatever level feels comfortable for you.

🌱 WHO IS THIS FOR?

This workshop could be for you if you:

💕 Want to understand yourself and your habits better

🍷 Are becoming more conscious of your drinking

🌱 Are exploring sobriety or reducing alcohol

🧠 Want to understand why certain behaviours become coping mechanisms

👭 Find social pressure difficult


🔄 Want healthier ways to manage difficult emotions or stress

✨ Are trying to create healthier habits and environments

💭 Simply want to learn more about mindset and behaviour

You do not have to be sober to attend.

You also don't need to consider yourself someone who has an alcohol or drug problem.

This is a space to learn, reflect and build awareness.

⚠️ IMPORTANT — PLEASE READ

This is an Amore Wellness mindset awareness workshop.

It is not a professionally led drug or alcohol support group, counselling session, therapy

session, medical service or substance misuse treatment programme.

The purpose of the workshop is to encourage:

🧠 Self-awareness

💭 Reflection

🌱 Healthier habits

💕 Connection

✨ Conversations around wellbeing and mindset

We will not diagnose, treat or provide professional advice around addiction or substance

dependence.

If you feel you need professional support with your alcohol or drug use, we encourage you to

access an appropriate specialist service alongside community wellbeing spaces like Amore

Wellness.

Our role is to provide a safe community space for awareness, education, reflection and

connection — not to replace professional support.

💷 £4 REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT

To secure your space, we ask for a £4 refundable deposit.

This helps us reduce no-shows and make sure spaces go to women who genuinely want to

attend.

Your £4 will be refunded after you attend the workshop, or you can choose to leave it as a

donation towards Amore Wellness and helping us continue creating affordable wellbeing

activities for women.


Spaces are limited to 12 women, so please only book if you are able to attend.

📸 PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEO

Please be aware that photos and short videos may be taken during this event for Amore

Wellness social media, website and promotional content.

We always want everyone attending our events to feel comfortable.

If you do not wish to be photographed or filmed, please let a member of the Amore

Wellness team know when you arrive. We will make sure this is respected throughout the

event.

You are always welcome to take part in the event without appearing in any photos or

videos.

By booking, you acknowledge that photography and filming may take place during the

session, but you can opt out of being included at any time.


💕 COMING ALONE?

Please don't let coming alone stop you.

A huge part of Amore Wellness is creating spaces where women can walk into a room without

already knowing somebody and still feel welcome.

Lots of women attend our workshops and events by themselves for the first time.

We'll welcome everyone when you arrive and create opportunities for connection throughout the

evening.

Come alone, learn something about yourself and hopefully leave feeling a little more

connected. 🤍

AMORE WELLNESS

Ladies only | 18+

At Amore Wellness, our aim is to create supportive spaces where women can move, connect,

learn and grow together.

Sometimes changing a habit doesn't begin with forcing yourself to stop.

Sometimes it begins with understanding why it became a habit in the first place.


No judgement. No labels. Just greater awareness, honest conversations and healthier

choices. 💕
