S3 Ep39: The OTI Christmas Special 2021

This episode is a special one... We've been so lucky to talk to some incredible people this year on Over The Influence, and because it's Christmas we asked some of our favourite guests to send us a voice note with their top tips for enjoying an alcohol-free Christmas. Because that really is so important when it comes to an AF Christmas... It's not about surviving it, it's about enjoying every moment of it. We'd like to say a massive thank you to Clare Pooley, William Porter, Sober Dave, Susan Laurie, Dean McCullough, Craig Beck, Andy Ramage, Jenny Valentish, George Anderson, Abi Feltham, Delroy Bunny Pacer Taylor & Dawn Comolly, aka The Sober Fish, for their wonderful contributions. --- Get In Touch: Of course, you can always get in touch with us (publicly or privately) on our socials - @alcoholfreepod on Instagram, or search for "Over The Influence" on Facebook.
