Sober October with a difference

This year I’m running a Sober October programme. It’s for my clients and for anyone who wants to join in. And it’s completely free.

But this isn’t the usual Sober October so it won't be for everyone.

We won't count sober days. We won't grit our teeth to say no. We won't tell ourselves that alcohol is a poison. Instead it'll be a mindset shift set around the concept of Reasons to be Cheerful. 31 of them in fact. (Yes, that’s a nod to the fab Ian Dury song.)

I will help you get curious about new ways of viewing alcohol. And yourself. About your decision making. And what you are choosing to believe.

Throughout the month I’ll be going live with teaching and concepts and things to make you think, I’ll answer questions you send me and give you a new way of thinking about your relationship with alcohol. Mindsets and tactics and tools that we can climb rung by rung to get us to our goals. Whether you ultimately want to cut drinking entirely or moderate.

If you want to be notified when I upload new content (I’m aiming for lots of video), you can sign up at 90dayslater.co/soberoctober. l will also come to this thread daily to share concepts and answer any questions you may have (though this won't include the video stuff).

My goal is for you to see what you’re capable of. So you can finally put to bed YOUR drinking story. Whatever it is. And for this to be your last Sober October, rather than making it an annual event.

Today's final reason to be cheerful about changing your relationship this Sober October is that alcohol doesn't have to be part of the calendar. We build it in (mulled wine at Christmas, beer with Friday night pizza, champagne at weddings) but think about how wonderful all those events would be with or without alcohol? The more you start to see the events (and your life) for what it is rather than how it needs to be with alcohol then things will start to shift.
