ABOUT Bright‑Site

Hi, I'm Anna Parés, Sober Counselor and Founder of Bright-Site.
Bright-Site was born out of my personal experience. Being a social drinker for over 20 years, I decided to take a month off, when I realized that I could have a much happier life if I simply stop drinking. My weight dropped naturally, my skin looked great, I had more energy, and my mental clarity improved so much. Not to mention my relationships or life choices.
But I felt socially isolated - I had always associated socializing with acohol and had no experience with going out sober. So I looked for programs and communities to connect. All I found was either religiously motivated or seemed not serious. I wanted a positive attitude, connect with people where we experience the joy of sobriety and focus on the benefits of being alcohol-free, rather than on the negative effects of not drinking. So I decided to start my own approach.
Changing my relationship with alcohol has been very much linked with my development as a human being, learning to accept myself as I am, finding better ways to deal with my mental health, and creating a life I don’t need to escape from. I kept extending this journey and experienced such a life transformation, that I decided to share with others what I've learned.

I am a Multicultural Social Entrepreneur with an extensive international experience. After growing up in Beirut and Barcelona, I now live in Berlin, Germany. I lived in different countries, including Ghana and Czech Republic. I had the opportunity to learn many cultures and speak six different languages, work in English, French, Spanish and Arabic.
Many people say I have a good sense of humor.

Dedicated to discovering my roots and my identity, I am passionate about personal development, behavioral change, and alcohol-free living. My passion has become my job, so I am constantly researching, reading, and learning about topics that will help us develop better relationships, grow personally, and have a better understanding of oneself and others.
